Caleb McCleney - TREES CRY Lyrics

Which might hit some other atoms making those go faster
So they can climb up and bump against other carbon atoms
And they jiggle and they make others jiggle and you get a terrible catastrophe
Which is one after the other all these things are going faster and faster
And snapping in and the whole thing is changing that catastrophe is a fire

I've sat in the pews where they sung hymns from about love
And sat in the shade of the trees outside where
Back in the day the same men hung men from
It's hard to put my faith in man
I put my faith in God but still I don't understand
How a man I trusted touched his daughters growing up with the same hands that he prayed with
How do I love the unlovable
I barely love myself
And when you do something like that it starts to ring a bell
Reminding of a time that I hate I'm so conflicted
God telling me to forgive I wanna kill you
They say blood is thicker than water
Well I disagree
Especially if the blood comes from your own daughter
I have no sympathy for your cries
I want to believe there something good in you
But I don't wanna believe a lie

I don't care I'll dace all night
Burn my feet just to see the light
I don't know if trees cry
But I see tears and they ain't mine

I wanna believe there's something good in you
I wanna believe that as a child you were better than the usual
But maybe fell into a trap by an older man trying to relieve stress from a cubical job
And now you're just a byproduct of the trauma involved
So you grew up thinking you could sex away all your flaws
But you can't so you spiral down a path of withdrawal
Men these days just
Masturbate and masquerade
Hide the pain hide the shame
It's a catastrophe
Avoiding therapy cuz it emasculates them
Bundle up the trauma shrug it off and fabricate and alibi
Im sure that's exactly how you were when you were younger
Sexing away the trauma sexing away the pain
Cheating and touching your daughters just fanning the flame
Constantly gone so you can avoid all the pain
When I was younger I thought you were the man but realized I don't wanna be man if this is what a man is
Ego to big to address generational damage
Damn it
I'm tired of walking around acting like i don't need a bandage
Told momma I going to therapy I can't manage
To end up in the same type of position with my family
If I see you again you gonna die
I can't forgive you after hearing how you made them kids cry

I don't care I'll dace all night
Burn my feet just to see the light
I don't know if trees cry
But I see tears and they ain't mine

God protect our youth
Gunshots mistaken for birds
Trees burning mistaken for herbs
This ain't Egypt I'm no Moses so I guess I'm feeling disturbed
Back shots mistaken for love
They say it takes a village but that village raping our little boys and girls
So I don't know how to feel about this world
Try to lead by example but my example less than pure
I'm not social for real I'd rather write in my notebook
Circle got tighter I don't really mess with nobody
I haven't let nobody in in like 5 years
I've just been hurt so many times
I'm not going through that again
You'd figure I'd get better at reading people after a while
I haven't just got better at faking a smile
Survivors guilt tugging on my heart guess I'll make the best of it
As I dance around this fire
