The Distance Between the Trees

There's too much to say but the words won't leave my head Instead I'll write on my walls in letters that won't ever be read Can I have more of the medicine that will make me happy that I stayed I felt like a tourist in my own bed My mind replays the words you never said There's so much to fear when the lights go dim You can drown your demons until they learn how to swim Just because I wasn't your hero doesn't mean that I wasn't brave The TV twitches in a chorus of static from where it played into the night To a cold and colorless room where my only friends are all dressed in white But there's so many here that have it way worse than me I felt like a tourist in my own bed My mind replays the words you never said There's so much to fear when the lights go dim You can drown your demons until they learn how to swim Just because I wasn't your hero doesn't mean that I wasn't brave If you can't get it out Draw pictures of what you think about There's hope in every line and every shade To reflect on the mess you made I'm feeling better now I can see the distance between the trees Clearer than anyone sees I'm ready to go back home I felt like a tourist in my own bed My mind replays the words you never said There's so much to fear when the lights go dim You can drown your demons until they learn how to swim Just because I wasn't your hero doesn't mean that I wasn't brave
