i'm hiding behind the tall yellow trees
warming my hands and trying to hold back a sneeze
then a family of giraffes accept me as their own
traveling the distance and making it all well known
the sun is all the gold we will ever need
thousands of stars beckon us to pause before we proceed
holding my hands out to receive all i had ever ignored
i have a thirst for more, but ever content is the horde
now i'm lying there, head under water by the bayside
just waiting for the sunset and the rising tide
making friends with purple fish and a beautiful mermaid
stretching her arms making a bed under the shade
let myself fall in, embracing the blue as my own
deeper and deeper into the depths of the unknown
meeting a giant whale and letting him swallow me whole
now i have the direction because i have all the control
shoot me out directly into the high, open sky
right past the clouds and migrating birds i will fly
bright lights, no feelings, black sky is all i see
limp goes my body, nothing for my mind to foresee
one last breath before my uninvited free fall arrives
so i fall and fall and fall and fall and fall and die
out spills my blood and memories and little secrets
the moments i buried deep down with all my regrets
my body decomposes right there and now i am a tree
a pretty girl hides behind me to sneeze and i am happy
