Slippery Trees by Tapestry Lyrics

Trapped inside your growing fortress, darkness eating up the light
You can place your weight on someone else’s back, but you’re alone tonight
At your chalkboard spewing garbage, product of a crumbling mind
Pulling out your hair, concocting hopeless potions, wasting time

Such an author, try and rewrite yourself in your fucked up mind
Too consumed by your obsessive schemes, you’ll soon be left behind
Dressed in white, oh what a costume, devil dresses up as god
Why you chose to build those barricades, well that I never got

Thought I was alone on my bed writing that letter stolen from me
When all along the room was living, learning secrets, what had it seen?
Like Icarus splashed into infinite sea plummeting fast through the sky
You serenade disaster, flirt with misery, fall and then act surprised
