Where Chickens Live In Trees

[matthewshire]

the moment that
I stepped inside
to find you here with them
I knew it'd all be over
and I'm not dumb
I do know why
you travel to that place
where the chickens live in trees

I may not know
much about your world
but I do know one thing
it' s not where you have to stay

you say you do
the things you do
because you don't like how things are
and the way things are is
because of the things you do
and I'm not blind
I do see why
you feel like your going in circles
past the same scenery

I may not know
all that you've been through
but I do know one thing
that you could use a change

I know you like
how you lose the weight
and you stay up all night long
just staring at the wall
and I'm not dumb
I do know why
you like to feel like god
is it worth how you feel coming down

I may not know
much about your world
but I do know one thing
it's not where you have to stay

you say it's not
choosing it over me
but you just can't give it up
and you can't have it and me

I see you've made your choice

and I'm not deaf
I can hear the sound
of the silent voice in your head
saying "I want out of this"
