Forest For The Trees by Trevor James

I’ve got nothing that you want and everything you can’t have
I’m sure it’s driving you mad
You look at all your shiny little things
Thinking you will be safe from all the worlds become
But I’ve got news for scum like you I do, who try to run from the truth

I was gonna be an actor
You invented mind control
I was gonna be on TV
Where you bought and sold your soul

Now I can’t see the forest for the trees
But I know how to bring you to your knees
It’s only natural to fail with no wind in your sails

I was gonna be a singer
You bought the studio
I was just a dreamer
you boarded it up and closed

Now I can’t see the forest for the trees
But I know how to bring you to your knees
It’s only natural to fail when there’s no wind in your sails

Can it be any more wild?
I can see you’re smiling
I can see you’re smiling
Maybe truly
You could see right through me
I’m dancing with a knife window open wide
To the sound of pouring rain

I was gonna be an actor
You invented mind control
I was gonna be on TV
Where you bought and sold your soul

Now I can’t see the forest for the trees
But I know how to bring you to your knees
There’s something lingering that’s dead
When you put that crown on your head

I was gonna buy a house while
You rented the public suite
I can’t afford my rent now
you’re flying off to Germany

After all at least I got a little pot to piss
you’ve got all that blood running down from your lips
And this whole world is starting to burn, maybe someday we’ll learn
