lyrics

There's a black walnut dying in my backyard
But you wouldn't know 'cause the leaves are green and the bark is still hard
There's a new building going up nextdoor
It was delivered in boxes and slid into place, floor by floor

I can't seem to throw away the foam
From the time I thought I'd leave this home
No I can't seem to throw away the foam
From the time I thought I'd leave this home

And I'd play music everywhere
I'd sleep in my car and never cut my hair
I'd play music everywhere
I'd sleep in my car and never cut my hair

There's a bouquet of herbs drying on my wall
I read an article told me it would cure it all
The sadness and the restlessness inside
I could learn to live like this if I really tried

I can't seem to throw away the foam
From the time I thought I'd leave this home
No I can't seem to throw away the foam
From the time I thought I'd leave this home

But I'm not an herbalist
I'm not a seer
I'm not a doctor
I'm just trying to heal

But you know I have vision
You know I have dreams
I know that it's hard
But somehow it seems

That I'm playing music everywhere
I used kitchen scissors to cut my hair
I'm playing music everywhere
I'm not sleeping I swear
I'm not sleeping I swear
I'm not sleeping I swear
