songs/poems i write

rubber trees

verse

rubber trees

student loans and fees

spiders choked by beetles and bees

your cigarette smoke is all an act

your life is a white lie, mine is all but that.

bridge

bare feet on soft ground

in the silence, afraid of sound

stepping into the littered road

leave your garbage here, lighten your load

chorus

rubber trees look so fake

like skinny models & 0-calorie cake

we're telling the truth,

but we're living a lie

and we're much too scared to say goodbye.

verse

i've lost the key to my heart

when i had it i'd fall apart,

now that it's gone i'm much more closed off

no one gets what they want, i'm much less soft.

bridge

bare eyes closed to the world

singing only about parties and girls

any moment could end this world, burn this sky

and we're more scared than ever to say goodbye.

chorus

rubber trees, they feel so real

maybe that's why they lose all their appeal.

your words are off

are you getting soft?

you're lying, just let me feel

all of reality loses its appeal.

this one's a very rough draft, not very good but here it iS.
