lyrics

Sorry I missed lunch and breakfast
Standing on the bridge halfway to campus
Thinking I could get ahead of the curve
When things are going to get worse

Somebody took away the oxygen
That morning there was not a lot of air to breathe
Somebody give me a deep breath
I know there is but it felt like nothing was left for me

I had every reason to feel hopeless
I just had all the wrong motives
I knew it would have made a difference
I just wanted to be heard

If someone asks I blame it on the oxygen
I swear I don't let some news item get to me
If someone asks I won’t tell them
That there might not be a lot left for me

So I try not to walk past the bridge
Get the hell out of bed and feel accomplished
I've been doing it for years
I should be in the clear
But I step back and there’s nothing left

(Verse melody over chorus chords and shouty countermelody)
Everywhere I’d go the floor has fallen out
I'm not the only one I know feeling down
I was promised I had nothing to worry about
But that was conditional and long before now

When there’s nothing left

If someone asks I won’t explain
I can’t say it honestly I don’t want to give the context
You can say I’m overreacting but you’ll see
What I mean when I felt there was nothing left for me

Everything to lose
No way to keep it all
I’m just not practical
to have around at all
Every time, I recover and I wonder who wrote this
there must be a place for me
or I'm out of excuses

about

Fell From The Tree Rochester, New York

I fell from a tree.
I am in a fog and I catastrophize.
I am not ENOUGH, but that's ok.
