Lyrics
I don't live in a time Where the truth prevails Things just seem to happen On an escalating scale They play you for a fool To weaken your resolve Drowning you in details To make you miss the whole Sunbeams and forget-me-nots Beads of amber, parking lots From your view you see a lot What you really see Forest for the trees I don't live in a world Big on clarity The way it's coming at us So relentlessly Where does one thing end And the next one start And where to begin To keep it all apart Sunbeams and forget-me-nots Keys are in the flowerpot A rider brings his horse to trot All is lost on me Forest for the trees Sunbeams and forget-me-nots Awoken by a rifle shot From your view you see a lot But never the whole piece Forest for the trees We're running out of movie-plots Your stomach's tied into a knot Crackles as the needle drops On a somber melody A heartbreak elegy Unsurprisingly Called 'Forest for the trees'
