Shut Us Down - The Prayer of the Tree Man Lyrics

Like a willow in the squall
I will stand and wait, anchored to a dying body
A faded agave clinging to a stone

Don't leave me here in your memories
In the notes i played
In the books i read

In the pages i wrote, let me live

As taste on the people i kissed
As smell on the things i touched
As breath in the places i visited
As smiles on the faces i met

IF A GOD AS DECIDED ALL THIS
DO NOT LISTEN TO HIM
IT COULD NOT BE A GOOD GOD
DO NOT LISTEN TO THEM

And i fade away without a word
(Every time I kissed you)
(Every step I lost and)
(Every time I missed you)
(Keep them in your mind)

And so if you love me set me free
Let me protect you with the sound of my words, with the warmth of my keepsake

I don't want to live as dead tree but as a living remembrance of me
So Please help me to die

I don't belong to all this
I am just everywhere
But not here, in this shell
Here in this mass of flesh
