Lyrics Astrid van der Veen

Astrid van der Veen

Watching The Clouds

the weakest way for the strongest ache

it's a relief but in the end it's just a fake

it's so worn-out they gave this aberrance a name

I could try to change but life will always feel the same

to me

so we feed ourselves with the leaves of the trees

so addictive

but the higher they'll grow the more fatal their leaves

but on the highest tree I'll hang

when I'm done here

watching the clouds

cause clouds stand in my way

always blocking my view

a better reason than destiny

guess you remind me of what I'll never be

we live the same cause in trees we all try to hide

yeah we look the same but we're nothing alike inside

and I'll tie the noose myself

tightly round my neck

I long for the end

and when it's done I'll never look back

and on the highest tree I'll hang

when I'm done here

eating its leaves

oh I long to see the sky with my own eyes

cause all I've done my whole damn life

is watching the clouds
