Within the Trees

[Verse 1: Joe Black]
The air is heavy, plus it fuckin' smells of piss
The sun is hellish, clouds are melting jellyfish
Gotta find my bros, it feels like time is slow
The giant eye in the sky closed, it's time to ago
It seems to be the whole planet's haunted
The ground keeps gruntin' and kissin' me for steppin' on it
(Look, goddamn it) Then boom, feels like an explosion
Sounds like a locomotive in motion
Too scared to run, hear some kind of giant thumpin'
Old, fat, and slow, I can't hide or nothin'
The very sound of death comin' up behind me quick
Tentacles outstretched, I can feel its slimy tips
Then silence, no murder or violence
Just me and the back of my eyelids
Smoke swirls around me, I can hear the bag laughin'
Before I knew what happened, I was back at the cabin

[Chorus]
What awaits within the trees
You can't escape, no you can't leave
We plant a seed, its evil grows
Even though you shouldn't breathe the smoke
We need to roam (We need to roam)
We need to roam (We need to roam)
We need to roam, and it seems we've met
What awaits within the trees

[Verse 2: Lee Carver]
It's horrid in this forest, and I'm wantin' out
I'm high as fuck [?] I think that oak tree's talkin' now
Turned around, forgot the homies went their separate ways
I'm gonna die out here, I used up all of my vacation days
Now fuck that shit, Lee, you're a survivor
Don't get raped by a tree, I'll try to start a fire
But I forgot a lighter, fuck, all covered in spiders
Hallucinating from the chron that I inhaled, my time is up
Surprise attack, claws sink into the back
A pack of rabid raccoons, they must've smelled the fumes
Tiny teeth and green eyes, I'm being ate alive
By some forest creatures with horrific features, and they're screamin', "Die!"
My flesh [?], they dance with my intestines
I scream and woke up on the cabin floor with the expression: "What?"
I think my eye is gone, to end this song you should believe
Heed the warning, don't get lost up in the trees

[Chorus]
What awaits within the trees
You can't escape, no you can't leave
We plant a seed, its evil grows
Even though you shouldn't breathe the smoke
We need to roam (We need to roam)
We need to roam (We need to roam)
We need to roam, and it seems we've met
What awaits within the trees

[Verse 3: Billy Obey]
So it seems we lost our way within the trees
In a forest of green, only stems and seeds
For as far as the eyes can see
Let it resonate, it's okay, just breathe
But trust me, you'll snap uncontrollably
At least, that's what happens when you roll with me
Smoke blowin' in the breeze, chief G's to OZ's
Blaze cotton when I write, call it poetry
In an endless maze, I'm stuck, lost
In search of the strain until I puff, cough
Gone for too long, wandering endlessly
But I think I see the cabin, how can it be?
Did I make it back to my friends?
Or is this some sort of trick in which my life ends?
Either way, I'm done smokin' bud, that's when a voice spoke up
"You'll die on drugs!" And at that moment, I woke up

[Outro]
Holy shit
I just had the worst nightmare I've ever had
You did, too, bro? I just- what the fuck?
And you were there, and you were there
Are you for real?
And there were raccoons
I saw you guys there, too, in my dream
I peed myself a little bit
Think this old TV works?
Only one way to find out
Maybe Xena's on
Flip the switch!
