DASHBOARD CONFESSIONAL LYRICS - The Shade Of Poison Trees

"The Shade Of Poison Trees"



If you knew,

What I know,

Would you try?

Before your time

Has run on you

And worn you down



Would you know,

What you desire,

In your heart?



If you knew,

What I know,

Would you try?



Is there time?

Is there time?

To follow just one desire?



Is there time?

Is there time,

To follow your heart?



Dress your wounds

Test your strength

Face the night



Crave the touch

Feel the pain

Know the signs



Is there truth,

In your pain?

You decide



If you knew,

What I know,

Would you try?



Is there time?

Is there time?

To follow just one desire?



Is there time?

Is there time,

To follow your heart?



As we lie

In the shade

Of poison trees



Are we as safe

As we let

Ourselves believe?
