Decomposing Trees Lyrics

My toes can talk
And they're smiling at me
"Come down," they say
Not afraid anymore

And they talk to me
And they smile at me

I walked upstream
And I sat in the mud
Life starts again
Watching trees decompose

And they talk to me
And they smile at me

an LSD or psychedelics come down song,

out in the woods all night coming down from a trip, after getting a bit of the fear, looks at his toes and they smile and reassure him, "come down" they say

then back to mundanity, staring at trees until drug wears off completely, life sucks again

but memory of that connection with higher self, the toes talking and smiling, lingers on

Lyric correction: "life STARTS again" NOT "life SUCKS again". Sheesh.
