My sweet Black Sugar Maple
I've waited all year
For your leaves to return
You're the last around here
That winter was dark
Where the power line is
Those men with their chainsaws
Took half of your limbs
And I wanted to stop them
But I was too chicken
Plus they sent a letter
Stating their intentions
They had the law on their side
I didn't even try
I just watched from the window
You should know
That I cried
When will you wake up?
At the time in my head
There was much going on
I will spare you the details
But someone I love
Had and X on her forehead
Metaphorically
Everyone could see it
Everyone except for she
And I know it's not my problem
But also it is
I am starting to realize
We didn't get away with shit
I passed many a drug test
With my friends DNA
But I haven't quite figured out
How to not be
Afraid
How to not be afraid
When will you wake up?
A Monarch butterfly just landed
On my big toe
They do this migration thing
And scientists still don't know
How they know right where to go
I think they got something to say
Something like know thyself
And get out of thy way
But I'm probably ignoring
Some cold hard truth
I am trying to do magic
Hoping you'll pull through
If I touch you and kiss you
And sing you a song
Oh I know I've seen heaven
But there's so much
To prove me wrong
There's so much to prove me wrong
When will you wake up?
Am I talking to death?
Am I talking to death?
Am I talking to death?
Am I talking to death?
