Was not my choice for us to bond We're not lovers after all Though I persist in hanging on I'll understand if you should fall We can stay 'til we've rotted At least we're never alone Admittedly it's you who's burdened You should let go Can you see? They made a monster out of me Strung me up by my ears from a tree Scare away the creeps and thieves Of the tree View obstructed now by me One good eye, now half of the earth Is all he sees Responsible for your suffering Though you'd done no wrong Your severed arms hang from my cartilige 'Cause I can't let you go You're swinging from my ears Now I'm the hanging tree I'll let you hang there though the years Until the guilt one day leaves Can you see Much clearer without me? Is the sun setting twice as bright? Does the air taste twice as sweet? And can you see In the distance, six-limbed me? Does the sight make you sick, do you relish in it? Do you ever miss Me? Head low, eyes slow Move down, look up Head low, eyes slow Move down, look up From town to town finding none like I Amongst humanity The shape I'm in no one would have me Not that anyone should When it rains A thousand more grew just like me Examples of what not to be Scare away the creeps and thieves
