We're a Lot Like Trees

it's been said of trees that they're imperfect men

imprisoned by the roots between their sins

with branches that reach into the dirt like arms

to plant their thoughts like seeds

but it never seemed so to mewe're all living in the same room

and the heavens are the roof

we're all living in the shadow

of a canyon bigger than usit's been said that fire is just a greedy flame

with lights to distract from all it hopes to gain

all dressed up in colors to ignite it's claim

and a heart that's much like me

but I've never felt all that freewe're all living in the same room

and the heavens are the roof

we're all living in the shadow

of a canyon bigger than us
