The Tree

Keith Landry

Take me where I’ve never been
Give me bad instructions once again
Strap me in and watch me fly
Sit back, take bets on just how long until I die
Just me against the world
Impressing all the pretty girls

I’ll do impressions standing on my head
Perhaps you’d like a song instead?
That double diamond underneath the lift
Consider it your little gift
Damn, I’m looking good
Just like you knew I would

I believe in karma
I believe in fate
I believe that I’ll be leaving with you, you just wait
So much of your future
I already see
Until I met the tree

Curled up in a dark room all alone
Next time I’ll have to break some bones
No little angel sitting next to me
I sure could use a little sympathy
