I can't see the forest through the trees anymore It's all just thicket to me now No ocean to see behind the waves No sea behind swells and squalls I’ve become lost in the details Of a life I find tolerable at best One day I decided I knew I couldn’t be happy with the overall So I sifted the sands of details To find some silver lining, a reprieve And now I find myself lost in the failure Of details that make up the failure of all Now there’s no forest for me to see It’s all just blurred to thicket for me

Thicket
I can't see the forest through the trees anymore It's all just thicket to me now No ocean to see behind the waves No sea behind swells and squalls I’ve become lost in the details Of a life I find tolerable at best One day I decided I knew I couldn’t be happy with the overall So I sifted the sands of details To find some silver lining, a reprieve And now I find myself lost in the failure Of details that make up the failure of all Now there’s no forest for me to see It’s all just blurred to thicket for me
