See the forest for the trees
I told myself
You’ve been staring at the same one
All your life

Out of all the trees you could see
You had to see this one
And only this one

For all the lush green pines
The strong old oaks
The verdant maples
You see this… thing

And it ruins
It sours
It burns
Everything good

See the forest for the trees
Please
And maybe then…

Maybe you’ll be alright
