You carefully placed the shackles over my heart And held your posture in a careless poise As if the galaxies around your head And the golden clouds spinning from your lips Were as natural and as merely there As the pollen falling off trees in the summer Before you died during the winter Just like the trees That you used to play in the roots of as a child, The moss around you transferring its spirit into you Unknowingly Growing into a fragile disenchantment A fragile discord A fragment of an untrue memory Worth dying for So you chased the golden threads That ran though your experience of life Like some starving prospector Searching always for the dream that would make you Whole But deep down you knew that your dreams Were woven into an ethereal tapestry Crumbling Paint chipping off a cracked concrete wall Withering to a powdered dust Oh you knew You knew That I wished I could have understood What our bodies together would have felt like Maybe like the bark of my childhood trees Divulging secrets into my ears That no one would ever understand But me

Trees
You carefully placed the shackles over my heart And held your posture in a careless poise As if the galaxies around your head And the golden clouds spinning from your lips Were as natural and as merely there As the pollen falling off trees in the summer Before you died during the winter Just like the trees That you used to play in the roots of as a child, The moss around you transferring its spirit into you Unknowingly Growing into a fragile disenchantment A fragile discord A fragment of an untrue memory Worth dying for So you chased the golden threads That ran though your experience of life Like some starving prospector Searching always for the dream that would make you Whole But deep down you knew that your dreams Were woven into an ethereal tapestry Crumbling Paint chipping off a cracked concrete wall Withering to a powdered dust Oh you knew You knew That I wished I could have understood What our bodies together would have felt like Maybe like the bark of my childhood trees Divulging secrets into my ears That no one would ever understand But me
