forest for the trees

don’t ever know what i want
pulled in opposite directions
maybe i’ll split between the shoulders
fissure straight down the middle
each morning brings the chance of something new
but i still fall asleep irresolute
holding on to the edge of the boat
steady breaths through the vertigo
crashing waves, i’m gonna lose my stomach
take it slow, a day at a time
hold my breath and count to twenty-five
the sun will fade to black and rise to blue
a long sleep never makes me feel renewed
can never see the forest for the trees
i’m not sure, even now, what i believe
holding on to the edge of the boat
steady breaths through the vertigo
crashing waves, i’m gonna lose my stomach
sweaty palms at the end of the rope
half a second from letting go
when my hands give out, just how far will i plummet
can never see the forest for the trees
i’m not sure anymore what i believe
holding on to the edge of the boat
steady breaths through the vertigo
crashing waves, i’m gonna lose my stomach
sweaty palms at the end of the rope
half a second from letting go
when my hands give out, just how far will i plummet

in the fields of michigan
their eyes had lost their flickering
their throats had lost their whimpering
their veins had begun withering
in the fields of michigan
six pretty holes to lay them in
their pretty hair, their freckled skin
covered in dirt, forever hidden
could you hear their screams
could you hear their screams
could you feel their pain
coming down on you like rain
in the fields of michigan
the frozen earth gives way to sun
and all the layers will come undone
they’ll be unburied one by one
in the fields of michigan
he laid you down to rest
he loved you oh so much
he couldn’t bear to leave you suffering
here without his touch
could you hear their screams
could you hear their screams
could you feel their pain
coming down on you like rain
