"tree" 10/24/07

(this is kind of a very thom yorke-like radiohead-like kind of impressionistic thing.
the lyrics are deliberately terse to match the emotion they're trying to convey.
they should probably be sung yorke-like: in a melismatic, legato wail.
or highly-processed low-fi vocal. they should sound as stunted as they read.)

	withered tree
	bonsai life
	cut small
	
	pulled away
	pushed around
	always been too old
	too small
	
	hymned in
	in a vacant field
	keep living
	grow more pinched
	
	invisible clip
	in on and in on
	snip snip
	smaller
	
	just like a real tree
	only smaller
	can't tell
	until you get closer
	
	then you notice
	closer
	smaller
	only smaller
