Jacko Hooper You Are The Forest
These trees are bent and torn
The veins of their core
Are ripped out, and tangled across the floor
The harsh side of nature
Of which I adore
Taking comfort from the thorns
Say what you need
I'm not here to think
Say what you feel
And I will watch you sleep
For one last time
You know just as I
These trees focus best in the light
I'm not trying to bend the rules
Magnifying all that's obtuse
Feel the rush of blood to my head
And I know I've been made a fool
Say what you need
I'm not here to think
Say what you feel
And I will watch you sleep
For one last time
Because you are the forest, it's true
And I'm looking through the leaves just like I look through you.
There too high up, I'm too far down
As ever my feet don't leave the ground
You are the forest, it's true.
And I wish you weren't
But, you are the forest.
