Tree
I am a shameful disgrace
I taint the living human race
My family hides from me
Cutting my branch off the family tree
I tried to grow back
But at my roots they did hack
One day I left and disappeared
Away from all the ones I feared
But freedom was not what I hoped
In fact there was even more hate than I had coped
I tied this noose around my neck
Causing this giant wreck
Can I make it to the end
Make life the best feeling half dead
Only so many smiles I have to use
Will I manage to grow as a spruce
For my tree is slowly dying
Nothing cares, not even the sky is crying...
I taint the living human race

In fact there was even more hate than I had coped
I tied this noose around my neck
Causing this giant wreck
Can I make it to the end
Make life the best feeling half dead
Only so many smiles I have to use
Will I manage to grow as a spruce
For my tree is slowly dying
Nothing cares, not even the sky is crying...
