Trampling the forest, forest
searching for that hidden pair
there were many feet before us
were we every really there?
climbing in the treetops, treetops
just to get a better look
maybe if I reach up, reach up
I can can grasp the piece of you I never took.
You were my lover/lover
you were my lover/lover
did you ever even care?
where you ever really there?
I used to think about the
taste of your flesh, the rip and tear
now I only think of summer
were you ever really there?
Laziness is easy, easy
when your couch becomes a throne
but if I never move a muscle
will my heart beat on its own?
A day without you is a year, a shard of glass, a cancer
a week without you is a footnote, question, routine answer
a month without you and the world seems not to care
a year without you were you ever really there?
