Willow Tree

Adelie, Chinstrap, Emperor, & Gentoo
A mantra to make you serene.
As your heart skips a beat and your foot's in your mouth again
Imagine the sound of the sea.

Wrap me up in cotton wool and put me in quarantine
Give me some pills for the pain.
Lend me just a little bit of your herd immunity.
So I can go out and feel sane.

Sometimes I wish I could be
A bit more like you and a bit less like me.
But I can bend in the wind
Like an old Willow Tree.

Here comes the rush, don't let it show.
Take a deep breath, let it go.
Here comes the storm, rattling through your branches.

me up with Aderol and benzodiazepines
To keep all the horrors at bay.
Now the men in white coats are all outside the door
And they're waiting to take me away.

And as they blow in the breeze
Deciduous forests are losing their leaves.
But I can bend in the wind
Like an old Willow Tree.

Here comes the rush, don't let it show.
Take a deep breath, let it go.
Here comes the storm, rattling through your branches.
