Cutting the Tree

Man wasn’t made
To live in the shade
I’m cutting the tree

Grass and flowers are dead
Evil thoughts in my head
I’m cutting the tree

It’s not surprising our horizon
Is bodiless and bare

It’s just a line around our island
Whichever way you stare

We are smaller than our shadow
We are darker than our night

And our vision is so narrow
Will we ever see the light?

Got to sharpen the axe
Got to cover the tracks
I’m cutting the tree

Faking a grin
Guilty as sin
I’m cutting the tree

It’s not surprising our horizon
Is bodiless and bare

It’s just a line around our island
Whichever way you stare

We are smaller than our shadow
We are darker than our night

And our vision is so narrow
Will we ever see the light?
