where truth becomes tall tale

the tall pines

fragrant, immortal

lent their branches,

they brought em low

they took me up,

they held me up 

just to see me glow.

oh how we looked all through the dark night

casting moon shadows.

i had walked the trail

we had walked before

the one where truth

becomes a tall tale.

i was guided by

stars 

and stolen memories,

booze and love and hate:
call it a quality  

quarter life reverie.

im condemned to be

the ever better me

show me how to be

an even better me.

the tall pines

fragrant, immortal

lent their branches,

they brought em low

they took me up,

they held me up 

just to see me glow.

oh how we looked all through the dark night

casting moon shadows.

hoppin boulders

got the whole world 

upon my shoulders

racin, chasin an ever faster pace.

im hungry

wether cotton or denim or

velvet or lace

nevermind the veil

nevermind the time

i will charge without fail

till were walking in place,till there isnt 

a moment of rhyme

left in space

that doesnt involve 

my lips kissing your face.

i walked that trail again,

i walked that trail again.

the tall pines

fragrant, immortal

lent their branches,

they brought em low

they took me up,

they held me up 

just to see me glow.

oh how we looked all through the dark night

casting moon shadows.

were casting moon shadows.
