Ani Difranco - Forest For the Trees lyrics

you wander into the forest following that shiny red ball and by the time you looked up you were lost, that's not all instead of being the hero boy he finds his way and emerges a man you just start cutting me down tree by tree as fast as you can oh say can you see me oh say can you see me oh say can you see me over here, over here you want me to tell you a story but I am weary of entertaining I'll have more to say when I'm happy 'course then I'll have less to say 'cause there's no me left for me no anecdotal term of ? here no wild adventures, except in darkness so dark, I'd rather not say oh say can you see me oh say can you see me oh say can you see me over here, over here, over here
