Giving Tree Hanging Me

Was not my choice for us to bond
We're not lovers after all
Though I persist in hanging on
I'll understand if you should fall

We can stay 'til we've rotted
At least we're never alone
Admittedly it's you who's burdened
You should let go

Can you see?
They made a monster out of me
Strung me up by my ears from a tree
Scare away the creeps and thieves

Of the tree
View obstructed now by me
One good eye, now half of the earth
Is all he sees

Responsible for your suffering
Though you'd done no wrong
Your severed arms hang from my cartilige
'Cause I can't let you go

You're swinging from my ears
Now I'm the hanging tree
I'll let you hang there though the years
Until the guilt one day leaves

Can you see
Much clearer without me?
Is the sun setting twice as bright?
Does the air taste twice as sweet?

And can you see
In the distance, six-limbed me?
Does the sight make you sick, do you relish in it?
Do you ever miss
Me?

Head low, eyes slow
Move down, look up
Head low, eyes slow
Move down, look up

From town to town finding none like I
Amongst humanity
The shape I'm in no one would have me
Not that anyone should

When it rains
A thousand more grew just like me
Examples of what not to be
Scare away the creeps and thieves
