Roots grew strong from the willow tree
Tree fort stronger the bond it had with me
Swing was nice, but the rope hurt my feet
Mud dabbers so common I called them bees
Fox tails in the socks, arrows flying in the yard
What came in the box, oh another toy burnt charred
Slip by the neighbors like a fox, and c***h bikes scarred
This was my life in the rocks, here this tale from the bard
Green bugs blot out the sun, rattle snakes name the butte
Tales about mountain lions were fun, spoken over sound of flute
Dial up internet had begun, and the sound of the reboot
Check out D.B.Z. to see if go koo won, free za smashing him with his boot
Round the corner, over the bend
Down shadow lane, halfway to the end
Hear the shouting, then try to pretend
Eyes wide open, am I next, does it depend
One two three then the six
Shout it with glee, f***t with sticks
Under the willow tree, suiting to fix
Plans to execute me, maybe in the mix
But the zone of w*r, changed as the crow flies
Removed once more, seen it in the eyes
Push through do chores, even his that I despise
Get the highest score, 3.5 or you don't drive
Honey sickles on the mountain road, spread thin
Coyotes howling in the darkness, fear within
Badgers in the road side, anger like sin
Lakes beyond measure, the legacy of the basin
Round the corner, over the bend
Down shadow lane, halfway to the end
Hear the shouting, then try to pretend
Eyes wide open, am I next, does it depend
Shhhh, don't look, but the smoke is burnt black
Toys scattered around the yard, quite the stack
Should have played with them more, wish they were back
Is this my fault god, am I really this off track
Walk down the halls, that I once called home
All grown up now, and somehow more alone
Send good vibes forward, come back with a new tone
Guns in the front door, poised to s***t prone
Matriarch in trouble, scared in the office
Run from him double, everything but fists
Beaten till bruises bubble, somehow never missed
Hand on throat in trouble, Yes I remember this
Round the corner, over the bend
Down shadow lane, halfway to the end
Hear the shouting, then try to pretend
Eyes wide open, am I next, does it depend
