National Forest by Lost on the Metro
Jilly wrote this after spending decades trying to understand her narcissistic father, and never really making much progress. It's a lament about their strained relationship. He died a couple of years ago and it had been years since they had seen each other. Sometimes there is no resolution, just an ending.

Lyrics
National Forest©
Lost on the Metro™ 2022
I blink too much and I think too much
and sometimes I feel you don’t give enough
I carry my anger…just so
a quiverful,
I’m poison tipped
And tight lipped
And they’ll name it after you
a forest o’ lies from seeds a truth
a grove of tales so tall
as far as the eye can see
as far as the eye can see
I’m disorganized… I apologize
and I hide behind all the white lies
I carry my hunger…to know why you let go
I’m heavy hipped and reckless
And they’ll name it after you
a forest o’ lies from seeds a truth
a trove of tales so tall
as far as the eye can see
as far as the eye can see
I’ll barely notice you’re gone
and I’ll carry on
you’ll barely make a sound
on this hallowed ground
But you’ll leave me a legacy
As far as the eye can see
As far as the eye can see
