Grow

He closed his eyes
 And was alone
 He held his hand and felt it grow
 He had become
 A gyroscope
 All wound inside and no control
 And all the tiny tendrils
 How they longed for reassurance
 As the little boxed-in bushes
 Pay the price of perseverance
 A wasted day
 Had come and gone
 He searched his wrist for extra time
 And finding none
 To his remorse
 He pulled the plug and left for good
 (Instrumental break)
 He cracked a smile
 And no one laughed
 "Im just an inside joke," he thought
 But who was he
 To say his thing to anyone about this stupid selfish stuff?
 And all the tiny tendrils
 How they longed for reassurance
 As the little boxed-in bushes
 Pay the price of perseverance
 He closed his eyes
 And was afraid
 He held his hand and felt it grow
