about

the animals are still warming up to their novel mental capabilities, not having yet found the time to indulge in narcissism of any kind. they do, however, notice this in their more highly-developed human counterparts, and observe that most cases of vanity and spite stem from insecurities.

lyrics

watched his head grow
as tall as trees;
the difference was he knew
& controlled what he perceived.

& i know it’s insecurities
that fuel his vanity –
something buried far too deep.

& when the wind blows
his leaves away,
the sky’s always to blame.
& all the wistfulness
eating at his heart's
an injustice he can’t take,
so he masks the pain
with a smiling face,
& a cluttered brain,
just hoping that he won’t break.
