Adenostoma fasciculatum
Adenostoma fasciculatum (chamise or greasewood) is a flowering plant native to Oregon, Nevada, California, and northern Baja California. This shrub is one of the most widespread plants of the chaparral biome.
Description
Adenostoma fasciculatum is an evergreen shrub growing to 4m tall, with dry-looking stick-like branches. The leaves are small, 4–10 mm long and 1mm broad with a pointed apex, and sprout in clusters from the branches. These clusters are known as fascicles, and give the species its Latin name. The leaves are shiny with flammable oils, especially in warmer weather. The branches terminate in bunches of white tubular flowers five mm diameter, with five petals and long stamens. The fruit is a dry achene.
The oily leaves give rise to the common name greasewood.

Like A Fool
by: ShaimusYou felt something alone
You keep to your own
We'll never know will we dear?
Steps you took from the start
To be where you are
But I don't know where you go
And like a fool I'm looking 'round
For an answer with my head in my hands
So I have to
Close my eyes
To all but my own world because
The more I find
The more I realize I am
Just a rebel and a fool
You had fallen down
Your face in the ground
And you were all alone
On top of a hill
But we love you still
Oh you're so far from where you've come
And like a fool I'm looking 'round
For an answer with my head in my hands
So I have to
Close my eyes
To all but my own world because
The more I find
The more I realize I am
Just a rebel and a fool
Just a rebel and a fool
A-looking for something good
All right
Ooh yeah yeah yeah
Like a fool I look around for an answer
With my head in my hands
And so I have to
Calm my soul
I close my eyes
To all but my own world because
The more I find
I close my eyes (oh no)
To realize
