lyrics

I take a walk through this forest
Until I reach the bark where we carved our names
A climbing trunk with no branches
Reaching outward still stands tall all the same

The skyline is overgrown
We’re reaching for sunlight to carve out a home
I walk through these piles of dead leaves
I drag my feet through memories

I take a flame to my limbs
Burning, these ashes they take to the wind
This single burning pyre
Won’t be a catalyst for a forest fire

The canopy overhead
Consumes all sunlight
Raining down the dead
The forest floor
Turns day into night

And as we grow
Nature/nurture shows
The scars we couldn’t see
How could I live to know
This twisted trunk
Has grown crooked because of me

Don’t tell me
This is a sorry state
When I know
These branches can’t hold the weight

My imperfections run through the rings
Every layer repeating the flaws of my sins
I’m ending a legacy here
Keeping this patch of forest clear
