Burst, and I'm awake
Now not straight from these woods we had known
and in the dark they gathered there
with ropes woven from strands of your hair
And like these kings that came before
i fell asleep on this strange forest floor
and they would spirit you away
and in the dances you gave up your throne
You're breaking your back to be alone
refusing this kindness you were shown
it doesn't mean anything anyway
it doesn't mean
beneath this canopy of trees
i wrap my arms around my knees
and rocking gently back to sleep
as i collapse into the deep
With these words that we exchange
this isn't finished
i couldn't bare to let you go
i couldn't bare to let you go
exhausted and estranged
testing your limits
this isn't fair, i didn't know
i couldn't bare to let you go
and it's a risk, but i resist
now it's my wish that you will (?) somehow
and you have everything you need
with this compass and map you ignore
you can't make yourself believe
discontent but you still wanted more
and at the swollen riverbank
you tried to cross
but you sank like a stone
You're breaking your back to be alone
refusing this kindness you were shown
it doesn't mean anything anyway
it doesn't mean
beneath this canopy of trees
i wrap my arms around my knees
and rocking gently back to sleep
as i collapse into the deep
With these words that we exchange
this isn't finished
i couldn't bare to let you go
i couldn't bare to let you go
exhausted and estranged
testing your limits
this isn't fair, i didn't know
i couldn't bare to let you go
and from the moment you arrived
you had seemed so frustrated
you had tried to leave this all behind to me,
and like a fool you had traded
they motion you inside to sleep,
from such a steep and narrow climb
these arrows at your feet were signs
and i could feel you frustrated
With these words that we exchange
this isn't finished
i couldn't bare to let you go
i couldn't bare to let you go
exhausted and estranged
testing your limits
this isn't fair, i didn't know
i couldn't bare to let you go
A burst, and i'm awake now
and now straight from these woods
we had known.
