the woodland

Stood alone in witness of aging wood-fires
With your burnt out matches in hand
There's nothing for me here anymore
But smoke in my lungs, I'm unmanned

To bleed or flee the woodland
(To bleed out or flee the woodland)

Burned by your memory
Broken branches dying in front of me
To bleed or flee (the woodland)
You set fire to my willow tree
Once was sombre but now I see, incandescently
The woodland

I'll be in the getaway car
Hoaxed by infernos I witnessed firsthand
I mourn the silence of your dying fire
Peril in no man's land

To bleed or flee the woodland
(To bleed out or flee the woodland)

Burned by your memory
Broken branches dying in front of me
To bleed or flee (the woodland)
You set fire to my willow tree
Once was sombre but now I see, incandescently
The woodland

Scarred by your memory
Has-been branches in hindsight reminding me
To bleed or flee (the woodland)
I'm reforming my willow tree
Through a warm hearth I see, incandescently
The woodland

You weren't wasted time to me
Though days without you burned the least
I know people who'll give the time you spent forgetting me
Absentee in the name of keeping peace

To bleed or flee the woodland
To bleed or flee the woodland
To bleed or flee the woodland
To bleed or flee the woodland
