The forest is made of dead, rotting trees A pale, half moon hangs covered by thick clouds The undergrowth creaks under your quick steps Your naked body scratched and bruised Your eyes wide open, the breath condensing fast Your heart racing, every shadow a threat A monster, a demon, some hidden fear You run from tree to tree, and there’s just no end to it
And you can’t remember who was wrong You just can't remember who started it You can’t remember where you lost your innocence If it was that stone you threw That lie you told That coin you stole
Your feet finally touch a soft spot of grass And you raise your head, to the gorgeous woods in front of you You allow yourself to slow down Your breath to smooth itself out While you just walk, in between the beautiful trees
Maybe you won't have to run forever Maybe you'll be able to stop
But it’s cold, it’s dark, it starts to snow and, as you observe the snowflakes touching ground
You start to feel warmer Something is not right
Your heart starts pounding again As soon as you realize you’ve been watching Ashes falling down from the sky the whole time
And with a red ember in your pupil You see smoke rising from behind the trees And all around you, the forest is burning
Flames scorch your arms, your eyes feel dryer than ever The heat is unbearable, and you fall to your knees
And as soon as you think it’s over You feel something, running down your cheek A long lost sensation You thought that it was a tear, that you were finally going to cry
But it was just rain It was just the forest, starting to rot again It was just the monsters, the demons, the fears Hunting you again
