The Woods

(Album: Back To The Woods - 2015)

I mean, yeah, I really miss being at home in the woods
I used to, like, like, fucking lay there and just like pass out in nature
Just being with the wild, there's like mad animals there, fucking foxes
Like deers and the wolves, and like, just the creatures
You know, that belong with the trees and belong with the peace and I,
I swear to God, literally that was the only time in my life that I felt like I belonged anywhere
I'm like, you know, I just, I want to go back, I miss, I miss being, I miss being home

It's hard when you're grieving
I was too young when you left me alone
I never cried for you even
when I skinned my knees all the way to the bone
Cause we're both made from scars
We can't change what we are
It was a dream, I was wishing
Here in the world, in a tangle, I find
Always said it would break me
But I thought if you lived then I could be fine
But we've both run so far
That we can love where we are

[Hook:]
(I can't love you)
Back to the woods now, I'm going back to the woods (back)
My heart is no good here (heart)
Oh, it don't work like it should, was raised by the wolves
Back to the woods now, I'm going back to the woods (back)
My heart is no good here (heart)
Oh, it don't work like it should, raised by the wolves

It's a long way I came
Just running away from pain
I'm so far from home
I don't wanna be alone

I never asked you to save me
Just don't say that your hands aren't stained
I wasn't trying to desert you, no
I was corrupted and desperate for change
You weren't supposed to break from me
But you're wrong that I could see
But you kept trying to break me
'Cause you could see yourself trapped in my eyes
Now I'm full of the feeling
That I'll never know love that is mine
It took two to make a wrong
We never had to be alone

[Hook:]
(I can't love you)
Back to the woods now, I'm going back to the woods (back)
My heart is no good here (heart)
Oh, it don't work like it should, was raised by the wolves
Back to the woods now, I'm going back to the woods (back)
My heart is no good here (heart)
Oh, it don't work like it should, raised by the wolves

Back to the woods
I'm gone for good

I remember
Spending my nights on the floor by the kitchen
While he slept in the room with his wife and his children
That shame for you, mama
Pain for you, mama
See, that's what I wish I could change for you, mama
But I was so young
I couldn't fix the shit
You was too close to your sun, like you Icarus
Just sit'n outside, I got lucky to witness it
Love was replaced by how much I resented it
Now I'm so scared to connect with my heart, man
Feel like I touch it, it all fall apart man
I wish you never see that I could
That one day you find me again in the woods

Back to the woods, now
Back to the woods, now

The sun is always on our side
I think sometimes even the moon and the trees
and the wind all cry out for help
because this world is too big even for itself
Everything is lonely, like everybody else
For real, man, for real
And I and I just
One day, I just wanna
I wanna hop out of the cocoon and just fly
Just fly, you know, just fly
