A forest grows-you take its trees
Leave a stump and count the rings
The dusted wood from which blood seeps
Won't get you much but empathy
While we're lying in the sun
I can feel you coming undone
Our love grows slowly
And I'm getting too bold
My mind shreds to flakes
I'll feel better when I'm not awake
We can't be afraid
We grow, and then we fade away
A forest grows-you take its trees
Leave a stump and count the rings
The dusted wood from which blood seeps
Won't get you much but empathy
While we're lying in the sun
I felt you coming undone
Our love fades slowly
And we're getting too bold
My mind shreds to flakes
I'll feel better when I'm not awake
We can't be afraid
We grow, and then we fade away
A forest grows-you take its trees
Leave a stump and count the rings
The dusted wood from which blood seeps
Won't get you much but empathy
While we're lying in the sun
Our heads pressed against the gun
Our thoughts turn frantic
We've grown too old
