lyrics

This path wasn't meant for me
So I try to find my own way
I stagger through the trees
The weeds and wild flowers
Deep inside the darkwoods
Foolish and naive
Stumbling through the dark
Amateur orienteering

The way is cursed with thorns
Reaching up and scratching
At my body like the tendrils
Of some ancient entity
The thorns they snag and tear
Try to drain the life from me
And all that I hold dear
Is tangled up in this snare

Weary and worn
Find a glade in which to rest
Lay down my weary bones
Let the dreams infest my head
Dreaming of pastures new
Where I'm content to remain
Where the soil it is fertile
Let my roots grow deep and strong

But I wake up to the darkwoods
Shaking from the cold and fear
Pull myself up and keep moving
There's only poison soil here
