oxeandale - the forest makes for a familiar kindling

Take my word for it, buddy
Things are not as bad as they seem
It's what he said before running
He lost his mind, along with it, lost me
Gave wise words then went quiet
'Cause he always knew to hit me where it hurts
Send me to my room crying
Except I wasn't a child anymore

The trees will burn and learn to rebuild
It's such a vicious cycle, isn't it?
The fire dances with the wind
They dance until their feet get tired
The seasons will torment each other
They tease and bite because they are provoked
The forest makes for a familiar kindling
Can't heal the vicious cycle inside you

Long after I ran away, his harmful words ring in my ears, nonstop
Tried to do it all my way
But maybe he was right and I'm not worth a single damn

The trees will burn and learn to rebuild
It's such a vicious cycle, isn't it?
The fire dances with the wind
They dance until their feet get tired
The seasons will torment each other
They tease and bite because they are provoked
The forest makes for a familiar kindling
I can't heal the vicious cycle inside you
I can't heal the vicious cycle inside you
I can't heal the vicious cycle inside you

I swear to you
The best I tried to live a normal, righteous life
I almost died a hundred times
And now inside me, there's no light
I'm not okay, I never was
And you said it was just a phase
Then why am I on the train tracks and waiting for the winter solstice?
The sweet release of winter solstice
The sweet release of winter solstice

The forest makes for a familiar kindling
Can't heal the vicious cycle inside me
The forest makes for a familiar kindling
Can't heal the vicious cycle inside me
