The Woods

I got lost in the fight The constant abolition just seemed so right But now there's a price to be paid Cuz once the war is over they'll take my place And I felt so departed, disheartened Every white flag left a lasting tear And I knew I couldn't be there I'm going into the woods tonight I'm gonna run till the sun can't hide There's so much pain from the last four nights I'm dragging it all behind me I'm going into the woods tonight And when I come back I'll change their minds I've got a gun and a heart of spite I'm laying it all beside me I was losing it all The way they pushed and pulled me to make the call So now the flowers won't grow Endless trenches now the fields we used to know And that's why I felt so invited Excited by the speeches at the town square And I thought I was seeing it clear I'm going into the woods tonight I'm gonna run till the sun can't hide There's so much pain from the last four nights I'm dragging it all behind me I'm going into the woods tonight And when I come back I'll change their minds I've got a gun and a heart of spite I'm laying it all beside me I'm going to the woods I'm going into the woods tonight I'm going into the woods I'm going into the woods I'm going into the woods I'm going into the woods tonight I'm going into the woods So when the final hour struck I couldn't hold my breath I cried until the sun came up Till I had nothing left They left me on the ground to rot So now it never ends I cried until the sun came up So I decided then that There is no glory for the weak When you are sent to die They brought the silence of defeat I left with two black eyes I can't be graceful in deceit Can only make pretend Cuz I will never let it be Not til the bitter end I'm going to the woods I'm going into the woods tonight I'm going into the woods I'm going into the woods I'm going into the woods I'm going into the woods tonight I'm going into the woods (I forgive you)
