Silence

Something in the woods Buried underground Broken nails on bloody hands Clawing its way out We all close our eyes Evil leaves our minds for now That don't mean we'll ever get away I catch an eagle through the leaves It's by design The eyes fester and weep But don't see the forest for the trees They kept silent Lest the mammals Lift their chins and perk their ears (I wish you could be beside me in time Pushing that rock up the hill) Their eyes glazed over, gazing into middle distance Blind, Deaf, and Dumb (It's quiet here) Until, with its tusks (It's quiet here) The truth gored them to death We don't speak its name We don't speak its name We don't speak its name We don't speak its name Wake me up Wake me up, please Time cannot save enough for us Now it's the space in the leaves Wake me up Wake me up Wake up In silence Swallow the flames Deny it The evil remains I catch an eagle through the leaves It's by design The eyes fester and weep But don't see the forest for the trees I do not fear your sweet release I'm not alive The world will die with me To see the forest for the trees
