lyrics

I know it's hard to understand.
My bleeding heart has drowned the forest
With the sounds of complications.
I never wanted to know how you found a way out of this town
And left us all without patience.

And I would give it all away
Give all the blood left in my veins,
If it'd bring you around
And bring you back from the grave.
Two angry men took you away
Barely of age--oh what a waste.

They found your body in the woods.
With complications.

I've spent the last few callous years
Communicating all my fears
With the ghosts you left behind--
But never mind. It's too late.
I saw the writing on the wall.
Those captivating lines of chalk
Couldn't quiet all the thoughts
Of joining you behind that mortal veil.
My God--It's calling me.
Color's left my life--so grey can hardly see.
So leave my body with the trees
So my soul can never leave.

Pay no mind,
I'll be just fine living under your eyes
As your body goes to sleep.
Forest Boy, haunting my mind
Oh--all that I see
Are the secrets that you keep.
