Burst, and I'm awake
Now not straight from these woods we had known
And in the dark they gathered there

With ropes woven from strands of your hair

And like these kings that came before

I fell asleep on this strange forest floor
And they would spirit you away
And in the dances you gave up your throne


You're breaking your back to be alone
Refusing this kindness you were shown

It doesn't mean anything anyway
It doesn't mean
Beneath this canopy of trees

I wrap my arms around my knees
And rocking gently back to sleep
As I collapse into the deep


With these words that we exchange
This isn't finished

I couldn't bare to let you go
I couldn't bare to let you go
Exhausted and estranged

Testing your limits
This isn't fair, I didn't know
I couldn't bare to let you go


And it's a risk, but I resist
Now it's my wish that you will [?] somehow

And you have everything you need
With this compass and map you ignore
You can't make yourself believe

Discontent but you still wanted more
And at the swollen riverbank
You tried to cross

But you sank like a stone

You're breaking your back to be alone

Refusing this kindness you were shown
It doesn't mean anything anyway
It doesn't mean

Beneath this canopy of trees
I wrap my arms around my knees
And rocking gently back to sleep

As I collapse into the deep

With these words that we exchange

This isn't finished
I couldn't bare to let you go
I couldn't bare to let you go

Exhausted and estranged
Testing your limits
This isn't fair, I didn't know

I couldn't bare to let you go

And from the moment you arrived

You had seemed so frustrated
You had tried to leave this all behind to me,
And like a fool you had traded

They motion you inside to sleep,
From such a steep and narrow climb
These arrows at your feet were signs

And I could feel you frustrated

With these words that we exchange

This isn't finished
I couldn't bare to let you go
I couldn't bare to let you go

Exhausted and estranged
Testing your limits
This isn't fair, I didn't know

I couldn't bare to let you go

A burst, and I'm awake now

And now straight from these woods
We had known.
