These trees are bent and torn The veins of their core Are ripped out, and tangled across the floor The harsh side of nature Of which i adore Taking comfort from the thorns Say what you need I'm not here to think Say what you feel And i will watch you sleep For one last time You know just as i These trees focus best in the light I'm not trying to bend the rules Magnifying all that's obtuse Feel the rush of blood to my head And i know i've been made a fool Say what you need I'm not here to think Say what you feel And i will watch you sleep For one last time Because you are the forest, it's true And i'm looking through the leaves just like i look through you. There too high up, i'm too far down As ever my feet don't leave the ground You are the forest, it's true. And i wish you weren't But, you are the forest.

Common Sense 03:36
Don't worry about the boy He'll grow in his own time I know he may seem lost But he will be ok He just doesn't want to throw All of his hard work away It takes a second to know But it takes longer to learn That you don't always have to do it alone You're over reacting again And it doesn't have to take long to regain Now all of these fallen, searching pieces, That make up what he comprehends And it'll all be over before you can say Which way does he turn Will he ever be ok He doesn't need a lecture He just needs common sense So see what it is you want to see And it'll be just more than me Because you require A straight faced liar And that is just not me And now you know me all too well For this to ever sell So don't expect a miracle Expect it satirical You're over reacting again And it doesn't have to take long to regain Now all of these fallen, searching pieces, That make up what he comprehends And it'll all be over before you can say Which way does he turn Will he ever be ok

The River 03:12
Let's go sit down by the river Me and my best friend I see tents and smoke in the distance I see acres of lands between me and fear We're walking down towards the river Me and my best friend And as i dip myself into the water Free myself of all that is tense For these moments, i digress You know You know You know just where to find me You know You know You know i'll be down by the river

Freefall 04:06
My heart beats With the rhythm of a drum It's been so long Since love tangled my spine Brought me back home Where i don't sleep alone Where we breath as one On our sides This could be A miracle This should be It all We're in freefall We're in freefall This just shows It never goes As we rush towards This waterfall We're sinking further We're plunging deeper It's beautiful We're in freefall We're in freefall Take your time

Lullaby 02:16
Don't fret The night's still young There's plenty of darkness here So i'll carry on Today is now tomorrow And i should have known That i'd still be up at this hour On my own This is my lullaby I sing so i can rest my eyes But not too loud The house is sleeping
