The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I'm goin' back

Of course I am

As if I ever had a choice

Back to what I always knew I was

On the inside

Back to what I really am

Look at this pathetic place I made

With little bits of sticks and hair, and anything I found along the way

And tell yourself you know

You're not really what you know you are, you know?

Of course you do

I think I may have listened to you

I think I may have even, listened to you!

At the height of my demise

(Breathe, breathe, breathe)

Break through the surface and

(Breathe, breathe, breathe)

Break through the surface and

(Breathe, breathe, breathe)

Break through the surface and

(Breathe, breathe, breathe)

Break through the surface and

I am forgiven, I am free

I am a field on fire

I am forgiven, I am free

I am a field on fire

Oh my god I missed you, it's been so long

I am stronger than I have ever been in my decline

Now I know, I know, I know for certain

Now I know, for certain

Shedding any

Burn, motherfucker!

Carry the carcass and throw it on

Pull up a chair and watch

The flies come roaring out

And will surround the entire world

And blacken out the sky and every last one of you

Like a plague of locusts

Like an exit, like an end, like the end

(Breathe, breathe, breathe)

Break through the surface and

(Breathe, breathe, breathe)

Break through the surface and

(Breathe, breathe, breathe)

Break through the surface and

(Breathe, breathe, breathe)

Break through the surface and

I am forgiven, I am free

I am the field on fire

I am forgiven, I am free

I am the field on fire

I am forgiven, I am free

I am the field on fire

I am forgiven, I am free

I am the field on fire

It's getting hard to know which side is the dream

I can't tell if I am dreaming anymore
