Lyrics

Forest

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 don't know why I feed on emotion

There's a stomach inside my brain

I don't want to be heard, I want to be listened to

Does it bother anyone else that someone else has your name?

Does it bother anyone else that someone else has your name, your name?

I scream, you scream, we all scream

'Cause we're terrified of what's around the corner

We stay in place 'cause we don't want to lose our lives

So let's think of something better

Down in the forest we'll sing a chorus

One that everybody knows

Hands held higher, we'll be on fire

Singing songs that nobody wrote

My brain has given up, white flags are hoisted

I took some food for thought, it might be poisoned

The stomach in my brain throws up onto the page

Does it bother anyone else that someone else has your name?

Does it bother anyone else that someone else has your name?

I scream, you scream, we all scream

'Cause we're terrified of what's around the corner

We stay in place 'cause we don't want to lose our lives

So let's think of something better

Down in the forest we'll sing a chorus

One that everybody knows

Hands held higher, we'll be on fire

Singing songs that nobody wrote

Quickly moving towards the storm

Moving forward, torn into pieces

Over reasons of what these storms are for

I don't understand why everything I adore

Takes a different form when I squint my eyes

Have you ever done that, when you squint your eyes

And your eyelashes make it look a little not right

And when just enough light comes from just the right side

And you find that you're not who you're supposed to be?

This is not what you're supposed to see

Please, remember me, I am supposed to be king of the kingdom

Or swinging on the swing, something happened in my imagination

The situation's becoming dire, my treehouse is on fire

And for some reason I smell gas on my hands

This is not what I had planned

This is not what I had planned

Down in the forest we'll sing a chorus

Hands held higher, we'll be on fire

Singing songs that nobody wrote

Down in the forest we'll sing a chorus

One that everybody knows

Hands held higher, we'll be on fire

Singing songs that nobody wrote

Hands held higher, we'll be on fire

Hands held higher, we'll be on fire
