Forest of No Return _(Lyrics in description)

Описание: Forest of No return - Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The clock on the wall is a hammer on my chest
I’m counting down the minutes to a final rest
This life was a furnace, a cold and bitter hell
A story written poorly that I’m tired of trying to tell
I see the shadows stretching long across the floor
I ain't afraid of leaving through that heavy wooden door
For the best it’s coming soon, the ending of the strife
The only peace I’ll ever find is far away from life

[Chorus]
Don’t you hold no vigil, don’t you light no candle flame
Don’t you dare to gather just to whisper out my name
If you weren't there to hold me when the sky was falling down
Then don't you show your faces when I’m headed out of town
No funeral, no flowers, no hollow words of grace
Just let the silence take me to a quiet, hidden place

[Verse 2]
I’ve watched the ones who hurt me try to play the saint
But I can see the rot beneath the layers of their paint
You have no right to mourn the soul you helped to break
You have no right to weep for every breath you tried to take
Don’t put me in the dirt to feed the roots and the weeds
This earth was poisoned water for my every hope and seed
From the moment I was breathing, it was venom in my veins
So don’t leave me in the garden bound by heavy iron chains

[Chorus]
Don’t you hold no vigil, don’t you light no candle flame
Don’t you dare to gather just to whisper out my name
If you weren't there to hold me when the sky was falling down
Then don't you show your faces when I’m headed out of town
No funeral, no flowers, no hollow words of grace
Just let the silence take me to a quiet, hidden place

Burn the memories to cinders, turn the body into gray
Take the ashes to the timber where the sunlight starts to stray
In the deep and ancient forest where the tall pines touch the blue
That’s the only sanctuary that I ever really knew
No memorial for the broken, no headstone in the weeds
Just the wind among the branches meeting all my final needs

[Outro]
Let me scatter like the dust
Away from all the greed and lust
In the forest, I’ll be free
Finally, just let me be
Deep sleep, eternal peace
Let the heavy aching cease
