Wyrm in the Wood Lyrics

Maybe there's a worm hidden in the wood

And maybe there is magic beyond what's understood

But if there is a chosen one, I know it isn't me

And if there's meaning in the myth, there's none where I can see

My mind was built on scaffolds of story, my soul on a framework of song

Despite evidence to the contrary, I knew there was a place I'd belong

But I grew older, and some would say wiser, with every inch that was grown

I learned to stop looking as tired as my eyes were, for doorways to some land unknown

Maybe there's a worm hidden in the wood

And maybe there is magic beyond what's understood

But if there is a chosen one, I know it isn't me

And if there's meaning in the myth, there's none where I can see

There was joy in the search for those doors, until year after year

I couldn't find that joy anymore, the sad truth crystal clear

There's nothing hidden to be found, a truth that makes me ache

And if there's any magic around, it's only in what we make

So I will make that magic, I will make that myth

So what does it matter that it doesn't exist

I will find the meaning, I will sing the song

And within this world I will belong

There can be a worm hidden in the wood

There can be magic beyond what's understood

There may not be a chosen one, but I can still choose me

And I'll make meaning in the myth, now I finally see

Now I finally see
