Wooden Girl (Acoustic) Lyrics

There once was a girl

Who was full of life

Her radiance was felt for miles

She straddled worlds of spirit and flesh

And moved freely between the realms

The earthbound felt threatened by

And with stealth through a needle's eye

Extracted her glow without consent

Until she was just a shell

Now my body is hollow

Who's soul could I borrow

Fixed eyes like blackened pearls

I am not real I am a wooden girl

My arms were once wings

Goose bumps were feathers

Well equipped for all kinds of weather

But my wood gets chipped and easily stained

Bleached by the wind wet from the rain

To feel

What would I give

To feel to feel to feel

To breathe

What would I give just

To breathe to breathe to breathe

Time took its toll on the wooden girl

And soon they had forgotten her

Birds made their homes in her wooden hair

Her arms stretched high above her head

But through her feet roots did grow

They pushed underground with a deep hunger

To connect with other wooden folk

So she would not be alone

The soil gave her nutrients

Buds bloomed like a shower

She felt connected to a higher power

Her voice was echoed by more the same

A wooden phoenix out of the flames

To feel

Now I can feel

I can feel feel feel

To breathe

Now I can breathe

I can breathe breathe breathe

I'm a wooden girl

And I can breathe
