Fallen Trees Lyrics

I built myself from fallen trees

I can't be what you expect from me

I built myself from fallen trees

I learned what grows from letting bad things be

Feel it fester like a wound that's been infected by the ugly truth

Maybe this is the plight of man

Stepping on each other, stealing what we can

But I'd never seen a rainbow before studying my deepest bruise

I can't drown my demons because that's considered fratricide

And I can't show forgiveness because I never learned how to let things slide

I don't want your secrets, I don't want to give you mine

So don't fuck with me this time

Some say I'm just as bad as you

Tucking my scars behind a polished tooth

But I don't use a smile to cover up the things I choose to do

Many have tried to sink me down below

But I'm vengeful and obsessed as long as I still float

I'm broken in a way that lets me pick what parts I want to lose

And I don't lose

I can't drown my demons because that's considered fratricide

And I can't show forgiveness because I never learned how to let things slide

I don't want your secrets, I don't want to give you mine

So don't fuck with me this time

I built myself from fallen trees

I can't be what you expect from me

I built myself from fallen trees

I won't be merciful or cower at your feet

I built myself from fallen trees

I can't be what you expect

From me
