Now when the flames come up
I see the fire in your eyes
Now when the flames come up
I can hear a lone wolf cry
I want to pick you up and start to run
Away from here
Before they find me and my smoking gun
It fucks me up, the damage done
I’m tired of this
I fight a war that can’t be won
Maybe you are stronger than I was
But, trust me cause I know
The woods get what they want
And when the rain comes down
I’ll watch it wash you to the bone
Baby, can you see me now?
With my eyes clear, I’m sober
I remember when you went away
& Back you came
Like a fuckin' hurricane
You saw a ghost inside of me
It haunted you
You couldn’t see the forest for the trees
Maybe you are stronger than I was
But, trust me cause' I know the woods
Get what they want
The wolves will chase you down
They’ll bring you to your knees
& Run you ragged to the ground
Just like they did to me
I’ve had blood on my hands
I stepped over the body of a good man
I wanted to change so, I walked away
It was giving me hell so, I gave it the same
I’ve had blood on my hands
Stepped over the body of a good man
I wanted to change cause I wasn’t the same
It took me to hell so, I gave it away
I’ve had blood on my hands
Stepped over the body of a good man
I wanted to change so, I walked away
It was giving me hell so, I gave it the same
Maybe you are stronger than I was
But, trust me cause I know
The woods get what they want
Heaven only knows where the stories gonna' stop
I can’t believe my eyes
The woods got what they want
Can’t you feel it in the air right now?
The love and loss?
The hate in the rain?
Don’t I know best?
Better the devil that you know
Than the devil that you don’t
Baby blue, I understand
I’ve been here, too
