Deep In The Woods

Deep in the woods I run
I'm on the run because I can't love anyone
I've got a black hole where my heart should beat
Cause I was born inside a hollow tree

Deep in the woods I hide
The winds of war outside I just cannot abide
The birds they bring me stories from the East
The men are running down to kill the beast

I'm afraid of them / Fool they see, they follow
They say I'm the beast but / Prey they see, they swallow
I'm afraid of them / But I can't pretend
I'm not ready for war
I'm afraid of them / Fool they see, they follow
They say I'm the beast but / Prey they see, they swallow
I'm afraid of them / But I can't pretend
I'm not ready for war

So through the woods I ran
My life was over even before it began
They made me swallow seven roses' thorns
To make me feel the pain their hearts had felt before
