Shedding The Deadwood Lyrics

Artist: Woods Of Ypres
Album: Pursuit Of The Sun & Allure Of The Earth

Itâ‚¬â„¢s no wonder Iâ‚¬â„¢ve felt so tired
Iâ‚¬â„¢ve witnessed the careless all running past me
While Iâ‚¬â„¢ve been told to ignore my desires
And grow numb with understanding

I walk through theses woods
I carry this deadwood
I am determined to see this through
Driven only by the guilt and the shame of giving up
I must complete what I set out to do - For you

It stayed on a shelf made of my arms
They had grown strong from giving support
I knew that my arms could hold out forever
It was my mind thatâ‚¬â„¢d grow tired
And in time would let go

Itâ‚¬â„¢s been so long since I have questioned
What it is that I really want
Instead I follow your directions
As you lead me on

I canâ‚¬â„¢t use it to build my home
It will not fulfill my desires
Some wood can be used to help build a life
This wood will be used for building a fire

Why carry this deadwood with meâ‚¬
â‚¬when were Iâ‚¬â„¢m going there will be living trees

Now close enough to carry it all to the end
But throwing it all to the ground instead

This bundle of deadwood
The pieces they fall
Corners indent the soil and accumulate on one another
Tumble down and pile up

It awkwardly spills like myself at a time
Like the time it had killed
Like every moment after it was collected and held

Iâ‚¬â„¢d give up all that I started
To pursue all that I wanted
I may arrive empty handed
But at least I will arrive
