My roots are depression
And my heart is rejection
My limbs are falling
In every direction

I'm planting a forest
Full of dead trees
My soul was dearest
Before my life started shattering

There are animals living inside me
They're all rabid beasts
You were important to me
Before they made me stop caring

Night lock is growing inside me
And throughout my body
I know I'm becoming deadly
It's inevitable, you see

I am bearing poisonous berries
And the animals can't stop feeding
It's an endless cycle
Of my inside's internecine

I hear birds chirping
They must've broken their wings
They want to get rid of me
So they start clawing

I'm ready for some peace
But my grave is too shallow
Where will they bury me
I've become so hollow

They'll burn me instead
And the forest that lies within
Soon I'll be burnt to ashes
And be nothing but dead
