From here the trees look black Mourning the loss of time Chasms in a sky of slurry grey Relatable and untouchable There's no pulse Forsaken and lost to the cares of others Sentries of a land doused in fog Immune to the forces of nature It's not a deafening silence It's that sound left here Fearing it too may suffer this fate Hopelessness Complacency prevails the spirit No sense to be found in searching Only more of the same beyond A world void of light This forest in my head I walked too far

It's not Sherwood forest
From here the trees look black Mourning the loss of time Chasms in a sky of slurry grey Relatable and untouchable There's no pulse Forsaken and lost to the cares of others Sentries of a land doused in fog Immune to the forces of nature It's not a deafening silence It's that sound left here Fearing it too may suffer this fate Hopelessness Complacency prevails the spirit No sense to be found in searching Only more of the same beyond A world void of light This forest in my head I walked too far
