Lyrics

Hmmmmmmmm...
Ah
There was a forest
One time some time
I walked through a forest
One time some time
The forest was beautiful
My head was clean and clear
Alone without fear
The forest was safe
I danced like a beautiful fool
One time some time
The twilight moon
Smiling and winking
Mist across my cheeks
Murmuring magic
Whispering soft
Soothing green
The fairies of the forest
Were so small they lived in raindrops
One kiss thru a meniscus
And I trembled with delight
That was a good day
One time some time
I walked through a forest
One time some time
Letter E
But now
The woods are dark and cold
Clogged with nettles and roots
There is a monster
And i am a monster
Addiction, obsession
Insomnia, depression
And the fear that i've wasted too much of my self
On rapid and vapid click-clicks
Isolation, anxiety
Inability to assimilate with society
And the fear that the monster will find me
Infect me and blind me
Butcher my heart and distort my soul
It's starting to get to me
It's starting to get to me
But there was a forest
One time some time
I walked through a forest
One time some time
I was okay once
I can be okay again
I've not gone crazy just yet
I know what helps
And i know what hurts
I have screensavered the forest
To remind me there are places
That the monster doesn't go
Ah
