lyrics

I built my wall in the darker woods
And it's coming down
I gave it all when I thought I could
Still it's coming down
Flee from the light of the burning sun
It's coming now
Just take this from me, for I am no one
And it's coming down

I can't stop it, and it's nearing now
Do I just let it in?
Let this all come down?

We don't live here anymore
Burn it down like we've done before
Can't stay here anymore.

No sins to atone or trespasses to ease
Just run it wide and let it bleed
The light lies in the dirt
when it darts through the trees
..and it's coming down
Set fire this forest
Let the smoke fill our throats
It's coming now
And the parasites smolder
In the arms of their hosts
and it's coming now

Nothing.
No More.
I've locked every door to stave off this disease.
To be rid of the past.
That colony collapse.
And just get up off of my knees.

I built my wall in the darker woods.
And it's coming down.
