Dan Gerbarg - Forest lyrics

[Verse 1] I don't know why I feed on emotion There's a stomach inside my brain I don't wanna be heard, I wanna be listened to Does it bother anyone else that someone else has your name? Does it bother anyone else that someone else has your name, your name [Pre-Chorus] I scream, you scream We all scream, cause we're terrified Of what's around the corner We stay in place Cause we don't wanna lose our lives So let's think of something better [Chorus] Down in the forest, we'll sing a chorus One that everybody knows Hands held higher, we'll be on fire Singing songs that nobody wrote [Verse 2] My brain has given up, white flags are hoisted I took some food for thought, it might be poisoned The stomach in my brain throws up onto the page Does it bother anyone else that someone else has your name? Does it bother anyone else that someone else has your name? [Pre-Chorus] I scream, you scream We all scream, cause we're terrified Of what's around the corner We stay in place Cause we don't wanna lose our lives So let's think of something better [Chorus] Down in the forest, we'll sing a chorus One that everybody knows Hands held higher, we'll be on fire Singing songs that nobody wrote [Bridge] Quickly moving towards the storm, moving forward, torn Into pieces over reasons of what these storms are for I don't understand why everything I adore Takes a different form when I squint my eyes Have you ever done that? When you squint your eyes And your eyelashes make it look a little not right And then when just enough light comes from just the right side And you find you're not who you're supposed to be? This is not what you're supposed to see Please, remember me? I am supposed to be King of a kingdom, or swinging on a swing Something happened to my imagination The situation's becoming dire My tree house is on fire And for some reason I smell gas on my hands This is not what I had planned This is not what I had planned Down in the forest, we'll sing a chorus Hands held higher, we'll be on fire Singing songs that nobody wrote [Chorus] Down in the forest, we'll sing a chorus One that everybody knows Hands held higher, we'll be on fire Singing songs that nobody wrote [Outro] Hands held higher, we'll be on fire Hands held higher, we'll be on fire
