I'm almost out of the woods
I can tell by the sunlight
Peeking through all the branches
Second chances up ahead
So cautiously I'm approaching
If there's a chance it isn't real
Wouldn't be the first time I made
A mountain of a hill
Cause in reality
My freedoms still so far away
I'm held captive by my bodies needs
They rewire the logic
That keeps me in touch
With the person I think
I should be
I'm damn near out of my mind
I have read it in my bloodline
The more I'm sifting through this history
The more skeletons I find
Cause in my youth during a winter far less frigid
I was ill prepared to makes sense of what I had heard
You built an oak wood frame
Housed a picture of us
Then promptly ripped your face out
Once the damage had been dealt
That's how I first learned that
These days go on and on and on
You can sleep them off
Or simply drone along
And nobody praises you for waking up
And shaking off
All the extra weight that life can pile on
Doesn't mean that you should not be proud
Oh my, I think it's time
Stop obsessing over why
You left behind
It was all for the best
