for my favorite cowgirl...

"The Woods"
words on a page
are just stupid memories
of things you can't and won't forget but never think of
and you'll try to escape them
but they've got you trapped in a cage
will you chew off your own leg?

i will remember every minute of your life from now on
we'll share every second
i'll escape into your woods where I'm drawn

things that they say
are just stupid suggestions
of things you already knew but didn't want to tell
and they'll try to anoint you
ready to hang you on the cross and drive in one last nail

i will remember every minute of your life from now on
we'll share every second
I'm lost inside your woods until the dawn

feeding the trees
that become the leaves
that cover the ground
that covers me

until that time
I swear I
will stand, forever,
by your side

the words on a page
are just a stupid contract
of something we didn't want
but they still refuse to give

words that they say
are just lazy suggestions
of things they were taught to be
and won't grant to us

i will remember every minute of your life from now on
I'll spend every second
safe within your woods until our dawn
