You brought me down So now it’s come to this A nightmare replaying over again and again We’ve suffered enough Barely breathing, hearts depleted Torn in two A marriage, a family lost all 'cause of you Make your bed So you can restlessly slumber alone with the dead I’ve been waiting Contemplating Reality has burdened us with this The axe forgets the tree remembers Each swing still sings your name I won’t forget to curse your name This song remains the same Over and over and over again Broken down to the bone I’ve shaken you lose from our home Silence is golden and has been for years Once where love stood has now been replaced by my one true fear I see your face in the mirror Where you’ve been waiting Contemplating Reality has burdened us with you We grasp our hands just to slip away again The axe forgets the tree remembers Each swing still sings your name I always thought we’d reach forever The song remains the same The axe forgets the tree remembers But I won’t forget to curse your name The apple doesn’t fall that far from the tree Rotten to the core your roots weakened beneath The axe forgets the tree remembers Each swing still sings your name I always thought we’d reach forever The song remains the same The axe forgets the tree remembers I won’t forget to curse your name The song remains the same
