The Axe Forgets, The Tree Remembers

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Once where love stood has now been replaced by my one true fear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
