Survivor's Guilt

from Self Titled by Feed Me To The Forest

/

lyrics

It feels like 1945
With all this death on my mind
I've got blood soaked clothes and holes in the soles of my shoes
I know I've failed them
Let them slip away

I'm weak like an aging oak in a hurricane
I'm trapped like a bird in a cage
My wings are clipped so I can't fly away
And I've stopped singing

You told me you'd die soon
And I couldn't take it
I'd give you my lungs
For all the air you can take in
Dear stranger of mine
Keep your eyes on me
Everything's fine you've just got to breathe

We stare at the frozen ground
As the pastor reads the eulogy
A speech I've put to memory
I've got holes in my mind that I fill with the dead
Nightmares that just won't fucking end
You know I'm so sorry

I'm weak like an aging oak in a hurricane
I'm trapped like a bird in a cage
My wings are clipped so I can't fly away
And I've stopped singing

You told me you'd die soon
And I couldn't take it
I'd give you my lungs
For all the air you can take in
Dear stranger of mine
Keep your eyes on me
Everything's fine you've just got to breathe

They called you a saint
Said I should be pround
That I did what I could
With what I had around
You put your faith in me
But faith wasn't enough
And now I'm singing another sad song
For the ones I've lost

You told me you'd die soon
And I couldn't take it
I'd give you my lungs
For all the air you can take in
Dear stranger of mine
Keep your eyes on me
Everything's fine you've just got to breathe
