Scarred (by Joshua Kobak)
Through the woods, beyond the lake
Slither streams, ravines where trees bend and ache
Withered by carvings, scarring their nape
Scarring and starving
What was writ was right to be
Pardon this, I’ve altered three
The third the tree, and the second my lover, the first is me
Scarred worse than the tree
Winter was so cold this year
After I had carved her love disappeared
Frozen and starving, scarring appeared
After my carving
What was writ was right to be
Pardon this, I’ve altered three
The third the tree, and the second my lover, the first is me
Scarred worse than the tree
I have said, she’s leaving my dear, what caused this absence
She replied demeaning and lashing out sarcastically,
“If I were to tell you, you’d scrawl it on a tree”
As I write into the verse
I can see I’ve fallen victim to curse
From nature’s mother I must reverse
I must recover
What was writ was right to be
Pardon this, I’ve altered three
The third the tree, and the second my lover, the first is me
Scarred worse than the tree
(i'm sure i got some of the lyrics wrong... this is just what I heard from the MP3 I have...)
