Penfold State Forest

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Staring at a blue lined page trying to find the answers in ink What would I leave behind if I was to die today? But I'm strong enough to say that I have plenty of regrets And maybe I can never change, my whole life will be a waste [Verse 2] What did I do with the years now that I'm pushing twenty-three And I still can't tell the difference between the right and the wrong thing How did I get so fucking good at hurting everyone I love? Is that all I'll be remembered for? [Chorus 1] And I'm tired of writing sad songs 'cause that's all that I have left And it's the things that I reflect on that make me who I am [Verse 3] It happened again, restless in my sleep You woke me from a dream to say I'm not like my old man And maybe that's what I'm so scared of That I'll be no different I'll bring someone into this life And leave a scar they can't forget [Bridge] I ran my thumb over the faces in my old class photo We were so innocent back then, if only I had known And all those smiles staring back at me Where the fuck did they all go? What I would do for a clean conscience again To swallow the lump that's in my throat [Chorus 2] 'Cause I'm tired of writing sad songs 'cause that's all that I have left And it's the things that I reflect on that make me who I am And the first time we drove past Penfold State Forest I felt the weight of another life leave my back finally [Outro] Is this all I'll be remembered for? The scar they can't forget
