Penfold State Forest - Trophy Eyes

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

What did I do with the years

Now that I’m pushing 23

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?

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

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

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 clear conscience again

To swallow the lump that’s in my throat

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

Is this all I’ll be remembered for?

The scar they can’t forget
