Lyrics Trophy Eyes – Penfold State Forest
Text:
Staring at a blue lined page,
Trying to find the answers in ink.
What would I leave behind,
If I was to die today?
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,
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.
‘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.
Is that all I’ll be remembered for?
The scar they won’t forget.
