The Clearing

The Woods - Merman

I want to be someone
Walking by your side
Slipstream slide me
Back into the tide
Changing
Everyone transforms
Into a different person
distant and indifferent
Sifted out and drifting
The raft of this existence
Capsized

I want to be someone
Someone
Not a no one anymore
I care about the people
I watch them from afar
Oh, won’t you come closer?
We’ll meet on the shore
Where strangers come and go
I don’t want to be like that
I don’t want to be unknown
I am not a monster
I am not a ghost
I am a survivor
My will is to live on

I want to be someone
Someone
Someone
Not no one anymore

The Clearing - The Last Time I’ll See You

Spare me
Your smile
Your tears are
Not like mine
Stranger
You’re a stranger
All along we’ve never met
You don’t know me
And this will be
The last time I’ll see you

Leave me
Let it go
Nothing here
Is real to me
You don’t owe me anything
I can’t believe it’s sincere
I can’t decide
Truth from lies
I only know that this will be
The last time I’ll see you

Farewell wind
Sing to me
Cool the heart
Lift the head
Lift me up
Carry me
Carry me
Bring me to any place
Take me anywhere
Not here
Not this
Endlessness
That will be
The last time I’ll see you

The Woods - Operator

Bad man dead in blazing fire
Rotten heart held in his hand
Ashen fingers clutchin’ tight
Embers in his blackened eyes

Now I don’t know
Where I’ll go
Devil’s Hound or Holy Ghost
Slice of bread or sacred host
Golden chalice raised to toast

Oh Oh
I’m the howlin wind
Calling now, you listening?
Sane man with the crazy words
I’m that bastard’s grin

Mighty man who wages war
Upon the grave of buried souls
Silver toungue slides over all
And lies until it’s sold
Fights with words
Likes the dirt
Rolls his sleaves
And lets you work
Rides in after battle’s done
Just to salt the earth

Oh Oh
I’m the howling wind
Broken hearted home
Down and out when I returned
My family, I’m disowned

Operator Operator
Call upon the stars
Name them for our sons and daughters
So when we never speak again
They can still be ours
