After So Long

I’ll carve my way through the trees
Not prepared to just leave
Built my home upon these shores
Why I won’t give up the cause

Washed my hands and now they’re clean
If you want peace then do it away from me

I’ll chop down the rot within
Ignore the hate given
Stand firm against the storm
Wait until its passed on

Washed my hands and now they’re clean
If you want peace then do it without me

I won’t lie like you do every time
Saying that it’s all fine
You’re the one who taps the vein
Hoping to make me circle the drain

Washed my hands and now they’re clean
If you want peace then be gone

Sick of the endless cycle you breed
My life has been agreed
So believe me when I say, you should move away
Let me live in peace from now to some day
