French For Rabbits – Dead Wood lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ride all day, sweeping out the cobwebs from my brain
Clearing away all the melancholy hearts that I have broken
Clearing through the undergrowth that I have left to overgrow
Finding the flowers in the darkest parts
And I am opening all the ground around them
Clearing all the dead wood from my path

[Chorus]
Dead wood, don't you hold me back like a sinking stone
Blossom out like a summer rose
Dead wood, don't you hold me back
Dead wood, don't you hold me back

[Verse 2]
I can't watch the evening news
All the poison that is spreading, all the misleading lines
Makes my shoulders feel so heavy with the weight of everything
That some don't feel inside
Doesn't it just make you want to cry?
Or are you so caught up inside it you won't even bat an eye?

[Chorus]
Dead wood, don't you hold me back like a sinking stone
Blossom out like a summer rose
Dead wood, don't you hold me back

[Outro]
Dead wood, don't you hold me back
Dead wood, don't you hold me back
Dead wood
Dead wood, don't you hold me back
Dead wood, don't you hold me back
Dead wood
Dead wood, don't you hold me back
Dead wood, don't you hold me back
Dead wood, don't you hold me back
Dead wood, don't you hold me back
Dead wood, don't you hold me back
Dead wood, don't you hold me back
Dead wood
Dead wood, don't you hold me back
Dead wood, don't you hold me back
Dead wood
(Dead wood, don't you hold me back
Dead wood, don't you hold me back
Dead wood, don't you hold me back
Dead wood, don't you hold me back)
