French For Rabbits - Dead Wood Lyrics

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.

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.

I can't watch the evening news,
all the poison that it's 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?

Dead wood, don't you hold me back.
Blossom out like a summer rose, dead wood, don't you hold me back.

Dead wood, don't you hold me back.
