Lyrics Penfold State Forest - Trophy Eyes

Penfold State Forest

Staring at a blue lined page
Trying to find the answers in ink
What would I leave behind
If I was to die today?
But I’m strong enough to say
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
If only I had known
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
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 this all I’ll be remembered for?
The scar they can’t forget
