[Intro]
[Spoken][old female Voice]
"Those woods belong to something else.... The ground is bad... It maybe just some crazy folktale... but there is something up in those woods,... something that brings things back... Sometimes dead is better."
[Verse 1]
Small white stones in crooked lines,
Plastic flowers, broken signs,
Names half gone, rain in the dirt,
Tiny shoes in the churchyard hurt.
Wind through crosses, thin and dry,
Something answers when we cry,
Every loss wants more than tears,
Every grave is listening here.
[Pre-Chorus]
You don't bury what is gone,
You just teach it how to come back wrong.
[Chorus]
[Heavy EBM beat]
Not the same, not the same,
Comes back wearing a different name,
Not the same, not the same,
Looks like love, but it feels like pain.
[Verse 2]
Hands that knew you feel like wood,
Eyes that look but never could,
Voices stitched from yesterday,
Say the words but not the way.
Hope is just a loaded gun,
Pointed at the living ones,
Every wish that fights the end,
Breaks the thing you try to mend.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
You can't heal what wants to stay,
You can't love what walks away.
[Chorus]
[Maximum intensity]
Not the same, not the same,
Comes back wearing a different name,
Not the same, not the same,
Looks like love, but it feels like pain.
[Bridge]
[Atmospheric breakdown]
We plant our grief into the ground,
And pray it comes back safe and sound,
But what returns is sharp and thin,
A memory wearing borrowed skin.
[Screamed]
It knows your face, it knows your voice,
It knows your fear, it knows your choice,
It doesn't hate, it doesn't care,
It just comes back — and isn't there.
[Final Chorus]
Not the same, not the same,
Comes back wearing a different name,
Not the same, not the same,
Looks like love, but it feels like pain.
Not the same, not the same,
Comes back wearing a different name,
Not the same, not the same,
Looks like love, but it feels like pain.
[Outro]
