Rings (Sped Up)

Sawdust in your lungs, chainsaw in the dark

Generations carved and cut into the bark

Every season bleeds, every silence stings

We are what we took, just hollow rings

Count the circles, count the years we burned

Every ring a scar, every scar unlearned

Rings, rings inside the world

We took what we never understood

Rings, rings beneath the ground

Now the forest makes no sound

Hmm

Roots entangled deep with everything we hid

Ash remembers names, ash remembers what we did

Fire speaks the truth that no one ever sings

We are what we left, just burning rings

Count the circles, count the cost we made

Every ring a ghost, every ghost we gave

Rings, rings inside the wood

We took what we never understood

Rings, rings beneath the ground

Now the forest makes no sound

Seedlings cracking concrete, they remember

Chlorophyll knows what we chose to forget

Ooh-ooh

Rings, rings inside the wood

We plant what we finally understood

Rings, rings above the ground

Let the forest make its sound, hmm

Ooh-ooh
