In the Woods - Hugo Kant

I was left in the woods, no name in the dark/ all

Alone with the stars and the faces in bark/ a

Child in the brush cloaks moved in the shadows/

Quiet in the wind, blown smoke from the candles/

Raised by wolves under canine rules/ with

Magi for allies my frame size grew/ - 'til

Five years later after eighty two — I’d bump

'Paid in Full' on my way to school/ I

Forgot about the breeze in the trees/ and all of the

Animals and insects living underneath/ for

Got about the power of the stream/ and how the water

Raged over rocks, it was lost like I dream/

Now I reside in a maze of concrete/ and

Strayed from the place I was raised upon sheep/

No longer wild since my time as a child/

Time changes all its a sign of the trial/

I wanna run

Back to the woods/ and run back to the trees/

Away from the taste of the smog in the streets/

Back to the river with the leaves under feet/ running

Back just as fast as I can to retreat/

I’m

Tired of the metal and the cold and the grey/ I want to

Lay in the plants in the sun in the day/ and

Breathe where the air is fresh -/ - far away from

Machines/ and the smell of death/- - 'cause I was

Left in the woods never understood why/ found

Reason in the seasons, trees in the sky / a

Child in the brush, adopted by the wilderness/

Nurtured by natural, banished from villages/

Raised by wolves — my mother was a jackal/ My brothers were vicious,

surviving the winters/

No longer wild since my time as a child/

Time changes all its a sign of the trial/
