Lyrics

I do believe if the only way is out I get one when they seem to shout
 My mind is on the forest floor sending thoughts to the ether
 They gave me choices but I wasn't really free to choose, set myself up to lose
 And when they said live or die, I said neither
 You said nowhere fast, I say someday soon
 I'm not running, I'm finding my stride
 I know I'll see the trees and the forest from the outside
 And even when the danger's calling, the insides are calling and I might have to break to bend
 Even when I've seen it all from the outside
 I do believe that the only way out isn't, isn't enough to win some sympathy
 Lost on a winning cause, a great protector
 Oh how I relish masculinity in heels, we don't have time for feels or empathy
 If you don't go to therapy soon, you'll just end up a projector
 You said motherhood, I say manarchy
 I'm not running, I'm finding my stride
 I know I'll see the trees and the forest from the outside
 And even when the danger's calling, the insides are calling and I might have to break to bend
 In the end
 And if it all comes crashing down
 And I never quite make it out
 That's when I'll pack up my life and I'll settle down somehow
 Saying at least I tried
 And I'll have stories on my side
 I'm not running, I'm finding my stride
 I know I'll see the trees and the forest from the outside
 And even if I come home with broken bones, at least I may have learned to mend
 Cause in the end
 I'll have seen it all from the outside
