[Verse 1]
Branches like fingers
Scratching at my coat
Mud on my sneakers
Breath a little smoke
Path keeps on twisting
Phone has lost its glow
Every small whisper
Feels like it knows
[Chorus]
In the dark forest
I hear my heartbeat count
One step
Two steps
Shadows circling round
If I walk toward it
Will it let me out?
In the dark forest
I finally hear me now
[Verse 2]
Eyes in the thicket
Might be mine instead
Thoughts running quicker
Racing in my head
Name carved on bark
Years I never owned
Past lives in splinters
Bleeding through the oak
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
I touch the trunk
It hums my name
I’m small
I’m struck
But I stay
If fear’s the door
Then this is the frame
I push right through
Into the flame
[Chorus]
