Title: Fantasy Root
(Intro – slow, hypnotic blues)
Yeah…
He didn’t know what he found…
Just dug it up… and let it take him…
(Verse 1)
He was a drifter with a head full of doubt
Found a strange little root when he was wandering out
Took one bite just to pass the time
Didn’t know he just crossed that line
Ground started humming under his feet
Heartbeat syncing with a rhythm so deep
Trees leaned in like they knew his name
And the sky lit up like a burning flame
(Chorus)
Welcome to the fantasy root
Where a lost man walks in search of truth
Every step takes him further from home
Through a world that ain’t his own
Welcome to the fantasy root
Where the past comes alive and the lies get stripped
He can run but there’s no escape route…
Once he’s bound to the fantasy root
(Verse 2)
Road turned into a river of light
Carrying him through the edge of night
Met a figure with a face like his
Said, “You ain’t who you think you is”
Showed him moments he tried to forget
Every regret that he ain’t faced yet
Laughed one second, next he broke down
Felt like the king, then lost his crown
(Chorus)
Welcome to the fantasy root
Where your demons rise up in a tailored suit
Every truth cuts deeper than steel
Makes a broken man feel
Welcome to the fantasy root
Where the mirror don’t lie, it just shoots
Straight through everything you dilute…
Deep inside fantasy root
(Bridge – eerie, storytelling peak)
He tried to run but the ground held tight
Roots wrapped ‘round like they knew his fight
Voices whispered, “You chose this path…
Now you gotta walk through the aftermath…”
(Break – tension, confusion)
“Wait… am I dying… or waking up?”
Everything twisting, too much, too much…
(Final Chorus – raw, emotional)
Welcome to the fantasy root
Where a man breaks down just to regroup
All that pain he tried to mute
Now he’s forced to face the truth
Welcome to the fantasy root…
Gave him more than he ever could use
Now he’s back but he’s feeling used…
By the grip of the fantasy root
(Outro – reflective, somber)
Morning light, he’s back on the ground
Same old world but it don’t feel sound
Root long gone but it left its stain…
Now he walks…
But he ain’t the same…
Since that ride through the fantasy root…
