[Verse 1]
Dragged it down that gravel road
Moon was watching
Cold and small
Hands were shaking
But I drove
Never once looked back at all
Dug until my fingers bled
Mud and roots and broken nails
Every thought inside my head
Screamed
Then finally went pale
[Chorus]
I did a bad thing
A real bad thing
Left it where the black trees sing (oh)
Covered it in quiet
Covered it in leaves
Where no one
No one
No one sees
I did a bad thing
A real bad thing
Buried all the evidence deep
Under all the silence
Under all the green
Where no one
No one
No one screams
[Verse 2]
Tires washed in river stone
Threw the shovel off the bridge
Tracked my footprints with my phone
Till they vanished in the silt
In the mirror
Someone else
Stared at me with hollow eyes
Rolled the window
Heard the owls
Swore they choked on all my lies
[Chorus]
I did a bad thing
A real bad thing
Left it where the black trees sing (oh)
Covered it in quiet
Covered it in leaves
Where no one
No one
No one sees
I did a bad thing
A real bad thing
Buried all the evidence deep
Under all the silence
Under all the green
Where no one
No one
No one screams
[Bridge]
If the roots remember
If the soil can speak
Will it say my name
Every time it drinks?
If the frost comes early
Locks it in the ground
Will it keep my secret
Or drag me
Drag me out?
[Chorus]
I did a bad thing
A real bad thing
Left it where the black trees sing
Covered it in quiet
Covered it in leaves
Where no one
No one
No one sees
I did a bad thing
A real bad thing (so bad)
But the woods know everything
Under all the silence
Under all the green
Where no one
No one
No one screams
