[Title: Ghosts in the Woods (feat. The StreetDolls)]
[Style: Acoustic Cinematic Indie Pop]
[Tempo: ~74 BPM]
[Key: A Minor]
[Tone: Eerie, reflective, atmospheric]
[Intro (Acoustic guitar + wind)]
[StreetDolls (Females) – whisper harmony]
In the trees…
In the wind…
We remember where you’ve been…
[Verse 1 – ELI - Male]
Walking through the woods where the pine trees lean,
Cabin frame rising where the fire had been.
Hammer in my hand but the air feels strange,
Like the forest knows my name.
Smoke still drifting through the midnight air,
Ash in the dirt but I’m still standing there.
Thought the fire burned everything I took…
But something’s watching in the woods.
[Pre-Chorus – StreetDolls - Females]
We saw the flames…
We saw the fall…
We watched you lose it all.
But in the dark…
Where shadows stood…
You walked back through the woods.
[Chorus – ELI (Male) + StreetDolls (Females) (Harmonized)]
Ghosts in the woods tonight,
Voices moving through the pines.
Every step I take to rebuild my life
Echoes through the night.
Ghosts in the woods still near,
But I don’t run from fear.
If the past walks beside me here…
Then it walks through the woods with me.
[Verse 2 – StreetDolls - Females]
We remember every spark,
Every broken piece of heart.
Every word you tried to hide
When the fire burned your pride.
We’re the whispers in the breeze,
Memories between the trees.
Not the shadows that you fight…
Just the ghosts that guard the night.
[Chorus – Everyone (Harmonized)]
Ghosts in the woods tonight,
Echo through the pines.
Every step you take to build again
Carries through our minds.
Ghosts in the woods still near,
But you don’t run from fear.
From the ashes to the sky…
You’re rebuilding something here.
[Eerie orchestral and Acoustic Guitar solo]
[Bridge (acoustic + cello)]
[ELI - Male]
Maybe the ghosts aren’t enemies.
Maybe they’re proof I survived.
[StreetDolls - Females]
Every scar…
Every flame…
Brought you back alive.
[Final Chorus (big cinematic lift)]
Ghosts in the woods tonight,
Singing through the pines.
Every beam you raise from the ashes now
Echoes through time.
Ghosts in the woods remain,
But they’re not the pain.
They’re the voices that remind you…
You survived the flames.
