Blood on the roots

Verse 1:

Roots grip like hands, pulling me down

The forest laughs, wearing a crown

Bones break the soil, eyes in the bark

Every step forward, I lose the spark

Pre-Chorus:

Whispers sharpen, slicing the night

I try to run, but vanish from sight

The wind carries voices, lost and obscene

Something waits where I’ve never been

Chorus:

Blood on the roots, the earth drinks deep

The forest never forgets what it keeps

Shadows coil, hunger in their veins

I’m just another name in its chains

Verse 2:

Twisted trees twist my mind

Echoes of those left behind

A clawed hand reaches from the mud

I stumble through a river of blood

Bridge:

The forest bleeds, the forest moans

I hear the cracking of ancient bones

No light breaks this suffocating dome

I am the prey, and it is home

Chorus (repeat):

Blood on the roots, the earth drinks deep

The forest never forgets what it keeps

Shadows coil, hunger in their veins

I’m just another name in its chains

Outro:

The roots pull tighter, the night grows old

The forest whispers my story untold

Every step sinks me more than before

Blood on the roots, I can’t ignore
