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
