[Verse]
Roots in the ground so deep so tight
Reaching for the sun
Holding the night
But time moves slow
And the cracks run wide
What holds me now? What’s left inside
[Chorus]
Falling in the quiet
No one hears the sound
A whisper to the void
Where no one’s around
Does it matter
Do I matter
When I hit the ground
Falling in the quiet
Swallowed by the bound
[Verse 2]
Leaves turned brittle
Like stories untold
Bark peeling back
Memories grow cold
The wind used to sing
Now it just takes
I stand
I sway
I break
[Prechorus]
No hands to catch me
No roots to mend
No beginning here
Just an aching end
[Chorus]
Falling in the quiet
No one hears the sound
A whisper to the void
Where no one’s around
Does it matter
Do I matter
When I hit the ground
Falling in the quiet
Swallowed by the bound
[Bridge]
Sap runs dry
My heartwood exposed
The forest forgets
The cycle enclosed
But I dream of a hand
Reaching through time
Pulling me back
Calling me mine
