[Vocal: Male tenor, 25 y/o, starts calm and low, grows anxious, then shouts. Clean with rasp on peaks.]
[Instrumental: Muffled beat with claps at intro, eerie synths, then heavy guitars and drums crash in for the chorus.]

[Intro — muffled beat, soft claps, eerie synth pad]
[tenor, low storytelling tone]
We went into the forest — my sister, and me,
With flashlights, some cigarettes, a rifle for free.
The woods gave us silence, the dark swallowed light,
I held her hand tighter… alone in the night.
[Sound effect — branch snapping]
[Scream echoes]
[tenor shout] RUN!
[Pause — silence one bar, inhale]
---
[Chorus — full band crashes in, sharp riff, driving drums]
I’m not sure what I saw — but it’s chasing us fast,
I can feel every breath — like a ghost from the past.
It is reaching for us with its hands open wide,
Why the fuck did we come to the forest tonight?
---
[Verse 2 — urgent beat, bass groove + tense guitar stabs]
Branches are breaking, we stumble, we fall,
Its shadow is growing, it follows us all.
The air becomes colder, it whispers my name,
This nightmare is real, and it’s never a game.
[Whisper layer under vocals: don’t look back… don’t look back…]
---
[Chorus — louder, guitars in sync, toms pounding]
I’m not sure what I saw — but it’s chasing us fast,
I can feel every breath — like a ghost from the past.
It is reaching for us with its hands open wide,
Why the fuck did we come to the forest tonight?
---
[Bridge — instruments drop to bass + claps, build tension]
[whisper] The forest is hungry, it never lets go…
[tenor scream] It’s deeper than hell and it wants what you know!
[Band slams back — distorted guitar riff, double-time drums]
---
[Final Chorus — maximum intensity, layered shouts + raw tenor]
I’m not sure what I saw — but it’s chasing us fast,
I can feel every breath — like a ghost from the past.
It is reaching for us with its hands open wide,
Why the fuck did we come to the forest tonight?
---
[Outro — instruments cut, only muffled claps fading]
[tenor whisper, trembling] Don’t… look… back…
