Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Bare feet in the moss

Mud on my dress

Not a care

I named every fox in the forest

Thought the world stopped at the trees out there

You watched from the branches

Silver eyes in the leaves

I swear

I just thought you were a story

Someone’s old campfire prayer

[Chorus]

I never asked to carry your bow

To wear your name like heavy armor

I was just a child chasing shadows

Now every shadow’s getting darker

You call me “daughter” like a blessing

But it sounds like a command

I never asked to be a hero

With an arrow in my empty hands

[Verse 2]

We were three in the doorway

Sharing socks

Stealing bread

Drew constellations on the ceiling

So the stars could guard our bed

Then the thunder came early

They were gone by the morning light

All that stayed was your cold whisper

“Come and learn how to survive”

[Chorus]

[Bridge]

You say “Aim for the heart”

I say “I’m still finding mine”

You say “Run toward the fire”

I’m just learning how to climb

Up from the ashes of their faces

Names I mouth but never say

If I win

I stand here lonely

If I fall

I fade away

[Chorus]

Prompt

Female, folk, emo. A song of a little girl. Daughter of Artemis who never knew she was a demigod who lost her siblings and was forced to become a demigod, a hero she didn’t want to be. To fight.
