[Verse 1]
[Em]Tiptoe on a tightrope trail through [C]timber, midnight microdose
[G]Branches like they autograph the [D]sky with shadow, spiral strokes
[Em]Heart is doing parkour in my [C]chest, it skips, then triple-steps
[G]Every cricket’s spitting riddles, [D]rhythm in the thistle beds
[Em]Moon is spilling silver on the [C]dirt like loose change on a bet
[G]Owls are side-eye interviewers, [D]judging every move I sweat
[Em]Wind is whispering conspiracy [C]theories with the leaves
[G]Like, “You ain’t here for cardio, [D]you’re chasing who you used to be”
[Pre-Chorus]
[Am]I ain’t sure what [C]dragged me out, I just [G]had to hear this haunt
[D]Forest got my [Em]history in its [C]fist like something it wants
[Am]Every root is [C]rumor, every [G]stone a subtle clue
[D]Somewhere in these [Em]shadows is the [C]version that I outgrew
[Chorus]
[Em]So I walk, and I [C]walk through the black between the [G]trees
Dodging [D]memories like low branches swinging [Em]right past my beliefs
Every [C]footstep feels like punctuation [G]chasing down my lines
But the [D]plot keeps re-rewinding in my [Em]mind
I keep [C]calling out a name that I [G]never learned to say
’Cause it’s [D]less a person, more the ghost I [Em]chased away
So I [C]walk, and I walk till the [G]night peels thin
[D]Hunting for a door I can [Em]fall back in
[Verse 2]
[Em]Deeper where the path gets passive-[C]aggressive, starts to fade
[G]Sticks are spelling out my habits, [D]all my slip-ups in the clay
[Em]Spiderwebs are Wi-Fi cables [C]hooked up to my guilty thoughts
[G]Every thread’s a “what if,” [D]tangled into Gordian knots
[Em]Then I see this little cabin like a [C]memory went 3D
[G]Smoke spelling out speech bubbles, [D]cartoon comfort over me
[Em]There’s a welcome mat that’s laughing, [C]“Where you been, kid, take a seat?”
[G]Doorknob looking like a countdown [D]ticking underneath my feet
[Pre-Chorus]
[Am]I don’t know who’s [C]behind it, but the [G]air says, “This is yours”
[D]Every board is [Em]squeaking like it’s [C]heard this all before
[Am]Hand is hovering, [C]hovering, [G]hovering, no knock
[D]Whole forest holds its [Em]breath like it’s [C]waiting for the shock
[Chorus]
[Em]So I walk, and I [C]walk up the steps, edge of [G]light
With my [D]mouth full of apologies I [Em]never got right
Every [C]creak is like a confession, every [G]shadow underline
Of the [D]chapters I keep skipping in my [Em]mind
I keep [C]reaching for that handle like I’m [G]tuning some old chord
But my [D]fingers freeze mid-fret and cut the [Em]song off short
Yeah, I [C]stand, statue-still, on the [G]porch of “might”
[D]Balanced on the breath of [Em]midnight
[Bridge]
[Am]Then the floor glitches [C]out, pixels [G]scatter, screen goes white
[D]Moon folds up like [Em]paper, forest [C]crumples into light
[Am]Alarm clock doing [C]death metal on my [G]nightstand by my head
[D]Drag me out that [Em]wooded wonder, dump me [C]back into my bed
[Am]Ceiling cracks the [C]constellations, [G]traffic hums where rivers ran
[Chorus]
