Daughter Of The Hunt And Night

[Verse 1]
Born in a break
In her silver-heart guard
Just one missed arrow
One step too far
Left in the thicket
Where cold dew clung
Half feral
Half fragile
Too quiet
Too young
[Chorus]
I am the daughter of the hunt and night
Shaking at shadows
Searching for light
Never meant to be
Never meant to stay
I am the daughter of a vow undone
Afraid of the dark and the way they run
Please
When you leave
Look back my way
[Verse 2]
Moon on my shoulders
But not in my bones
I track every footprint
Afraid of my own
They bless every arrow
They braid every prayer
But I see their glances
Like I'm not really there
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
They say I'm her echo
An error in skin
A story she started
Then buried within
If I'm just a moment
She wished she could hide
Why does it hurt
So much to survive?
[Chorus]

folk, Sparse fingerpicked folk with intimate female vocals right up on the mic, breaths audible. Soft upright bass and brushed percussion easing in on the first chorus. Verses stay hushed and confessional; choruses bloom with stacked harmonies and a faint organ pad, ending on a fragile, unresolved cadence that leaves space and ache., emo
