Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro] There once was a time when I walked as a man... [Verse] Branches breathe sideways, Calling my name. Roots break open Like they want my frame. Shadows slip inward, Close around my chest— Something in the timber Wants me as a guest. [Pre-Chorus] My pulse goes crooked, Like it’s not my own— The forest tastes fear And turns it into home. [Chorus] The woods close in when they smell your skin, But the deeper you run, the more you blend in. Bark bites gently, needles sink thin— I’m not just hunted… I’m starting to begin. [Verse] Branches lean closer, Whispering slow— Not with a threat, But a place to go. The ground shifts warm, Pulls me to my knees— Something ancestral Breathing through the leaves. [Pre-Chorus] My bones feel hollow, Filled with crawling light— The woods don’t want prey, They want a new knight. [Chorus] The woods close in when they taste your fear, But the moment you yield, they draw you near. Vines pulse warmer than human skin— And the forest decides what’s ready to join in. [Bridge] Teeth like splinters, Tongues of moss— They show me every Human loss. “Stop running,” they murmur, “Stop fearing your kind— We eat what’s wicked, But you… you align.” My breath turns earthy, Eyes burning bright— The forest doesn’t hunt me— It’s giving me sight. [Verse] I rise much taller, Bark on my spine, Hands turned branches Hooked into vine. The monsters that chased me Bow as they grin— The woods don’t devour— They welcome me in. [Chorus] The woods close in when they feel your call, Tearing back the veil between man and all. I’m not the victim the legends spin— I am the hunger that moves through the wind. [Guitar Solo] [Final Chorus] The woods close in but they’re not my end, They carved out my fear and made it a friend. Now runners who enter hear branches begin— Because I am the shadow that pulls them in.
