The Forest

Verse 1

I’ve been walking where the trees don’t speak

Shadows breathing, tangled at my feet

Every step feels heavier than stone

Heart like glass, but I’m still moving on

Branches clawing at my skin like doubt

Whispers telling me to turn around

I forgot what daylight used to feel

Started thinking hope was never real

Pre-Chorus

But something flickers in the black

A pulse I thought I lost comes back

I hear it calling through the noise

A quiet but defiant voice

Chorus

I see the light at the end of the tunnel

Burning through the dark I’ve been under

I was drowning in the silence, broken

Now the night is finally cracking open

I was lost in the woods of my mind

Chasing ghosts, leaving truth behind

But I’m running toward what I couldn’t see

The light is finding me

Verse 2

Moonlight dripping through the leaves

Like a promise I forgot to keep

Every scar I tried to hide

Starts to glow when I stop running blind

Fear still echoes, but it’s weak

Can’t control the air I breathe

I don’t need to know the end

Just enough to take one step again

Pre-Chorus

My hands are shaking, but I stand

I’m done obeying who I was

This pain didn’t bury me

It carved a way for me to breathe

Chorus

I see the light at the end of the tunnel

Cutting through the dark I’ve been under

I was screaming into nothing, frozen

Now the night is finally breaking open

I was lost in the woods of my soul

Every wrong turn took its toll

But I’m closer than I’ve ever been

The light is pulling me in

Bridge (Drop / Ambient Break)

808 heartbeat in my chest

I survived what I thought would end me

If this is fire, let it burn

I’m not afraid of the hurt anymore

I don’t need saving

I found it myself

In the ruins

I became the help

Final Chorus

I see the light at the end of the tunnel

Not a miracle, just me becoming stronger

I walked through the dark to discover

I was the spark hiding under

I was never as lost as it seemed

Just buried under shattered dreams

Now I’m standing where the shadows flee

The light was always in me

Outro

Still in the forest

But I know the way

Even in darkness

I’ll be okay
