Darkness through the trees

The trees know my name and they follow me home

Their branches like fingers that scrape at my bones

I run through the black but the black seems to grow

There is nowhere to hide when my mind seems to know

The roots grab my ankles and pull at my feet

The shadows keep whispering that I should concede

My lungs fill with darkness my chest fills with dread

And terrible thoughts make a home in my head

I scream without sound as the forest draws near

Every tree wears the face of another old fear

I run until blood seems to burn through my veins

But wherever I turn I am followed by pain

The moon disappears and the stars seem to die

I stare through the branches and silently cry

My mind builds a coffin from everything said

Then begs me to climb in and silence my head

But somewhere beneath all the rot and the rain

A heartbeat still fights through the weight of the pain

I cannot see daylight or swear it is near

I only know somehow I am still fucking here
