Roots Pull Us In

Drop

Deep in the green where the signal dies

The old growth hums and it hypnotizes

Verse 1

Roots curl under my shoes tonight

Pine and stone got a grip so tight

Moonlight splits the fog in two

Something ancient is watching you

I marked a tree with a broken blade

Traded my name for the debt I paid

The giant turns but it won't speak

Its silence hits like a bass drum beat

Pre-Chorus

Feel the pulse under the moss

Ground is breathing we are lost

One more step one more sign

Now the whole woods come alive

Chorus

Hey let the forest wake

Let the deep roots carry us

Hey let the marker burn

Where the trail ends we begin

Low end drops and it shakes the pines

Something answers in the pines

Runestones glow and they cut the dark

One drum one step one spark

Drop

Boom boom boom

Hey

Boom boom boom

Roots they pull us in

Verse 2

Ain't no gold and ain't no throne

Just the timber and a thousand bones

Old bark counted kings and flames

Wars and fires and forgotten names

Pebbles chatter underneath my heels

Night birds circle on silent wheels

When the shadow lifts its eyes

I know I stepped across the line

Bridge

Quiet

Only wind on the wire

One breath

One sign

Build

Three

Two

One

Drop

Chorus

Hey let the forest wake

Let the deep roots carry us

Hey let the marker burn

Where the trail ends we begin

Let the drums pound let the sap run hot

Let the guardian rise from the dark

Runestones glow and they cut the dark

One drum one step one spark

Outro

And when the final tone goes still

The woods remember I was here

Not everyone who walks the shade

Wants a road back

Sometimes the road chooses us

Boom

Then nothing
