The Woods

Twig crack

I coulda sworn I felt breath on my neck

It could be paranoia, or best yet

A couple hands to hold, yeah

And footsteps

No, don't like it

Whispers

Is it the wind with no one to listen?

Or is it him behind me with blisters?

All on his hands from knives in the kitchen

Bet he missed this

"Don't be scared

Nobody can find us here", he says, "my dear"

I don't care

Crawling miles through the woods, for you I would

I can't put up barriers the way that I'm used to

When he tells me I could leave, he knows, but I'd never choose to

Do I dare chase the Devil down?

I'm hooked, on you, the woods

I couldn't leave it, that letter in blood

I saw it by the staircase buried under dust

I rip it open, read it and how could I go

His invitation, four AM, he knows I'll show

I better go, don't wanna be late

For what could be magic makes it retake more of me

I'll give him everything

Savior, sin and safeguard

"Don't be scared

Nobody can find us here", he says, "my dear"

I don't care

Crawling miles through the woods, for you I would

I can't put up barriers the way that I'm used to

When he tells me I could leave, he knows, but I'd never choose to

Do I dare chase the Devil down?

I'm hooked, on you, the woods
