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
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
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
