The forest doesn't open paths
It closes around you
Drums echo through roots and bone
The ground listens

Night falls thick on the leaves
Six eyes burn inside the fire
Painted skin, shaking hands
Names rot on my tongue

Earth under nails
Smoke in the lungs
The cup comes back
Black
Bitter

Final

No chant for comfort
No song for peace
Only rhythm
Only teeth

Drink it down, Face it all
There's no coming back tonight
Break your name, Lose control
Dance with fear, stay alive

Roots crawl inside my chest
Veins learn a new language
Serpents speak with my voice
Memories sweat and crawl

I vomit fathers
I spit gods
I choke on promises
I once swallowed whole

Trees lean closer
Breathing slow
They don't judge
They know

Ancient eyes, No mercy
No forgiveness
No disguise
They don't ask who I am
They show me What survived

Drink it down, Face it all
There's no coming back tonight
Break your name, Lose control
Dance with fear, stay alive

Drums cut the night open
Heartbeat out of time
Jaguar breath on my neck
Mud on my spine
I face the ones I fed
The fears I called spirits
The lies I dressed as faith
The love I let rot
They don't leave
They circle

I walk through myself
Barefoot
Bleeding
Every demon
Wearing my face

The forest does not punish
It reflects
There is no cure
Only passage

Drink it down, I can't breathe
There's no skin left on my fear
Break my name, Strip me raw
Make it real, make it clear
Hold me here, Don't let go
If I run, I disappear
Burn me through Leave the bones
If I live, let it be sincere

Dawn bleeds through the trees
Ash on my face
Mud on my chest
Not healed, not saved
But back, laughing
Crying, still shaking

This was not salvation
This was survival
This was a night to remember
