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
