The Woods

[Verse 1] Twig crack I coulda sworn I felt breath on my neck It could be paranoia, or best yet A couple hands to hold ya And footsteps No, don’t look yet [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] “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 that I’d nevеr choose to Do I dare chase thе devil down? I’m hooked on you, the woods [Verse 2] 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 [Pre-Chorus] I better go, don’t wanna be late For what could be magic, misery take more of me I’ll give him everything Savor, sin, and safeguard [Chorus] “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 that I’d never choose to Do I dare chase the devil down? I’m hooked on you, the woods
