Lyrics

Don't call for me I'll disappear
Footfalls near
The trees don't ask where I've been
Their roots are kin
Shadows wear your shape
Broken branches sing
Instinct of survival
Prey don't leave a trace
The clearing's safe I never stay
Always run away
This creek runs deep without a sound
I've worn it down
Shadows wear your shape
Broken branches sing
Instinct of survival
Prey don't leave a trace
Little deer
How many quiet departures does it take
Before the trees begin to expect you?
Before the grass forgets how to stand
Before the creek carries your reflection farther than your name
Before the branches part without being asked
I don't think the forest taught you to run
It only remembered where you always went
One frightened step became another
Until leaving stopped being a choice
And became the only way you knew how to exist
Shadows wear your shape
Broken branches sing
Instinct of survival
Prey don't leave a trace
