[Verse 1] We crossed the county line at dusk, Sky bleeding out in rust and dust A quiet town, a vacant stare, Like something’s buried in the air The tires hummed a hollow tune, Beneath a dying August moon And every mile felt out of place, Like we were trespassing on space [Pre-Chorus] No one said it out loud But I felt it in my chest Like the trees were leaning in Like they knew the rest [Chorus] There’s something wrong on Deadfall Road You feel it deep down in your bones No warning signs, no turning back Just empty space and something black And I can’t shake the weight it holds Like it’s calling through the cold We just arrived, but I already know… Something’s wrong on Deadfall Road [Verse 2] A house that doesn’t feel like home, A silence carved into the stone The wind don’t move, the birds don’t sing, Like time forgot this place exists A truck flew past like it can’t stop, Just blurred rage on a ticking clock And in the distance, barely seen, A line of trees… too still… too clean [Pre-Chorus] You smiled just to ease the air Said “it’s nothing, we’re okay” But the way your voice broke thin… Gave the truth away [Chorus] There’s something wrong on Deadfall Road You feel it deep down in your bones No warning signs, no turning back Just empty space and something black And I can’t shake the weight it holds Like it’s calling through the cold We just arrived, but I already know… Something’s wrong on Deadfall Road [Bridge] (slightly heavier, tension builds) Every shadow’s standing still Every silence feels too real Like the ground beneath our feet Doesn’t want us here at all There’s a path behind the trees… I swear it’s staring back at me… [Final Chorus] (bigger, more emotional punch) There’s something wrong on Deadfall Road It’s in the air, it’s in the cold It’s in the space between our words In every silence left unheard And I can’t shake the weight it holds Like it’s carved into my soul We just arrived… but I already know… We should’ve never come down Deadfall Road [Outro] (soft, eerie) (whispered / restrained) There’s something wrong… There’s something wrong…
