[Intro] No sunlight reaches here. Still, I know where the rain fell. [Verse 1] A root opens. Something enters. Carbon moves through a living thread too small to see. I don't know the oak. I don't know the pine. I know the pressure. I know the exchange. I know what passes between them. [Pre-Chorus] Above me, every trunk stands alone. Down here, distance works differently. [Chorus] There is no empty ground between the trees. Something comes. Something leaves. Water moves. Carbon moves. Root to thread. Thread to root. You see the distance. I feel what passes through. [Verse 2] Three meters east, the chemistry changes. Damp earth. Fine roots. A tree under shadow takes less light. Another has more. Nothing speaks. No voice. No words. Only changes moving through the dark. [Pre-Chorus] A beetle finds bark. A leaf is wounded. Something changes below. By the time you see the branches, I've already felt it in the roots. [Chorus] There is no empty ground between the trees. Something comes. Something leaves. Root to thread. Thread to root. Not a language like yours. Not silence either. You see the distance. I feel what passes through. [Bridge] You thought the tree ended at the tree. Trunk. Branch. Leaf. Root. You drew a line around the living thing. Then the root met fungus. The fungus met another root. And the line wouldn't hold. [Final Verse] Long before you gave it a name, you stood above us listening to wind move through the pine. You heard something. You just looked in the wrong direction. [Final Chorus] There is no empty ground between the trees. Something comes. Something leaves. Not one mind. Not one voice. Exchange. Response. Dependency. You see the forest. I feel what passes through. [Outro] No sunlight reaches here. Still, I know where the rain fell. And somewhere beyond this tree, another root changes.
