Where the Fox Walks, the Wolf Follows

[Intro - female, shakuhachi + wind] Footsteps on a broken road Two shadows where one should go Wind don’t lie but it don’t explain Why they walk in the same refrain [Verse 1 - male singer] I don’t stay where the lanterns burn Don’t ask names, I don’t return Steel speaks clean, the rest is noise Ghosts and gods are tricks and ploys Road is long, and I walk alone Every debt already known But something changed I didn’t choose Now every path is split in two [Verse 2 - Female Singer] You walk like fate is at your heels Like every truth is something sealed You say alone, but I can see You’re not as free as you pretend to be I’ve seen roads that twist and grin Heard the lies beneath your skin You don’t chase, no, you’re chased through And now it’s very fun, there’s two [Pre-Chorus - male and female alternate lines] [Male] Something follows, I can feel [Female] Something watches, something real [Male] Cut it down and end it clean [Female] Or let it breathe, and see what it means [Chorus - male and female duet] We are bound by the road we take Step for step, every choice we fake If you run, then I run too If it finds me, it finds you Shadow hunts what we became Not for blood, but for a name Two halves walking something through If it breaks me, it breaks you [Verse 3 - Male] There’s a voice in the quiet space Wears no form, but knows their pace Feeds on doubt, on what won’t heal Marks the bond it cannot steal Villages burn without a flame Men turn wild and none can name What it is that stains the air Just that something, has been there [Bridge - Female] Tell me wolf, if I let go Would you finally walk alone? Or would the dark that dogs your trail Wear your face when you exhale? I could leave, I won’t, it’s true Not because I’m tied to you But because I like the view When the world bends out of blue [Bridge Response - Male] If you’re chaos, then stay close Better known than what I don’t If it comes, then let it see It won’t take what’s left of me [Final Chorus - Male and Female Duet] We are bound by the road we take No clean cut, no clean break If it calls, we answer through If it hunts me, it hunts you No more “alone,” no more disguise Truth walks close in borrowed eyes Two shadows cut the world in two If it ends me, it ends you [Outro - soft, female] Bamboo bends but never speaks Foxfire dances in between Wolf walks on and does not turn Some roads bind, and some just burn Bamboo bends but never speaks Foxfire dances in between Wolf walks on and does not turn Some roads bind… and some just burn
