Fox-Hearted Girl

japanese folk, melancholic koto, biwa, young female vocals, high pitched voice, reverse effect, lo-fi beat, glitch, new age, mastered, clean

[Verse 1]
Blue moon hums in a sky like glass,
steps so slow through the silver grass.
foxfire coils at the hem of her sleeve,
Breath like frost, and she won’t grieve.

Stillblood vows in a whisper sworn,
tail cut clean where the heart was torn.
Essence flickers in veinfire light,
what she lost made her sharp as knife.

(knife...knife... sharp as knife)

[Verse 2]
Climbed through silkfog, soft as thread,
thoughts like drums in a paper head.
Stone gate cracked where the cold wind rends,
power bends but it never mends.

Fluorescence hid all the ache she’d grown,
Eyes like glass and a voice like bone.
No more dreams, no tethered flame,
[Instrumental break]
she gave up love, but kept her name.

[Chorus]
I shed my fur, I shed my skin,
Left that fire where dreams begin.
Cut my heart from the shape of a tail,
all for strength, and none for shame.

One tail lost, but the path was mine,
tied to frost and the mountain spine.
Start me over ‘neath the blue moon’s gaze.
Cold and clean in the quiet haze.

[Hook]
Ooooh-ah..ah... 
Ooh la da da (da da da) 
Ooooh-ah...ahhh 
Ooh la da da (da da da)

[Verse 3]
Small weakened child with little to her name 
Her fragile form truly was a shame 
Unsure of if she'd live another day
The girl kept on moving anyway 
Under the cold of the midnight stars 
She saw the tail shine from afar (now she would live on)

[Verse 4]
The tail which had once been all alone 
Waiting for a new place to call home 
In nine where it once had warmth 
Now felt the warmth of a weak girl's arms 
It's fur full of dirt was now quite clean 
Forming with her, it became serene 
(It was where it was meant to be)

[Chorus]
I shed my fur, I shed my skin,
Left that fire where dreams begin.
Cut my heart from the shape of a tail,
all for strength, and none for shame.

One tail lost, but the path was mine,
tied to frost and the mountain spine.
Start me over ‘neath the wax moon’s gaze.
Cold and clean in the quiet haze.

[Verse 5]
She crossed the vale where the dreamers drown,
Smoke on her breath, and her ears pinned down.
Through shrinefire ash and willow bone,
She tracked the pulse that matched her own.

Foxfire stirred in the windblow lush,
Drawn to the girl in a house of hush.
One tail called, and the silence broke;
A name returned in the scent of smoke.

[Verse 6]
“I've come to claim what once was mine;
That tail you wear, that heart of strife.”
Her voice, a blade in a velvet sheath,
Laced with frost and ghostlight teeth.

"You’re not my kin. You’re not my kin.
You hold my soul beneath your skin.
Give it back, or break instead;
I need what's lost to raise my head.”

[Chorus]
I came for fire, I came for flame,
To take back blood and speak my name.
I crossed the dusk, I broke the seal,
Beneath the red moon, I came to feel.

But one tail lost is one heart found,
It beats in you with every sound.
The red moon burns, but doesn’t lie,
You are the reason that I cry.

[Bridge]
I raised my claws to take you back,
One strike to end what I now lack.
The fire surged, the silence split,
But why did sorrow follow it?

I gave up pain to never bend,
No love, no fear, no need to mend.
So why does loss begin to choke.
The heart I lost... still somehow spoke.

[Verse 7]
I've found where my strength is needed 
Please do not try to defeat it 
I wish to stay by the young girl's side
I will not allow her to die 
Take back your claws 
Let me be free 
This sadness will be temporary 
I taught the girl, the song you once sung 
Under this red moon, rebirth begun

[Final Verse]
Come back, my tail, my flame, my kin,
To not be torn, but held within.
No longer mine to take or bind,
You chose a soul, and I won’t decline.

The girl you found is now my own,
In her small hands, my heart has grown.
So let the red moon see what’s done,
She is my blood. We are one.
