[Verse 1] In my shadow I stalk so low Pushed down where the dark woods grow Stretched out farther than eyes can see A little piece that mimics me Where the dark woods breathe and blow I sink in deep, then deeper go Do you shun the light? Eyes strain, full of fright Trying to find me in the black of night [Pre-Chorus] All I know now: there’s no turning back You feel the crunch of leaves in the black You feel your fear begin to grow With every careful step you know [Chorus] Crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch— little footsteps in a bunch You wish for silence, wish for quiet While your heartbeat starts a riot Thump-thump, thump-thump, thump-thump— Feel your heart jump, jump, jump [Verse 2] A little quicker, it begins to race Cold sweat tracing down your face “What was that?”—you hear a skitter Rustling leaves or a small woodland critter The woods go still; no wind, no sound That’s where the fear comes closing round Your face pulls tight, your brows draw down And all your thoughts begin to drown [Pre-Chorus] All I know now: there’s no turning back You feel the crunch of leaves in the black You feel your fear begin to grow With every careful step you know [Chorus] Crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch— little footsteps in a bunch You wish for silence, wish for quiet While your heartbeat starts a riot Thump-thump, thump-thump, thump-thump— Feel your heart jump, jump, jump [Bridge] Now you feel it touch your thigh Your throat draws tight; you try to cry No one here to hear you scream It feels like waking in a bad dream The night keeps calling, pulling through— Your time is up. It’s overdue No way back, no way back Feel it closing on your track [Final Chorus] Crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch— little footsteps in a bunch You wish for silence, wish for quiet While your heartbeat starts a riot Thump-thump, thump-thump, thump-thump— Feel your heart jump, jump, jump [Outro] Crunch, crunch— Crunch, crunch— Thu-thump— thu-thump— Thu-thump— Feel your heart ju-ju-jump— The night keeps calling, pulling through Your time is up. It’s overdue
