[Verse] The path winds quiet Beneath the pines A whisper hums through crooked lines Each step a murmur Each moment a tone The woods don't care what I have done [Chorus] Through the pines Through the pines Where sunlight fades to distant sighs I leave my name Leave my fight Through the pines I find the night [Verse 2] A crow calls sharp from a brittle limb Shadows stretch And the light grows dim The air is thick with the weight of time A clock that ticks without a chime [Prechorus] I ask the earth "Do you feel it too?" It whispers back in morning dew [Chorus] Through the pines Through the pines Where the sun forgets to shine I leave my name Leave my fight Through the pines I find the night [Bridge] Roots chant deep They rise They fall I answer to their call No map can chart where dreams infuse In tangled woods I make my muse
