Mycelium (The Forest Speaks Album: Track 2)

[Intro (droning guitar, floor tom pulse)] [Verse 1 (hypnotic, almost chanted)] Beneath the soil where no one sees Ancient highways between the trees She thought love lived on the surface, in the light But the real connection happens out of sight [Verse 2 (building subtle layers)] The mycelium knows every root by name Shares the water, shares the pain Invisible threads that hold the forest whole That's the kind of love that feeds the soul [Chorus (repetitive, mantra-like)] We're all connected underground In the silence, that's where truth is found What you can't see is what holds everything Underground, underground [Verse 3 (electric shimmer enters)] She wanted proof in words and grand gestures But love's not always something you can measure Like the mushrooms speaking tree to tree The deepest things exist in mystery [Chorus (building intensity)] We're all connected underground In the silence, that's where truth is found What you can't see is what holds everything Underground, underground [Bridge (sparse, breathy)] Miles apart but sharing Everything worth caring The forest taught me patience Taught me quiet relations [Instrumental Break (electric folk solo, floor tom steady)] [Chorus (fuller, resolved)] We're all connected underground In the silence, that's where truth is found What you can't see is what holds everything Underground, underground Underground, underground [Outro (fading drone, nature sounds)] Underground... where the real things grow... Underground... what she'll never know...
