The Path Beyond the Fence

[No humming] [No vocalizations] [Verse 1] We found it past the fence Where the trees grow thin and bent Names carved into broken wood Like they never really left Little shoes in shallow dirt Rust and plastic, buried hurt Wind cuts through without a sound But it feels too loud somehow [Pre-Chorus] You said it's just a place Kids go to say goodbye But the way you looked away Said something wasn’t right [Chorus] Just beyond the fence, where the dead things lay Where the roots run black and the soil won’t stay You can feel it pull when you get too close Like it knows your name… like it wants you most There’s a line right here you don’t step through Where the ground gives back… but it’s not the truth Just beyond the fence… something moves… [Verse 2] Crooked crosses leaning in Like they’re listening again Every step feels out of place Like we’re standing where we shouldn’t stand Air goes cold without a breeze Something shifts between the trees There’s a deeper path ahead But it’s better left unseen [Pre-Chorus] You laughed and brushed it off Said “it’s nothing, just a place” But your voice didn’t land right And I felt it in the space [Chorus] Just beyond the fence, where the dead things lay Where the roots run black and the soil won’t stay You can feel it pull when you get too close Like it knows your name… like it wants you most There’s a line right here you don’t step through Where the ground gives back… but it’s not the truth Just beyond the fence… something moves… [Bridge] Don’t go past the line Don’t turn back this time There’s a weight beneath the ground It don’t sleep It don’t forget And it hasn’t let us go yet [Final Chorus] Just beyond the fence, something waits below Where the roots run deep where the dark things grow You can feel it pull when you turn away Like it’s calling you… like it wants you to stay There’s a line you cross you can’t undo And it follows you when it follows through Just beyond the fence… it remembers you… [Outro] Don’t go past the fence…
