[Humming] Hmmmm Mmmm Mmmm Hmmmm Mmmm Mmmm [Spoken Word] Come closer now, don’t hold your breath, You crossed the line, you chose the depth. I hum because you’re nearly mine, Not as a trick, just keeping time. Don’t search for me, I don’t appear Where panic screams or danger’s clear. I stand where calm begins to bloom, Where fear grows tired and makes you room. You feel at ease, your shoulders drop, Your racing heart decides to stop. That isn’t safety, child, it’s reach The gentle edge of Hollowreach. [Humming] Hmmmm Mmmm Mmmm Hmmmm Mmmm Mmmm [Spoken Word] I do not run. I do not chase. I wait where roads forget their place. Each step you take feels soft, feels kind, The forest learns the shape of mind. Hum back to me, and hear it true: The woods will seal their doors on you. Paths will curl and hours will bend, Beginnings blur, there is no end. You’ll walk and walk, though legs decay, Not screaming, screaming fades away. Your skin will pale, your breath turn thin, Your voice forget what words have been. [Humming] Hmmmm Mmmm Mmmm Hmmmm Mmmm Mmmm [Spoken Word] You’ll leave behind what once was dear: A shoe, a name, a trace of fear. They’ll search and swear they almost found You circling hollow, hollow ground. And if I find you, lost and slow, If I decide it’s time you go, I won’t rend flesh or make a show That’s not my way, you ought to know. I’ll take your chest beneath my hand, One press , you’ll fall where you now stand. No pain. No cry. No fight within. Just stillness closing like a hymn. This isn’t threat, and not a lie, Not rage, nor hunger, nor reply. It’s what occurs when light runs thin And you step where you shouldn’t have been. So turn back now, if back exists. Stay silent, if silence still resists. But if you hear my humming hum Come in. Come in. You’re already home [Humming] Hmmmm Mmmm Mmmm Hmmmm Mmmm Mmmm
