[Chords: Dm9 - Bbmaj7#11 - Gm11 - A7alt. Modal shifts, unsettling but beautiful harmony.] [Intro: Dry, mechanical nylon guitar pattern. Total silence between notes. Pulsing heartbeat.] [Verse 1: [Straight tone] [Clear articulation] [Deliberate] [Posh accent]] Through... The... Forest. The... Leaves... Fall. I... Taste... The... Earth. Where... Life... Begins. And... It... All... Ends. [Verse 2: [Controlled] [Stable pitch] [Crisp consonants]] Drops... Of... Water... Fall. Down... To... Earth. I... Can... Taste it. The... Water. The... Dirt. The... Wandering... Dreams. [Pre-Chorus: [Steady growth] [Widening soundstage] [No vibrato]] The trees. Larger... Then... Life. That... I... Will... Live. The old... stories. The truths... beneath them. [Chorus: [Powerful but stable] [Controlled chest voice] [Oxford-English diction]] And... The... SUN! Touches... My... Hair. The warmth... on my face. I grow... and grow. From... a seed. I will grow... and grow. And see... the light! In my eyes... (My. Eyes.) There will be... light! In my eyes... My eyes. [Outro: [Fading with precise diction] [Straight tone whisper] [Receding Bbmaj7#11]] The trees. Larger... then... life. That... I... will... live. There will be... light. In my eyes. The forest. The forest. [End]
