[Intro] Crash in the trees, what a view, what a day Woke up upside down, where my snacks, where my plane Got a lighter and a book that says survive Page one says breathe, I am barely alive [Verse] Chopping little sticks with professional grace Built a tiny hut with a leaf for a base Hear a giggle in the bushes at night Tell myself it is a raccoon, yeah right Inventory full of rocks and fear Press the wrong key, drop my spear Try to cook meat, set fire to grass Now the forest cooking me, that escalated fast [Pre-Chorus] Hungry, thirsty, covered in mud Blueprint mansion made of sticks and hope and blood I am king of this land, self-proclaimed Till a painted guy shows up and I am renamed prey [Chorus] I am a rookie in The Forest Swinging sticks like I endorse it Built a wall that looks enormous Cannibals just jump and ignore it I scream tactical retreat Trip on logs and bare feet Brave in daytime, at night I forfeit I am a rookie in The Forest [Verse] Found a cave, thought loot and fame Five steps in, regret my name Echo says hello, something moves I invent new parkour moves Crafted armor made of bone Feel like boss, not alone Turn the corner, see a mutant Press every button, none are fluent [Bridge] Cartoony courage in my chest Singing while I am mildly stressed Building traps with zero clue Catch myself more than they do Rain is pouring, fire is out Talking to a turtle about my doubts Dear Mr Turtle, got advice He just blinks and pays no price [Chorus] I am a rookie in The Forest Optimistic and euphoric Got a raft, it is historic Sharks say welcome, how poetic Base looks cute from far away Up close it is a buffet I whisper please do not swarm us I am a rookie in The Forest [Breakdown] Chop chop chop till stamina drops Drink soda like it never stops Son is missing, plot is deep But first I need some better sleep [Final Chorus] I am a rookie in The Forest Still alive, that is the chorus Covered head to toe in foliage Survival by chaotic storage One day I will look heroic Right now I am mostly stoic If I make it, write my memoirist Rookie legend of The Forest
