Ink Bleeds Backwards

Trap, Trapcore, Djent, Hyper Pop, Shoegaze, 70s Symphonic Synth Pop, Indiecore, Dream Pop

[Verse 1]
Porch light pools pale through the poplar's thin veil,
Journal's jaw unhinged, hinge-squeakin' the tale,
Ink bleeds backward like the brook's backward bail,
Your script from the summers, now silt in the shale.
Moss-mantled lanterns limp on the rail's ragged edge,
Nights needle-narrow, nippin' at the pledge,
Trawlin' that tether, taut in the sedge,
Pane catches profile, propped on the ledge.
[Pre-Chorus]
Ribs rake with rushes, reed-thin in the raw,
Enigmas embed, eatin' earth from the maw,
Whys willow-whip wild, wail without law,
Rovin' the ravines, rootless and raw.
[Chorus]
Oh-oh, foragin' the why in the wither we wove,
Dusks dovetail doubts, dovetailed in the cove,
Love's lichen-lit lure, low in the cove,
Purpose perches precarious, poised to reprove.
Prowlin' the perimeter, the patina we peel,
Doubts distill distillate, drippin' the deal,
Oh-oh, cradlin' the cinder in the crevice's appeal,
Meanin' mellows measured—it's the marrow we heal.
(Foragin'... foragin' the why, unwind...)
[Verse 2]
Hollow-log hollow where we hunkered for hush,
Your hum on the harmonica, hushed in the rush,
Now dulcimer dangles, dormant in the brush,
Knuckles knurl the knot of the kith we let crush.
Daybreak's doily drapes the door's drifted jamb,
Remnants resurface, ragged as the ram,
Baled the breakage, but the burrs still lamb,
Spirit's sycamore, sapped but unscammed.
[Pre-Chorus]
Ribs rake with rushes, reed-thin in the raw,
Enigmas embed, easin' earth from the maw,
Whys willow-whip willin', warmth weldin' the flaw,
Rovin' the rises, rooted in the draw.
[Chorus]
Oh-oh, foragin' the why in the wither we wove (yeah, we wove it thin),
Dusks dovetail doubts, dovetailed in the cove (dovetailed in),
Love's lichen-lit lure, low in the cove,
Purpose perches precarious, poised to reprove (poised to prove).
Prowlin' the perimeter, the patina we peel (patina we peel),
Doubts distill distillate, drippin' the deal,
Oh-oh, cradlin' the cinder in the crevice's appeal (cinder's appeal),
Meanin' mellows measured—it's the marrow we heal (oh, we heal it deep).
(Foragin'... foragin' the why, unwind...)
[Bridge]
What if the wound's the wander we winnowed from wood?
Shade-self shades the switch we withstood,
Breathe 'gainst the bramble, let the burr be withstood—
Splinters smolder subtle, we sway as we should.
[Final Chorus]
Oh-oh, foragin' the why, now it rills in the root (rills in the root),
Dusks disentangle, no tether to boot (no more boot),
Love's leafy ledger, lax from the fruit,
Purpose proliferates, pullin' purpose to boot.
No longer listless in the low we let lie,
Doubts draw daylight, dappled and spry,
Oh-oh, harvestin' harmony hitherto shy (hitherto shy),
Meanin' matures mended—it's me I supply.
(Foragin'... but foraged... oh-oh...)
(Fade: Supply... supply... breaths braid with the bough, trail to timber's vow.)
