[Verse] Adam walks the elmwood trail Shadows in the mist Searching for a trace of Zoey The girl who slipped his fist Friends whisper warnings Say trust no man Enemies lurk in daylight Unseen in their plan [Chorus] Elmwood whispers secrets Hidden in its veil Trust no phone or friendly face Follow the unseen trail Trust no one For night’s dark hand Will guide you to a mystery Lost in shifting sand [Verse 2] Dialed numbers Hollow echoes Voices twisted tongues Answers drip like water from the car wash of the young Twilight’s heart beats softly A rhythm hard to see Beyond the tangled pathways Where dark truth ought to be [Chorus] Elmwood whispers secrets Hidden in its veil Trust no phone or friendly face Follow the unseen trail Trust no one For night’s dark hand Will guide you to a mystery Lost in shifting sand [Bridge] Enemies dressed as old friends Lies in their embrace Finding Zoey’s shadow means losing one’s own face Footsteps in the underbrush Whispers overhead Adam chases phantoms The living and the dead [Verse 3] In the woods The gypsy told him “Look into your heart ” Adam saw the fragments of a ghost played in parts A hook that once held peace now industrial silence sways Under bent branches Secrets weave a haze
