got turned around
now i'm lost and nowhere to be found
i'm all alone in the woods
and
i heard a noise
is it in my head or are they following me
not as alone as i thought
no
Cutie void ghostie
I found a diary belonging to my grandfather. It told stories of magical beings that lived in the forest, who only appeared at dusk just before the full moon. He didn't know what those things were or why they were there, he only documented their existence.
Tonight's a full moon. I'm going into the forest.
Chop chop your head got lopped.

About 80% from scratch.
In the secret forest
Hidden behind the tree
Dark thoughts seek salvation
They’re hiding inside me
The haunting spirits scurry
Their tiny moments, free
Rest, my heart, beats slowly
Unleash the truth, control me!
Deep thoughts rest inside my head
Lives rent free in my mind
Impulsive urges rack my heart
Causing my eyes to bleed dark
My body gives nothing a break
I want to be what you’ve become
If I can’t be what you are
Then I’ll take all of you away
I wish this was a two-hour one. Finally found my sound 38 mins in and would've loved to develop this more.
Ragweed has ruined my voice. Just guitar tonight.
Trees sway on these darkened grounds
Beasts stay afraid
Keep safe and don’t get found
Please stay away
Standing on broken ground
These days the echoes tell of
Reawakened flames
Freeze frames of shadows found
Tree stained and aged
Phaseshift the disturbances evade detection
Glossy inside the infrared
Speak quiet til the windstorm clears the infection
Silently await dawn’s arrest
Are they flashlights are they cat eyes are they cryptid standby’s
Patiently seeking out revenge
Better pack light, better run from last night
And leave these woods again
[verse]
In the little wood, a shadow creeping
Not as quaint as you had thought it seeming
Take a step and through the mud and mosses
Hopefully the trip is worth the losses
Friends and foes along the way were taken
By the darkened forces, all awakened
When you dared to go across the threshold
Was the price you paid, and had to let go
[chorus]
and so it goes, a blackened path
Right here, without a soul intact
A crackle, such a stirring sound
Your heart can stop and not be found
[verse]
Not for long, you're not alone in this night
Other patrons rise up in the moonlight
They were caught as you will be in moments
You will join them, and forever I will mourn it
