Shadows in the Pines

[Verse]
I walked alone where the shadows grow tall
The trees whispered secrets
I heard them all
A chill in the air
It felt like a call

[Prechorus]
Every step weighed heavy
Every breath was thin
I chased a fading echo
But it wouldn't let me in

[Chorus]
Oh shadows in the pines
They know my name
They hum my sorrow
They sing my shame
Oh shadows in the pines
They call
They stay
A haunting song that won't fade away

[Verse 2]
A crow on a branch
It tilted its head
Eyes like the night
Where all my fears are fed
It cawed once
Twice
Like words unsaid

[Chorus]
Oh shadows in the pines
They know my name
They hum my sorrow
They sing my shame
Oh shadows in the pines
They call
They stay
A haunting song that won't fade away

[Bridge]
If I close my eyes
Will they still be near
If I scream to the sky
Will they even hear
The roots hold tight
The ground won’t clear
