The road Remembers

[Verse 1] There’s a whisper in the orchard, Low and cold beneath the trees, Every branch a hanging question, Every wind a memory. Footsteps fade, but echoes linger, Shadows crawl where light once lay, I tried to leave that road behind me, But it finds me anyway. [Chorus] The road remembers every name, Every voice, every flame. You can run, you can pray, But the hollow never fades away. The mirror cracks, the map unfolds, The truth is buried deep and old. You can hide from all you know— But the road remembers. [Verse 2] I’ve seen faces in the smoke, And heard laughter through the storm, A thousand ghosts in borrowed bodies, Wearing hearts that aren’t their own. If you listen, it will take you, If you speak, it speaks your sin, And when you think you’ve reached the ending, That’s where it begins. [Chorus] The road remembers every name, Every voice, every flame. You can run, you can pray, But the hollow never fades away. The mirror cracks, the map unfolds, The truth is buried deep and old. You can hide from all you know— But the road remembers. [Bridge] Underneath the orchard’s floor, A tunnel breathes, a hidden door. The Seventh Circle calls my name, And nothing’s ever quite the same. You can’t escape the eyes that see, The watcher waits beneath the trees… [Final Chorus] The road remembers every name, Every voice, every flame. You can run, you can pray, But the echoes never fade away. The map was written in your bones, The mirror shows you’re not alone— Step inside, the end will grow… The road remembers. [Outro] (softly) The road remembers… And so do I.
