Mikheil Music - The Forest Knows My Name

The Forest Knows My Name

Verse 1
They poured their words like winter rain,
Cold, insisting, sharp as glass.
Told me the path they drew for me
Was the only road that I could pass.
Their voices crowded in my ribs—
A thousand hands on one small flame.
I tried to guard my trembling light,
But they kept whispering I should change.

Verse 2
I felt the walls grow roots around me,
Felt my own shadow lose its shape.
Their truth was heavy as a mountain -
My spirit shrinking in its weight.
They called their pressure “care” and “guidance,”
But every step stole breath from me.
I learned that even kindness kills
If it demands who you must be.

Chorus
So I walked into the forest
Where silence stitches broken bones.
Where the wind tells honest stories
And the earth knows all its own.
Let them say I disappeared -
A ghost who slipped beyond their claim.
But the trees don’t ask for reasons,
And the forest knows my name.

Verse 3
Depression lived inside my chest
Like a bird beating against a cage.
They tried to calm it with their rules,
But only fed its quiet rage.
My instincts clawed for open air,
For one place untouched by demand.
The body knows when it’s in danger,
Even when the mind can’t understand.

Chorus
So I walked into the forest
Where silence stitches broken bones.
Where the wind tells honest stories
And the earth knows all its own.
Let them say I disappeared -
A ghost who slipped beyond their claim.
But the trees don’t ask for reasons,
And the forest knows my name.

Bridge
I built a fire in the clearing,
Watched the sparks become the stars.
No voices there to bend me,
No soft control behind false hearts.
Maybe solitude is heavy -
But at least the weight is mine.
And freedom grows like moss on stone
When you give yourself the time.

Final Chorus
So I stayed here in the forest,
Where the night is deep but never cruel.
Where the river keeps my secrets,
And the quiet makes me whole.
Let them say I lost my way -
Yet I found more than I became.
Because the trees don’t ask for reasons,
And the forest knows my name.
