Little Roots, Little Shoots

(album: Child In Reverse - 2020)

I'm in the dark forest and I'm waiting for you
I'm in the dark forest, I'm in the dark forest
I'm the witch, I'm the werewolf, and I'm waiting for you
I'm in the dark forest, I'm in the dark forest
I'm the vampire, the sprite and I'm waiting for you
The slasher, the child, I'm waiting for you
I'm in the dark forest, I'm in the dark forest
I'm in the dark forest

Little roots, little shoots
Under the ground, under the ground, under the ground they grow
Little roots, little shoots
Under the ground, under the ground, under the ground they grow

Pushing up (pushing up)
Pushing up (pushing up)
Pushing up (pushing up)
Pushing up (pushing up)
Pretty soon (pretty soon)
Pretty soon (pretty soon)
Pretty soon (pretty soon)
Pretty soon (pretty soon)

Little roots, little shoots
Gonna be all you know, gonna be all you know

I'm what you don't want to remember, and I'm waiting for you
I'm right here in the mirror, looking at you
Where did it all go wrong, where did it all go wrong
Cause I'm in the dark forest, I'm in the dark forest

Little roots, little shoots
Under the ground, under the ground, under the ground they grow
Little roots, little shoots
Under the ground, under the ground, under the ground they grow

Pushing up (pushing up)
Pushing up (pushing up)
Pushing up (pushing up)
Pushing up (pushing up)
Pretty soon (pretty soon)
Pretty soon (pretty soon)
Pretty soon (pretty soon)
Pretty soon (pretty soon)

Little roots, little shoots
Gonna be all you know, gonna be all you know

I'm in the dark forest and I'm wearing a disguise
In a shadow, in a mask, but these are still my eyes
I'm watching you closely, I'm measuring your pulse
I'm always beside, I'm always beside you
I'm treading in short, silent steps right behind
Working up a spell so that I'll always find you
I'm always beside you, I'm always beside you
I'm always beside you, I'm always beside you

Little roots, little shoots
Under the ground, under the ground, under the ground they grow
Little roots, little shoots
Under the ground, under the ground, under the ground they grow
Little roots, little shoots
Gonna be all, gonna be all, gonna be all you know
Little roots, little shoots
Gonna be all, gonna be all, gonna be all you know

I'm in the dark forest and I'm wearing a disguise
In a shadow, in a mask, but these are still my eyes
I'm watching you closely, I'm measuring your pulse
I'm always beside, I'm always beside you
I'm the vampire, the sprite, I'm waiting for you
The slasher, the child, I'm waiting for you
Where did it all go wrong
Where did it all go wrong
Where did it all go wrong
Where did it all go so wrong?
