Red Doctrine

[Intro] Verse One Lace the hood pull it low Mother says what I must know Don’t be late don’t be loud Don’t look back don’t be proud Forest locks behind my heels Every branch knows how I feel Path is narrow clean and kind Like a blade teaching the spine Pre Chorus Rules taste sweet when whispered slow Good girls go where told to go Fear behaves when trained to smile Walk it right walk it awhile Chorus Veri, veri on the ground Hear my heartbeat hunt the sound Peto, peto breathing close Red is what the forest chose Veri, veri say it again Peto wins before the end Verse Two House smells wrong door still warm Welcome dressed in borrowed form Eyes too big voice too calm Hands like prayers hiding harm Questions wrapped in velvet tone Sit down child you’re safe at home Bed dips soft teeth show white Stories end better at night Pre Chorus Trust the voice trust the grin That’s how every cut begins If it knows your name too well You’re already in its hell Chorus Veri, veri on the ground Hear my heartbeat hunt the sound Peto, peto breathing close Red is what the forest chose Veri, veri say it again Peto wins before the end Bridge Teeth are laws without appeal Hunger knows what fear can’t feel Grandma’s gone but no one ran Love gets eaten by the plan I learn fast when silence snaps Mercy dies between the traps Breakdown Lie still Play dead Be polite Lose your head Nice girls live Nice girls wait Nice girls bleed When they’re bait Chorus Veri, veri on the ground Hear my heartbeat hunt the sound Peto, peto breathing close Red is what the forest chose Veri, veri say it again Peto wins before the end Outro Hood is darker soaked and stiff Lesson learned don’t fucking drift Forest fed and satisfied I walked in prey I walked out knife
