[Verse 1]
Found myself beneath the ancient bark
Where riddles grow like twisted roots
The tree speaks in forgotten tongues
While I trace patterns in the dirt
Each branch points a different way
But all roads lead me further down
[Pre-chorus]
They told me up was always up
But here the rules don't apply
What I thought was firm ground
Is just another lie
[Chorus]
Here tree were the riddle and the for is a down
Everything I knew has turned around
The answers that I'm seeking
Are buried in the ground
Here tree were the riddle and the for is a down
[Post-chorus]
Down, down, down
Where the truth can be found
Down, down, down
[Verse 2]
I've been walking backwards all my life
Thinking sunrise meant the day was new
But this old oak with weathered scars
Shows me what I never knew
The deeper that its roots can reach
The higher up its branches grow
[Pre-chorus]
They told me up was always up
But here the rules don't apply
What I thought was firm ground
Is just another lie
[Chorus]
Here tree were the riddle and the for is a down
Everything I knew has turned around
The answers that I'm seeking
Are buried in the ground
Here tree were the riddle and the for is a down
[Post-chorus]
Down, down, down
Where the truth can be found
Down, down, down
[Bridge]
I used to climb toward the light
But light was just another trap
Now I'm digging with my hands
Following this ancient map
The tree remembers what we've lost
In its rings of time and cost
[Chorus]
Here tree were the riddle and the for is a down
Everything I knew has turned around
The answers that I'm seeking
Are buried in the ground
Here tree were the riddle and the for is a down
[Post-chorus]
Down, down, down
Where the truth can be found
Down, down, down
Here tree were the riddle and the for is a down
