My home is missing in the fog
I wander the forest
Bare feet on muddy floor
Skin torn
An acorn we sow
To become more
Deep in soil, down below
The only way to return home
is to give up what I know
I don't want to lose you, but you're already gone
The only thing I'm holding now,
clenched fists, tight jaw
The only way to return home is to give up the love I've known
The only way to return home is to give up the love I've known
I sink my body into earth, my roots reach down
to touch mycelium
a constellation underground
Oh Duchess of Fungi,
Oh Lady of Truffles,
can you lead me home?
Can the darkness show me where to go?
Can the darkness show me where to go?
Under earth in eternal night,
I follow mushroom roots
Don't know if I'll survive
Chanterelle, Parasol, Muscaria, Black Saddle
Fairy Ring, Cremini, Hen of the Woods, Maitake
Sweet Bread, Cryptic Bonnet, Bear's Head, Wine cap
Will the mushrooms lead me back?
Puff ball, shaggy mane, blue milky cap, slippery jack
Ear Straw, Tiger's Eye, Wood Ear, Velvet Foot, Golden Needle, Pig's Ear, Belly Button, Milky Cap
Will the mushrooms lead me back?
Can the darkness show me where to go?
Can the darkness show me where to go?
Deep in soil down below,
My body aches, I travel on
I don't know what still awaits
For I give up the love I've known
I give up the love I've known
I give up everything I know
Please let the darkness show me where to go
