Ty says…
In every proper forest, you have things that you cannot see. Some of them are not content to drink dew and nibble berries.

lyrics
shadowed eyes hide in the sunlight
without ever a glint to betray
we are watching, we are watching
do you belong here, or are you lost?
in the deepest, darkest forests
we make lairs and raise our young
we are watching, we are watching
for the next morsel to come
you’ll never hear us soft-walking
until our breath is on your cheek
we are watching, we are watching
are you mute or can we make you scream?
our touch is feather-light but still
iron-cold against goosebumped bare skin
we are watching, we are watching
can you feel our claws scorch your blood?
in the deepest, darkest forests
we make lairs and raise our young
we are watching, we are watching
for the next morsel to come
bare your teeth and gather your courage
and perhaps we will take naught and leave
we are watching, we are watching
do you know where the grave moss grows?
quiver in fear and let your voice break
and perhaps we will stay and draw close
we are watching, we are watching
let us show you where your bones will go
in the deepest, darkest forests
we make lairs and raise our young
we are watching, we are watching
for the next morsel to come
in the deepest, darkest forests
you have come, fool among beasts,
we are watching, we are watching
are you friend or are you food?
