Ghost in the Grain (Music Video)

By The Ronin Project · Metal · From the album Inside the Embers

The wood remembers footsteps

Even ones you meant to hide

Every mark along the doorframe

Knows the nights you barely survived

There's a murmur in the hallway

Like a voice beneath the floor

You swore you'd never listen

But it's whispering once more

Every silence here is speaking

You can hear it if you stay

Every shadow knows the story

You keep trying to throw away

There's a ghost in the grain

And it's carving out the truth

Every line, every stain

Is a map back to you

You can run from the past

But the wood won't forget

What you bury in the dark

Always bleeds through the fret

The floorboards hold your secrets

Pressed like bones beneath the weight

They remember every fracture

That you swore was just a phase

There's a warning in the rafters

A low groan beneath the rain

You pretend the house is empty

But it still calls out your name

Every echo comes back sharper

When you try to shut it out

You can paint over the damage

But the cracks still spell it out

There's a ghost in the grain

And it's carving out the truth

Every line, every stain

Is a map back to you

You can run from the past

But the wood won't forget

What you bury in the dark

Always bleeds through the fret

You feel the tremor in the walls

As the memories pull tight

Every knot inside the timber

Ties you back into the fight

You tried to carve a new beginning

Tried to sand away the shame

But the sawdust never covered

Every letter of your name

You can't silence what remembers

You can't bury what remains

Every fracture has a witness

Every ghost inside the grain

There's a ghost in the grain

And it's tearing through the seams

Every scar, every stain

Spills the truth you didn't mean

You can run from the past

But it knows every step

What you hide inside the dark

Always claws its way back

The boards exhale your secrets

As the lantern starts to fade

You walk out into the night

But your shadow stays in the frame

Maybe someday you'll forgive it

But the wood still knows your name
