Mai Darkwave - Blood in Wood (Official Audio) Album: Electronic Shadows "Some ghost stories aren't about places—they're about people who stay embedded under your skin, like blood in wood." "Blood in Wood" is a journey through the memories we refuse to let go, the echo of a presence that returns every time the room goes still. Deep darkwave basslines, cold synth atmospheres, and relentless nostalgia. 🥀 Join the community / Subscribe:    / @mai_darkwave   LYRICS I told my friends, I moved on clean I wore new names like summer jeans I laughed too loud, I stayed too late Let other hands rewrite my days But some old things live under skin A folded note I never threw in Your face still comes with the rain Like it knows where I keep the ache Years went by So did my pride I learned to leave I learned to lie But when the room goes still You come back in I should forget you I should, I should But you stay with me Like blood in wood I should forget you (should forget you) Still you live on In my body I loved and lost I started again Still you reach me At the edges I should forget you I should, I should But you stay with me Like blood in wood There were warm arms There were bright rooms There were slow dances And borrowed moons Some kissed my mouth Some knew my bed None of them touched What you left I found your shadow In passing songs In folded sleeves And traffic lights gone I’d think, “enough” I’d let it go Then one small scent And there you go Years went by So did my pride I learned to leave I learned to lie But when the room goes still You come back in I should forget you I should, I should But you stay with me Like blood in wood I should forget you (should forget you) Still you live on In my body I loved and lost I started again Still you reach me At the edges I should forget you I should, I should But you stay with me Like blood in wood Maybe that’s just How love refuses Not a wound Just something rooted I can cut back I can rename it Still the same vine Keeps on climbing And I hate that I don’t hate you I hate the part That still feels true After all these years After all these doors One quiet knock And I’m yours I should forget you I should, I should But you stay with me Like blood in wood I should forget you (should forget you) Still you live on In my body I loved and lost I started again Still you reach me At the edges I should forget you I should, I should But you stay with me Like blood in wood So let me be A little haunted By the one I never conquered I should forget you But I don’t And maybe that’s The truest thing PRODUCTION CREDITS Composition and Lyrics: MAI Darkwave Production and Sound Engineering: MAI Darkwave Mixing and Final Mastering: FL Studio / Ozone Preliminary audio demo: made with Roland synthesizer, Yamaha and Fender guitar Visual Concept: Gemini, Copilot, Sony Vegas & CapCut Support tools: Suno, Udio, Gemini, Chat GPT CONNECT WITH MAI'S UNIVERSE 🎧 Listen to more MAI: https://open.spotify.com/user/31awcuo... 🎵 TikTok: [  / mai_darkwave  ](  / mai_darkwave  ) 📸 Instagram: [  / mai.darkwave  ](  / mai.darkwave  ) 👥 Facebook: [  / mai.darkwave  ](  / mai.darkwave  ) #Darkwave #PostPunk #GothMusic #MaiMusic #AlternativeDark #Synthwave #goth #DarkAlternative #MaiDarkwave © 2026 Mai DarkWave.
