about

A tribute to the mystery of the deep, dark woods, the riddles in everyday life and to the great writer Nic Pizzolatto.

lyrics

Cold night backdrop white flash light
Rain doesn't care, aligns in the air
Timber views reflect in eyes
The mountainous horizon

Sweet day sunrise dark tree shadows
Dust on the mouth of a rampant river
Chicken bones and thunderous moans
Crunch loud and bring goodbyes in

Fields of loss and murky meadows
Rust on the wheels of a burnt out heart
Bovine stock of critter gravy
Bubbling in the pyschosphere

Clouds of guilt ride flustered gales
Escaping from the forest
People made from muddied sticks
Screech harmonies un-chorussed

Holes and cracks that stretch the ground
And lilies in the mayhem
Perfect sound of bats that flap
Deep within the brain stem

Corn forlorn and treacle sap
Chewed up ropy ladder
Seek the fear without a map
Turn the scarecrow madder

Timber's got no leaves
Can't see the wood for the trees
