Lyrics

I awoke barely slept Empty mind upside down Forgot the words under bed Seeking north for answers

Chains held me down Peer through the window Stolen book, takes my soul Bangs the hammer down

Keep an eye on the woods Both wondrous and strange Calls you down the hall And bows in respect The whole damn town Ashes drops on the table

Such an interesting idea, it’s like I’m listening to two different songs at once with the two halves of my brain, great production too

Incredible harmonies and noise! Delightfully unsettling :) You do such a great job capturing the Twin Peaks vibes. Loved the harmonica! Awesome work!

I love the vocal production on this! And the contrast between the slow melodic rhythm and the chaotic drums is really ear-catching. Yay harmonica!

That percussive chaos (free jazz esque) is really cool creates a constant sense of anticipation trough the track that something huge is to come. And then it doesn’t, instead it bares out and the punchline comes.
