lyrics

A pot full of blood with no fire or coil
turned away and dismissed
surely will boil
in our hours of guilt and sorrow we toil
just as bones left alone
slowly sink in the soil
give me the sacred life that I once led
black crow carry me home
weigh all that I have
let it sink to the bottom
on oily dark wings I'll roam
in the time I've wasted
looking around I've grown blind
in the time I've wasted
shutting my mouth I've grown quiet
and I can hold on for arms overhead
or rethink all these words that I've said
love or hate what's deserved
in the end its just me
just me and what I want things to mean
I stack those stones high
to try and separate
the shadows from the darkness
buried by the walls I've made
with ashes to anger
and dust to disgrace
a place for all things
and all things in their place
this ground is for spirits
of forgotten lives
I hear them whisper to me
singing their sorrow
with eyes sick and hollow
they're reaching for something to keep
creep to the water
don't let them see you
they'll steal your soul
and drain your heart for a taste of truth

Formed in 2012, the band released self-titled album in 2014 and has been touring non-stop since. New release "Appalachian Witch" set to release in Spring 2017 ... more

Comme d'habitude, j'ai bien du mal à choisir une "favorite track" avec ce groupe de Trashgrass qui excelle dans son domaine. Mais là, j'ai réussi à me décider finalement. XD EklektikTrip

As much as I like the current line up, I do miss the dynamic that Marissa's voice added to the band. Plus, she's one of the better washboard players out there. Terry Aston
