Tangles 03:25
there's a verdant grove right down the old road with a tangle of rhododendron and a stream cascading down the shadowed hollow taking dreams too dark to mention i hide in the leaves and there i grieve the loss of an old self, demons, lovers but this twisty wood, it perseveres like the tangle of skins and blood it covers on western hills the juniper used to hold our hearts and other living things but now, as we hide in these green mountainsides the spirit of the rhododendron sings there ain't a town for miles in any direction those were all burned in the white world expansion you might see a gated holiday mansion but none of fhat matters - green is the cure... there is no greater taste than burnt earwax but flowering flesh and wood and warm leaves a sunset walk can be better than sex and i may find myself on my knees tangled in brush and the wolf's eyelash seasons of love and the dance of spring oh how i long for its soft embrace more than any other thing....

gaps in the mountains, gaps in the mind gaps so deep honey, them you won't find a girl can dream of Satan, with a shiny cold steel frozen temples on the rock, it's hard to tell what's real.... is she too deep, am i too exposed? inside this cloud, how will we know?
3.
oh girl, oh girl, please tell me where did you sleep last night? in the pines, in the pines, where the sun don't often shine and i shivered the whole night through oh girl, oh girl, where will you go? i'm going where the cold wind blows to the pines, to the pines, with a bottle of wine and i'll drink to the night and i won't be back tomorrow and i'll run... ...to the dark pine forest taken back by the gods that's where i'll find my new home one burn for pleasure, one for release, and one for the beauty of the earth and the trees and if i go deep and lose my directions may the vultures fill up as they eat my infections or i'll find, i'll find a road to the mine where there may be a man i know who can help me and there ain't no clean coal, till it gets in yr soul but it keeps us warm when the rest of the world is so cold and we'll dance.... ...on the once burning mine taken back by the gods that's where we'll find a new home Ar-Rahman, Ar-Rahim we are in a faerie dream the sun of love, the moon of love dancing in the stars above the forest calls, surrounds us all, in misty mountains, beautiful on and on, the trail goes on, the caravan of creation...

her instincts guide her along crooked roads and down in the river to pray in dark skies, her soul hides and digs out her pain the current then takes it away she says goodbye, in circle she flies the beats carry her thru the rain sisters in different orbits sisters on parallel planes light and shadow bound to cross again rain.. pillaging the soul like bombs on our earth we scratch, tear down the numbers of our worth if water turns to acid, where do we stand? in hazardous waste on top of Disneyland rain... now, more-again now Morrigan (your love)

(don't panic) (there will be a 'piece' in the valley) 42 inch wide pipe and she really spreads don't panic...just perform for them, they'll respect her more pick the fruit that she has ripened taste the tart sweetness of this temporary existence (there will be a piece in the valley) there will be lies, there will be storms sacred bodies that take so many forms relations are tested, life lessons are learned lands are fought for, then polluted and burned (there will be peace in the valley) Satan, i'll get behind you...
7.
when touched by an angel we're wicked into wind tunnels and the air smells like spring again as it turns into summer and that sweet honeysuckle and mist over rivers if we have to do this trip again, it will still give me shivers you're gonna miss me when i'm gone i'm gonna miss you by your song i'm gonna miss you when you're gone

Gods are ancestors, pieces inside us Gods are ancestors, seeds inside us existing on another realm, powered by energy we feed them.. the lady stands at the crossing of the gravel washboard roads wisdom dreamed and given from the maiden boy who she once was black dog guards the entrance trail a wispy hunter's moon shines down deer run and the wind follows we're just passing thru these hollows as fancy objects, fancy that They built subdivisions, no souls on long dark roads (In) Hades' barren lots, no light, no color, no phone signals Come with me! Leaves so late to change, not ready to evolve but the fruits are going fast, it's turning cold the fire is lit, warmer when you look at it as the hunters wait from beyond death's door ..and the crones walk the trails, climb the hills of stones sending chills to the boys and (to) their younger selves Come with me! (into the forest) Pay attention to your shadow side Carry torches for your future in the wild The nations need the Dark Goddess right now...

REVIEWS:
--------------------------------------------------

"An atmospheric collection of tender indie tracks. Acoustic, novel, with lo-fi production. ...They defy the ordinary indie-folk categories. Pieces can be hollow, ambient, whispering, and mad. It reminds me of great synth pop or psychedelic rock. It's creative and poetic. Excellent work. Check it out."
--Issues magazine, November 2018
