lyrics

the woods look different at night

it was in may twilight, we ran to a forest
where we thought we'd spend the night
then came flying creatures
we had to fend them off with our cigarettes
set the grass alight

eyes can drift discreetly, take you off your guard
leave you for the night collector
he will dress you up
fatten you, fill your cup
get you ready for the winter

it gets tiresome, now i'm overwhelmed
this isn't what I'm like
it gets lonesome hanging on to bones
swinging at nocturnal eyes

ashy, blackened skin
a dank and musty wind
confirmed what we had thought
that we had to be dreaming
or flying pretty high
to believe our deserved lot
