lyrics

Plague moves downriver
Soft wind, warm night
Cold earth, silent under
Stand still, still might

Talk with flies and shadows
Lie there, amongst the weeds
Sleep tight, covered over
Forget my needs

You can find me in the swamp
Threading roots into silt and soil
For a hundred years

You can find me in the dark
There’s not a lantern you couldn’t light
With your fear


Slow death, Virginia creeper
Shallow breath, long vines
Weave words into water
Quicksand like landmines

You can find me in the swamp
There’s no future to find
Around here

Speak soft, country manners
Wet moss is alive
Sinking to the bottom
Maybe I’ll just dive
