Lyrics for Dark Woods

Trying to focus with the moon no shine When the sun barely sweeps the floor, the floor, sweeps the floor Sky is my roof, grass high as bamboo Soon as I arrived, knew I should've never came through Side-eye when they claim plans foolproof So no real surprise when easy-as-one-two turn to oh-no, dude, fuck is we gon' do? Deep woods off, Ted Kaczynski White man map, the space empty Here there be monsters, dark forests wander Glaciers of ice conjure black ganja that don't burn Malice and spite squandered, the dead don't learn Harpy claw like bone saw, self-murderers flout divine law That great escape, tree of knowledge Bagged by the eighth, it only took one snake Rope around my neck and kick, kick, kick, kick, kick Kick the ladder out Hid from his eye, cheered when they tumbled out the sky Humbled and chastised, all lies crumble A thousand eyes in the jungle, lifetime of pies and bundles Death marching, one in the back of the head when you stumble As I lay moldering, head stove-in L still smolderin', eyes red-rimmed Calf had the golden skin A cold wind, twist and spin from old limb Thick-skinned, wide cadaver grin, no new friends What says the priest? The priest does not say The priest does not say, Nihil Dicit I'll not second-say you in your notions, don't ask it Ah priest, what could I ask of you that you've not already given?
