New Cerulean 04:51
Ghost of a land When the prairies turn to sand Nowhere to stand 'Til the Shaman waves his hand Keep standing Put your hand in Jump the canyon Caravan yourself Disguised, and your realize There can never be another one It's climbing It's shining Get high on the paradigm, yourself Rise and you realize This is the New Cerulean Go, understand Here's a message for the damned Don't shoot the man Whoever reapeth what they can

Remembering the time I met you by the river You were sipping your wine And pulling arrows from your quiver It was fine time... to make my escape Recall the way The bones can stick together And the skin replies Depending on the weather And your fine lines.... Yeah, you talk out of turn You should have learned We should have taught you this years ago Shrugging is a dance That happens by the river In this cold expanse There's nothing but the shivers And your fine lines... inside and out We should get a tree And plant it by the riverbed Just you and me We'll just deliver it.... Yeah, you talk out of turn You should have learned We should have taught you this years ago Oooh.. I'm lost in the lights These city lights We should have taught you these soldiers could die...

Valiant 03:22
You know, I won’t leave you screaming. Silent death. Lurking, unsheathed send you reeling. Round the bend Ripping away all the feelings. Ruthless being. Going to war for my beings. Nasty thing I shouldn’t have to tell you what's about to go down. Birthplace of a refuge, watch his shadows surely drown. Stealing souls of my dividers. Gods hand, gift to his deciders Wreaking, of a stench unholy. Scalping, violent never slowly I shouldn’t have to tell you what's about to go down. Birthplace of a refuge, watch his shadows surely drown. Mind of a warrior, sending arrows the speed of sound. Break on through the fire til I burn to the ground. [burn to the ground.]

You take another pull, now Straight up from the ground If you have the right tools They'll never hear a sound Out back, packing elevation Out back, searching for a stone Out back, a sack, illumination Out back, you're sowing in the bones... Your garden has a secret You take one and leave the others What you get or what you don't get There's another to discover Out back, packing elevation Out back, searching for a stone Out back, a sack, illumination Out back, you're sowing in the bones... Yeah.. you're digging up the bones... Out back, stalking elevation Out back, searching for a stone Out back, a sack, illumination Out back, you're sowing in the bones...

Crustagion 05:05
Back flow... Salt pyre Bloodfix in the skelechoir Blue glaze... Limbsaw Biteform on the Devil's claw Bilge plan... loose soot Breakin' off on the other foot Blind aim.. Creek stomp Bruised up in the swamp It's a Mississippi Sickness Baptized Tides of the carapace All Rise! Burst eye... Set straight Build up and regenerate Boil red... Blood meal Bitter shell on the battlefield Breachline... Cheliped Brackish on the riverbed Burn dry... New spawn Backwoods in the pond It's a Mississippi Sickness Baptized Tides of the carapace All Rise!

about

Woodcreeper Dubuque, Iowa

Forgetting the actual purpose of velocity since 2018. Take one part '90s alt-rock, two parts stoner rock, some brazen sprinkles of '70s & '80s doom, a drizzle of indie/noise, and dump in a bunch of spicy psychedelic hullabaloo. Mix and serve.
