about

Recorded during the sessions for "Bodies and Minds" in September 2004 by Andy Magoffin.

lyrics

I will be a tree climber
Will not know gravity, will not know brevity
Sprout leaves like instruments, dig down
Digging long enough to find peace

Strip down, peel, and husk
Use my claws and teeth
Be alive like fire
Be a fuel eater

Scrape down, dig down, put hands in dirty ground
Scrape down, dig down, put hands in dirty ground
