Blood Moon Bounce

The

trees are wired The

moon is thin Something is

breathing Under my skin

Toy keys twitch in the hollow dark Little teeth flash,

leaving sparks Black roots tap on the window frame Every branch knows

my secret name I hear paws where the path was clear Hot

wet breath in my frozen ear The signal dies,

then the night replies

With a thousand yellow eyes

Run, run, the green lights follow Down the vein of the deadwood

hollow Cry, cry, but the sound comes back

Wearing my voice through a broken track

Howl, howl, wolves in the wire Drag my heart through the static

fire

I was crying,

I was calling But the dark kept growing,

growing Howl, howl, teeth in the rain Bite the rhythm,

bite my name No way out and no sky above Night of

the howling wolves

Witches growl from the radio snow

Low black vowels make the root bulbs glow The forest hums in

a tone

Every dead machine has found a bone My shadow splits when the

bass hits hard One runs home,

one stays on guard

I taste rust and electric blue Then the wolf says,

I am you

Run, run, the red lights blossom Something knocks from inside my coffin

Cry, cry, let the high notes break Feed the fear to the

things awake Howl, howl,

wolves in the wire Drag my heart through the static fire

I was crying,

I was calling But the dark kept growing,

growing Howl, howl, teeth in the rain Bite the rhythm,

bite my name No way out and no sky above Night of

the howling wolves

Hush now, hush now,

hear them count

One at the roots,

two underground Three in the branches,

four at the door Five little claws across the floor If I

stop, they will find me If I scream,

they will remind me

Every tear becomes a beacon Every breath becomes their signal Breathe in

the moss Breathe out the flame The forest is learning The shape

of my name Wolves in the circuit Witches below Toy piano heartbeat

Faster we go

Howl, howl, wolves in the wire

Drag my heart through the static fire

I was crying,

I was calling Now I’m howling,

now I’m falling Howl,

howl, teeth in the rain Turn my sorrow into chain No way

out and no sky above Night of the howling wolves

Howl, howl, let the whole dark move Sub-bass thunder,

nothing to prove I was crying,

I was calling Now the forest hears me snarling Howl,

howl, when the black bells shove I belong to the howling wolves

The toy keys stop

The branches sway One yellow eye Becomes the day
