about

This is our first song with drums and is referred to as the "Train Song" or "Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd Birthday."

lyrics

The brood adapts how it wants to -
to a blueberry field (to a strawberry field),
spilling out the contents (into a skull)

A vivid image of a moon chained to the roof,
bloody lips, four legs, and blistered hooves,
coming closer to the line drawn in the dirt

Brood exists when it wants to,
to a raspberry field (to a raspberry field)
spilling out the contents

Can we get off this train, before it arrives, after we rob them -
'cause when the morning comes, we'll be running forever, be rotting forever
WIth these gems in our hands, we cross the land, setting fires to the
footsteps and paths in the woods, but we'll never learn, 'cause we have the right to be unwilling

The brood adapts how it wants to,
to a blueberry field,
spilling out the contents

come closer

I found Days N' Daze right at the end of a long term relationship falling apart into a toxic mess. This album really helped me get through it. Call in the Coroner in particular was on repeat many days. Thanks for the tunes y'all! Tribar

As much as I like the current line up, I do miss the dynamic that Marissa's voice added to the band. Plus, she's one of the better washboard players out there. Terry Aston
