Featured song from 2021's  Keys to My Head LP 

In the Pines

In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun never shines
That's where the cold wind blows
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun never shines
I shiver when the cold wind blows

My hours and my days
Are filled with a haze
Rising up from the soil
Like a grave,
The dead and the dying
Are far past lying
And their voices come,
The living, to save‚

In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun never shines
That's where the cold wind blows
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun never shines
I shiver when the cold wind blows

These hills and these hollows
Are a judge and a gallows
For no one but the guilty
Of heart,
So come bringing light
Be it daytime or night
Those who have gone before
Are ready to start.

(instrumental section)

In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun never shines
That's where the cold wind blows
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun never shines
The time for justice grows

In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun never shines
As I shiver, and the cold wind blows.
