BAD SPELL
Lyrics by Howlin’ Whale
Music by Howlin’ Whale, Taylor Quinn
Birds sang with miners’
Shaky breath and clogged lungs
The hearts of the trees stuck like sap And beat like wilted drums
Smoke poured through the crater Crushed deep by a giant’s toe
As the wind cried
Like a child
Lost to his daddy’s tome
I said it like a bad spell (like a bad spell) I cast me under
I said it like a bad spell (bad spell)
I cast me under
Rhythm of bats’ wings
Stirs the air wild and cold We hunt for the small things The weak, sick, and old
Owl beaks tear like lightning Silent, bright and hot
As the withering veins
Of the leaves
Start to clot
Why’d I taste that sweet honey That fell from that pot?
Why’d I taste that sweet honey That fell from that pot?
I said it like a bad spell (like a bad spell) I cast me under
I said it like a bad spell (bad spell)
I cast me under
(Like a bad spell) (Bad spell)
Streams leak like blood

Over dust charred and sore Birds rip hair for nests
From skulls cracked and bored Crows fly like spies
With grit teeth and locked jaws And the boiling
Muddy water
Slowly swallows the frogs
No sound cuts the air
But my love, wild and true A shout that was sucked up Sucked up without you
I said it like a bad spell (bad spell) I said it like a bad spell (bad spell) I said it like a bad spell (bad spell)
