The Devil came to visit when I was just a child He scared the piss out while writhing in my sleep I couldn't explain it in a fear to speak I took a bath but then the waves were washing me, whoa whoa When maybe three, maybe two blue formations flew right by Blue or were they green I could not tell before I knew they were off like wind What fiends are these A gust of leaves The cats freak out and they're off like wind mother of god and all that's sanctified I believe I slept too long (but the devil's in the bathtub) Every bug stood still (but the devil's in the bathtub) even the cicadas (the devil's in the bath) No I couldn't have That doesn't happen No it don't so I must have been struck with a vision Thunder and lightening and the waves are washing me, whoa whoa looking all around for a flashlight I tripped and took out the banister ball with a few fillings and a chilling premonition and then I checked on out Out the door to breathe out in it for a minute How the day had hit had surely hit my limit how the heavy tense of it had surely hit the top Bells were ringing in my head, a readiness to pop Waves are washing me, whoa whoa The Devil came to visit when I was just a child He scared the piss out while writhing in my sleep I couldn't explain it in a fear to speak I took a bath but then the waves were washing me, whoa whoa Put the devil in the bathtub and wash his face and ass Put the devil in the washtub and fill all his wounds with sand It wouldn't be the worst time we've had since we saw him laugh since we saw him last

Murky Waters 02:54
Curled in a ball with his hands and his arms wrapped around him all His land is about to fall He don't know what to do There's this look in his eye He could seemingly break There's no telling what path he will choose No telling what turn or direction he'll take War, we're at war What's it for? nothing more We're at war with the shore we were forced to leave Wading through the murky waters Running out of time What a day Look at the sun The look in your eyes I'm stupid with sentiment What a day! People forced to live in the murk Where every single moment is work Where wood is the money And trees are like gems The dirt is all salted and floating in tubs If we have such numbers then where is the love? Where is the love? It is floating in tubs It's floating in tubs Curled in a ball with his hands held above his heart He don't know where to start but hoping somebody somewhere does Sure he could fall, it would suck it would be not good luck But as someone off somewhere once said… War, we're at war What's it for? nothing more We're at war with the shore we were forced to leave Wading through the murky waters Running out of time What a day Look at the sun The look in your eyes I'm stupid with sentiment What a day!

Fabric 02:44
The fabric, is it folding? Unfold the crippling thing Pinch me please What's my line? Is this a dream or a ripple in time Could you please help me tie the string I must have put a rip in the seam The fabric, is it folding? Who put these words in my head How come they won't go away What are these figures in white Fear cuts like a knife It festers inside For so your dreams to run on The strength is in yourself There's no doubt about it The strength is in yourself Stand up and shout it I can tell you're really strong And it won't be very long till our hearts become as one Presidents and senators, diplomats and monitors Homelessness and janitors and me Lost in a blast of gears and springs A broken clock unwinds And from my lips my wine and all its meaning The fabric, is it folding?

Scaredy 02:57
Scaredy I'd like to commemorate this to the time Dad cried on his hollandaise. If he's gonna be a stress ball then I'm setting up the tripod. I think he's thinking too hard. This time he should go for it. What good is being like this if everything falls apart. We belong to the life we're given separate from the living we're all caught up in our wits, losing sight by the day, by the night, there's nothing less when nothing's stressed and nothing's blessed when all is sacred i feel naked What are you waiting for? They've closed the city down now. You can see forever from here with all the power down. On rebel, on rebel I clip the flash to Mom's old 35 there's a sea of lights and candles outside I am not afraid to be anything I'm going out. I'm gonna listen from the yard. Scaredy, I am not afraid You're a scaredy, I am not afraid On rebel, on rebel, rebel They're shouting down the block. Must be mischief left to brew from the subways and rooftops. Are you waiting for... rebel What are you waiting for? They've closed it down. You can see the stars with all the power down. I am not afraid to be anything

Dissipate in a minute, suddenly deep deep deeper in it I mean in it, I mean in it My legs feel light, do your legs feel light? Up from the soup and made of it too We tango with a single moon Magnanimous might and cruelty flowing A reflection of the way of the universe

One Foot 02:59
The midnight show will soon begin You lie awake thinking about a soda, waiting on a friend Tacked up near the vent Your ceiling mocks your pens All your doodles look the same She may never come you had better make some footprints in the snow One foot in, one foot out of of your door You dreamt you saw the show and everyone you know Sleeping in your clothes They're living out a song doing donuts on a lawn somewhere out in the Cold One foot in, one foot out How can you expect to climb it when you're full of fear, full of doubt It's a wonder you're alive Take your time, let them out Those monsters kept inside Just shake them free, scream and shout Just one step and you're outside

Curupira 04:24
Scent of perfume Bats come wake me I prick my ears and swing from the passion vine Up the kapok In the dusk go silhouettes so quietly up the canopy Where they hide from the snaps and snorts prowling below They begin a new night up in the haze of a fading sky Kinkajou chews up a fig screaming in delight What a dreadful sound And a bawling great potoo and off in the distance a howling monkey Curupira with flaming hair and legs on backward Please turn the greedy into agotis and aardvarks And lead them chasing off to nowhere

Bub 04:37
I rode into this with all my wits When all was new but all was fixed I played you in cards, I lost my chips I have myself to blame Strings from my heart hang on your every word I'm leaking oil at night underneath the roof of my bike The lamps have been lit, come here and sit We need to talk about I'll make room, you'll fit, let's shoot the shit The things we have put off We're made of everything hangs on your every word Leaking oil at night underneath the roof of my little beautiful My little beautiful Ow, it hurts to see you fall, I don't like to see you down Hurry to you, scoop you up and I toss you all around I goof around to make you laugh I ride out of town with half my wits And roll the windows down I look over my shoulder at all my haunts There go my haunts and every yesterday I'm leaking oil at night underneath the roof of my bike

about

FOREST CREATURE is born out of a 20 year friendship and longstanding mutual musical respect between Seth Faergolzia (aka Dufus) from New York and John Ludington from California, who met while still in school. Both have written and recorded countless songs, toured together and influenced each other, but not until now have they collaborated in the writing process. These two well-matched musicians sent pieces of songs back and forth and recorded bit by bit an extraordinary work of art which takes to the stage in performance, March 2013 for a European tour.
