Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
Putrid mess lays in the woods
Removed of organs and meat
Thirteen mounds of bony flesh
Hollowed out except for maggots
That dwell
Deep inside the skulls
Of victims that they cleaned
How did this horror unfold
No trace of evidence was left behind
At this scene of gore
Will the truth ever be told
Only time will tell
Will there be more to find
Some more hollowed bodies
Will there be more to find some more hollowed bodies
With their untold stories
Cadavers rot
Cadavers rot hollowed
13 more corpses are found
13 miles exactly south
26 more to the north
2 stacks of 13 humans
13 miles apart from one another
In a line
Why did this horror unfold
Two more
1 to the west
1 to the east make 6 in total
Will the truth ever be told
Only if I tell
Will there be more to find
Some more hollowed bodies
Will there be more to find some more hollowed bodies
With their untold stories
Cadavers rot
Cadavers rot hollowed
Bodies were found
Hollowed bodies
Bodies were found
Hollowed bodies
Removed of organs and meat
Thirteen mounds of bony flesh
Hollowed out except for maggots
That dwell
Deep inside the skulls
Of victims that they cleaned
How did this horror unfold
No trace of evidence was left behind
At this scene of gore
Will the truth ever be told
Only time will tell
Will there be more to find
Some more hollowed bodies
Will there be more to find some more hollowed bodies
With their untold stories
Cadavers rot
Cadavers rot hollowed
13 more corpses are found
13 miles exactly south
26 more to the north
2 stacks of 13 humans

Will there be more to find

Will there be more to find some more hollowed bodies

Cadavers rot
Cadavers rot hollowed
Bodies were found
Hollowed bodies
Bodies were found
Hollowed bodies

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
