Wolfsbane or Aconite is a purple hooded wild flower that has been used in traditional medicine for centuries. Like many drugs, the cure can become a poison if used incorrectly. Referred to by Shakespear as the "venom of suggestion," Aconite leads us into the water only to triumphantly emerge not with the answer, but with the question.
This track was recorded at Chillhouse Studios in Charlestown, MA. Engineered mixed and mastered by Will Holland.
lyrics
I am a child
Toe dipped in the riptide
Eyes bright, mouth wide
Hands tied, on trial
Try find the answer in the lie
Wolf bite, sleep tight
I’ll vaccinate you
Desiccate you
I’m tired
Lay me down to the sound
Of the coming age
Lay down your innocence
There’s no cure for the truth
Entombing your youth
Lay down your arrogance
There’s a child in the dark
A ghost in your heart
Salt stings when you blink
Undercurrent brings
You to the brink
Resigned to your fate
At the silent alter, still I wait
Wolf bite, sleep tight
I’ll vaccinate you
Desiccate you
I’m tired
Lay me down to the sound
Of the coming age
Lay down your innocence
There’s no cure for the truth
Entombing your youth
Lay down your arrogance
There’s a child in the dark
A ghost in your heart
Wolfs bane is my name
Wolfs bane is my name
Wolfs bane is my name
Ohhhhhhhh…
Aconite!
What is real?
What is right?
