A Woodpecker Whispers in Your Ear

from Amnesia Breaks by Golden Ghost

lyrics

A woodpecker whispers in your ear and everything changes
Tack tack tack
Tack tack tack

He’s held in close defying gravity
Poised, upright, defying time with his audible fight
Tack tack tack
Tack tack tack
Faster than you can count

He wakes you from sleep
He wakes your mothers
Your fathers
Your fathers father, your mothers mother

So deep into time that you are ancestral past cracks open and spills forth…
Tack tack tack
Tack tack tack

A dance occurs, a romance unfurls
You bear witness to a courtship that happens lightly
A union that happens gladly
Tack tack tack
Tack tack tack

She answers!
She listens
She measures every strike for its purity
It’s synchronicity, and she whispers in your ear
Tack tack tack
Tack tack tack

Something breaks something shatters
You look at the world and wonder
What have we done?

From so far back we see a future and from so far back we see a need to drop everything just for one minute and witness
Just bear witness
The quiet, the stillness

She whispers in your ear

Tack tack tack
Tack tack tack

It corrects itself
Through stillness it corrects itself

Tack tack tack
Tack tack tack
