Mosaic Tiles
V1 -
I thought of moving west
Red canyons in a marble montage
But I’ll be here when you’re gone
Playing music all the time
Wings spread wide on the wind
Carry you to another town
I’ll be here after you move
Holding this stone heart of mine
C -
If I could freeze the moments
Take another shot
If I could freeze the moments
V2 -
So I listen to the rain
Find a peace I couldn’t find at home
Washing shadows, it’s cleaning the dark
Like a blessing I’d never known
I’m on the coast of southern Maine
Watching you at the shore
Best story I ever told
Writing our own folklore
Bridge -
If I could freeze the moments
Mosaic tiles arranged in my fractured display
The days keep coming right at us
Like a line of waves on the open ocean
Drag us down under again
V3 -
So I see you when I can
With our circle of friends
First name basis with everyone
We’re playing music all the time
(The Forest Effect. Lyrics - E. Page)

Darkening My Door
V1 -
You became a shadow darkening my door
You're the family apple, fallen close the tree
Abandoned highway, lined with wrecks left to rust
Now you're a dealer settling a score
Pre-Ch -
From the Virgin Islands to the Bay of Maine
I searched the shore for a light
C -
I saw a shadow darkening my door
A shadow on my door
V2 -
You became the duchess of a kingdom overthrown
You were the master planner, we ate right from your hand
The guardian of a castle, tower over barren land
Now you're just a secret the world has never known
Pre-2
From Mount Desert Island to Maho Bay
I searched the shore for a light
C -
I saw a shadow darkening my door
A shadow on my door

To a Heartbeat
C1
Oh I could stay right here
With you by the bay as the night
Erases the daylight
and we never felt so still
To a heartbeat
C2
And I could die right now
as the world stops to spin
The beat and the changes
this life condensed to a heartbeat
to a heartbeat
B1
In the moment we arrive
The beat of the ocean comes alive
and takes the heart of the sun
now the future and the past overlap
the stars revealed the first the last
one by one
B2
The night falls down on the bay
silence the nerves of the day
Until it’s done
now the future and the past overlap
the stars revealed the first the last
one by one

Telling Me Off
V1:
Waves at night
Sea-sprayed salt
Show me the town where you come from
I'll tell you who needs to grow up
Verse Tag:
Show me a love words didn't corrupt
I'll tell you my mind's made up
C1
You're telling me off
Something must have set you off
V2:
You blame this town
Still owes you something good
Remember the dates we stayed up all night
I'd watch as you sleep in the sun
C2:
You're telling me off
Something must have set you off
You say you've got a new best friend, He turns you on
Picking up where we left off
V3:
Show me a house quiet and still
I'll tell you when I'm coming home
C3:
Now you're telling me off
Something must have set you off
I used to know every switch, To turn you on
You're telling me off
Chorus Tag:
You say you've got a new best friend, He turns you on
Picking up where we left off
(The Forest Effect. Lyrics - E. Page)

In the Wind
V1:
She asked him
To keep a diary only she could read
it might seem selfish.
She framed every entry on her bedroom walls
PC1:
One page she keeps reading over again
Hey you, reunited, with an old friend
One page she keeps reading over again
C:
But the feeling, she’s lost it
It’s just riding, in the wind, in the wind
V2:
He kept it close
At his station, at his post
They found it, private pages
Blowing in the sand
PC2:
One page she keeps reading over again
Hey you, reunited, with an old friend
C:
But the feeling, she’s lost it
It’s just riding, in the wind, in the wind
Outro:
she asked him, keep a diary only she could read
The Forest Effect / Lyrics - E. Page

The Forest Effect Arlington, Massachusetts
Intentional / emotional / impactful Boston indie rock band led by vocalist/guitarist Elliot Page.
The music of The
Forest Effect is an interplay of light and dark tones, like capturing the way the late-afternoon light filters through the layers of the forest. They’ve been described as “if the guys from Dismemberment Plan met up at Wilco’s loft to play some Pink Floyd and The Black Crowes covers.”
