CROOKED TOWN
V1-
Photos on the shelf
crooked town out on the coast
a crooked town
The love you
miss the most,
skeletons of your old self
in a crooked town
PRE-CH -
I've been waiting all this time
I've been waiting all this time
CHORUS –
There’s a way you look at me
Tells me all I need to know
And there’s a way I talk to you
Reminding you of someone you used to know better
Baby it’s time to go from this place
We call home
V2-
Burying bones
we left alive
Crooked path full of cemetery ghosts
And skeleton roads
Root down, your family's town
With each year - your first step - it's harder to take
From this crooked town

All Eyes
V1
Hiding your hands
And the nails you’ve been biting
All the dirt left you scared to death
C1
All I - I’m asking for
All eyes - Turn away
V2
Step nervous outside
You look like you just started smoking
Oh – oh
Conscious of every breath
C2
All I - I’m asking for
All eyes - Turn away
Bridge
Sick of the demands
Who’s on the list who shouldn’t be invited
I’ll be the last car in line for your funeral
C3
All I - I’m asking for
All eyes - Turn away (x2)
(The Forest Effect. Lyrics - E. Page)

Gun Metal Ride
V1-
Right behind my brightest eyes
In a cabinet made of blood and bone
Thought I'd call up names to match the faces
As if I filed my past away
Thought I knew this sleepy hollow
But I've never been all that organized
CH-
Look back down the shoreline
Seems to stretch a lifetime
Tell yourself it’s alright
Like a lost summertime
It’s just a lost summertime
V2-
She arched her back against the bar
Down to her heel it’s forming a line
She’s hoping the hills can offer her more
She gets behind the wheel of her gun metal ride
In Silver Lake she hides her past life
Along the arc of a shooting star
(The Forest Effect. Lyrics - E. Page)

CITY WALLS
V1
Baby you're not sitting this one out
Not after suffering for all this time
Baby let's set fire to the night
V2
Hear us marching on DC lights
Now there's nothing I shouldn’t say
Let's burn it down in the light of the day
CH
Oh-oh
The walls of the city alight
I wanna see it shake
Oh-oh, city walls
Bend or you’re gonna break, like the last time
I’m not holding my breath in
We wanna see it shake, oh-oh
V3
Fill the sky with your blackest of blues
Now you're leaving your sick and yellow bruise
We won't soon forget about you
V4
Shining on with your darkest of lights
You always seem to know when you’re right
Show us someone who can galvanize

The Forest Effect Arlington, Massachusetts
Intentional / 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.”
