They say it doesn’t get cold how it used to, but I'm colder and colder
Stripped trees, the ground red and golden
Sky clear, crisp, clean
Sun out but the moon's still there tracking over my shoulder
Breath frozen, James Lofton
Words live in the air, books is coffins
She scorned him
Saw it coming but I didn’t care, unstoppable forces
We was young, we ran like horses
It's another painting hidden under the portrait
I won for every nxxxa who had to forfeit
Dumbed out, I wasn't smart enough to quit
Afternoons, wander the catacombs
Tomes lined the room
Every room a tomb, every shelf hoarding doom
I kissed her in the stacks under the biblioteca
Just once
Tasted like sweet peppers and blunts, peppermint gum

Nah, but I love woods’ alternate artwork. Known Unknowns my fav

Wish you could switch album covers on Spotify

Convinced the cover’s part of the reason I didn’t fully fw Mt Marci

It’s a real thing bro, I hate terrible covers
I just found a HD of that artwork in 900x900 with a reverse image search, looking much better in my iTunes already

The Mt. Marci one grew on me just like the album, I think the vinyl variant is terrible though personally even though most seem to prefer it

Same what do you think about the Reasonable Drought cover? I know it gets clowned, but I love it

That’s the move

Idk I think the art direction has been dreadful either way for Mt man shoulda handled it himself

I f***ing hate it! I can’t look at it in my iTunes i actually f*** with cooks for the most part and like the album but it needs a vinyl release with an alternate artwork so bad!

Another one I can’t look at is the chalice by woods

Awful bro, probably didn’t catch the edit, but the chalice by Billy woods is same category
