I can't get this suicidal Catskill Owl out of my head
I’ve never seen something so regal and majestic just wanna be dead
Surviving on Adderall and Crushes and feeling like I’m 10 feet tall
I’ve never been so alive and in the pocket and so sure I’m gonna fall

Whiskey in a can
A one woman band
I’m a dark matter cat
With my dogs in a pile
Sir there’s no dancing in the aisle

I can’t get this skeleton man off of my mind 
I’m crying and dying and everyone says, "just give it time"
You can call me Darla Monday; it's rain clouds and open fire
Oh and I'll see you next Tuesday; I hate ya, but you keep me inspired

Whiskey in a can
A one woman band
I’m a dark matter cat
With my dogs in a pile
Sir there’s no dancing in the aisle

Rant
I'm drinking wine out of a whiskey bottle
Cherry Licorice night two? Fuck that Brothers
And I heard that Rick Danko used the facilities here once

Get the vinyl in the van after you I see my favorite band at the barn 
I got my girl behind the wheel; she lives in silver spring and my heart
I got my hand around the neck, violent thoughts are sinking; 
Boots on the ground 
It’s that Catskill mountain air; 
It’s a family affair 
Now I’m screaming at bob Dylan’s house

A Breathtaking Trip to That Other Side

A Breathtaking Trip (feat. Bago)

The Adventures of Matte Black is a Gothic Americana band led by Madison Gerish & Daniel Skinner, featuring a rotating line-up of their intrepid traveling friends. Madison's philosophical, vulnerable and disarming lyrics dance with Daniel's subtle yet moving melodies, all while leaving space for their talented caravan of musical comrades. The music is rooted in deep improvisation and an emphasis on being courageous when facing the absurdities of life.
