Description: "Sudden Oak Death" is the story of a real disease that has plagued most of the forests in Northern California and parts of Oregon.

lyrics

There is a hole in the pit of my stomach
Where the birds come to die
And the moths have no escape
My eyes can't see the light
The dark swallows the sun

Sudden Oak Death
Sudden Oak Death

Underneath this tragic oak
My arms embrace the branches
The cankers bleed down my chest
The forest prepares for dieback

The roots dig into my sight
The soil collapses the inside of my lungs

Sudden Oak Death
Sudden Oak Death
