Twins
03:15
|
|||
|
Don't wake the twins, they want to sleep for evermore
But sleep is wasted, time for our task will never end
One is angry, she tries to write with inkless pen
Dead one needs her, anger's light is brighter here
Dreams that wake twins stain the crib with cold sweat
It won't help them, anger is the way to heal the debt
Seeing nowhere left to go, they vow to return to sleep

Thin Air
03:30
|

|
Floating head upon a sea
My eyes are street scenes
Look at them when I am dead
Beyond green grass she sees as mud
Over bridge and tallest mountain
Conviction took me past breathing point and I choked on
thin air, thin air, thin air
False eyes true lies I'll
She has false eyes Play
Tell her true lies Along
False eyes true lies
False eyes true lies I'll
She has false eyes Play
Tell her true lies Along
She has false yes

Quietly Safe
04:57
|
|||
|
If you are scares you will be spared from they daylight's burn ever again
Quietly quietly safe
Quietly quietly safe
You will know not the pain of your suffering
From it's existence you will be hid
To have an enemy will keep you safe
Unite us all in the fight
Keeping us
Keeping us safe
Quietly quietly safe
Until one day the farce explains, the monsters within our night are to remain
Then worlds collide
Your quest will be questioned
From sorrow you can run no longer
But it always raps you over knuckles
Attacks your gut and throws you down to drown you…

Running Water
05:46
|

|
Run into space
Where once I lived
Where I was sweet before
Can love her, please more
Light, I saw it
I never knew that I,
Yes I
Had a place before
Running water running through and running still and running forward
Running water still, running fast and slow
And running water running still and running water fast and water running still,
Running fast and slow
And I am running fast
And I am running still and running fast
And I am running still and running fast
And I am running forward
I know I found it here
Where once i lived
You see it was here
You knew where to go
If you hadn't you'd have been lost forever within

Crippled
03:56

I crippled his head,
three months of pain,
almost drove insane
I killed him the woman she said
I pulled the rope 'round his neck
I pulled the rope 'round his neck she said
From supportive to silent breath it was
I who caused his death, he would not speak of manhood's doubts
I pulled the rope 'round his neck
I pulled the rope 'round his neck she said
I crippled his head three months of pain, almost drove insane
I killed him, the woman she said
I killed him, the woman she said
I pulled the rope 'round his neck
I pulled the rope around his neck she said

Stained Glass Colours
05:14
|
|||
|
Plastic bag's the same as breathing
But I forgot about the blood
She forgot about the love
And I watched it wash like mud
Once the flood of tears from evil men turned into spears
my side was slashed, gashed and torn broke
Violent vinegar filled a mouth
Stained glass colours and cellular rainbows
Then voice did turn to child's
Even though more wisdom did show than
that she would ever admit
Still divide was inevitable
Stained glass colours of our lives show what happened with our divide
One has fallen and got up again
But she is falling away my friend
Stained glass colours and cellular rainbows

What Have You (Nonesuch)
03:57
|
|||
|
Hold me, hold me aside yes
Hold me, yeah holds me inside
Hold me, yeah holds me inside
She holds me
Holds me alive
Hold me, hold me inside yes
Hold me, keep me alive
Hold me yeah
Hold me alive
Hold me, keep me aside

Illustration of Regret
05:45
|
|||
|
I, oh I, know you meant it not
It's plain to see,
But you, you won't see, how this goes
You know it not from the other side
From here you look down to where your pride lies
We've seen the biggest one thrown
Through a canvas of supposed happiness
Atop battlements of pressure
Tonight it'll hurt your side
This veil of sabotage
Marking the colour of the scene
Smeared with red and black hues from the pit of your stomach
From the bottom of your fear
A long way from how you got here
Your hand run through his being like water paint
Dripping down a page
Fear a stain not
Can't find words to tell you it's OK
You should know, you know you know you've been here before
The tears are only pain escaping from you
The tears are only pain escaping from you
The tears are only pain letting you out
The tears are only pain, only pain, only pain, only pain
Darkness paints across your face and hides your view
You do not have to succumb to blind panic oh
But not all that is lost is not something you gained

Holding My Breath Again
06:30
|
|||
|
Finally heard from you the other day
It was great
You said you don't believe in what I am
You share my fear best
Not like the others
Don't know why they left it there, don't know
Don't know
They ask me not for they don't know
My world or that it connects to their's
We used to live in the same world
Now it's divided by good old fear
Locked numbers and door keys invade their heads
While mine utterly refuses them
For fear of losing what I am
Must get past doubt and to the top again
You ask me not for they don't know
Don't care to
Oh, but you!
Oh how could you know,
How could you know
That I was holding my breath again?
Holding my breath again
Holding my breath again
Holding, holding, holding,
Holding

Stunning album and artist. Dark love. The best dark vibes in genre. I prefer the first works because they are darker than the last. We're waiting for her come back. Get well soon.
