You, said your life was empty
Oh but these arms are here for eternity
And your family, full of dread
Lay poisoned, in their beds
It’s not your fault, it’s just the way you were bred
Oh all these lies beneath the cross
Oh, stab your eyes out
It’s sight you lost
And the sickened, and unwed
With their cats and candles around their beds
If you’re alone, it’s o.k. if that’s how it ends
Can you take me, down to the water
Can you lead me, straight under
Oh your eyes, cold and serene
In this watery dream
And your family, full of dread
Lay poisoned, in their beds
It’s not your fault, it’s just the way you were bred
This is a totally mesmerizing album. It;s really special, and feels like a beautiful melancholic painting (if that makes any sense). Amongst singer-songwriters, very few have such a distinctive style of there own. richardschouten
