Smashed glass in rusting fields
Barbed wire left rotting in the breeze
Any river that runs down from those hills could wash away all living sins
Deserted churchyards full of prayer, love, hate & halleuljahs
A whisper echoes down the Moors as a bleak reminder of the past
Footprints that lead to Nothing
A few thousand souls so cheaply sold
Dance around a bonfire on a hill, sparked by a car stuck in a ditch
Shotguns and balaclavas
Grey winds that grab you by the neck
Hushed voices decorate the bars that you can't enter on your own

Sparkly Deathtrap
03:02
|

|
A purpose for living, insisting a difference to any premature endings
Casts out a reach, yeah these things tend to in dreams and it's a feeling any heaven would envy
A shot at perfection and lifelong regret casting shadows that reach the same length
My pupils dilate as I follow a path in the direction of a sparkly deathtrap
A sparkly deathtrap, a split second chance and my lips tremble fast as I breathe
My fingernails dig into the skin of my palm and my tongue threads the cracks of my teeth

Paper Cuts
04:24

|
Underneath a darkened sky, through daydreams dressed in black and white
Car-less roads, abandoned homes, satanic mills unentered
Emptiness clung to the heart can't help but cause a longing for desires that only danger brings, a hazardous excitement
That burning heather twice as harsh as any sun half torn apart
The grass between the fingers
The blood rush from the paper cuts
Dare to stare for far too long
That hazy dream like setting sun
A vision once so beautiful that leaves you stranded in the darkness
Vivid recollections form and hurtle violently aside
Visions of a life played out in some far out exotic land
Heart rate quickens, sweating at the threat that this could happen yet
A mind inventing memories to make these pictures realistic
That burning heather twice as harsh as any sun half torn apart
The grass between the fingers
The blood rush from the paper cuts
Dare to stare for far too long
That hazy dream like setting sun
A vision once so beautiful that leaves you stranded in the darkness
