[Daniel:]
All to share a gaze upon a window
for which there’s no luxury
of safety, nor opportunity,
nor hope, which you seldom sell me.
To relinquish our dreams under the guise
of a lucky lottery –
how could you spare to inconvenience your comfort?
Could I afford the fear someday?
Could I retain the hope of a false sense?
Are we to swallow a golden dream?
They peer down upon us with
privileged scrutiny.
Eaten alive
Reviving an ageless lie
Eaten alive
An eye for a mind
Eaten Alive
Reviving an ageless lie
Eaten alive
An eye for a mind
A soul for your time
To forget that which we are bled.
To descend, how perfect, we the dead
deliver all our presence.
[Daniel & Kyle:]
I will collapse and never be –
and your will so charitably
given, a life portrayed, displayed
inside a shell which you will never free.
I love the light and shade between Bryan's dirty and Emma's forlorn vocals. There are so many layers to this recording that are driven home through contrast. Plus the riffs are brilliant and get me moving. I can't stop listening to Thou and Emma in general lately. spaceman2250
