lyrics

Maybe she was just trying to save you with her fist full of gravel and your mouth filled with iron. Who could blame her when her belly swelled so unexpectedly?
She keeps a journal just next to her bed where she writes down all her dreams
every morning when she wakes she can write down her hopes for a new day.

The crowd is still,
blending with run down buildings and parked cars.
Blood filled bodies connected through
the projected heat of former days.

Tell me what do you run from? When you know time always catches up,
and I can see the mark she left behind your eyes, oh
I can see the marks he made across your core, oh
I can see the marks you made to follow your vein, oh
She could never show you the ways the she escaped,
her body is fluid now
her heart is cold
The crowd is still,
blending with run down buildings and parked cars.
Blood filled bodies connected through
the projected heat of former days.

Blood spatter on the cracked streets of strangers
lies still as a memory
of a belly that once swelled,
only to cave at the release
only to cave at the release.
As if you never carried me
As if you never carried me.

The Other Half of Everything
by Martin John Henry

At first glance, the landscape on the cover of Martin John Henry’s The Other Half of Everything is a scene of complete isolation. This is Scotland. An archetypal rugged landscape of hills and lochs, as far as the eye can see. On closer inspection, there are some signs of habitation: buildings, roads, farms… but they … Continue reading Album of the Week: The Other Half of Everything → Bandcamp Album of the Day Nov 21, 2011
