lyrics

I gave all I had to a fantasy
Now my only desire is to quiet my mind
My future will never appeal to anyone
When I'm alone in my chair
I swear
Never again
Will I trust anyone

Fear is defined when your back's against the wall
Nobody wants to admit they're wrong
We all want to win
Without confidence
Without trust
Love is counterfeit

Fear decides who's wrong or right
Where do you think your lover goes
When you're gone
Where do you think those lips end up?
It's you against your heart

Don't you ever stop to wonder why you always windup alone
Because your value is low
Don't you question why you sexualize death
She reminds you of home
While life keeps breaking your heart

Came on the back of the magazine
My only desire is to have no desire
All I want is to stop breathing
I'm down on my knees
I suck it down...suck it down

Without conflict
Without pain
Love is saccharine

Fear provides an active interest

Compared to what you're going through
It's a thrill
Scared of where you might end up
A weight against your heart

It doesn't seem like anything will ever change for me
At least not in a way that I can feel
Something went wrong
I never wanted to feel
This paranoid or this paralyzed
Everyone I love...lies

Don't you ever stop to wonder why you always windup alone
It's because you don't value yourself
Don't you question why you sexualize death
She seduces you slowly
While living tears you apart

One of the most unsettling albums i have heard in a while. Chat Pile creates a grotesque blend of noise and groove that brings me back everytime. scarface6204

May Our Chambers Be Full
by Emma Ruth Rundle & Thou

supported by 67 fans who also own “If Life is a Gift, It's in Very Poor Taste”

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
