i have fallen too far down
get me out, you're on fire
in the heavy, in the light
when i touch your skin could it make you cry?
met with resistance,
needle in the eye
i don't mind, not so much
the bitter reminder of what came before
stare out the window til it looks like a door
sweet form a distance, do you take a breath?
lover in a coma, vision in a nightdress
you're bored, you're tired
o lord, o savior
you're on fire
i don't mind, not so much
there's something in the wind
and it's not what i'm used to
you found what you love
and you're gonna let it kill you
rise to a flame, o humble spark
you loved me in the day
it was better in the dark
when your hands reached out
but they failed to meet me
imprisoned in the mind
and awakened in the body
some communal sacrifice
bread for the hungry,
flesh of christ
Such good healing energy on this album. Perfect for recovering from surgery. Thoughtful, plaintive, free of kitschy standard rock moves.
Probably still good without the surgery. ;) spencer_huggies
I think it's difficult to write songs about something other than romantic love, and still be able to communicate the intensity with which those feelings can hit a person. Some of the entries on this album are fantastic examples of this niche. dani_bloop

Let it be stated:
rock music needs more harmonies,
keys, and wild beauty.
(Fortunately, this one has it all!)
