lyrics
Crush the skeleton beneath your fingers
Shatter his bones
Break the silence or let it linger
Something he owns
Can you be a big deal without the numbers?
Don't follow me home
Come from a line of hand wringers
With a grip that lets him know I plan to be alone
Am I in danger of losing who I am
To the stranger in work down white vans
Told me this would backfire (Ooo)
Tread is low on your tires (Ooo)
Says her thanks to dying roots as they constrict her
Ankles and wrists
Honey drips along the tongue of a constrictor
Sweetens the lisps
Finding where teeth turn to splinters when you're
Dusting for prints
Come from a line of hand wringers
With a grip that lets him know I plan to be alone
Am I in danger of losing who I am
To the stranger in work down white vans
Told me this would backfire (Ooo)
Tread is low on your tires (Ooo)
Jealous of catastrophe the boredom's got the best of me
when carpet burns feel numb and dissolve into my skin
I let it sink in I let it sink in to the rest of me
so all of me feels the dull ache of my tendencies breathlessly
making up for lost irrevery slipping past the pleasantries
finding firsthand your residue to be resiny leftovers of your legacy
or else your lethargy your blurry lines and blindsides
your appetite for revelry
Am I in danger of losing who I am
To the stranger in work down white vans
Told me this would backfire (Ooo)
Tread is low on your tires (Ooo)
Told me this would backfire (Ooo)
Tread is low on your tires (Ooo)

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
