Deej Gentle Minds is the most beautiful amazing song that tops off an incredible disc. It’s close to a melody used to mess with so its personal too, I couldn’t do anything this beautiful though.. Favorite track: Gentle Minds.

holmestead It was the soundtrack to my 30th/ house-warming party weekend.
It's an all time favourite album of mine and many close family members.
A timeless, underrated classic.

So hard on conversation This shot of observation This child gave me perspective on loss How did this even happen? How do such sad things happen? Two holes overlapping themselves A sun-strained glare with teddy bear in hand The mother shoulders pain as she explains in small words You've become a memory Blessed but cursed by time and life and love I still weep for our daughter How will she remember your handsome face? A bond that can't be broken All there is to do is take her hand And place flowers in the middle of the road

The dark heart of pleasure comes in waves Or sometimes in ripples Could I stop it if I wanted? At midnight the sun rose Bullying the shadows I just want the honesty to come spilling out And drown me Behind the cliché I am truly disappearing As dark thoughts and pleasure Link hands together

Discipline 04:45
Best beware the beat amiss It proves I'm leaking life a little Next year will bring as many highs as lows And her in this house with me Will be a year worth remembering A better life found within some discipline Every vice of every shade would melt away One more day won't hurt at all Ah, but ten years of indulgence will possibly have killed me There are things I'll always want That have cleared a path for me But another story must begin

And from her mouth she barely whispers Wizened thoughts stay her tongue And her words are worth repeating 'How the ash stains my hair' And crawling forth, stealing inches Her shadow in the mud She only hears, she never listens And in the seconds before the crash There's always something that wants to fight back The glaring truth is marked upon you By the ink of his fists And do you think that it's beyond you? And you can't see the wound for the stitch? Belly to the bed, she can see his sleeping head The crack of the door as it breaks in her wake And in the seconds before the crash There's always something that wants to fight back The muscles ache to leave the lair To shake the ashes from her hair
5.
There comes a time when the two Closest of friends have to choose Whether the grudge is enough If they are both worth the love Well, I'll tell you... I know your smell I know your every mood I know your laugh I know your every face I know you, don't you know me?
6.
I've been shown by the shamer how to live The key was under her pillow all the time And holes disappeared Maybe the shaming was done to her in turn Just when I though I'd held off my concern The holes reappeared And through the tears and the will to die Softcock narctics I want to forgive you, after all you've done
7.
Please, take a seat I'm quite aware of the rituals that you keep Take a vow for your friends I'm sure they would've like to have seen the end Make them proud By running and putting your face back in the crows Think of her kiss How long has it been since she touched you on the lips Now millions dead Robbed of the chance to kiss their children's heads A battlefield of captain trips A thousand flies descend to taste the sick and the dead Here, rest your feet Remove yourself from the dangers found in the street You've got your soldiers sent to death Making sure you don't get your fingers wet, hypocrite

Gentle Minds 06:54
Take just what you need There's one more young mouth to feed Prayer making a mockery Bushes and ragweed And lonely people collide Watching lives go by And gentle minds just lose their sight Goodbye, my heart, goodbye So, he turned them into stone Bleeding over the microphone War made him a millionaire Peace makes him the main event Blame came in from both sides No one loves a suicide Baby just lost the top spot Still, at least he had a shot
