lyrics

She gave a look like snow amongst the coal
Her colour high and dark red
And all I could think was, whose finger is on the switch
The smouldering girl or her god?

Who left her here with all the crippled minds?
A ghost of young flesh and bone and walls
She sings along to the songs she's learned from birth
One ancient hand over her mouth and eyes

The worlds needs it's girls and it boys
To follow the truth where it lurks
If it's hard or unfair
Well, at least we know we're not fools anymore

She took a breath and the scent was sweet to taste
Her lifelong sleep of doubt now past
Until I pass through, at least there's one disease
My poor heart won't need to bear

The whole wants it's parts to ignore
The venomous words raining down
Like the guns of the past
Or the gods that we made to explain why we're here
But we no longer need to pretend we don't understand
Why our days come and go
Why there's life or why there're starts
Casting their glow where they will
We must search for the truth
And find joy in the years that we have to be here

Favorites! Close your eyes, put on your best headphones and crank it up. Echoes is mind blowing in its power and beauty. That rest is great but wow....I can’t get over that first song. Make more music! Deej

Generally speaking I like anything Mike Vennart is a part of. I don't listen to this as often as the Vennart albums, but I still recommend it to Oceansize fans. berobbi
