lyrics
black painted bells
in the rubble
it caught her eye
in that summer that beastley july
out in the devil town
combing the ruins
my sister and I
when the flood was gone
and left the land dry
searching for food
in abandoned shacks
collecting papers
and old coloured glass
and there my heart
was left in the grass
with this world forever broken
you and I would always raise a glass and give a token
to the peace that is our home
we settled to a little house
near a river where I fished for trout
the grass grew high up to your mouth
but you were just a girl of seven
who only knew of heaven
I was a boy of seventeen
I was hunting birds in the evergreens
I left you playing by the stream
you must've wandered past the hollow
where I warned you not to follow
when I came back the night had come
and I found out exactly what I'd done
you were lost and without the sun
it was impossible to find you
no trail left behind you
ten times hell I feel the shame
no one else can take the blame
I'd throw myself into the flames
if that would only just absolve me
her face revolves around me and tells me everything
in the rubble
it caught her eye
in that summer that beastley july
out in the devil town
combing the ruins
my sister and I
when the flood was gone
and left the land dry
searching for food
in abandoned shacks
collecting papers
and old coloured glass
and there my heart
was left in the grass
with this world forever broken
you and I would always raise a glass and give a token
to the peace that is our home
we settled to a little house
near a river where I fished for trout
the grass grew high up to your mouth
but you were just a girl of seven
who only knew of heaven
I was a boy of seventeen
I was hunting birds in the evergreens
I left you playing by the stream
you must've wandered past the hollow
where I warned you not to follow
when I came back the night had come
and I found out exactly what I'd done
you were lost and without the sun
it was impossible to find you
no trail left behind you
ten times hell I feel the shame
no one else can take the blame
I'd throw myself into the flames
if that would only just absolve me
her face revolves around me and tells me everything

With Darkness In My Eyes
by The Heavy HorsesYeah I made the album art, but also it is very very well done album, production is pure opulence. Justin Mahoney is a true gent.
