lyrics

a soft bruise / a swelling wound
a weed-growth / a glowing tomb
a swell of death / a deathly bloom
a life lived in a single room
a dim bulb light's pale hue
i know i've failed you
never-slept / nothing new
in my heart the deathswells grew
//
the embroidery's very nice
i wish to live inside the seams
until then i'll keep flickering
a light that barely gleams
a wisp of foam in the ebbing of the sea
//
i cannot say that i'm anything more
than a lavenderspore in an acrid smokewind
being blown away
smudged mascara on a rainy day

PSA: if there was an album you heard a couple years ago and thought it was ok, listen to it again and you might love it. That's what happened to me with this album. I cannot fathom why it didn't stick with me back then. Same thing happened with Decoherence's Unitarity for that matter. Matten
