Down the Hall

I never said I could be counted on
I never thought that I could count on you
Saw the thin ice that we were walking on
Saw through the mirror that you call your truth
There is a place to be nervous
There is a time to be sad
But that place isn't here
And that time isn't now
Snake.
My big mistake.
There's little fingers underneath my skin
They don't belong to me
The just pick pick pick pick pick pick pick at me
Echoes
Down the hall
And growing light

In the stairs
In the street
Don’t let the boy go hungry because he needs to eat
Eat Eat Eat man all you do is eat
I am wet cement
I am hungry, I am thirsty, I am starving have your bread
Eat Eat Eat man all you do is eat
Here is my flesh folded neat
Have your drink
Have your fill
Pig I’ll find you
Pig I’ll Kill

Wretched Swan

I’ll never see through the beast
I’ll never lay with those who lie
They don’t know why they’ve come
It’s all wretched swan
I don’t know why you’ve come to me
It’s all wretched son
I don’t know what you’ll grow to be
I’ll never be your chosen one
You won’t know why you needed me
It’s all wretched swan

Ash
04:40

It glitters just outside your vision
Pretty little thing
It calls just around the corner
Tricky little thing
It burns, it burns, it burns
But we just don't learn
The hope is gone
Flitting through the air
Like ashes in our fingers
They linger
They disappear
I tried, tried to just ignore it
It wouldn't go away
I put my head into the gallows
Hoping love would stay
It burns, it burns, it burns
But we just don't learn
The hope is gone
Flirting through the air
Like ashes in our fingers
They linger
They disappear
You
You
You just walk away

Slow Like Water
04:26
|

|
Come home
Your home is here with me
Come see
Slow down
Just lie here next to me
Just be
Bring me down, slow like water
Down down down
Lay me down, at your alter
Drown drown drown
Sink in
Your shiny marble teeth
Gleaming
Step back
I feel like I can't breathe
Can't breathe
Go now
I feel like I can't breathe
Can't breathe
Slow down
Just bleed me out softly
Slowly

Wrapped In Sheets
03:49
|

|
Halfway down there will be a garden with no soil
Nothing to grow no sweet fruit no wind to blow
Eyes have closed
Won’t have any mouths to feed
No slippery tongue
Soft bleak bitter teeth
It’s a long way down to the other side
It’s a long, long wait for nothing
You’ll wade into black waters wrapped in sheets
How long is your death?
How long is resting meat?
It’s a long way down to the other side
It’s a long, long wait for nothing

Soma like complacence
Only reproduced through infinite refusal to see
What great fools are we
What great fools are we
Repent my skin
You see it's just too thin
You see I'm just begging
For release
For release
Show me the consequence to go on
Show me, tell me
Tell me how we got here in the first place
Show me, tell me
Every insult
Like skeletons in mass graves
Sitting right behind our tired eyes
Tell me how I shed my skin
Only to just settle in
Only to conform to
To conform
Same mistakes, I repeat
Clumsy on my puppet feet
Watch me now, watch me now

Cat Skull (Redux)
02:37
|

|
Yours is farther away than mine
Bars on the windows
Bars aside
Keep them away
No help at all
Darkest dark it shows the time
Deserts between them shadows lies
No way out
No way out

Fleeting Thing

Wait it's only a dream
Wait it's only a dream
It was just a fleeting thing
Wait it's only a dream
Run run runnin sideways whoa
Run run runnin backwards whoa
Run run run in circles whoa
And I'm getting nowhere
And I'm gaining nothing
Wait it's only a mirage
Wait it's only a mirage
It was just a passing sickness
Wait it only a mirage
Run run runnin sideways whoa
Run run runnin backwards whoa
Run run run in circles whoa
And I'm getting nowhere
And I'm gaining nothing
Wait it's only a dream
Don't look away
And know it was only a dream

The Gold & Silver Sessions
by Elder
supported by 4 fans who also own “Bone and Hoof”
With all respect due to Nick DiSalvo, who is incredibly talented, the proggy vocals are not what I love the most with Elder. What I love the most, I'll admit, is the incredible synthy, krauty goodness, from the track Sonntag on the previous album to the wonderful delving LP Hirschbrunnen. These instrumental Sessions were a major step in that direction, I think, and I love them dearly for it.
