lyrics

we’ll drag you out into the light, quiet like the vines
what are you afraid of, if you really have nothing to hide?
better beasts with bigger bones, birds that never fly
can’t show our children what’s crowded under concrete skies

blood and stone, split down the spine
a diamond blade to stretch your eyes

much madness is divinest sense
much sense starkest madness

hungry hawks spare the dogs, dreaming lidless sleep
hem and hiss a venom kiss to keep them sick
money honey thick and muddy humming on my tongue
lawless swell, what grows too large must devour itself

blood and stone, skin like mine
a diamond blade to stretch your eyes

much madness is divinest sense
much sense starkest madness

oily machines like swarms of bees buzzing
the lions now outside the screens hunting
the right way round twists upside down, they’re pointing at you

much madness is divinest sense
much sense starkest madness

A wild collection of songs with so much emotion, I have to skip Welly Boots at times because apparently it's not acceptable to sit there and cry at work. kavouri
