You enter right on cue, you always come running
The subtle violence of self and control
Hold out your arms and pull me in
Violent hearts silently searching
For a way to hold their breath
Long enough to cleanse all their sins
I tried to find the line, to leave something behind for you
A letter or a song
Remember the words
Hold out your arms and pull me in
Violent hearts silently searching
For a way to hold their breath
Long enough to cleanse all their sins
I once knew a wretched shell of a man
Awoken by something he could not explain
Forgiven the sins of his past
Pulled up from the floor and healed of his pain
And as he grew stronger he sang
Of beauty and love, forgiveness and grace
His foot on the throat of another
Who wanted the same, but wasn’t the same.
He wasn’t the same.
Shoegaze, post-rock, black metal, dark ambient: if it's gloomy and surreal, you'll find it on the Arizona outfit's excellent second LP. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 14, 2022
