1.
show me how fast you can dance one, two, three and I'll take the chance four, five, six and I'll hit the floor and call as I'm crying out for more //I'm just a shadow //in a room full of giants //I'm just a plaything //in the arms of your science //I'm just a shadow tonight //I'm just a shadow tonight you know I spin over you you know I'm in over my head over you you know and I know I sin over you stick it out and take it on the chin over you
2.
Set You Free 03:51
what you need here in your heart I see is the strength to lay me down and bury me baby I ain't gonna let you go no matter how many times you leave me low //come on baby and //take my hand //lead me away from this //cold and bitter land //come on baby //wait right here with me //come on baby I'll //never set you free we were married in the summer heat I lay flowers down here at your feet the tree that broke away my flesh and bone left me dreaming here, so far from my home
3.
I'm cracking like brown eggshells I'm cracking like morning bells //and Jesus don't feel the same way about me //Jesus he don't want me to run wild and free I'm breaking like windowpanes I'm breaking like morning rains I'm falling like winter ice I'm falling on deaf ears like a mother's advice //and Jesus don't feel the same way about me //Jesus he don't want me to run wild and free //Jesus don't want to see me walking on his golden floor //and Jesus don't feel the same way anymore I'm breaking like windowpanes I'm breaking like morning rains
4.
I'm buried in your sense of belonging and your passion's dripping off my chin I'll hold your face underwater until I wash away your guilt and your sin //darling, why are you crying //don't you know this is God's country //if you know what is good for you //oh my sweet baby //I sleep with my pistol //here under your pillow //and your sense of the truth remembering your sense of compassion it don't make you any less of a ghost carrying your days here inside you until you leave behind what you love most
5.
Anymore 02:55
innocence my only inheritance and all I find are the sounds of your silence where you can sleep under the blanket of light spilled out across constellations //well I'm not scared //and I'm not beholden to you //anymore //anymore and we alone remain fading away into their eyes into the mist into the mist of their nights
6.
What it Felt 03:19
take me into the arms of your love and your silence take me under the knife of your wisdom and your mercy take away all of the peace passing all my understanding take me home take me home //we put our bowls out //to catch all the raindrops //we light both candles //and wait til the pain stops //I crushed my hand with your //hammer to see //to see how it was //what it felt to be free I never cared about the choices you make I only bleed in the places you break whenever I see your face in the sun it only keeps me from turning to run and I never turn from the way that you breathe I only learn from the way that you move beneath me beneath me
7.
Winter 04:04
your winter claws in me in your dress of evergreen my fingers they scratch at the memory the memory your cries rain over me in your robe of earth and sea my fingers they scratch and seek to please baby please //if you lay your hands on me //I will resist you bitterly //or just let me be //let me be you've got blood on your fingers you've got dirt all over your face and you make my blood boil over clean your fingers in my disgrace //if you lay your hands on me //I will thank you bitterly //or just let me be //let me be

about

The drums [were] the first thing I noticed listening to Silence. Pulsating, pounding a persistent invitation to report to the dance floor. Layered on top of those infectious drums are strong melodies that flow effortlessly. Your ears will insist you’ve heard this before…maybe Interpol or early U2 but no, you haven’t heard it in this incarnation...
