"Cradlesong" lyrics
"Cradlesong"
I thud on a drum
Barely a span long
The rough barrel-beat
Was my cradlesong
You ask why I keep still
Why I don't pour it out into the night
You know
You know if it rises and floats
It effaces every piece of light
Foreign what my lips say
Foreign my hair, my dress
Foreign what your eyes ask
About this strangeness
You ask why I keep still
Why I don't pour it out into the night
You know
You know if it rises and float
It effaces every piece of light
When scream masses on wound
I want to meet you
When the great testimony
From your branches trickles down
Here my soul grows
'Til it smashes
Above the scene, the balcony

When I knocked upon the door
That August afternoon
Through the kitchen, down the stairs
I found you waiting there
Your hair had grown
On Hazel Street

My Brightest Diamond - "I Am Not The Bad Guy" Mister mister, won't you please
Spare me from your third degree
I could burn, I could scream
I could show you what I mean
I'm so thirsty I divest
All unbuttoned and undressed
I've become the bad...
Agnes Obel - "Dorian" They won't know who we are
So we both can pretend
It's written on the mountains
A line that never ends
As the devil spoke we spilled out on the floor
And the pieces broke and the people wanted more...
