lovepsy this album and the band music have a bit of mazzy star vibe to it. the songs well written, a dark tales and poetry with suprising guitar distortions, which its always a good mixture.
the songs arreangment in this album leading the listners into the stories. the vocal preformance of this musical couple is electrfying and hipnotizing. overall its a great album and very intresting band to follow thier next move. Favorite track: Lashes.

Olya Amazing lyrics each telling a story in a rich dark fairytale-like language, hypnotic rhythmic music. I haven't heard anything THAT good for awhile. Best album of 2016 for me. Favorite track: The Back Of My Eyes.

Oh Jesus Christ it went and happened again I got to thinking that my world’s gonna end A burning building at the back of my eyes Just to remind me I don’t wanna die Oh baby tell me quick oh what do I do If my heart stopped beating what if it didn’t move All these ridiculous things I believe Might just come true if I forget to breathe I know it’s over and over been said It’s just the panic that is in your head You’re alright man nothing is wrong One day it’s here and another it’s gone Come on I line my demons up in single file I put my blessings all in one big pile I strike a match and I set fire to them I strike ‘em down so I can start again Some place slower and some place new Always with style and always with you Sometimes my fears tend to set me free Kinda like electricity

Listen up close Listen here now Let me lay something on you What if I told you you’re just a ghost You’re just a fleeting apparition of solitude What if I said from your heels to your head From your limbs to your chin to your ego You’re an animal now A wolf on the prowl You can be anything you want if you let go It’s at the bottom of the well you’ve forgotten That you let run dry Find it in the air so scarce and fair In all you deny Life is a struggle Love is a rose Growing steady under my eyelids Love is the rubble through which I row To get safely to your island And you are the sky My will to survive You are the chain gang keeping my blood pumping You are the repetition The superstition You are the proposition keeping my sails thumping It’s at the bottom of the well you’ve forgotten That you let run dry Find it in the air so scarce and fair In all you deny You see it in the seeds of the love you bleed All over the ground It’s in the stones in the marrow in the bones It’s all around Darling you keep my soul from falling Darling when I hear your voice a-calling me Sweetheart you’ve taken care of my heart Sweetheart you’ve taken care of my thoughts too

You stick your finger down the throat of the thing That showed you how to move taught you how to sing You’re not too old but you ain’t that young Keep your one eye on the moon the other on the sun Your fingers twitching but your hands are tied Something so good has been pushed to the side Your body’s reeling for what it used to be A soul that’s light and a heart that’s free Open your eyes it’s getting away Make up your mind sink into today Time is a traitor Time is a saint Time is a train and it just won’t wait I’ve got a feeling that I just can’t shake All this revealing intuition won’t break I’ll burn my expectations at the stake And burst apart before it’s too late Open your eyes it’s getting away Make up your mind sink into today Time is a traitor Time is a saint Time is a train and it just won’t wait

My father once built me a beautiful shell I could crawl back inside it Avoid all the crowds My mother once told me My darling Lu You’re no better than anyone They’re no better than you They’re no better than you Well perhaps she’s right And perhaps it’s true ‘Cause I feel pretty bad and they seem pretty blue All marching in lines Fiercely shaking our heads Quite sure we don’t like it But afraid it will end So let’s spin in circles And let’s throw back our heads Then fall down beside me love And we’ll stand up again And we’ll fall down again Are we all the same? Just the same sane fools Frightened by love and in love with our rules I wanna be loved for my beautiful blue I want you to show me the blue within you

Lucy 04:52
Darling, I gotta say before I go There’s something that I just want you to know You know you really fucked me up when you left just as you came Now I’m trying but I think I might never be the same I felt it in my gut, it’s in my bones Honey, stop using your head - it’s making you cold You say you’re feeling rough, you say you’re feeling old Come on start a fire, stop doing what you’re told Oh Lucy don’t you cry You’re still the only light in my eye Well the moon fell from the sky and the river’s run dry You know everything good went away when you said goodbye Baby, don’t be sad, don’t feel so blue Don’t be mad - have you really thought this through? We both know by now this is the only thing to do No love is better than the love I never knew You’re crazy darling, listen to what you say Are you really gonna throw this all away? You know I still think about you every single day I sleep with one eye open waiting for you to come back to say Oh Lucy don’t you cry You’re still the only light in my eye Well the moon fell from the sky and the river’s run dry You know everything good went away when you said goodbye

E.V.I.L 03:19
I wrote a letter to my love I'm not sure that he ever really got it I wrote a letter to my love Perhaps it slipped out the back of his pocket I shaped the weather for my love 'Cause I know she likes to dance out in the thunder I shaped the weather for my love Well I guess that she was stuck in under cover Broken promises The state of all of this And all I know forgiveness is for the weak Can you see it? Can you feel it? From the bruises on your belly to the scar on your cheek I sent a feather to my love Thought that maybe it fell out one of her wings I sent a feather to my love Sent it up there to her nest of shiny things Broken promises The state of all of this And all I know forgiveness is for the weak Can you see it? Can you feel it? From the bruises on your belly to the scar on your cheek E.V.I.L We know you well

Thunder that sings to a blank sky Covers that pull over wide eyes Dead coals that give off smoke Lover i think something’s burning The ocean takes shelter on dry land Commotion in need of a warm hand Forbidden fruit taking root Lover could something be turning Oh pretty darling, it’s just a matter of time The trees are aligned and they’re showing the way Deeper and deeper and deeper they say Beauty, bliss, unconsciousness I took a drink from the glycerine sky Fed on the fever of crystalline tides A lock to a key, the last leaf on the tree Lover there’s someone deserving Oh pretty darling, it’s just a matter of time ‘Til we all go falling down to the other side Underneath my well-thought-out disguise My lungs are two jars of fireflies It keeps me alive Puts sting in my stride You cut me deep with your razor wire legs Into my chest where you laid your eggs It makes my heart beat Keeps me on my feet Wakes me from sleep My carnivorous creep Lover is something concerning? Oh pretty darling, it’s just a matter of time ‘Til we all go falling down to the other side So let’s get together Let’s go on down the track You can bring anything You can wear anything Anything, as long as it’s black

Lashes 05:29
Tonight my mind is going travelling Back in time just a couple of years To a girl with sleeves unravelling Lightning bolts hanging from ears Told me she lives in the ashes Where the mountainside burns slow And with the flames final lashes She’d pick up all her things and go For days on end the fire ravaged As I lay there in her arms Dissected secrets of the universe She told me how to keep from harm Shed all of your clothes Step into the water alone Feel the weight disappear from your bones Drift above while below The tide carries you home So the breath you stubbornly hold Can finally let go When the sky finally cracked open Weeping the wild pyre clean Sure as the sun sets in mourning She was nowhere to be seen If by chance one day you meet her Know your time it will be brief Forever echoes in your head now Of the words she spoke so sweet Shed all of your clothes Step into the water alone Feel the weight disappear from your bones Drift above while below The tide carries you home So the breath you stubbornly hold Can finally let go

Alone 03:40
I bite my tongue just to cough it up I count my blessings just to slander my luck I’m feeling good but I want it to stop Kinda like it at the bottom Wanna get to the top I just wanna be alone I just wanna be on my own It doesn’t mean that I love you less Honey, I’m just trying to do my best For you Well I’ve spent most my life in a beautiful place Now I spend most my time feeling unsafe My lines are blurred My fingers crossed I feel right at home I feel completely lost I just wanna be alone I just wanna be on my own It doesn’t mean that I love you less Honey, I’m just trying to be my best For you Giving up and giving in What’s there to do but do it all over again

Mama, what’s wrong? You’re acting like your world gone cracked Tell me how, how am I supposed to act? When all my life I’ve never known you like that Mama, I know you get lonely sometimes You feel a little low – you’re just a victim of the times You gotta let go – rest your aching mind ‘Cause I know – Mama you’ll be fine Mama, it’s true you give ore than you take Next to you everyone seems so fake And it makes you blue – you’re all along in this state It’s nothing new – you’ve always been the one who waits Mama, take your pills – is all that they say Switch ‘em up if you don’t like ‘em that way A little pick me up at the end of the day A little fixer-up to keep the demons at bay Everything comes and goes, moves fast and slow We go up and down, get by somehow From side to side, our minds they slide Our souls alone, in our hearts confide
