Horrible Beautiful

face down in the cold ground
eye-level with dirt
the only legacy he left was
lost days a borrowed shirt
honey, if you want me to...
I'd lose my teeth for you
Tattoo my name across your liver
with a practised, shaking hand
riddled with fragility
I'd pray to anyone
honey, if you want me to...
I'd leave them all for you
One more time
I won't yawn again
I'll sleep again
get warm again
I'm drawing circles on my chest again
I'm yours again
I'm yours again
face down in the cold ground
mouthfuls of earth
the only legacy he left was
just debt and a borrowed suit
honey, if you want me to...
do anything for you

Move Me
04:16
|
|||

"I like to watch"
he says it slowly through his broken teeth
I whisper sweet nothings to no-one
don't need to feel because my eyes are like a god to me
tonight, anyway
oh me, poor me
move me
Play it right, you'll be the last thing
that this pretty vulture sees
tonight, anyway
swap your shakes for shudders
like your friends for lovers
tonight, anyway
I like to watch
Oh, what is this?
I don't know what he keeps inside
but, he's living like
a lightning strike
...at least tonight

Temper
04:55
|
|||
|
Look after that hole in your heart
motionless, not unseen
save up all my sunny days
rival, bring me your love
not your temper
I felt just like I did when we burned the circus down
you hate me now
just because I can't bring myself to change
your ideas are just so...
I'm ashamed now to be myself
oh, I know...I hide it well
underneath my temper

Now You're Gone
03:55
|
|||
|
One of us will lay here one day
at home inside the ground
there's a shadow in the kitchen
shaped like you
I reminisce about the sweet beginning
as I curse the bitter end
she doesn't even have the grace to sleep like you
Now you're gone
I find myself holding on
to the memory of you
that I embellish
more and more
as time goes on
now you're gone

Leper Captain
05:03
|
|||
|
captain...come
and save me from the daydream
you are the world to me
for fifteen minutes, at least
through the lanes
over the roofs
I will think of you
may my gaze never falter in stoned adoration
until...
I want another leper captain
just don't be without a friend
come on, smell the end
oh, I swear you'd love me drunk
of course I love you
that's why...
I want another leper captain

Machine's Way
06:10
|
|||
|
you speak in your sleep
in a language of your own devising
there's no cause
there's just consequence
and a silence that lives inside your room
I only hung on for you
These wires, that keep me here
just electricity
nothing... compared to you
I feel you here
in darkness,
where could I have gone?
I think I've known you for too long
my escape would be uncertain now
I twist in your arms
now your kisses
how they burn my throat
and scar my face.
I only hung on for you

Soothe
04:03
|
|||
|
Treat yourself to a hole in the ground
and learn to idolise the fiction
of different writers over decades
strange...this is so familiar...yeah
Shapes pulled like sleeplessness from page
I breathe your name on glass in secret
did you burrow so deep you'll never die?
zealot...this is too familiar...yeah
subterranean, I'm the king of my dirt
snake-oil salesman
soothe the holy-water burn
your idol was drawn in dying colours
when you're gone you make no more mistakes
though he lived capable of anything
his last words? "I'm not built for this"

Bury Us Seperately
05:48
|
|||
|
I reject your child and mysticism
stab me here, where my heart used to be
on a shelf inside your room
I was jealous of it's view
This isn't lonely, I've been here before
this is just a swinging bulb
and a hardwood floor
...but it used to be my home
oh, I believe you now
You're where my heart used to be
You resented the currency of the lost
they gave you pounds of flesh until the penny dropped
but it dropped
through the night, heavy with rain
it's not much use...but no-one's haunting you
I'm where your heart used to be

Augustus
04:08
|

|
Augustus came, he still gets headaches
split him right in two...if they could
Iron studs and a cane
it's all that keeps me sane
all that keeps me sane
...if that's what it is
kids got sick down in the basement
chained up to the wall in good faith
a lying tongue and the shame
it's all that keeps me sane
all that keeps me sane
...if that's what it is

Ectropian
05:33
|

|
It's hot as sleep in here
I cry through broken eyes
you should be more like your brother
less distressed, but still disguised
take a bite from the apple of my eye
Here it comes again
days are good or bad
I'd only know you by night
but the voices, I hear them all
I hate to say it
but the prize is taking part
oh you, with your 'warmth in the arms of sadness'
like lyrics are soaked in rain
I know she hates my voice
but loves to watch me talk
every word I say
every word is nonsense
every word is strained
but I understand it all
every word I say
every word

It was the girls that did it,
they were never good enough
if there was one thing Jimmy knew,
it was how to give up
but it's hard to look cool
pulling fruit from a tree
on the farm you raise your family on
I love you my girl
as young as you are
moths circle dying bulbs
but I feel the part
I've been near limousines
I whisper to the trees
and go back to putting food in the ground
I'd buy a new suit every day of the week
and spend all the rest
boy, I love to drink
now it's just wine with dinner, occasionally
so drink a bottle of this and be like me

I Only Pretend To Know
02:17
|

Missing trains
I sleep for fifteen hours a day
she turns to me
and crushes out a cigarette
and says "Where does it all go?"
I turn away
I only pretend to know

Throwing softness and subtlety to the wind, Stockholm's Lowrider raze a molten, stoner-rock warpath, all fuzzy riffs and percussive grit.

Utterly hypnotic, heavy, and ethereal beyond what I can aptly describe here. It'll take you careening down a kaleidoscopic wormhole of audial bliss.
