Wicker Casket

“Badadum”
I had it all
The rise and the obvious fall
Was it just the beginning?
Of the end or the end of living?
The widows weep
Never losing time or sleep
They can’t even stay.
Tomorrow comes and then another day.
“Badadum”
Well the western winds never change
And the ones you love stay the same
When there’s no one else to blame
When the wicker casket calls your name
And ones you love say the same.
Stay the same.
Keep my remains at home
In a little box that you keep above the stove
May it comfort you
To know I’m there and there’s nothing you can do.
It’s a great escape
“To leave the world a man and then return a pile of ash”
“Does it bother you?”
To know I’m gone or there’s not a place for you?
Well the western winds never change
And the ones you love say the same
When there’s no one else to blame
When the wicker casket calls your name
And western winds never change
They never-
Only the ones you love the most
Only the ones you love the most
Only the ones you love the most
Carry you on.
Well the western winds never change.
When the ones you love still remain.
Now there’s no one left to blame.
When the wicker casket calls your name
And the ones you love say the same
They say the sa-
Badadum
Badadum
Badadum
Bada- (Whoa)
Badadum
Badadum
Badadum
Bada -(Whoa)
Badadum
Badadum
Badadum
Bada (whoa oh)
Bada dum
Badadum
Badadum
Ba da dum.

REMEMBER THE MORNING
ITS ALL IN MY HEAD X4
LEATHER WINGS PLEASE TAKE ME HOME
EMPTINESS INTO MY LUNGS
BLACKEND SKIES DARKER THAN COAL
THIS HEART ISNT EMPTY ITS COLD
THIS HEART IS SO COLD
COLD
COLD
The thirst
comes upon me
like a pain you’ll never know
the only thing that keeping me sated
You’re face makes me sad as you age
Thought mine remains the same
Lost everything in your grace.
Locked in the tower for days upon end locked in the tower for days:
LEATHER WINGS PLEASE TAKE ME HOME
EMPTINESS INTO MY LUNGS
BLACKEND SKIES DARKER THAN COAL
THIS HEART ISNT EMPTY ITS COLD
THIS HEART IS SO COLD
COLD
COLD
In the arms of death we lay down
Curse this blessed end
we made our
peace with angles long since fallen
into abyss we have taken ...
“Remember the morning it’s all in my head”
LEATHER WINGS PLEASE TAKE ME HOME
EMPTINESS INTO MY LUNGS
BLACKEND SKIES DARKER THAN COAL
THIS HEART ISNT EMPTY ITS COLD
THIS HEART IS SO COLD
This heart is so -
Remember the morning it’s all in my head
Remember the morning it’s all in my head
Remember the morning it’s all in my head
Remember the morning it’s all.

Ah oh
It was just one thing
When I had the chance
Then I’d know nothing
And it neverlasts
We promised we‘d
Never be the same
When it all comes down
I would scream your name
But if it was sound
It’s never one sound
I’m never allowed
I’m riddled with doubt
But if it was sound, sound
It’s never one sound
I’m riddled with doubt
I’m never allowed
Upon high
No one knows
Thousand eyes
A thousand woes
Well above something
Of my past or spring
That I lose myself
In a row of rings
And I touched your face
Like an aging page
And you noticed things
I can’t even see
What if it was sound
But never one sound
I’m riddled with doubt
I’m never allowed
But if it was sound, sound
It’s never one sound
I’m here and I’m out
But never a doubt
Upon high
No one knows
Thousand eyes
A thousand woes
Woe

Children Of The Night

Theres a man in my head and he’s made of glass oh
If you dare catch a glimpse you can see him pass oh
He talks to me while I’m asleep and sometimes when I’m awake
He tells me things that I could be and all of my mistakes
but if you ruled the world
You could never tell a soul
The words that you cry out
And the ones you shouldn’t know
Running from the day
you’re a child of the night oh
Haunted by the day
and reborn in the night oh
And if you sang to me
Your demented melody
You could never sound as sweet
As the lies they fed to me
Oh
Tell me how you dream while you’re awake again?
When you opened up the windows
and let the moths fly in
Did you beg did you plead
With thoughts most hated
And words you’d never use
Did you hold your heart above your chest
And scream that you can too
But if you ruled the world
You could never tell a soul
The words that you cried out
And the ones you shouldn’t know
Oh oh oh
Running from the days
you’re a child of the night oh
Haunted by the days and reborn in the night oh
And if you sang to me
your demented melodies
You could never sound as as sweet
As the lies they fed to me oh
Oh oh
Running from the days
you’re a child of the night oh
Haunted by the days and reborn in the night oh
And if you sang to me
your demented melodies
You could never sound as as sweet
As the lies they fed to me oh
(Forgotten by the day now I’m lost in the night oh
Surrender yourself and give into the night
oh oh )

“But fear is not what you owe me
YOU OWE ME AWE”
I’m not an animal
I’m just a murderer
I’ll choke your dreams to death
I’ll make you bury them
Dig underneath the skin
And you can see what’s left
Deny what I’ve become
Until your dying breath
Don’t walk away
You can’t explain
Look on in shame
Youve seen his face
Along the way you loved yourself too much, never hold a candle or meant to touch the face of dearest hope or tragedy
Hide away and disappear the same that you have all those years, to reconcile the ones you left in agony.
I’ve back to reclaim
The precious few that see
The different colors
The visions in the dark
Brittle and broken hearts
Though we are many
You’ve paid your pipers
But never had the dream
Can you feel me haunt you in your dreams
Can you feel me haunt you in your sleep
Can you feel me haunt you in your dreams

Sixth Sense

I wanna know what it’s like
To be so in love and untied
I got six senses
I gave each one to you
and I wanna know what it’s like
Inspite of all my fears I’m still here
And if I have to go than I’ll go
When death is not enough
That you have to dig them up
And I wanna know what it’s like
To be alive
Whoa
I see the dead passing by,
They leave all at once
Don’t ask why
They say we’re godsaken
At the fear of going numb
And I wanna know what it’s like
Inspite of all my fears I’m still here
And if I have to go than I’ll go
When death is not enough
That you have to dig them up
And I wanna know what it’s like
To be alive
Whoa
Whoa
Inspite of all my fears I’m still here
And if I have to go than I’ll go
When death is not enough
That you have to dig them up
And I wanna know what it’s like
To be alive
Whoa
Whoa

Sending chills all down your spine-
Turning a frenzy to delight
But I won't ever make you wanna dance
No.
Shake your hands out send the sign
Another page a guilty night
Leave out the part your wrote your name in blood.
Surrounded by
Cats and witches - midnight alters
By the pricking of your thumbs
Mass hysterics - rash convulsions
If you have to ask bring something to offer up
Something wicked this way comes...
The clock struck 12 at a quarter to five
As We made our way to the fire side -
They all joined hands and began to rant and rave
"cut off the head, burn what remains " I think I heard one of them say.
Possessed by creatures from another place
Surrounded by
Cats and Witches midnight alters
By the pricking of your thumbs
mass hysterics rash convulsions
If you have to ask bring something to offer up
Something wicked this way comes.
Sacred silence we offer these gifts to you
oil and water to repay is all we can do
Give us eternity to sell our intangible souls
Reclaim tomorrow and make us
as meals for the crows
For the crows
For the crows
Surrounded by
Cats and witches Midnight alters
by the the pricking of your thumbs
Mass hysterics - rash convulsions
If you have to ask bring something to offer up-
Something wicked this way comes
comes
comes
Oh oh
Here it comes

I’m in the cemetery business
I’m in the cemetery sales
If you give me a call
I’ll find you a hole
You know I never fail
Since 18/1963
They have always relied on me
To keep them close, friends and enemies
And I along with thee
Write your name in elizas book
One drop of blood was all it took
And you’ll be here for eternity
And right down here with me
Cause I’m in the cemetery business
I’m in the cemetery sales
Give me a call I’ll find you a hole
You know I’ll never fail
There’s a stone in the ground with your name all over!
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Don’t gotta be lucky or even older
Ohhhhhhh hhhhh
There will come a day
When I lay in my grave…
That’s when
YOURE IN THE cemetery business
YOURE in the cemetery sales
When you get the call
You better find them a hole
And lord knows… you’d better not.
FAIL
Whoa

You remind me of a grayscale picture
She said
Because you’re fuzzy at the edges and darkest at the end
I had a dream one night
We were alone
All the buildings fell around us
But we found home
Cause I want you to see.
How I believe
Even asleep
Into my dreams
No one can take you
Or this away from me.
When the tell tale heart beats this way for you
Written in the stars
. For me you know it’s true.
We won't live to see the days
when our hairs are old and grey.
But I’d love to, be buried
under the floorboards with you
Too many times but all in vain
the view from here
won’t be the same
you’ll only know me as a memory.
You wrote the words
as I said them
A picture perfect bitter end
no better way to spend eternity
Cause I want you to see.
How I believe
Even asleep
Into my dreams
No one can take you
Or this away from me.
When this tell tale heart
beats this way for you
Written in the stars
For me you know it’s true.
We won’t live to see the day.
When our hairs are old and grey,
aId love to…
be buried under the floorboards with you.
When this tell tale heart
beats this way for you
Written in the stars
For me you know it’s true.
We won’t live to see the day.
When our hairs are old and grey,
but I’d love to…
be buried under the floorboards with you.
With you
Under the floor boards,
With you
Under the floorboards
With you
Under the floorboards with you
I’d die for you

This Is Not Elegance

Silver tongue liars fill the streets like a fog
Cut down by strangers there no need for applause
Feeling this helpless tore away at the sides
Fooled myself restless
Karma has no disguise
Wanting and waiting with torches in the air
No one take notice of the corpse in the chair
Rabid at the sight of blood that pools tonight
No one else can see the repetitious anguish in me
Victims in morning let out screams of withdrawal
Nothing so sordid as I creep through these halls
Cancerous intention sink your teeth into me
Revel in tidings that you have yet to see
Relapse is sacred and they spoke of it best
Return like mocking birds away from the nest
Rabid at the sight
Of blood that pools tonight
No one else can see
This repetitious anguish in me
Revelations be
Silence all your silver plating
Rabid at the sight
Your crimson ghosts ignite
(Spoken word) written and recorded by Shelby Lowe
“And so it can be seen, or perhaps not, that there are monsters in these walls. Hush now, they can hear what you say before it empties from behind your teeth. We can try to run but they will follow us and they will not come quietly, and they will not come alone”.
Relapses
not elegance
Rabid at the sight
Of the blood that pools tonight
Not a soul to see
The repetitious anguish in me
Revelations be
Silence all your silver plating
Rabid at the sight
Your crimson ghosts ignite
Whoa

Body and mind I am with you.
Spirit and soul not always
Wicked and true I am dripping
Filling with blood I am gorged
Empathic thoughts i can hear you
Evil is what you adore
A685,
No one will love you no one could know
I am still with you at the end of it all.
You are my heartache you are my soul
Without the darkness the Stars wouldn’t show
The moon will rise
Lover of mine I wish you
Well and a few more times
If I could just have you
Nothing for us but time
You haven’t said I love you
In 8 long days or more
And I wish that I could protect you
From the monsters beyond your door...
If No one will love you
no one could know
I am still with you
at the end of it all.
You are my heartache you are my soul
Without the darkness the Stars wouldn’t show
The moon will rise
As we fall down
As we fall down
As we fall hard
Shadow of mine I miss you
The sounds and things you’d say
I have long lost perspective
It gets farther everyday
If No one could love you
no one could know
I am still with you at the end of it all.
You are my heartache you are my soul
Without your darkness the Stars wouldn’t show
The moon will rise

Show me your wounds
And what gave you all of them
Give me all your heart
Give me just enough
When the world goes on and on
We go dark
And when the world keeps moving on
We get tired
I know they won’t stop
Good bye
—
Silver new moons
Divination scars
Just because you're noticed
Doesn’t make you a star
When the world goes on and on
We go dark
And when the world keeps moving on
We get tired of them
And I know they won’t stop
And I know they won’t leave it alone
On your own
On and on
On and on
On and on
When the world goes on and on
We go dark
And when the world keeps moving on
We get tired of them
And I know they won’t stop
And I know they won’t leave it alone
On your own

Midwestern Gothic\Avant-Goth
Haunted sounds for haunted people.

Delicious Glasgow slow droning darkwave. Lots of swirl and down tempo with singer Paula Borges giving rich melting chocolate to pour slowly on that buzzing synth. Definitely hearing big audio heaven sound stretching. Sometimes in a mix you can feel one aspect or another too far away. Here everything feels underwater in equal measure and it gives the music a surreal quality. The tension is great and gives this feeling of being on a submarine sinking closer to the crush point.
