I peeled back the skin and allowed you to see me
A wounded, suffering flesh shell barely fucking breathing
Please salt my wounds with your concrete kiss
And let me suck the smile right off your lips
Plant the poison seed
And we could live in the shade of the tree
I think I’m losing myself
As you become me
Oh my love, let me feed
Your serotonin smile is what I need
Teach me how to sleep as I sink into these sheets
Oh my love, let me feed
Your serotonin smile is what I need
I lust for light so let me leech
I’d suck the marrow from your bones to feel free
Oh my love, let me feed
I’ve been begging since the day you broke my fucking knees

Mindless / Speechless
Baby I can be less
Teach me how to sleep and I will show you how to see less of me
I’ll be all that I can be
For as long as you need
I’m fine
I’m fucking fine
If I could lend you a hand or an arm
You could feed off my flesh
And keep yourself warm
This is the true face of love
A rabbid fucking dog
With the face of an angel
And a tongue like a sword
But I’m fine
I’m fucking fine
Lifeless I lie
As she ties up my feet
I love it how she drags my lifeless body through the streets
I have truly become the best I can be
Numb to the pain of a future so bleak

I’m begging for release
But I’m afraid to be free
And so I’ve sentenced myself to a life of misery
I could walk away and never return
But here is where my past silently burns
Bricks laid in blood, cemented by my suffering
Inertia reigns here and I am barely functioning
There’s a room where no-one speaks and glass eyes gaze at me
The rats come out and feed as my consciousness leaves
Panic’s at the front door
I know I’m fucking done for
Until I’m calm I’ll be here
I hope they’ll never see me
Oh can’t you hear them screeching?
I bet the walls are bleeding.
Bricks laid in blood, cemented by my suffering
I’ll forgive myself when I feel the sulfur smothering

Dead, but still breathing
When will this life finally leave me?
Chained, but not caged
So you will never be safe
I can’t start feeling alive when my heart’s not beating right
I need to know where my love now lies so I can feel the dying of light
Summer’s scars, I still remember
How our hands were slowly severed
You said “bend your head and focus on breathing”
The pin hit my neck as you were leaving
Silk waves, wash me away
Concrete heat melted heavy rain
Frozen in time, mind down the drain
As summer sang I’d see you again
Sing to me
So I can see
Love still lives where we buried our dreams
Only me
Selfishly
I just need this to be real
Slowly I rot
But you won’t fucking see

Come closer, I can teach you how to burn
Desire lures and you’re craving the hurt
Let it mark you until you’re scarred
Know you will never be whole if you’ve never been torn apart
Soon you’ll be like me
But when drinking from a broken cup
The thirst remains and lips get cut
Still we seek where the night is warm
And burn our lungs only to be buried at dawn
Out in the streets
When the world’s asleep
Passion burns beneath your marble skin
Cold to the touch
But there’s warmth within you
Engulf me, soon you’ll feed
Forward to the end /
Counting every breath /
My palms to the sky /
This life’s a slow death

Soft knives
Warm blood
In a dimly lit room
I think I belong here.
WHEN MY MIND FINALLY BREAKS I WILL FULLY LIVE. HOUSED IN THIS FLESH SHELL I FEEL THE NEVER ENDING BURDEN OF MY USELESS EXISTENCE. LET ME ROT. LET ME SLEEP. I NEVER BELONGED HERE. SOFT KNIVES, WARM BLOOD IN A DIMLY LIT ROOM. I THINK I BELONG HERE. CYCLES OF SUFFERING IN THIS PURGATORY WE CALL HOME. WHERE EVERY SINGLE WOUND FESTERS AND THE LIGHT BARELY COMES IN. LET ME ROT. LET ME SLEEP.

May Our Chambers Be Full
by Emma Ruth Rundle & Thou
supported by 4 fans who also own “I : Levensmoeheid”
I love the light and shade between Bryan's dirty and Emma's forlorn vocals. There are so many layers to this recording that are driven home through contrast. Plus the riffs are brilliant and get me moving. I can't stop listening to Thou and Emma in general lately.

Gorgeously punishing, slow-moving doom, with giant sludgy riffs crashing against thundering drums.

The latest from this one-man sludge metal project from Baltimore is discordant, spacious, and as heavy as a full group could ever be.
