Grinning William is a confident step forward in Burns progression as a songwriter, an addition to a Blood Wizard oeuvre that already for those in know has cemented him as an artist unafraid to look outwards for influence yet singular in his vision. Time will tell whether it’ll push him over the precipice of the underground but, for those who discover it, Grinning William is a record to return to time and time again.

You said I think we should go whole hog into this
Because I always give everything I can when I’m doing things
I know its hard to believe
Every part of me, every single skin cell knew I needed you
Hard shell, I’m a snail
I’m slower than you think I am
You go, I’ll wait
Didn’t know how much you wanted to give
You know who I am
But I didn’t know you then
Grinning William
I knew I needed you
I knew I needed you
I knew I needed you
I knew I needed you
I knew I needed you
I knew I needed you

Apples and oranges
People and passages
They’re digging downwards
Down to the basement
Granite and marble
Pretty and powerful
Look at the details
The unbreakable silence
Why don’t we get along?
Why don’t we get along?
Why does your swinging arm only swing out for some?
It’s on the tip of my tongue
I had the words
But I cannot recall
I cannot recall
I cannot recall
Faces and follicles
Mazes are corridors
When you’re horizontal anything is possible
Do the primary colours look down on the others?
Kings of the castle
Who’s got my medal? Who’s got the answers?
Why don’t we get along?
Why don’t we get along?
Why does your swinging arm only swing out for some?
It’s on the tip of my tongue
I had the words
But I cannot recall
I cannot recall
I cannot recall
Why don’t we get along?
Why don’t we get along?
Why does your swinging arm only swing out for some?
It’s on the tip of my tongue
Why don’t we get along?
Why don’t we get along?
Why does your swinging arm only swing out for some?
It’s on the tip of my tongue
I had the words
But I cannot recall
I cannot recall
I cannot recall

Oh, what have we become?
The all salivating tongues
Spitting sounds
Unnatural motions
Am I letting you down?
All of my old friends
They look so different
There was a big fire and they were stuck in it
And I was the Devil
I was the devil dressed in disguise
Signs
Signs
Signs
Signs
That I was the devil
I was the devil dressed in disguise
Everything in, everything out
Ate the ocean and everything else
Absolution, there’s nothing worse to tell yourself
Am I letting you down?
There was a big fire and I was stuck in it
Built myself a house and hung up a picture
Because I was the devil
I was the devil dressed in disguise
Signs
Signs
Signs
Signs
Signs
Signs
Signs
Signs
That I was the devil
Yeah I was the devil dressed in disguise
Change has no end
Change has no end
Change has no end yet
Change has no end
I have always been like this

BIG FISH
03:10

No one
No one’s watching
No one’s listening
And the spotlights fading
And I’m talking but wind takes it all away
Oh it would be magic
If a thousand circus dancers
Just burst in through the curtains to the stage
Wait..
I thought I was big fish
Turns out I was bait
I thought I was eating
But now I’m on the plate
Tunnel vision
Aching
Burnt and bleeding
Stomachs twisted and my hands are shaking
I was swimming but it took me the other way
Oh it would be magic
If a thousand christmas crackers
They just fell down from the ceiling to the stage
Wait..
I thought I was big fish
Turns out I was bait
I thought I was eating
But now I’m on the plate
Tunnel vision
To the grave
Tunnel vision
Tunnel vision
To the grave
Tunnel vision

Pull it in
Pull it right to the skin
Sweaty hands
I can’t quite get the grip
Bad man’s got a big car but he still wants it
Wants the one thing that I don’t want to give
My baby tooth
I don’t wanna lose ya
My baby tooth
It’s all for you
My baby tooth
We don’t want to go there
My baby tooth
Red at the root
Fell so slow
Watching from the window
Slow dissolve
My mouth was hung open
Bad mans got a big thorn stuck right in his throat
But he still needs someone to tell him he’s choked
My baby tooth
I don’t wanna lose ya
My baby tooth
It’s all for you
My baby tooth
We don’t wanna go there
My baby tooth
Red at the root

I’m going back to bed
I wanna lie down again
I won’t answer my phone
The battery’s been gone for days
I don’t make any plans so I don’t have to bail
I’ll never be your rock
But I guess I’m cool with that
I’m an undercover cop
I’ll two time everyone
I’m better off here at home where I can’t do nothing wrong
I don’t put my clothes on anymore
So I’m going to back to bed
Into it’s arms again
Cuz lately, I’ve found nothing really does it for me like it used to
I never did like my jobs
I couldn’t tell you what I’ve done
I talk more to the dog
Than to the people I love
I try to look away when I walk past a friend
I guess we don’t’ get along
That’s probably my fault
So I’m going to back to bed
Into it’s arms again
Cuz lately, I’ve found nothing really does it for me like it used to
So I’m going to back to bed
Into it’s arms again
Cuz lately, I’ve found nothing really does it for me like it used to

Indecision

Indecision and white noises
Somethings tryna get us to join forces
We got silverfishes and time warping
Wouldn’t wanna do it without you honey
Me and my dark world spin around
While
We try to take some time to be ourselves
Who cares what’s out there happening
We’re here at home dancing
Fall down, dark world spin me round
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo
Bom bom bom
Big scissors and bad choices
I can hear you better without voices
Skinny fingers and sad faces
Wouldn’t wanna do it without you baby
Me and my dark world spin around
While
We try to take some time to be ourselves
Who cares what’s out there happening
We’re here at home dancing
Fall down, dark world spin me round
Fall down, dark world spin me round
Time out
Our time to melt
Fall down
Dark world spin me round

Sinister star
You know who you are
We’re in the dark
Illuminate us
It doesn’t really matter if you’re right
You hold the knife
And my eyes run from your eyes
Sinister star
In the mirror
Sinister star
You know who you are
Maybe tonight
Or maybe this is goodbye
Maybe you just died
You’re my sacrifice
Never thought I’d see this face again
Distorting mirrors
Changing all of the time
Sinister star
In the mirror
Sinister star
You know who you are
So take my hand and run
Into reflections
Disappearing hearts
Disintegrated
Sinister star
In the mirror
Sinister star
You know who you are

Higher Energy!
03:12
|

|
All in good time I’ll get what’s mine
Every person has a past life
Every action pre-decided
The plan has already outlined
So every moments is a mouse trap
A poison arrow and a slow death
You can be anything you think of
But what if all your thoughts are useless?
Higher energy
Higher energy
Higher energy
Higher energy
It could be anything
It could be nothing
It could be everything
It could be something
Every decision is a bad one
Every connection is a time bomb
Behind the curtain is sun set
Behind the sun there is a black pen
Writing down the big conclusion
Before it sinks into the ocean
Higher energy
Higher energy
Higher energy
Higher energy
Higher energy
Bring out the best in me
Higher energy
Bring out the best in me
Higher energy
Bring out the best in me
Higher energy
Bring out the best in me.

I was one of the few who couldn't quite embrace "New Long Leg", so when they released the follow-up "Stumpwork", it was much easier to embrace. More haunting, adventurous and brooding than its' predecessor.
