Destroyer

I made a destroyer
I made a destroyer and I
Crowned it with the sunrise
I made a destroyer
I made a destroyer and I
Gave it the keys to my house and my head
And it’s been living there
I made a destroyer
I made a destroyer and I
Thought it would keep me alive
I made a destroyer
I made a destroyer and I
Let it move all the things in my stead
Made it a place in the space in my bed
Let it gather the dirt that I shed
And I’ve been letting it grow its arms
Too long

Fever hum
Ocean song
Form undone
In the space between
For days it bleeds
Hear the groan
Borne in bone
Whispers of
The prayers to be
Of restless dreams
I’m sinking down
To trenches in unbounded blue
Sinking down
Tether me to the waves and the Merciful
Tether me to the waves and the Merciful
Tether me to the waves and the Merciful
Tether me
Turn my eyes
To the long-low night
The sea will come
Through my love
To you
Tether me to the waves and the Merciful

Call it what you may, but know it’s mine
This shame, and the things it animates
Things are bound to hurt from time to time
All the same, when nothing feels unchanged
See the hand that feeds you be directed in anger
See the hand that feeds you be directed in anger
See the hand that feeds you be directed in anger
Come and nail me to a chair
Let the hand deglove in style
Make me a part of your statuary
To feeds the birds you’ve leashed inside
Do what turns you on
Let it change how you posture the body you’re wearing out
See the hand that feeds you be directed in anger
See the hand that feeds you be directed in anger
See the hand that feeds you be directed in anger

Voice I know by name
Muttered only truth of shame
Said I’d stay this way
If I ever looked away
What built me up
Can break me down
Told me to never let it happen again
And I hunted the holy with a dog in the dark
Sat in the mire for hours
To ape a revelation
Told me to never let it happen again
And I looked to the many for a reason to love
I built and unbuilt towers
‘Cause I don’t know of other ways
And I don’t know what else to say
Told me to never let it happen again
And I hunted the holy with a dog in the dark
Sat in the mire for hours
To ape a revelation
Told me to never let it happen again
And I looked to the many for a reason to love
I built and unbuilt towers
‘Cause I don’t know of other ways
(I am never letting it happen again)
It is way too bright and this house is cold
(I am never letting it happen again)
It is way too bright and this house is cold
(I am never letting it happen again)
It is way too bright and this house is cold

Milk

Maybe I’ll sing of
Hearts and minds, sin and love
Heavy is the head that carries the weight of clean life
Call the lost, come to appease
Whores of past, melded in years
Nothing is the same as we envisioned in our minds
Maybe I’ll sing of
The dance of knives that swing above
Suffering through sharing and a heaven burning bright
Calm the maw, calm the unease
Soft and shorn, held behind teeth
Jaws affixed together with a prayer and a wire
In paralyzed hours I dream
They’re strange and wild, somehow unreal
Hard enough to hold but bound to spill into the sky
Poetize reality in sleep
The hate in the eye of a sundering sea
Thoughts I carry with me as I sink between the lines
Milk in the arms of holier beings
Blinded to harm and the truth of all things
Safer now to experience the world as it flows white

Velveteen

The body’s a liar
Sick spinner of tall and hateful
Tales that I hold dear
The purest desire
To cut down to the shape of a child again
So that I won’t fear the change
Oh murderer, murderer, speak as I will
(Try making the world stop)
Murmurs of matters deep in the skin
Oh murderer, murderer, sanctify this
(Try making the hurt stop)
Turning of matter into memory and mist
Feed myself to the fire
Just to warm the empty night and the vacant
Space that no one goes near
An ardent abider
Of the laws that I’ve built out of dirt and
Pain that I need to feel
Oh murderer, murderer, speak as I will
(Try making the world stop)
Murmurs of matters deep in the skin
Oh murderer, murderer, sanctify this
(Try making the hurt stop)
Turning of matter into memory and mist
Take me to the harbor
Take my heart and throw it down to feed the deep
Take me there and further
Bend me down and turn my skin velveteen
Take me to the harbor
Take my heart and throw it down to feed the deep
Take me there and further
Bend me down and turn my skin velveteen
Take me there and further
Bend me down and turn my skin velveteen

The Choke

I’ll take every step I need to betray myself
Maybe it’s the kind of love I need to feel
The choke
Turn the hammer to still my dogged heart
Maybe it’s the kind of care I need to receive
The choke
In the low light, I appear
Fake and fragile
Plastic likeness of an idea
Soft and formless in real life
I’ll take every step I need to betray myself
Maybe it’s the kind of love I need to feel
Turn the hammer to still my dogged heart
Maybe it’s the kind of care I need to receive
The choke

Head down
Don’t turn up again
Make like a whisper and wane
Leave that longing
And let the hurt die out

Everything Turns Blue, Unseen World, and A Place in the Sun are my favourites. This album opens inner worlds, helps depression, and there is nothing more awakening than haunting electronic cinema tracks. She and the band is amazing live.

Remnants of the Vessel
by Faetooth
supported by 33 fans who also own “Whisper and Wane”
Crazy good doom-gaze(?). Guitars sound filthy and the vocals pierce into your soul. The drums are delicate when needed but aren't afraid to remind you that you are alive. Beautifully recorded album with lots of earworms - especially Strange Ways which has a wonderful choral like quality.
