about

Recorded live for radio broadcast. An unreleased traack written from the perspective of a sociopath who finds a woman on his doorstep and decides to keep her via manipulation rather than direct display of control.

lyrics

She came down from the sky where the storm left her broken
and opened, and bleeding for me
and when god sends you gifts you must use them with pleasure
and treasure what lands in your reach.

---

When she woke under covers too cold to be hers
she had eyes like two torches of fire
and her nails and her teeth would have helped in her struggle
if her wounds hadnt rendered her mine

"You're no captive" I told her, and showed her the door
which swung open as leaves blew in through
cos when people believe it's their own path they've chosen
they won't see their cage for the view

Chorus:
Oh but you know women these days
are as fickle as they are immeasurable
And a man is a man when his fate's in his hands
and his grasp is as hard as it is invisible.

---

So why do you ask if its greener outside
when I've showed you the flowers through your window?
and where is your thanks for the prommise i made
to protect you from all that is cold a hard world?

And she smiled, I beleive, as I combed out her hair,
and I prayed that her thoughts would turn grateful
then I wrang out her blood, so she'd know that she'd bled
and be dead, if not thankful for rescue


Chorus:
Oh but you know women these days
are as fickle as they are immeasurable
And a man is a man when his fate's in his hands
and his grasp is as hard as it is invisible.

---

bridge:
I've told you, we'll go, and tomorrow will come
with tomorrows tomorrow in tow
let it go, little girl
there's a hole in the world that'll tear you apart if you go
They'll you apart if you go.
It'll you apart if you go.
You'll tear me apart if you go.
