An Introduction To The Album-The Hotelier

[00:00.000] 作曲 : Christian Holden [00:18]Open the curtains [00:21]Singing birds tell me [00:24]"Tear the buildings down." [00:29]You felt blessed [00:30]To receive their pleasant sound [00:34]Of things that break [00:35]Make you cringe [00:37]Inside yourself there's a child [00:41]Counting stars in their time-out [00:45]Of their day [00:47]In the corners of their frame [00:51]They are encased [00:53]In the losing of a grain [00:56]Of themselves [00:58]Pushed against the ebb and flow [01:05]Wave good-bye and watch it go [01:31]Well show me the honest, proper way [01:36]To disarm predatory gaze [01:41]Sucking dry [01:42]Never satiated [01:43]You've been misused [01:48]Been rewired [01:50]You're short-circuiting now [01:54]Just remember when [01:55]You'd call me to come [01:59]Take a deep breath, and then jump [02:06]So fragile are bodies [02:08]So concave, work in [02:14]Self-destructive ways [02:20]Shot from the hip and missed [02:26]
Detaching from all of this
In [02:33] physical pictures you remain [02:36]Spiral 'round yourself in figure-eight [02:39]I recoil at every new beginning [02:48]I searched for a way out [02:51]Don't we all? [02:53]Existentialist recall [02:57]
Turn in all dichotomies and
Truths [03:03]that I gave
I felt wrong in many ways [03:09]Didn't heal [03:11]Just got harder every day [03:14]To be still [03:16]To be passing [03:19]Through the throes [03:20]In a daze [03:22]Feeling heavy [03:24]Feeling cold in my skin [03:27]In my hand-me-downs [03:30]Wearing everything thin [03:31]And the pills [03:34]That you gave didn't do anything [04:25]I just slept for years on end
