lyrics
Judas come close to me
Visit in visions
Tell me the story of how
you swing like an actor in the greyest of gardens
your tongue hanging free from you mouth
Down at the methadone clinic we waited
hoping to take home your cure
The curdling cowards, the crackle of china
you say that its making you pure
And just like Flowers for Algernon
something's diminished
There’s a love like you've never known pinned to your finish
One, two, six underfoot and you will rise
And in all of your blooms of oblivion
I love you
See?
Maker, I'm close to you
to deal your departure
to make sure you’re nailed to the ground
and all of the glamours, of treacherous traitors
have all run away from you now
I will stand over you
to breathe in your vapor
as pieces and parts, they dissolve
You plead you as failure
You wait for a savior
but leave knowing nothing’s resolved
And we bring flowers from Albion up to your vision
Hold back the love that you've never known
you've only this prison
Straight to the hangman’s noose, are we born this way?
Handing down a fistful of sorries you will never say
I love you
See?
Say
Visit in visions
Tell me the story of how
you swing like an actor in the greyest of gardens
your tongue hanging free from you mouth
Down at the methadone clinic we waited
hoping to take home your cure
The curdling cowards, the crackle of china
you say that its making you pure
And just like Flowers for Algernon
something's diminished
There’s a love like you've never known pinned to your finish
One, two, six underfoot and you will rise
And in all of your blooms of oblivion
I love you
See?
Maker, I'm close to you
to deal your departure
to make sure you’re nailed to the ground
and all of the glamours, of treacherous traitors
have all run away from you now
I will stand over you
to breathe in your vapor
as pieces and parts, they dissolve
You plead you as failure
You wait for a savior
but leave knowing nothing’s resolved
And we bring flowers from Albion up to your vision
Hold back the love that you've never known
you've only this prison
Straight to the hangman’s noose, are we born this way?
Handing down a fistful of sorries you will never say
I love you
See?

May Our Chambers Be Full
by Emma Ruth Rundle & Thousupported by 1045 fans who also own “Blooms of Oblivion”
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.

SINNER GET READY
by LINGUA IGNOTAsupported by 659 fans who also own “Blooms of Oblivion”
If you feel like mist that graciously draws edges silken, as bitter clouds burst in droplets – a burnt hand would warily seek their comforting warmth – to let you wash your shame in tears; luxuriously tonguing atonement&salt , then this is what I recommend to you.

Immanent Fire
by Emily Jane WhiteThe Oakland singer's latest album imagines the power struggle between man and nature as a slow, steady tempest of dark folk.
