lyrics
don’t lift up your hands, it’s only a warning
like blood in the sand, a kiss is a bruise is endurance
for then felt the falling collapse and held in a small room of hell
don’t lift up your face, it’s all tangled in, it’s always unraveling
for control of, to control it, in controlling, to control it
in time growing tall, had outlined the realms left to seal them
we knocked back the gold, hoping another one could heal them
for when did the faulting collapse come back to just kiss your face
we raise up the glass, it’s only the Devil you know, it’s only the Spirit you taste
for control of, in controlling, to control it
a silver line, nobody born bad, no twin of mine left standing
take clear at dawn and dark into dusk, a habit formed in wandering
a pass, a turn, a season now lost, some badge to earn, some heavy cost
a horn, a tusk, an animal wild, no twin of mine still standing
could control it, in control of, for control of, to control it
like blood in the sand, a kiss is a bruise is endurance
for then felt the falling collapse and held in a small room of hell
don’t lift up your face, it’s all tangled in, it’s always unraveling
for control of, to control it, in controlling, to control it
in time growing tall, had outlined the realms left to seal them
we knocked back the gold, hoping another one could heal them
for when did the faulting collapse come back to just kiss your face
we raise up the glass, it’s only the Devil you know, it’s only the Spirit you taste
for control of, in controlling, to control it
a silver line, nobody born bad, no twin of mine left standing
take clear at dawn and dark into dusk, a habit formed in wandering
a pass, a turn, a season now lost, some badge to earn, some heavy cost
a horn, a tusk, an animal wild, no twin of mine still standing
could control it, in control of, for control of, to control it

May Our Chambers Be Full
by Emma Ruth Rundle & Thousupported by 1114 fans who also own “Control”
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.
