lyrics
in a place so loud we will never be free
just a slave to a taker, to a man, to a need
and I won’t go back, I never wanted to leave
just a slave to a taker, will we never be free?
in a city so callus, with two dead set eyes
with a mouth full of xans and a handful of time
they say what doesn’t kill you will just keep you alive
and what doesn’t kill you...
in the place you love with all the dogs set free
in a future together was never going to be me
just a slave to a taker, to a man, to a need
and I can never go back, I never wanted to leave
in the city so callus with two dead set eyes
With a mouth full of xans and a handful of time
they say what doesn’t kill you will just keep you alive
and what doesn’t kill you...
always the long way home
In the city, so callus, with two dead set eyes
With a mouth full of xans and a handful of time
They say what doesn’t kill you will just get high
And what doesn’t kill you...
just a slave to a taker, to a man, to a need
and I won’t go back, I never wanted to leave
just a slave to a taker, will we never be free?
in a city so callus, with two dead set eyes
with a mouth full of xans and a handful of time
they say what doesn’t kill you will just keep you alive
and what doesn’t kill you...
in the place you love with all the dogs set free
in a future together was never going to be me
just a slave to a taker, to a man, to a need
and I can never go back, I never wanted to leave
in the city so callus with two dead set eyes
With a mouth full of xans and a handful of time
they say what doesn’t kill you will just keep you alive
and what doesn’t kill you...
always the long way home
In the city, so callus, with two dead set eyes
With a mouth full of xans and a handful of time
They say what doesn’t kill you will just get high
And what doesn’t kill you...

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