PROTECTION
oh heaven sends him down to me
and he’s got everything I'll ever need
just for 16 days, i let him tie down
the frailest part of my body
i am small but in your arms
you are colder in your heart
i am worthless in your arms
but you offer this protection no one else has given me
you just keep talking down to me
taking all of my hair pulled back
i gave him 16 days
i let him choke out the frailest part of my body
hush now, here there is no trouble
quiet down, you know that i have got you
but I'm spinning out into a bottle
where’s my connection to you
it’s my protection
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. spaceman2250
