Name: For The World Is Hollow
Duration: P00H03M52S
Description: “Grief takes on multiple forms of existence. It lives in the creases of your pillowcase, in the shadows in the hallway, in the corners of your eye. It's not scary, nasty, or undesirable, but it requires space and attention, just like us when we need to process loss or change. Embrace it. Our melancholy is not linear. It is fluid and universal.”

lyrics

My deepest condolences
To everyone involved
And to everyone involved
My deepest condolences

I've heard death described
As the introduction of ink into water
It isn't an absence
It is an expansion

My deepest condolences
To everyone involved
And to everyone involved
My deepest condolences

Do you ever walk into a room and think
These are all skeletons
These are all skeletons
They're just above ground
Encased in a shell

My deepest condolences
To everyone involved
And to everyone involved

My deepest condolences
Return to the ground
For out of it you were taken
For dust you are

And unto dust you shall return
My deepest condolences
To everyone involved
And to everyone involved

My deepest condolences
And all of that grief
Boiling inside of you could dissolve
Could dissolve into steam

Then escape through your pores
Like a skin-care routine

All things silent in my seeing
All things believable in their leaving
Everything I have I give away
And it goes away
it goes away,
it goes away

All things silent in my seeing
All things believable in their leaving
Everything I have I give away
And it goes away,
it goes away
it goes away

Heart Under

Less obviously shoegazey than the debut, but has a really abrasive industrial or post punk feel which contrasts well with the vocals. Reminds me of Curve or maybe early Cocteaus. Lovely stuff howa776
