Gone were the days where she would
Live life trapped in her father's world
Her father's world
She'd dream at night a place where
She could live and oh,
She would never die
Where she could fly
Ooh, she'd prove her father wrong
She'd prove him wrong
Those biting words
As sharps as diamonds
But not nearly as beautiful
A verbal battle as hard as stone
Begging on her knees,
She's pray for someone who'd listen
As those hazel eyes would glisten
Trapped inside his world
Gone were the days where she would
Live life trapped in her father's world
Her father's world
She'd dream at night a place where
She could live and oh,
She would never die
Where she could fly
Where she could fly
Once again she suffers
One more night trapped with him
But under the covers
Lies a world that's bound within her mind
She searches for the answers here
Where foul words just can't come near
And the timid girl she was is lost
When she finds the woman she'll become
The woman she'll become
(You know she's stronger than your words)
This is the woman you'll become
Gone were the days where she would
Live life trapped in her father's world
Her father's world
She'd dream at night a place where
She could live and oh,
She would never die
Where she could fly
Where she would fly
Where she would fly

Repeated Mistakes

What a fool I was
To take you seriously
But it was adherence to your ideals
That kept on pulling me
To you
Keep your manufactured dreams
Please hold your tongue
Sweet lies sting worse from a rancid mouth
You know exactly what you've done
Stay there! I'll suffocate
In this game you hold so dear
You loved me, but at every failure,
You watched me fall
So cold, your touch,
It takes my breath away
Destroys my mind
And steals my soul from me
What a fool I was
Pulling me under
Drowning beneath your lovely stare
With every breath you gave to me,
Your icy claws sank deeper and deeper
Into my chest I'm holding my breath
But every moment you spit this lie
I'm drowning, I'm dying
Dying again and again
Dying again and again
Dying again and again
Over and over
I'm downing
I'm dying again
I need to breathe!
So cold, your touch,
It takes my breath away
Destroys my mind
And steals my soul from me
What a fool I was
Never again will you hold me underneath
These scars will not bleed any longer
"Bow before thee, Mother Creation"
Well these knees have no intention
Of bending anymore
I won't let you hold me down anymore!
So cold your touch
(It takes my breath away)
Destroys my mind
(And steals my soul from me)

Fool Me Twice....

I'm aware of how far I fell,
But it's hard to stand up
When all you see are the lies
Don't you dare tell me you care,
Then send a blade into my side and tell me to stand up,
I can see through your disguise
I see you
My mind, this crumbling tower
You beg me for the key
And wonder why you're not let inside
Well I know as soon as you're in,
You'll burn this whole place down
To its foundation
Can you feel the flames
Eating at my heart and my soul
Since you've trapped me here
I'll burn all alone
Take your tears and falsehoods and
Never come near
Don't call this prison my home
Your insults don't keep me warm at night
My mind, this crumbling tower
You beg me for the key
And wonder why you're not let inside
Well I know as soon as you're in,
You'll burn this place down
To its foundation
Beg me to stay, cuz you cannot live
With this guilt in your heart
"You are my son"
Love me! (Am I yours?)
Need me! (Am I safe?)
Fight for me! (Fight for)
Die for me! (Die for)
"You are my son"
Love you (You are mine)
Need you (You are safe)
Fight for you (Fight for)
Die for you!
"You are mine"
My mind, this crumbling tower
You beg me for the key
And wonder why you're not let inside
Well I know as soon as you're in,
You'll burn this place down
Down the ground
My only home
My only home
My only
"No-good bastard"
"End him faster"
Broken, battered home

The Dreamer
04:33

It didn't come overnight to take you in your sleep
It built over time, surviving on the love I'd left behind
Something I once knew, but know no longer
This was all meant to cool the flames of a fire
Built with love of my own two hands and arms
I was never meant to have yours
And I could never give you mine
The dreamer's only fault was in dreaming
He can't be blamed for avoiding the nightmares
He knows what can be born in the darkness
And what horrors await when he wakes
NO, we can't keep this going on
Every moment that we live this way brings us closer
To a war of words and two broken hearts
Although the end can't come too soon, please remember
I will never feel how I felt again
But we can't just keep ignoring this
Our dream is tearing us apart
The dreamer's only fault was in dreaming
He can't be blamed for avoiding the nightmares
He knows what can be born in the darkness
And what horrors await when he wakes
My love, we've only just begun
I claimed this world for you
Please forgive me for doubting our dream
Please understand
The dreamer's only fault was in dreaming
He can't be blamed for avoiding his nightmares
He knows what can be born in the darkness
And what horrors await when he wakes

All the Roads that Lead Us Home [2015 Album]
by Gaelynn Lea
Gaelynn Lea won NPR's Tiny Desk Contest, and it's easy to see why. Haunting, beautiful country songs, laced up with weeping fiddle lines.

The two epic tracks on the latest from BC group Lakeman are mind-melters, opening slow and pensive before erupting into near-doom metal.

The eclectic influences of this California group shine through on these creeping tracks, full of dark electronics and intimate vocals.
