lyrics

Inaudible, your eyes are down
Scars on your face, you kick the ground
You will not say what’s on your mind
Yet somehow you’re joking half the time

But someone is knocking at your door
And you cannot even hear it
‘Cause that wall has been built up for so long
You’re closed down, you cannot feel it
So, let’s take it down, let’s take it down

You like to fight with your hands down
You had to be tough, you’re daddy let you down
You’ll say I’m not true, not here to stay
I’m just stopping by to say, ‘Hey.’

But the truth doesn’t lie outside of you
And your you it isn't hollow
And what your heart is telling you might be unclear
Might be hard for you to follow
So, let’s take it down, let’s take it down
Let’s take it down, let’s take it down

And these cold winds will always be here
Beating us from different directions
And I’m sure that I don’t understand
But if love is real
Well I know it’s something you’ll feel

Where’ve you been? I haven’t heard
Not a text message, not a word
Your brother’s in trouble, that much I know
But that’s not the way you’re meant to go

There’s no one who can tell you what to do
Your story has not been written
And while I will surely pray for you
I can’t sit and watch life happen
So, let’s take it down, let’s take it down
Let’s take it down, let’s take it down

And these cold winds will always be here
Beating us from different directions
And I’m sure that I don’t understand
But if love is real
Well I know it’s something you’ll feel

The Other Half of Everything
by Martin John Henry

At first glance, the landscape on the cover of Martin John Henry’s The Other Half of Everything is a scene of complete isolation. This is Scotland. An archetypal rugged landscape of hills and lochs, as far as the eye can see. On closer inspection, there are some signs of habitation: buildings, roads, farms… but they … Continue reading Album of the Week: The Other Half of Everything → Bandcamp Album of the Day Nov 21, 2011
