Have this hold over me
I inhale, I can’t breathe
Your words they scar my throat
Have this hold over me
I keep going back
I keep going back for more
It is you, it is you that I adore
Keep returning to you
As I reach for one more
I’m afraid that I can’t stop
Keep returning to you
I keep going back
I keep going back for more
It is you, it is you that I adore

We Know Why

He finds himself, sometime near New Year’s
Drinking so much that his organs fail
Do you think he misses us?
She finds herself on the kitchen floor
A whole packet of pills gone
And she’s still wanting some more
These people fell into the night
Some didn’t make it but some survived
When we cry and implore the sky
Make no mistake, we know why
She finds herself feeling dizzy
People watch her atop the cliff
Just wondering, will she?
He finds himself teaching wayward kids
Gunshot to the stomach
What would drive a man to this?
These people fell into the night
Some didn’t make it but some survived
When we cry and implore the sky
Make no mistake, we know why
We
Know
Why

Just as a chest rises and falls
So does my tolerance of you
Make no mistake, I’m not angry
But all I see is a bitterness masked by humour
You are
Cold
No offence, no hard feelings
I’ll be sure to let you know when I’m rattled
I’ll gnash my teeth, mutter under my breath
You can hear me but you can’t really hear me
You are
Cold
You are
Cold
Just as a chest rises and falls
So does my tolerance of you

Matted hair, the sweat of brow
Streaks over dirt-smeared cheeks
Pupils contract in the glare of the sun
You’ve been at this thing for weeks
Working knee-deep in puddles of shit
Your tested back moans in want of rest
Got nothing so far for all of your toil
Can’t show your face back in town just yet
It takes a year just to dig one inch
So large an undertaking and slow
Sift through your filth and the muck of the earth
Until you’ve got one little thing to show
A manic scramble for diamonds
Buried way down deep in your dirt
Suddenly alone, you turn and wonder
Just what's one minute worth?
Today I found a diamond
But I’ve been searching for so long
That I didn’t even realise
That everyone that I know had gone

Brings a tear to my eye to remember your name
How long did you lay there?
Crying out for us, paralysed with pain
How long did you lay there?
If you’d survived you couldn’t have been the same
How long did you lay there?
Brings a my tear to my eye to remember your name
How long did you lay there?
How many days before we came?
What thoughts went through your brain?
Basil
You were so young I can’t remember your name
You could have been anywhere
I yelled at you once and I recall it with pain
You could have been anywhere
After you’d escaped Sarah wasn’t the same
You could have been anywhere
You were so young I can’t remember your name
You could have been anywhere
Were you still alone when the rain came?
What thoughts went through your brain?

Heart Flares

To spend only a moment with you is to bettered
In my darknesses you are my only light
Comg home, coming home to
Home to you, my love again renewed
Never end, let time be fair
The boy is scared at how his heart flares
Suns and stars become dim when you are in sight
Fast asleep, inside I sneak
Try not to wake but my heart aches
Can’t resist a slumbrous kiss
Now her cheek and my lips meet
Heat of sleep, your face radiates
The moment stays and dissipates over days
Never end, let time be fair
The boy is scared at how his heart flares

Come Heavy Sleep Melbourne, Australia
Come Heavy Sleep are an original duo del molto espressivo who, compose and perform folk noir music. Amongst their balladry and meditative improvisation, you'll hear cello, dobro, and voice all coalesce to give weathered flesh to rustic songs about old times and alone times. It is the music of empty country at dusk and a wine in the dark. ... more
