the world outside is sick
i dug both our graves until i bled
from my fingertips
they throttle his neck
i cradle his head
my love, you can’t protect us
my love, you can’t be helped
i tried to hold them off you
but their hunger beat me out
they’ll come in through the windows
they’ll take my love down
and i will always love you
but my love is not enough
enough to save you
my baby won’t last the night
they won’t stop until he’s been nailed and crucified
the ringing of the chapel bell echoes down the hill
he won’t be in pain for much longer but i know i will
and i will always love you
but my love has never been enough
enough to save you
Ethel has been one of my fave artists of the last couple years and while I think this EP isn't as strong as Inbred or Preacher's Daughter, Head in the Wall makes me feel like I'm dying (in a good way I promise) and it deserves to be in my little magpie collection big suit david byrne
