lyrics

Oh, when I was younger,
And my parents were out working,
Hear voices in the attic,
Faces in the TV static
Tigers in the garden
Ghosts under the stairs and
Under my bed,
Behind the curtain,
Always feel a presence lurking

Now that I am older,
The only thing I fear is myself.
Yeah, the voices in the attic were mine.

Well, I don't know what I did last night,
I don't know what I said,
To make you run a mile from me,
There's thunder in my head.
Oh, when the day is dying,
I take my potion,
and float above that endless ocean.
But careful friend, this useful tonic,
will boil the blood inside your stomach.

And the only thing I fear is myself,
Yeah, the voices in the attic were mine,
Yeah, the only thing I fear is myself.

Well, I just can't find,
Peace in my soul,
No, I just can't find it.

Well, this persistent illusion,
That everything is moving,
Forward as the weather vane,
It spins, spins, spins.

And the only thing I fear is myself,
Yeah, the voices in the attic were mine,
Yeah, the only thing I fear is myself.

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
