about
Whilst working on the new album, Lucifer, this song made itself known to me and I could not shake it. I see it as a kind of folk song, pushed through anxiety and distress, but hopefully still possessed of some beauty.
As it would not fit with the other songs that are coming together, I thought I would release it here, as much as anything to try and relieve its weight. Hopefully, it will bring something much lighter to you.
lyrics
Demons
Did you hide then
my sad-eyed lover
Did you long for
another way
Were my hands
no longer gentle
Against all
I could not keep at bay
Could the nights
provide no more shelter
against demons
that came in the day
With their tongues
all glistening silver
to carry your thoughts away
Oh don't
you miss
your sorrow
Oh won't
you bear
this weight
Oh come
give up
your longing
And leave
your heart
to break
And you confessed to me all
your intentions
Without finery
and without grace
Standing naked and cold
in the bathroom
As your reflection
started to fade
And the light fell through the lace curtains
and lit up your tear-stained cheeks
As you tied my arms tightly around you
and promised me you’d never leave
And you carried my wounds
And you carried my scars
And you carried my love away
