lyrics

The line is shoved through (us), we lost who we were.
Below the bottom, our worth begins to blur
Lick our wounds though they’ll never heal
Kiss the feet of our captors for which we kneel

We only accept the love we think we deserve
We bite the pain we believe that we have earned
Pardon the world and its laws
Despite its people and flaws
Anchored by shackles and ravaged by its claws

The line erodes, we pushed ourselves aside
We live the rot, we begin to eat the lie
We never thought we’d fall so far behind
Drag our knuckles in our own blood wasting time

Desperately dusting old bones
In a room full of corpses alone
This skin was meant to be
Outgrown. We can’t go on.

May Our Chambers Be Full
by Emma Ruth Rundle & Thou

supported by 19 fans who also own “With A Certain Sorrow In Our Eyes”

I love the light and shade between Bryan's dirty and Emma's forlorn vocals. There are so many layers to this recording that are driven home through contrast. Plus the riffs are brilliant and get me moving. I can't stop listening to Thou and Emma in general lately. spaceman2250

Bleak and hopeless... and I absolutely love it. Hard to pick a favourite track, honestly; all of them are masterpieces in their own right. brentos27
