Old Witch // Keeper Split

by Keeper

supported by

tr_🇺🇦 Keeper is my burning witch substitute but Old Witch steals the show here. "Broken soil..." is a doom band playing a catchy "fast" song with ghoulish vocals which is a) fun b) amusingly irritating to other people entering the office. "Gallows" gives me goosebumps. Favorite track: Broken Soil On An Early Grave.

Before too long we will forget all this Before too long you will forget everything Aching, I kissed your knuckles As you held my hand Hard and hopeful Striving, I pressed your hand to the stained Wooden door And you said, you felt it beating Another brief moment in a day dream 16 steps to the top of the stairway I look down below to find the water rising Like the edges of a winter breeze The foundation wanes and shudders Ignorant truth keeps the tide at bay We will never get to stay here Daydreams of hinted futures She wrote to me: "At the end of every hour, everything is taken away. Lapse in memory or lapse in judgement, you’re at a loss. Touch comes in but ash comes out. Give as you get if you want to move along. I know how hard you pushed me. I know how hard we pressed on. Keep the backdoor cracked when you get home. I want to watch you living. I want to keep living on the outside." Lack luster pleas keep me grounded My fabled sins, my heart beats away Your visions of me are clouded in perfection You won’t see past the night The doorway is just your height The bedroom walls peeled away The secrets of the hollow spaces Take time away from delusion I tried to make you see Words are repeated Your cold feet sting when we lay intertwined The ceiling forces my eyes open As it crumbles The water reaches my heartrending mouth Drowning my words of fear The flood drains as my thoughts are made clear Made clear forever in lies Wash away my sins I held your ear to the door frame And you said you heard it speaking Another brief moment in a day dream
6.	With or Without Pt. 1, 2 & 3 15:15	lyrics
All the stability of a crippled race hours All four legs broken Tattoos on both hands Look who’s having fun now Burying the mare Its eyes blink and then become still Mouth full of dirt And a mind worse off still Worth is only worth it when you're winning Run the soil dry My open mouth pleads onward You can hold her warm body close for a lifetime Till you try to sleep and the soil dries Flesh to flesh Dust in my eyes again The last bird flies casting out my sins Feel my mouth breathe as I count again She says this is home But I’m lost again Soil into clay The water won’t make it to wine Because you couldn’t shake the taste When you press your faith In me To the end of a hard wound stretch of jealousy Fibers split in my hands (hands out fools) Ten to one I'll spit up everything and watch us wallow To the end of a hard locked spell of secrecy Pay your dues Hoisted up Make plans for the underside of commitment as you Drag line to line Left portions burn You create new feelings Strong enough to build a life time Say I do Break neck speeds keep you lawless Both eyes shut as you pin lust to your front door (let me in) I'm a tired stake of property (let me win) Odds are endless your faith will drown When you press too deep Skin your knees as you pray Because humility just won’t let you win
