It's insane what a song will do to me. Just got this new album, Faces in the Rocks, Mariee Sioux (if you can't tell). Check it out. I'm enjoying "Buried in Teeth" and "Flowers and Blood"

"i never asked for to find my twin, but there you are
no, i never asked for to find my twin, but there you are
and i never asked for the spools to unspin, but there they roll
no, i never asked for the spools to unspin, but there they roll
i never asked for to carve your ribs, but here i go
and i never asked for to carve your ribs, but here i go
and i've never pleaded for a new skin as i do now
i've never pleaded for a new skin as i do now

oh, flowers and blood
build up a new me of flowers and blood
flowers and blood
build up a new me of flowers and blood
build up a new me of flowers and blood
flowers and blood

i'll shoot me a gun made of leaf and branch in this here town
i'll shoot me a gun made of leaf and branch in this here town
and eat me a bowl full of secret and mud, yes, i will
i'll eat eat me a bowl full of secret and mud, yes, i will
if you build up a new me of flowers and blood -- say you will
build up a new me of flowers and blood -- say you will
and i'll see you a baby of drying clay, so don't you cry
i'll see you a baby of drying clay, so don't you cry

oh, flowers and blood
build up a new me of flowers and blood
flowers and blood
build up a new you of flowers and blood
build up a new us of flowers and blood
run us a river of flowers and blood
flowers and blood

build up a new us of flowers and blood
build up a new us of flowers and blood
oh, run us a river of flowers and blood
run us a river of flowers and blood
oh, flowers and blood "

I love night. Anything can happen after the sun goes down, the world is a different place. Blanketed in darkness, monsters creep out from their corners and spread out from souls, pens, speakers. They create a world that is so alike, and at once so separate from the world we see in the light.
