JEX THOTH LYRICS

1. To Bury

Spend your time
In case time brought you change
You tried to hold the past
Nothing was the same
And you prayed it wouldn't last
Dare not shut your eyes
Don't trust yourself to sleep
Hold on to the bones
It's all we get to keep

Hold your bones
Clutching tiny candles
Wanting grand illumination
Lost inside their shadows
Search of desperate situations
Plotting in your mind
Kept you shielded from the cost
Haunted by your visions
Long for good things lost
Remember this my friend
The less you have to bury
The more we keep collecting
The more we have to carry

2. The Places You Walk

It holds you in its arms
Keeps you safe from harm
You're sent due from afar
The places you walk
In those harder parts
Happiest in the dark
Tryin' to squeeze out its void
Probably wrong
The places you walk

Told you flee
Take you into it now
You're running aimlessly
When you tried to kill the will within
Best beloveth, stay with me

Thought you had to decide
'Tween the bones and the hide
Better stop in destruction
The places you walk
Buried deep in your mind
All you know from time
The invisible fiend
You've been warned
Of the places you walk

Take your feet
Walk you into it now
Your heart dries endlessly
You know you tried to kill the will within
Leaving now, let it be

It holds you in its arm
Keeps you safe from harm
You're sent due from afar
The places you walk
In most harder parts
Happiest in the dark
Tryin' to squeeze out its void
From a walk
The places you walk

3. The Divide

Harvesting the stillness
Sharpening the silence
Cutting to the distance
Will they know us when we come
Strong and reckless
Wrong and fearless
Do they hear us
Will the know us when we come

Roar, the dagger
Divide
Roar, the dagger
Divide

Softening the sharpness
Far beyond the distance
Steady in the stillness
Will they be ready when we come

Roar, the hammer
Decide
Roar, the hammer
Decide

4. Into A Sleep

Once you cross the mountain
You came across a fountain you tried to swallow whole
It cut your pretty mouth
You tried to spit it out
But it brought you to the floor

The ground turned over, over and over
And swallowed you whole
You cut its mouth, so it spit you out

You could hardly bear to know it
All the things you lived for, broken
Once the words were spoken
Lost under the dim
Didn't recognize your skin
Couldn't stop the motion
Round her corners
Deep in her shoulders
It searched for you
Curse it to the south
Blood in your mouth
Deep in your shoes

5. And The River Ran Dry

[Instrumental]

6. Keep Your Weeds

The fog that rises
When the constant collides
Dilute your disguises
Things you thought you could hide
Your home of a fire
The way you liked to tow the line
'Til there’s nothing left to conquer
Nothing more to find
Tried to keep the sweets from souring
Wanted to sweep the leaves and brand them
Tried to leave the trees out again
And wanted to keep our weeds from flowering
The sounds that shatters
The moment to heal
The hope that staggers
Every truth you conceal
The farther you wander
The more you wonder
What's real
You choose to suffer
It's yours to feel
Tried to keep the sweet from souring
Wanted to sweep the leaves and brand them
Tried to leave the trees out again
And wanted to keep our weeds from flowering

Wanted to keep the sweet from souring
You wanted to sweep the leaves and brand them
You tried to leave the trees out again
And wanted to keep our weeds from flowering

Tried to keep the sweet from souring
Sweep the leaves and brand them
Tried to leave the trees out again
You wanted to keep our weeds from flowering

7. Ehjä

So eager to please
And too stubborn to learn
Why you were down on your knees
The doorways turn
Ended up right back where you began
Confused and locked out

'Cause you still haven't learned
What you're all about
Yet I figured it out
Your heart doesn't yearn
You feel the fire
Let it burn!

One faltering mouth
And two vacuous eyes
Oh, the rest of you
Never asking why

Just searchin' for a new oneness to hold
To replace your love of a lie
Longin' to live
And flying to die

Let your blood run dry
While you stare at the sky
Oh, baby, precious baby, cry

So churn your weed
Your weapons are worn
Your words don't keep
Inside the storm
You haven't figured it out
Your heart doesn't yearn
You've killed the fired!
Let it burn!

8. The Four Of Us Are Dying

Set forth
Set forth
Demons that dwell
They dwell
They form
They'll form
Circles around us
Around us
Death, beloved one
Swept, before you close down

Let it lie
Let time go by
Let time go by
Let it lie
Let time go by
Let time go by
Let it lie
Let it lie
Let it lie

9. Psyar

She looked like my mother
She looked like me
We spoke to each other
Like wind through the trees
We move together
Like fire wild and free
We stuck to the night
Like the moon and a sea
We sang of worries
We sang of vengeance
We sang of furies
Poured out our silence

She told of wisdom
Told of the ashes
Telling me sweetly
To live while it passes
The raging world
Can nest her beauty
Smiling strangers
Can see her empty
I won’t forget the words she told me
To say a lie so she would know me
To say a lie so she would know me
Psyar
Death

Psyar
Death

Psyar
Death

Psyar
Death

Psyar
Death

Our tears like stones
She carried it beside her
Going slowly
Weighed down in water
The fiery angel
Said she reappears soon
If I don’t see her
To look to the blank moon
