Deathbringer

The deathbringer comes in the shape of life
The breathtaker will fill your lungs with light
The truth of the matter is never allowed to escape the embrace of it's nemesis
The memory burns to fit the shape I'm in
The venom turns but it knows it can't break the skin
You kill, you lay me down
I was never revealed
Remained silent until you uncovered me
And I don't mind if you embody me
Cos I can't find what you see
You'll never hold what the camera takes
And your vision blurs as the past cuts you down

Disappearing Act

This disappearing act
You were cut in two and somehow you came out one
This disappearing act
And I can't figure how it's done but I don't want my money back
You can watch until it falls from sight
You will never see it cut right through
So put your hands down into the ground
This disappearing act
Now these strong and gentle hands remove me from sleep
This disappearing act
And holding my lost gaze like a veil you misdirect me back
It's maddening to have to work so hard
Just to find a best friend to walk you in the park
Feelings tugging at you vicious or daft
The urge to leave teeth-marks in someone else's heart
The way they've done to you
You can watch until they fall from the sky
You will never see it cut over the horizon
So put your hands down into the ground

Mantra
04:40
|

|
You're so beautiful
So the mantra goes
Now it pulls apart
Just like a cancer does
A double-blind agent
Grows between
What we've agreed to call you and me
Our hearts shook the earth but our lungs were still
Our trajecting minds direct the needle's drill
We're trapped like hidden miners deep underground
We'll die to protect the vein we've found
We'll die to forget the vein we've found
And I'm so tired of looking at myself
My dreams fill with dark shadows of someone else
And my silhouette all I can see
Why don't you see me

We're All Here
03:46
|
|||
|
We're all here
Gently held now by giant tentacles
We're all here
Hear the silence fill with gathering heartbeats
We're all here
Feel the distant thunder from beyond these tent walls
We're all here
Hurled across the space into safe hands
Time quietly embraces me
I fill with gentle memory
Your smiling face shine over me
I follow, I follow
We're all here

It's not a secret that Mary Webb has always been a beautiful singer and a thoughtful songwriter, and with a couple of shots of Nashville cheer added, gives you more of Mary at her best.
