    Stretch Your Eyes Lyrics:
    The dark and the ghost
    They dance so sweet and slow
    Dug-out from below there
    to damn the gods
    A grip that will hold
    So tight and close
    Around my throat with
    the weight of all our lives
    You can give to my heart
    Thousand words or more
    You can give to my heart
    Thousand words or more
    The drum you stroke
    Damn that beat so old
    In the ground it grows there
    To damn the sun (oh what will come to life)
    Gates of gold
    In your head you hold
    A kingdom molten
    May the gods be on your side
    You can give to my heart
    Thousand words or more
    You can give to my heart
    Thousand words or more

    True story: I saw her live a few weeks ago. I was just standing there absorbing all of these violins and crescendos and her voice, her voice literally hypnotized me. My palms started getting sweaty. I kept looking for the bathroom sign because I thought I was going to pass out. I didn't understand why I was feeling that way in the moment. I had food in my stomach. Didn't even drink alcohol. It was simply her music. Her music is that powerful.

    Lyrics ♡☆
    The darkness and the ghost
    They dance so sweet and slow
    Dug-out from below there
    To damn the gods
    A grip that will hold
    So tight and close
    Around my throat with
    The weight of all our lives
    You could give to my heart
    Thousand words or more
    You could give to my heart
    Thousand words or more
    The drum you stroke
    Damn that beat so old
    In the ground it grows there
    To damn the sun (oh what will come to life)
    Gates of gold
    In your head you hold
    A kingdom molten
    May the gods be on your side
    You could give to my heart
    Thousand words or more
    You could give to my heart
    Thousand words or more

    i think this album must be listened in a total different way than the two firsts, that's quite hard to change but could be very cool at the end

    Her music has Modern Dance written all over it. Beautiful music.
