scrapped demo from my upcoming project

[lyrics]
empty glass of wine,
shut your eyes and melt away
lemongrass and thyme
flickers as the skies turn to grey
and leave those stresses that you've come to find
sleep beneath the tresses of the willows
i saw the way your hands caress the river
i just wish that i was one with the waters
how saccharine,
to think of you
so here's my lullaby for two

Greenhouse

'rip the seeds from the flesh of the fruit, bite down on each seed, savouring the tart flavour of its crimson juice. once you have finished taking what you want, toss to the wayside to rot in the soil from which it came from.'

so it is, or is it so
sinner’s hands take over my own
o knowing god, offer me your wisdom
cause i can’t lose more than i have now

take those seeds out your mouth
silence won’t dismiss your vows
i can’t keep it up
i can’t keep it up

submit to man, or so i’m told
freedom once a tale of old
only once my womb rots within me
will i have the worth that i’ve prayed for

take those seeds out of me
inertia won’t dismiss your greed
i can’t keep it up
i can’t keep it up

i can’t keep it up (how many more?)
