Here

Of silence in pieces here
Voices all disappear
Sacred inside

Doubled our silhouettes
One shape I can't forget
Tears the inside

Here could be sad if empty hands
Were what my head was resting in
Consider them protecting

Footsteps in paradise
Really moving through me now

It's cold lay your hands on me
Don't look into my eyes
I'm burning out the time

Here wrapped in all these chains
Only scent remains
Scares me inside

Feels like I'm sinking fast
Some moments never last
Keep it inside

It's just too bad that empty hands
Are what my head is resting in
I'm rendered unprotected

Fool steps in paradise
Really moving through me now

It's cold don't take your hand from me
They look into my eyes
I'm burning out the time

Footsteps in paradise

Fool steps
 

Here. I love this track. This is the story of a guy so fucked up by constant rejection that when he finds what he imagines is his true love and loses it, he installs himself beneath the boards of her house, looking and listening, living on whatever he can catch-like insects etc- or whatever falls through the cracks above him........well in his head he does but by the last chorus he's beginning to realise what's happening as the medication starts to work. It's a kind of tribute to the Velvet Underground who I used to listen to a lot, they had a track called 'The Gift' about a guy who falls in love with a hooker and sends himself to her in a carton. In her panic to open the parcel she plunges a knife straight through his head killing him! This started with four notes literally of a 10 minute mess about at the end of a day in the studio which became the verse, and I took it home and put it all together that evening.
