lyrics

He said
"I think you know my name"
He said,
"I think you know what I came here for."

And if you don't really like it
You can walk out that door

If you don't really like it
You don't have to keep asking for more
Right here on this floor

He said
That I was the 'only one'
He said,
that we would 'have so much fun.'

Well, I tried and I tried
To get back on my feet
the lines on my face
tell me that I need
sleep again,
so I just pretend.

He said
"I think you know my name"
He said
"I think you know what I came here for"
"And if you don't really like it
You walk out that door"
"If you don't really like it.
you don't have to keep begging for more
Right here on this floor."

Alice in Wonderland
Put out your hand
If you were made out of stone
I'd know that you'd catch me
Oh, if you could
'Cause I'm made of wood

May Our Chambers Be Full
by Emma Ruth Rundle & Thou

supported by 4 fans who also own “Made of Wood”

I love the light and shade between Bryan's dirty and Emma's forlorn vocals. There are so many layers to this recording that are driven home through contrast. Plus the riffs are brilliant and get me moving. I can't stop listening to Thou and Emma in general lately. spaceman2250
