lyrics

(March on my soul nor like the laggard stay)

Mine-- on whose heart as a worm you trod
Mine-- on whose heart like a crow doth hover
Jagged as the scribbles of an unwound tongue
Broken as the promise of a soul unsung
Merging imperceptibly into the wind
Where voices of the children are unheard and unhinged
Mine-- on whose heart as a sea you’ve bled
Drowning in the slander of your venomous blight
Reaching for the rhythm of your syllabic kite

Now I lay you down to sleep
I pray the Lord your soul to keep
Baa Baa Black Sheep, have you any wool?
Yes, Sir! Yes, Sir! One urn full.

You promised me the syllables of light
I’m drowning in the pirouettes of night
You promised me the syllables of light
I’m drowning in the pirouettes of night
You promised me the syllables of light
I’m drowning in the pirouettes of night

(I am not your broken promise)
(I am not your broken promise)
(I am not your broken promise)
(I am not your broken promise)

But you-- on whose heart as a dove I flew
You-- on whose heart like a prison does truth
Riddled as the ramblings of a sinful tongue
Taken by the lesions of a god undone
Ceding imperceptibly into his will
Where voices of the dying are unheard and unstill
You-- for whose heart as a sea I’ve bled
Drowning in the hither of your thithering sight
Reaching for the rhythm of your syllabic kite

Now I lay you down to sleep
I pray the Lord your soul to keep
Baa Baa Black Sheep, have you any wool?
Yes, Sir! Yes, Sir! One urn full.

You promised me the syllables of light
I’m drowning in the pirouettes of night
You promised me the syllables of light
I’m drowning in the pirouettes of night
You promised me the syllables of light
I’m drowning in the pirouettes of night

(You were just a broken promise)
(You were just a broken promise)
(You were just a broken promise)
(You were just a broken promise)

Fantastic album by a band we wish we had known about sooner... The Cravats push boundaries the way all great artists should. Jack of None

Absolutely awesome production by an exceptional group of artists. Clipping is experimental hip-hop at its finest, in our humble opinion. Jack of None
