Lyrics :
I hold your hand while you’re holding up the candle.
You understand what you’re bold enough to handle.
You understand what to say.
My beautiful girl.
(x2)
A dollar-store, rubber Jesus on the mantle.
You stash your pills at the bottom of his sandals.
His feet are wearing away.
My beautiful girl.
(x4)
For the world,
You’ve come this far.
Deep into the dark we go.
Hell was painted on your arms.
People live with scars I know.
Your mama screamed when you thought she couldn’t scream more.
Your daddy’s deaf so he never heard the screen door.
You walk the old desert road.
My beautiful girl.
(x4)

Place to fall in love.
I wanted to smile.
All the Camels on the rug.
A smoker’s river Nile.
Made an angel in the sand.
What’s an angel gonna do?
At the glory of her hand.
At the glory of the moon.
No one ever understands the way I move.
**Frozen in the world,
Lucy takes a picture.
Morphine on the spoon.
I’m waiting to drown.
At the glory of the moon,
I’m calling to you now.
Made an angel in the sand.
What’s an angel gonna do?
At the glory of her hand.
At the glory of the moon.
**
And we walk the railroad steel.
And we walk the cold night Earth.
And we catch a little breeze
when I catch you in the dirt.
And I feel the autumn die
and the winter hold its keep.
I can see it in your breath.
I can taste it on your cheek.

Shoegaze royalty. Often aped, but never beaten, this might be their strongest release yet. Mesmerising.

Everything about this album just feels so textured, tortured, but healing as well. I'm amazed at Trevor's production abilities.
