From the depths I called you, Ma
For your breath and breast so warm and fabled
Your hands reached inside
Grabbed my heart, enlarged, disabled
Hailed for your mercy
An ear that cares
How the blues sound from up there?
With my wet hair, I wipe the blood off of your feet
Carry me through these shark infested waters
Well, you spared me from slaughter for sure
But these sharks are equally in need of a martyr
Oh, kindness shared
Undeserved purest gift, this life you've spared
How the blues sound from up there?
Teeth gnashing, masticating this dumb tongue
Quiet now, quiet now, hear that supplication
Echo into the void
Been received by no one
Oh, my sweet dear
Cold alone poisoning ourselves
Engulfed in our own tears
Signed, blues from down here.
Pull the pin, drop it in, let it wash away your
Time for your favorite story
Of how to achieve golden glory
Wash yourself all squeaky clean
All in white on Hallow's eve
Lessen your desire
Hold your breath so patiently
Never inquire how to be free
Just stay on your knees
You might doubt it
Think there's nothing left for me
To do but stomp my feet
And shout about it
From the depths I called you
Now I'm waiting for an answer patiently
Stuck here in the bottom of this well
It's not the last you've heard from me

Agreed. The "anti-" reviews seem to be of two positions: 1) There's too much going on, and 2) It just sucks. Give it a few listens so it can disentangle itself. Familiarity in this case does not breed contempt, rather it makes the music more accessible. There IS a lot going on; I don't think that's a bad thing.

Was on the fence with this one until I started thinking "Isn't this thing ever going to end?"

I am studying for an exam in 2 hours, and every minute counts. This song is so bad that I am taking the time to log in and give it a 1.

I bought this album, since it was rated so high on everyone's poll. I like it but I'm not quite sure what to make of it yet. Every song sounds different.

It sounds like he is in pain. They should pay people to purchase their CD's instead of the other way around.

Wow, this is different. So I guess it belongs here. Question is for how long.

Dark. Interesting. Singer sounds a bit like an operatic Iggy Pop.
