For all it is, and all it was
The spaces in between
I know that I’ve gone too far
I can’t recall the time I lost
The words that slipped from me
I know that I’ve gone too far
I can’t forgive, I can’t forget
I’ve lost the will to fight
I know that I’ve gone too far
All I wanted was someone
Who made me feel alive

With You

You’re never the first to write
I’m always the last to leave
I’m never the one to make a move
You’re always the one to walk free
I know I’ve been dragging my feet
Think I was scared to let go
Thought if I stayed here long enough
My blood would adjust to the cold
But I liked it
Tell me how to be
Open up my eyes to sights
That I have never seen
Yeah, I liked it
Fall into the flow
Pull me into places that
I never thought I’d go
I’d live it all, with you
I’d live it all
I’d live it all, with you
I’d live it all
I’m never the first to admit
I’m always too fast to move on
But you’re always there in the back of my mind
Even when I think you’re gone
You’re never the friend that I want
You’re never the lover I need
You’re always the wound that I never heal
No matter how often I bleed
But I liked it
Tell me how to be
Open up my eyes to sights
That I have never seen
Yeah, I liked it
Fall into the flow
Pull me into places that
I never thought I’d go
I’d live it all, with you
I’d live it all
I’d live it all, with you
I’d live it all

Company

Go slow, I see you fall
Your thigh met mine under the glass
But your eyes don’t know me at all
A mirage to soothe what you’d lost
And honey, I have never known myself
In the company of someone such as yourself
And we circle ‘round the fuel like flies
I turn to your many eyes, your many eyes
Slow break, fibres tearing loose
As I work my way out of this noose
One last message to myself
That you are empty under your shell
And honey, I have never known myself
In the company of someone such as yourself
And we circle ‘round the fuel like flies
I turn to your many eyes, your many eyes
And honey, I have never known myself (Honey, I have never known myself)
In the company of someone such as yourself (In the company of someone else)
And we circle ‘round the fuel like flies (Honey, I have never known myself)
I turn to your many eyes, your many eyes
I turn to your many eyes, your many eyes

Sophie, I don't know how to tell you
I've fallen down a hole
A boy took my body through the darkness
And left it at your door
Now each photograph pierces me
Like acid rain
And I don't think I'll ever be
Clean again
Sophie, I don't know how to tell
I've made a mess of it all
I foolishly thought I'd build it up again
But I'm back here at your door
And now
Each photograph
Pierces my skin like acid rain
And I don't think I'll be clean again
No, I don't think I'll be clean again
No, I don't think I'll be clean again

Cut Me Down

You start making sense and I’m done
The blossom is out but I’ve gone cold
Try to listen to measured words
But every sound blurs
It’s all that I’ve heard
Oh, and I know that we can’t be alone
I can’t hear your voice anymore
Love lost and lessons learned
You still cut me down to the core
You start making sense and I’m gone
Sky turning lilac, truest form
And we move like shadows on the wall
What’s left of us, face blurs
It’s all that I’ve heard
Oh, and I know that we can’t be alone
I can’t hear your voice anymore
Love lost and lessons learned
You still cut me down to the core
And I know that we can’t
When your love is so lost
Oh, and I know that we can’t be alone
I can’t hear your voice anymore
Love lost and lessons learned
You still cut me down to the core

Tainting
03:01
|
|||
|
It’s time to let go of
The pain that you hold
I know it is buried
Deep in your soul
But it is wasting
The days that you know
And it is tainting
The hours you love
And if you could see what you do
To yourself from the outside
I think that you would understand
That your life through a lens is
Distorting
It’s time to let go of
The pain that you hold
I know it is buried
Deep in your soul
But it is wasting
The days that you know
And it is tainting
The hours I love

Knife and the Scar
03:34
|
|||
|
You're closing your eyes
'Cause the light is too bright
And then claim you're afraid of the dark
You can try all you like
But you don't come across
As the fighter you think that you are
And I cannot keep up
With the games that you play
All the moves that you make in my sleep
Did it ever occur to you
Once that I might be
The counter you wanted to keep?
It's a high road
And a lonely path
When you can't see the truth
From the knife and the scar
It's a cold home
For a winter's heart
I wasted the months
Crossing over the years
I was calling your name from afar
You were free, I was choking myself
In the summer, the heat
It was burning me up
And the wounds of stranger
Consumed my emotion
You filled every space in my head
But I cut myself loose
From the ropes that you'd tied
I just needed some time to reflect
It's a high road
And a lonely path
When you can't see the truth
From the knife and the scar
It's a cold home
For a winter's heart
You were long gone
I give up too fast
But I saw through the smoke
And I lifted the mask
You're a cold home
For a winter's heart
Give me something I can go back to
When everything gets better
Give me something I can go back to
When everything gets better
(Give it back)
Give me something I can go back to
When everything gets better
(Give it back)
Give me something I can go back to
When everything gets
It's a high road
And a lonely path
When you can't see the truth
From the knife and the scar
It's a cold home
For a winter's heart
You were long gone
I give up too fast
But I saw through the smoke
And I lifted the mask
You're a cold home
For a winter's heart

Honey

Make your prediction, my friend
Coin the attention again
Does it make it easy to know
You profit from what you stole?
I won’t return to this town
You don’t want me here
And honey can’t sweeten
The taste in your mouth
Ridden with bitter words
Why can’t you just take the time
Hear me out
Am I not worth being heard?
Colours and shapes in your head
Echoing slowly and sad
Take pride in the pain that you had
Take pride in the pain that you had
I won’t return to this town
You don’t want me here
The ghost of you drew me out
And honey can’t sweeten
The taste in your mouth
Ridden with bitter words
Why can’t you just take the time
Hear me out
Am I not worth being heard?

Footnote
03:29
|

|
How do I escape you?
I’m caught between your hands
Always in the background
The footnote to your plans
Don’t go now
Don’t leave
I am slowly
Finding my feet
Don’t go now
Don’t leave
Me guessing in the
Spaces in between
How do I escape you?
I’m caught inside your gaze
Trying to discern you
Minimise the pain
Don’t go now
Don’t leave
I am slowly
Finding my feet
Don’t go now
Don’t leave
Me guessing in the
Spaces in between

Salt

|
You're no one's friend but your own
I tried to reach out
But every touch leaves me cold
You locked me out
Took what you wanted
Not what you needed
I was blindsided
To your faults
Coat my skin in salt
I want it to
Burn
'Cause nothing hurts like you
You're no one's friend but your own
I tried to reach out
But every touch leaves me cold
You locked me out
Took what you wanted
Not what you needed
I was blindsided
To it all
Coat my skin in salt
I want it to
Burn
'Cause nothing hurts like you

Dead Sea

Dead sea
Feel like I’m floating
All I can taste is
Salt on your skin
Lover
Turn me to shadow
Chemical climate
Eroded the limb
You’ve drawn all my love out of me
You’ve draw all of my love
Sulfur
Blinded my senses
You made me smaller
Than I’ve ever been
Now I’m
A thousand feet lower
Starving the life from
Each living thing
You’ve drawn all my love out of me
You’ve draw all of my love
You’ve drawn all my love out of me
You’ve draw all of my love
All I know is
Time is a process
I’ll learn to forget it
All I know is
Time is a process
I’ll learn to forget it
All I know is
Time is a process
I’ll learn to forget it all

Direction Of Travel
by She Makes War

Discovered She makes war from the Songwriter's suite podcast. Been listening for weeks daily on Spotify at work, so had to buy th cd. Beautifully sung, catchy and melodic. At the moment, this is looking like my favourite album of 2016

Never heard of the Anchoress before hearing a gig at the Union Chapel on the day this launched. I bought the tickets entirely on a whim, thinking it might be a nice birthday present for my sister at one of our favourite venues. We both loved the gig - a discovery for us both and so nice when you discover new music by surprise. The songs played from this album were all beguiling interpretations of classics, which we loved, and the rest of the gig was great too. CAD has two new fans.

The renditions of these songs are so beautiful and raw. While I love the originals, these stripped down versions show so much feeling from Laura and it just pierces your soul. Love love love. Thanks!
