Ek het onlangs op 'n musiekgroep afgekom met die naam Listener. Hulle styl is nie almal se koppie tee nie, maar as hulle lirieke jou nie baie diep raak nie het jy 'n hart van hout. Hulle lirieke worstel met die weerloosheid van mense. In Wooden Heart se/sing ons almal stoei met duiwels en spoke, sommer helder oordag. Die kerk bestaan uit skeepswrakke en uitgespoeldes. Ons almal het genade nodig wat ons self nog nooit aan ander bewys het nie.
Wooden Heart
We're all born to broken people on their most honest day of living
and since that first breath... We'll need grace that we've never given
I've been haunted by standard red devils and white ghosts
and it's not only when these eyes are closed
these lies are ropes that I tie down in my stomach,
but they hold this ship together tossed like leaves in this weathered my dreams are sails that I point towards my true north, stretched thin over my rib bones, and pray that it gets better but it won't won't, at least I don't believe it will... so I've built a wooden heart inside this iron ship, to sail these blood red seas and find your coasts.
don't let these waves wash away your hopes
this war-ship is sinking, and I still believe in anchors
pulling fist fulls of rotten wood from my heart, I still believe in saviors
but I know that we are all made out of shipwrecks, every single board
washed and bound like crooked teeth on these rocky shores
so come on and let's wash each other with tears of joy and tears of grief
and fold our lives like crashing waves and run up on this beach
come on and sew us together, tattered rags stained forever
we only have what we remember
