Stolen Babies - Gathering Fingers

The song Gathering Fingers by Stolen Babies of off their album There Be Squabbles Ahead.

I'm going to start a fight, it's clinging to my eyes
I'd hoped to rely on something else
I'm sure it isn't right
I know someone should anchor me
But if you had heard the things I did
How anyone like that could live

I'm sorry you had to see this side of me

A mistake has fallen on my knuckles
Desperately, my wish is to main you
And no one should ever have to feel that way

Taking over the better half of the conscience
No control, no better way to resolve it
Can't see with the blood seeping
Red and rushed, frozen speech
Stinging scales of skin scraping
Scales and skin scraping
Can't think with the heart speeding
I'm ashamed this had to be

And no one can take your place
The last thing you see will be this side of me

i hear an strange voice at 3:38 and i dont understand what does it says.... anyway i love this group!

[adiclm29]

that's just another background voice. i think it repeated what she just said.

Great fucking song.

Dont know why, but this song conjures up images of pirates in a tavern for some reason.

[NoobixCube]

Doesn't it say "desperately, my wish is to maim you", not main? Could just be a typo, but last time I checked, main isn't a verb :P

2:34 - 3:02 is insane.

But great band and great song.

I feel like if Tim Burton got a chance to direct the Godfather this is the music he would use

Best song of a surprisingly good debut album. Hope they release something else sooner or later.

[Hegemonia20]

You appear to be pirates

[freakinweirdocreep]

This song is absolutely perfect... it's a person reflecting upon harsh, violent acts... the song starts slow and clam as most fights do... you can hear mechanical tensions, as thought the springs in a doll were soon about to snap, much like the minds of stressed humans... and once it snaps, the horned instruments go wild, representing relentless thought... the haunting choir in the back adds for the darkness invloved in wanting to hurt others... and in the end, nothing could be done to stop it
