Florence + the Machine - Tear Out My Tongue (Rare Demo)

Lyrics:
Old hope got stuck in your throat,
Wound it's way round your neck caused you to choke.

Old hope made of rope, that held you tight when the chair legs broke.

When they found you hangin in the woods, you said atleast now I don't have to kind nor good. I'll be cruel and I'll obscene tear out my tongue cause I've been redeemed.

When they found you hangin in the woods, you said atleast now I don't have to kind nor good. I'll be cruel and I'll obscene tear out my tongue
Cause I've been redeemed.
Take my(don't know what she says) or the grave, no shy glance, no coy restiants, and I wont hang my head, and I wont repent, wont face the wall and (don't know that one either)

5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10...

Well they tore you down and they tore out your tongue and they made you kneel for all the things that you'd done. but you wouldn't cry, you wouldn't beg, you just screamed and tore out your teeth instead.

And when they found you hangin in the woods, you said atleast now I don't have to kind nor good. I'll be cruel and I'll obscene tear out my tongue cause I've been redeemed.

I <3 Florence. Prefer the version without strings, but they give it a kinda folky feel. I dunno :D Florence just amazes me.

[willowsendeavor]

you just grinned (not screamed) and tore out your teeth instead.

Has anyone here read Delirium by Lauren Oliver? ***MINI SPOILER**** This song could totally be the one Lena heard when going to that party thing at the barn.

[flouresentlightbulbp]

i prefer the one with no violins personally

it's a lot more powerful for me

[hadlesdabizness]

how is it possible for one person to be this talented

[cryptocanis]

Anyone else read "Half-Hanged Mary" by Margaret Atwood? This reminds me of it so much! it's got a lot of the same feel to it.
