  The Oh Hellos-''Bitter Water'' 

 Αlbum : "Dear Wormwood"2015

Oh fair and flighty love,

My aerolite above,

The only dove I see

Could you love me more

If by the sun and moon I swore

That I would never flee?

I still taste you on my lips

Lovely bitter water

The terrible fire of old regret is honey on my tongue

I know I shouldn't love you

But I do

I feel it in my soul

I feel the empty hole

The cup that can’t be filled

I feel it in my blood

In the fire and the flood

The beast that can't be killed

Even now you mark my steps

Lovely bitter water

All the days of our delights are poison in my veins

I know I shouldn't love you

I know

I am not a fool entire

No, I know what is coming

You'll bury me beneath the trees I climbed

When I was a child

I know I shouldn't love you

But I do

The Oh Hellos: ''Where Is You Rider?''

 Αlbum : "Dear Wormwood",2015

Was it you 'mid the fire and the ember?

Were you there to bedevil and beguile?

See, your face wasn't quite as I remember

But I know that wicked shape to your smile

Bury me as it pleases you, lover

At sea, or deep within the catacomb

But these bones never rested while living

So how can they stand to languish in repose?

He has thrown down the cavalry as gravel sinks

And as the stone founders underneath the sundered sea of red and reed

The shadow of Hades is fading

For he has cast down leviathan, the tyrant, and the horse and rider

Where is your rider?

He will hold with all of his might the armies of night,

Still as boulders laid to the side 'til we pass by

He has hoisted out of the mire every child

So lift your voice with timbrel and lyre

"We will abide, we will abide, we will abide"

 3.

The Oh Hellos: ''Soldier, Poet, King''
Αlbum : "Dear Wormwood",2015 

There will come a soldier

Who carries a mighty sword

He will tear your city down, o lei o lai o lord

O lei, o lai, o lei, o lord

He will tear your city down, o lei o lai o lord

There will come a poet

Whose weapon is his word

He will slay you with his tongue, o lei o lai o lord

O lei, o lai, o lei, o lord

He will slay you with his tongue, o lei o lai o lord

There will come a ruler

Whose brow is laid in thorn

Smeared with oil like David's boy, o lei o lai o lord

O lei, o lai, o lei, o lord

Smeared with oil like David's boy, o lei o lai o lord

O lei, o lai, o lei, o lord

He will tear your city down, o lei o lai

The Oh Hellos: ''Pale White Horse''
Αlbum : "Dear Wormwood",2015

Down they fell like the children of Eden

Down they fell like the tower

As the land relinquished her ghost

Heed the sirens, take shelter, my lover

Flee the fire that devours

But the sight held me fixed

Like a bayonet against my throat

Neither plague or famine tempered my courage

Nor did raids make me cower

But his translucent skin

Made me shiver deep within my bones

It was a pale white horse

With a crooked smile

And I knew it was my time

It was the raging storm

Of a foreign war

And a face I'd seen before 

 5.

The Oh Hellos: Exeunt

 Αlbum : "Dear Wormwood",2015

I was all alone, we were young, you were like wine

Heady as the fog rolling in o'er the hillside

Lovely as the song in the air as the wind blows

Opiate as the cold of the frost on the windows

Lo, the rose is gone from my eyes (so deceiving)

So, my little dove, I'm afraid I am leaving

Now, I am not the fool I was when I was younger

Crocodile eyes, I have seen how you hunger

Fluttering your lashes, like ashes and embers

Warm and bright as fire devouring timber

No, I cannot trust what you say when you're grieving

So, my love, I'm sorry, but still: I am leaving

Even when you hunt me with ire, relentless

Batter down my door when you find me defenseless

I will not abide all your raging and reaving

I have set my mind and my will: I am leaving

 6.

The Oh Hellos - ''Dear Wormwood''

 Αlbum : "Dear Wormwood",2015

When I was a child

I didn’t hear a single word you said

The things I was afraid of

They were all confined beneath my bed

The years have been long

And you have taught me well 

To hide away

The things that I believed in

You've taught me to call them all escapes

Well I know who you are now

I know who you are

I know who you are now

Standing on the threshold, 

I saw another world beyond myself

And in my hour of weakness 

You were there to see my courage fail

The years have been long 

And you have taught me well 

To sit and wait

In planning without acting

Instead of me becoming what I hate

Because I know who you are now

I know who you are

I know who you are now

I have always known you 

And you have always been there in my mind

But now I understand you 

And I will not be part of your designs

Because I know who I am now

And all that you’ve made of me

And I know who you are now

And I hate you my Enemy

And I know who I am now

And I know who I want to be

And I want to be more than

This devil inside of me

The Oh Hellos: ''This Will End''

 Αlbum : "Dear Wormwood",2015

No, I am not afraid to die

It's every breath that comes before

Heartache I've heard is part of life

And I have broken more and more

But I can hope how this will end

With every line, a comedy

That we can learn to love without demand

But with unreserved honesty.

If I am not afraid to die

And you were crouching at my door and suffering

Is all to gain in life

Then what is all this waiting for?

Cause I can see how this will end

In all its bitter tragedy

I'll give you all I have to spend

And you'll give nothing back to me.

I will wait for this to end

The back and forth; the battery

For you at last to comprehend

The kind of love of which I speak.

 8. 

The Oh Hellos: ''Caesar'' 

 Αlbum : "Dear Wormwood",2015

Hear on the wind how the pendulum swings

Feel how the winter succumbs to the spring

Over the palisade morning will break

Rise up to meet it, oh sleeper awake

Gather the soldiers, the heir to enfold

Crown him and give him a scepter to hold

Sound every horn as the columns extend

Up to the hill where the king will ascend

Look to the sky where the sign will be shown

Heaven and earth and the king on his throne

Look to the sky where the sign will be shown

The Oh Hello's-''The Truth Is A Cave''

 Album:''Through The Deep Dark Valley''

I was young and naive

as I was told, so I believed

and I was told there's only one road that leads you home

and the truth was a cave on the mountainside

and I'd seek it out until the day I died

I was bound and determined

to be the child that you wanted

but I was blind to every sign you left for me to find

and the truth became a tool that I held in my hand

I wielded it, but I didn't understand

I got tired of giving more than you gave to me

and I desired a truth I wouldn't have to seek

but in the silence I heard you calling out to me

10.

 The Oh Hello's-''Like The Dawn'' 

 Album:''Through The Deep Dark Valley''

I was sleeping in the garden when I saw you first

he'd put me deep, deep under so that he could work

and like the dawn you broke the dark and my whole earth shook

I was sleeping in the garden when I saw you

at last, at last

bones of my bones and flesh of my flesh, at last

you were the brightest shade of sun I had ever seen

your skin was gilded with the gold of the richest kings

and like the dawn you woke the world inside of me

you were the brightest shade of sun when I saw you

and you will surely be the death of me

but how could I have known?

11.

 The Oh Hello's- ''Wishing Well ''

 Album:''Through The Deep Dark Valley''

I ran like a speeding train

cut my hair and changed my name

only had myself to blame

for the company I was keeping

curse my restless wandering feet

prone to wander endlessly

all the love you gave to me

it wasn't enough to keep me

oh, I stole from my father all I thought I could sell

tossed his copper, and I watched as it fell

but there wasn't any water in the wishing well

bent my knee to many kings

idols of prosperity

heard that dollar calling me

so I sought it in the city

oh, I stole from my father all I thought I could sell

tossed his copper, and I watched as it fell

but there wasn't any water in the wishing well

for my soul, he made an offer

and to the dust again I fell

and oh, that devil's got a hold on me now

because there wasn't any water in the wishing well

12.

 The Oh Hello's-''The Valley''

 Album:''Through The Deep Dark Valley''

We were born in the valley of the dead and the wicked

that our father's father found

and where we laid him down

we were born in the shadow of the crimes of our fathers

blood was our inheritance

no, we did not ask for this

will you lead me?

we were young when we heard you call our names in the silence

like a fire in the dark

like a sword upon our hearts

we came down to the water and we begged for forgiveness

shadows lurking close behind

we were fleeing for our lives

13.

The Oh Hello's-''I Have Made Mistakes''

 Album:''Through The Deep Dark Valley'' 

I have made mistakes, I continue to make them

the promises I've made, I continue to break them

and all the doubts I've faced, I continue to face them

but nothing is a waste if you learn from it

and the sun, it does not cause us to grow

it is the rain that will strengthen your soul

and it will make you whole

we have lived in fear, and our fear has betrayed us

but we will overcome the apathy that has made us

because we are not alone in the dark with our demons

and we have made mistakes

but we've learned from them

and the sun, it does not cause us to grow

it is the rain that will strengthen your soul

and it will make you whole

and oh my heart, how can I face you now?

when we both know how badly I have let you down

and I am afraid of all that I've built

fading away

14.

  The Oh Hello's-''Eat You Alive''

 Album:''Through The Deep Dark Valley''

He said to me,

child, I'm afraid for your soul

these things that you're after, they can't be controlled

this beast that you're after will eat you alive

and spit out your bones

she'll string you along and she'll sell you a lie

but there's nothing but pain on the edge of a knife

there is no courage in flirting with fear

to prove you're alive

I've seen the true face of the things you call Life

the voice of the siren that holds your desires

but Death, she is cunning, and clever as hell

and she'll eat you alive

oh, she'll eat you alive

15.

The Oh Hello's-''   In Memoriam  ''

 Album:''Through The Deep Dark Valley''

Well, it's a long way out to reach the sea

but I'm sure I'll find you waiting there for me

and by the time I blink, I'll see your wild arms swinging

just to meet me in the middle of the road

and you'll hold me like you'll never let me go

and beside the salty water, I could hold you close,

but you are far too beautiful to love me

it's a long climb up the dusty mountain

to build a turret tall enough to keep you out

but when you wage your wars against the one who adores you,

then you'll never know the treasure that you're worth

but I've never been a wealthy one before

I've got holes in my pockets burned by liars' gold,

and I think I'm far too poor for you to want me

it's been a long road, losing all I've owned

and you don't know what you've got until you're gone

and it's a nasty habit, spending all you have, but

when you're doing all the leaving, then it's never your love lost

and if you leave before the start, then there was never love at all

and heaven knows I'm prone to leave the only God I should have loved,

and yet you're far too beautiful to leave me

16.

The Oh Hello's-''  I Was Wrong  ''

 Album:''Through The Deep Dark Valley''

I was born at the hands of the potter

and I was torn from the start

I was torn between my god and my Father

I was born at the dawn of our folly

and I was young, and stubborn to the bone

as I took from the tree that was rotting

I took my chance and bit down deep

the weight of the world was crippling

now I'll hide my shame with woven leaves

I was wrong

and I'm so, so sorry

I knew you'd never forgive me

but I was wrong

and I'm so, so sorry

17.

The Oh Hello's-''  The Lament of Eustace Scrubb  ''

 Album:''Through The Deep Dark Valley''

Brother, forgive me

we both know I'm the one to blame

when I saw my demons

I knew them well and welcomed them

but I'll come around

someday

father, have mercy

I know that I have gone astray

when I saw my reflection

it was a stranger beneath my face

but I'l come around

someday

when I touch the water

they tell me I could be set free

so I'll come around

someday

18.

The Oh Hello's-''   Second Child, Restless Child  ''

 Album:''Through The Deep Dark Valley''

See, I was born the second child

with a spirit running wild, running free

and they saw trouble in my eyes

they were quick to recognize the devil in me

see, I was born a restless child

and I could hear the world outside calling me

and heaven knows how hard I tried

but the devil whispered lies I believed

can you hear it hanging on the wind?

can you feel it underneath your skin?

you've got to go on, further than you've ever gone

you've got to run far from all you've ever known

you've got to run far from all you've ever known

19.

The Oh Hello's-''Hello My Old Heart''

(...)

Hello, my old heart,

How have you been?

Are you still there inside my chest?

I've been so worried,

You've been so still,

Barely beating at all.

Oh, don't leave me here alone.

Don't tell me that we've grown for having loved a little while.

Oh, I don't want to be alone.

I want to find a home, and I want to share it with you.

Hello, my old heart,

It's been so long.

Since I've given you away.

Every day I add another stone

To the walls I've built around you

To keep you safe.

Oh, don't leave me here alone.

Don't tell me that we've grown for having loved a little while.

Oh, I don't want to be alone.

I want to find a home, and I want to share it with you.

Hello, my old heart,

how have you been?

How is it being locked away?

image: http://static.urx.io/units/web/urx-unit-loader.gif

Don't you worry.

In there you're safe.

And it's true, you'll never beat,

But you'll never break.

Nothing lasts forever.

Some things aren't meant to be.

But you'll never find the answers

Til you set your old heart free.

Til you set your old heart free.
