lyrics

digging in my skin,
splinters in my hands again,
today I wrote a song
about some old friends

I know we went our separate ways
I’d like to think that
you’re doing okay
from time to time I wonder
was it ever supposed to be this way

splinters, in my fingers
from the frays and breaks
the bed that I’ve made is full of,

splinters, in my fingers
everything I couldn’t save
is before me

but you were always right and,
I was always in the way and,
I never meant to bite
the hand that feeds

splinters, in my fingers
from the frays and the breaks,
the bed that I’ve made is full of
things I never should have said,
and better times
when things were well,
splinters getting deeper
and this one’s gonna hurt like hell

even though i know it hurts me
I’d do it all again to feel this pain

at least i know it’s worth something
I push everything good away

drag my hands across the floorboards
of a house we built together

and now it’s left a couple splinters
now it’s left a couple slpinters

Young and Courageous
by Tides Of Man

supported by 4 fans who also own “Splinter”

This album is pretty much a rollercoaster. Starting off with Desolate.Magnificent, it slowly builds up with it's ambient and foggy sound. You keep thinking to yourself "This is nice and all... but when does the rollercoaster even start?" when right at the 2:47 mark you get launched backwards. Great fucking album. Keep it up! It's ambient sections always help me relax and calm down, it's energetic sections... well energize me!! zo
