lyrics
Star light, blistering white (black water)
A thousand motorbikes (black water)
And housewives still on the run
From (black water) and
Killer spelling bees (black water)
The boys are breaking guitars
In (black water)
And eating little girl hearts in
(black water)
Kind of lovable but kind of
Carelessly cruel
Sort of unstoppable
But officially going nowhere
The colored lights leave you hypnotized
But you’re frozen in the spotlight’s glare
So never be the pretentious one
And never be the one who achieves
Just rock it straight from the crypt
Into (black water)
That’s all it takes to be hip
In (black water)
C’mon, c’mon, c’mon
Wash away your mistakes
In (black water)
A thousand motorbikes (black water)
And housewives still on the run
From (black water) and
Killer spelling bees (black water)
The boys are breaking guitars
In (black water)
And eating little girl hearts in
(black water)
Kind of lovable but kind of
Carelessly cruel
Sort of unstoppable
But officially going nowhere
The colored lights leave you hypnotized
But you’re frozen in the spotlight’s glare
So never be the pretentious one
And never be the one who achieves
Just rock it straight from the crypt
Into (black water)
That’s all it takes to be hip
In (black water)
C’mon, c’mon, c’mon
Wash away your mistakes
In (black water)

Hypnos / Flame
by CHELSEA WOLFEsupported by 5 fans who also own “Black Water”
Eerie, haunting, melancholic and unbelievably sexy. Chelsea Wolfe has always been a very versatile songwriter, from gothic doom to noise, to acoustic balads and everything inbetween.

Unknown Rooms: A Collection Of Acoustic Songs
by CHELSEA WOLFEsupported by 4 fans who also own “Black Water”
The first time I listened to 'Pain is beauty', I was instantly enamored of Chelsea Wolfe's unique sound . It is dark and raw but simultaneously sensual. On this acoustic album there is an added fragility which I find enchanting.
