lyrics
You just took off, running through the saw-edged grass
we didn’t even turn we knew
You would come back
No one really knew…we tiptoed around the
Things that set you off like playing with
Matches in the high dry grass
Run, run, there you go, over the creek bed
Why are the brilliant ones always so crazy?
I know you love us more than you love your
Demands but something keeps you running
And only you can stop it.
We let it go in silence.
It takes off the edge.
Sometimes we wrap it up in silence.
Cuz it’s the only way to rescue the wildest friend.
Oh no, there you go, running
Oh no, there you go, running through the saw-edge grass
(turn, turn oh you burn, on the horizon)
Hair whips round your face, tumble through the weekend
(underneath the overpass, over the off ramp)
Something keeps you running and we can only guess
(digging up the things you hid under the footbridge)
Scratches from the branches will only give you away
we didn’t even turn we knew
You would come back
No one really knew…we tiptoed around the
Things that set you off like playing with
Matches in the high dry grass
Run, run, there you go, over the creek bed
Why are the brilliant ones always so crazy?
I know you love us more than you love your
Demands but something keeps you running
And only you can stop it.
We let it go in silence.
It takes off the edge.
Sometimes we wrap it up in silence.
Cuz it’s the only way to rescue the wildest friend.
Oh no, there you go, running
Oh no, there you go, running through the saw-edge grass
(turn, turn oh you burn, on the horizon)
Hair whips round your face, tumble through the weekend
(underneath the overpass, over the off ramp)
Something keeps you running and we can only guess
(digging up the things you hid under the footbridge)
Scratches from the branches will only give you away

Hypnos / Flame
by CHELSEA WOLFEsupported by 5 fans who also own “Saw-Edged Grass”
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 “Saw-Edged Grass”
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.
