Will I complete the mystery of my flesh? I will rise after a thousand years And I will bleed with sober ease after death, and my eyes crafting a thousand tears There are those who lay words in the grass when I ask my name Certain souls, certain eyes Telling truths, telling lies, and my own anonymity prevents me from knowing my name What’s my name? Tell me, what’s my name? What’s my name? Tell me, what’s my name? Someday I’ll stand on solid land looking out, open eyes holding an honest world. But right now I stand so solemn and full of doubt, broken arms, molding to any word. There are those throwing words in the sky, claiming ‘we’ as a remedy Locking arms, free of shame Both the nameless and named, reaching out for identity While I’m still just learning my name What’s my name? Tell me, what’s my name? What’s my name? Tell me, what’s my name? I will wade out Til’ my thighs are steeped in burning flowers I will take the sun into my mouth And leap into the ripe air alive

You never tell me why or when You wanna be alone, And if you had to lie to me Then where did I go wrong? Denying what you want But cannot ask for in your shame Only puts the weight on you When no one is to blame Waiting for the answer A score to set us right As long as we remember Wounds let in the light I always tried to open up the door That you kept closed What you heard as a lie Was only honesty exposed Everything I told you Real as it could be Was the truth But not the one you wanted from me Waiting for the answer A score to set us right As long as we remember Wounds let in the light

You can’t take what you don’t have Hearts won’t break Lovers won’t get mad I’m content with no regrets What you don’t give you won’t get Something is better than nothing Though, nothing is good enough for some Things we need to remember It’s better to have loved too much than none I don’t wanna be with anyone!

hesitation’s clear nothing’s missing here running out of time will it change my mind when it all comes down when it all comes down to you time repeating our hearts keep beating which way should i go this is all i know who i was before isn’t anymore when it all comes down when it all comes down to you time repeating our hearts keep beating spinning faster ever after

about

Do Not Ignore This! This is the highly inventive, original and compelling new album from explosive US quartet Kneebody. The music is adventurous, exuberant and powerful: music for a new generation, music that will inspire and excite, coming from a band with a committed and distinctive sound. From the off, it commands your attention and surprises at every turn. Kneebody are a band with a long history, a deep mutual respect and a dedicated fan base, yet this album marks a new beginning - a new line-up, a new label, and renewed focus. The album is Chapters, an all-encompassing and powerhouse album that mixes deep grooves and deft melodies with a wide range of guests including Becca Stevens, Gretchen Parlato, Michael Mayo and Josh Dion. Chapters is a modern day great!
