Lyrics:

Suppression makes a weight
That strips the life of everything
To scared to walk away
Down in your heart
The image of a life

You’re dying just to be there
Crying on your knees

Be weary of the things you want
( the thorn in your paw, you crave)
You can't predict what's coming
Unlock
Your fingers from my hand
You never see the things you have
( there's always a way, to change)
Slice up and not across
When you’re trying to make the deepest cut

Illusion makes a gape
That kills the flow of everything
To dumb to walk away
Down in your mind
You never even tried.

You’re dying just to be there. Just crying on your knees

You couldn't say her name in a single way
You never found the time
She didn't make a sound when she hit the ground
In the image of her life

Be weary of the things you want
( the Thorne in your paw, you crave)
You can't predict what's coming
Unlock
Your fingers from my hand
You never see the things you have
( there's always a way, to change)
Slice up and not across
When you’re trying to make the deepest cut
Be careful of what you desire
You can predict what's coming
Unlock
You fingers from my hand
You never give the things you want
Slice up and not across when you’re trying
To make the deepest cut

[Couldntbeme]

2:10 I could listen to this drum and bass for hours

[MrGravityRider]

This song is so groovy and has such a dark psychedelic vibe to it. Kinda reminds me of The Sound of Animals Fighting. I love it.

[TaalianLIVE]

This song has the icy sadness that is Juturna, very VERY strong showing guys. I can't wait for the rest of this album to drop, so far 3/3.

[TheSoundsThatTravel]

That drum, and bass solo mid trackk.. then Anthony joins in.. that's pure ecstasy 😍🐚 beard, and Stephen are killer on this track.

[CPE]

The Amulet is turning out to be game changer!

[OfLefty]

Wow.. The way they have the verses in 7/8 and the chorus in 8/8 really makes the verses sound frantic and when the chorus hits it's like a big release which really helps the lyrics. This is a bad ass song and the video is awesome, too. It'd be cool if they continued this "story" for "The Hex".

[bkeith]

Deep, deep symbolism in this one. Circa has always been this way, leaves interpretation to the beholder. And rightfully so. This way they produce a thousand stories for a thousand different minds. To me this is exactly what the lyrics say. Be weary of what you want. As soon as you get what you think you need, it end up being what hurts you. They are saying "don't idolize us". Music is worship for them. We are the fans (people in service). They are the pastor (Circa). You the viewer, yourself (the man brought before the pulpit). It all makes so much sense. This isn't another careless video. I like this alot. Even if it doesn't turn out to be my favorite album by them, it is important and it is who they are becoming. I will forever be a fan of this.

[haydenlee]

when the old dude opened his mouth I died. That voice should never come out of his moth.

[Kid_Ying]

This is one of my favorite Circa songs. The sound has always felt "different" but at the same time perfectly Circa. The video is awesome too, especially being relatable having lived near Lancaster, PA for a time.

[EvilDavid]

Damn those lovely guitar melodies are what made me fall in love with you guys and then the drums/bass and the voice/lyrics is the icing on the cake! Thank circa for creating more music to sooth the mind!

[leviblack]

After all the time watching this video I just now saw Anthony Green sitting next to the mother who second guessed her decision at 2:36!!!!

[cjdoyle]

This whole album is great. Especially this song.

[davidstoneback]

God damn man, this song is amazing! I love where they're going with this new album.

[SmartArtzzz]

This is for sure my favorite music video, like in general

[elenaminkov]

this young child who acted in 2:21 is phenomenal

[MA-dhbk]

Amazing job by the director, cinematographer, and lead actor! SO WELL DONE BRAVO

[helloeveryone]

Suppression makes a weight
That strips the life of everything
Too scared to walk away
Down in your heart
The image of a life

You're dying just to be there
Just crying on your knees

Be weary of the things you want
(The thorn in your paw)
You can't predict what's coming
(You crave)
Unlock your fingers from my hand
You never see the things you have
(There's always a way)
Slice up and not across when
(To change)
You're trying to make the deepest cut

Illusion makes a gape
That kills the flow of everything
Too dumb to walk away
Down in your mind
You never even tried

You're dying just to be there
Just crying on your knees

You couldn't say her name in a single way
You never found the time
She didn't make a sound when she hit the ground
In the image of her life

Be weary of the things you want
(The thorn in your paw)
You can't predict what's coming
(You crave)
Unlock your fingers from my hand
You never see the things you have
(There's always a way)
Slice up and not across when
(To change)
You're trying to make the deepest cut

Be careful of what you desire
(The thorn in your paw)
You can't predict what's coming
(You crave)
Unlock your fingers from my hand
You never give the things you want
(There's always a way)
Slice up and not across when
(To change)
You're trying to make the deepest cut

One of the best music videos of 2017. Josh Coll does not disappoint. I really felt something after watching this.

Great song as well. Circa never disappoints.

[zerocrunch]

the part where the camera pans to those girls in the front and they sing "the thorn in your paw" is so dope

[darkshadow]

Anthony can sing any genre with that voice.
