Kill the mind, mind, mind with your hands of cold
Kill the mind, mind, mind with your hands of cold
Kill the mind, mind, mind with your hands of cold
Kill the mind, mind, mind with your hands of cold
Against a page of the lady ripped, oh
By thorns and broken with flaws
Spill to the floor
And then we'll crawl
To safety of a love you need
Hear this voice take its toll
Feel my love through your soul
Left with nothing to fight
Kill the mind, mind, mind with your hands of cold
Kill the mind, mind, mind with your hands of cold
Kill the mind, mind, mind with your hands of cold
Kill the mind, mind, mind with your hands of cold
Here in her arms you used to feel moved, oh
It is warm for a moment… gone
Set her free from the things you seek, oh
How far will broken wings fall?
Hear this voice take its toll
Feel my love through your soul
Left with nothing to fight
Kill the mind, mind, mind with your hands of cold
Kill the mind, mind, mind with your hands of cold
Kill the mind, mind, mind with your hands of cold
Kill the mind, mind, mind with your hands of cold
By Thorns was written by Hannah Shepherd.
By Thorns was produced by Graham Ritchie & Tom Iansek.
“By Thorns is about mental illness, and someone close to me who is suffering that. They’ve all got stories. I love music, and I love myself listening to a song by a stranger and being so touched by it and having my own version of what it’s about. I think that’s really important!” (Screenwave, 2014)
