lyrics

She’s been fixating on
The appropriation
Of his character placement

She likes what she sees
He’s good but he’s mean
He takes what he wants
And he gives what he leaves

Well the woman loves to write
She lives with open eyes
And the men pour in like water
And they leave just as blind

She sees it in the mirror
Before the reflection settles in
Looking back at her’s a burden
Then a branding, then a skin

And she’ll sit by his side
Looking like the fragile kind
If he only knew, she’s got him fooled
He’s the moth and she’s the light

And she’ll keep it to herself
It’s her patience that she sells
She’ll sketch it out into her mind
Turning her man into a story line

She’ll sketch it out into her mind
Turning her man into a story line

Well the woman listens in
It’s her power and her sin
She’ll sit upright to greet midnight
While the boys fall out and in

When the whisky has been flowing
Talk is cheap but still worth knowing
Every slurred up word
Is caught and turned
Into the careful yearn of poem

And she likes how it sounds
To be lost amongst a crowd
In a whole mess of steps
But it’s the honest mans test
To come back around

And she can’t help the fact
That it’s lost men who love her back
Like a soul that needs saving
And the blank page that was made for it

She’ll forage for
The honest core
And leave the rest of him

Well the woman loves to write
She lives with open eyes
And the men pour in like water
And they leave

Strong drum foundations with melodic bass lines set the backbone of every Maitarra song, which is then accompanied by engulfing lead guitar lines and storytelling poetic lyrics. The band all met through their collective love of music and enjoy nothing more than sharing that music with others. ... more
