turnedamiss A storied listen culminating with a sense of sweet contentment, LHO stands out for being so especially pretty on the ears (though far from the only one!) Favorite track: Lovely Haired One.

Hungry Ghost 00:54

Warm, Your skin is so warm. And your hair smells lovely And your eyes they love me And I love them too. Soft Your lips are so soft. And your voice is soothing And your words they are moving Your breath on my ear. I'm so happy; it hurts A picture of us, but it's not the same A picture of us, my mind the frame.

I wish I were big As big as the moon I'd shine down on you And maybe you would love me If I were big. But I am Afraid So I hide away And watch from afar Through your window, I watch alone I'll keep on waiting for you. I wish I were big, As big as the world I'd hold you in my arms And you would never leave Never leave me
4.
You're cold, Your eyes are empty, but I love them still They still give me something to look forward to As your body bloats Growing bigger, as I grow small You're so cold, But i'm feeling colder as time moves on I want to go home This house is lonely but it's what I own What I own gives me something to hold onto As I fall Falling deeper into this hole You're so cold But I am frozen to the bone

All Seeing I 04:01
There is a shadow behind my back Unchanging as my body deforms Forever casting my fate It's pure, free from my touch And it shines something I can't perceive All while it dances as I fall at it's feet But if I stop and look at my hands Beneath the blood which stains them This shadow emits me a light

The purity of what lies beneath is shining The path is guarded by the appearance of demons Reflecting the truth makes the light shine brighter Peering into the reality of them all In that state, You'll be free Forever-loving purity, shining. The demons would like for you to wage war To drag you along with their fate It's your grasp on their throat which keep them hanging on you Simply letting go annihilates them all Because death is the nature of the demon Life is the power of the pure.

When all is right there are no bugs on the wall They crawl beneath the bed I watch the walls to make sure the bugs aren't there And sure enough...There they are So I say "Let them be, the ants will get them anyway" Your obsession with the pain burns hotter than the flames Which engulfs you? There's a lesson to be learned in the silence that is heard When you listen for the truth He said "Do not fear" The lord had made his instructions clear
9.
Sweet Divine, may I have this dance? I offer you everything that I am Like flower petals laid at your feet I surrender myself most humbly This is not my love, it is all yours The source of all that's good and pure. Oh, I have everything in the world An eternal expanse of moments When moment to moment, I follow you The deepest eyes which awake them all And so and I chant your holy name And thus enjoy this beautiful sound
10.
You're home If you take a look inside There's always something beautiful to find Don't you fret And never forget You're home. Stop searching and find it Stop searching and find you're home.
