1.
Dip yours hands into the ink Study your fingerprint A shallow grave awaits for you If all you knew was how to bleed her You know just how to bleed her You know how to bleed Happiness exhausts her The blood knows how to feed
2.
Stranger in my skin From a distance, you write to me A bedouin ghost An aching home Bloody rose in my cheek Silence begets my reply Worry lines build you and me She blurs the line, she errs on fact Tattoos a list of crimes Begins again There’s mail you need to collect Don’t ask me how I know Two nights in a row outside your house Writing, expecting clarity Nothing but darkness colours me Swallow your pain You’ve been here before You’ll be here again You pulse through my veins My love for you is Suffocating Bare your chest as they come With their loaded questions and loaded guns You self implode and then become Something to bind your idle hands and abandoned orphan heart Quietly, you delay Company, so I stay The night, a filler for your sheets I know you don’t love me I’m happy to be naive Fever breaks me Keeps her weighed in apathy Your cornerstone Your pillar to atone Dear girl, where do you go? Don’t tell my mother It’s better she don’t know How dark I can be Don’t tell my mother It’s better she don’t see How the bleeders hunt for me
3.
Drifter 02:48
Oceans fall Down my shoulders Words come slow Don’t fight the tide Shadows call Ropes won’t hold her Tomorrow’s guilt will Drown with me Waves break their seas On you, on me Sins give their knees For you, for me
4.
Stones throw Across the river Watch the ripples collide Hollow bones Animate my skin Tell me did your bones collide? Water marks Are few and far But you’re still young my son (soon you’ll see) And these scars Breathe underneath Between the fear of naked lungs So you brood Your skeleton it swoons Don’t be fooled by the mire Battered and bruised Your skeleton it swoons With like minds on the mile
5.
Shallows 04:07
Your tears stain the pillow-case And there I watch you stay Soaking in your sheets You disintegrate If I could take your burdens I'd turn them into dust But your floods they weep Your hours they bleed Weeks go by Your oceans eyes Not unlike mine And I sink trying to swim to you And I sink trying to swim If I could take your burdens I'd turn them into dust But your floods they weep If I could sweep the agony from your eyes Make you see yourself through mine Weeks go by And I sink trying to swim to you And I sink trying to swim If I could free you from all your guilt Wean you down from those pills Maybe then you wouldn't wear so thin And I could spin your sorrow into silk Oh you know, you know she doesn't love you But oh, she knows that she should And I sink trying to swim to you And I sink trying to swim I'm sorry if I sink you too
6.
Lay your head down, I don’t mind Stir your slumber, don’t unfold Spill your secrets to the sea, it’s time To cross the bridges that are burning you alive Heavy hearts and heavy sheets I plead the sun not to rise Our sadness fuse our sleep spindles weave Your fractured heart into mine Stay with me It’s safer with me We’re both blinded by another You don’t see me And I know you love her For reasons reason won’t conjure I sow my lips to keep your secrets The things you’ve never told before And when the evening weighs the sun down I count the spindles you adorn Sleep. Weave. Sleep my dear. I’ll be here. Until morning calls my bluff.

E Cosi 06:32
Is it dark where you are? Colourful minds turn to grey Vivid memories will fade Cast lies aside no matter how white they remain Is it dark where you are? A life alone to comprehend Watch you begin your descent With nothing to lose but the noose around your neck Chaos ensues Walls close in Tattoo your fingerprints all over my skin And in hindsight Shapes of you will decorate my mind She ruined you
8.
Beast 01:54
She knows how to bleed you She knows how to bleed She knows how to bleed you The blood knows how to beat The blood is but a beast

about

Produced by Lachlan Mitchell (The Jezabels), ‘Creature of Sight’ is the debut LP by Sydney based solo artist Lëura. The young artist offers a confessional and thought provoking binary of the emotional cycle between the ‘hunter’ and the ‘bleeder’, concluding as each persona blurs the lines, bleeds into the other, and comes full circle.

Riding a wave of recognition for lead singles 'Drifter' and 'Shallows', the full release highlighted two further singles; ‘Skeleton Swoon’ – a gentle and hypnotizing, glockenspiel fuelled breather; and ‘Sleep Spindles’ – a moody post-rock take on how emotional abuse flickers its way into the sleep patterns of two lovers, concluding “Sleep my dear. I’ll be here, until morning calls my bluff."

Take note of two bass guitars on every track, children’s cello bows, shattering glass, reverse pianos and most distinctively, a section where the young artist was recorded drumming on the steering wheel of her car.
