A loom is a device used to weave cloth. The basic purpose of any loom is to hold the warp threads under tension to facilitate the interweaving of the weft threads. The precise shape of the loom and its mechanics may vary, but the basic function is the same.
The word "loom" comes from the Old English "geloma" formed from ge-(perfective prefix) and loma, a root of unknown origin; this meant utensil or tool of any kind. In 1404 it was used to mean a machine to enable weaving thread into cloth. By 1838 it had gained the meaning of a machine for interlacing thread as in weaving, knitting or lacemaking.
Weaving is done by intersecting the longitudinal threads, the warp, i.e. "that which is thrown across", with the transverse threads, the weft, i.e. "that which is woven".
The major components of the loom are the warp beam, heddles, harnesses or shafts (as few as two, four is common, sixteen not unheard of), shuttle, reed and takeup roll. In the loom, yarn processing includes shedding, picking, battening and taking-up operations. These are the principal motions.
Skinner has returned from the dead... To Kill
The devil's eyes are always watching (German 2008 release)
You always got those dark sunglasses
Covering half your face
But if you promise to take them off
Promise I won't squander your gaze
I will be picturesque, I will be nice
I won't do anything, you can't tell your own wife
I will think before I act, I will think twice
Just let me see your eyes
Each time we've spoke and put in our tokens, ridden the tilt-a-whirl
And I was giggling and dizzy, flirting like a 12 year old girl
The carnival of you and me was coming to town
Watch how we spin and spin and then fall down
Now we just say hello and head for firmer ground
You are the one-way glass that watches me
Standing in line at the bank
I always looks into your glasses
Like a cat looks into a fish tank
But all I could ever see was the specter of me reflected
I want a monument of a friendship
That we never had erected
I wanted to take up lots of room, I wanted to loom
You always got those dark sunglasses
Between us when we talk, yeah
But after the party is over if you wanna take a walk
We could just look around, not do nothing wrong
Try to be at least as brave as our songs
I will bring my heart, I will bring my face
It comes with reason
And when we question, we question with sincerity
Run through webs of grass and trees
Only to wake, only to wake
Glued to the sun like a ceiling,
Waiting as we drip into the night
Glued to the sun like a ceiling,
Waiting as we drip into the night
It comes with reason
And when we question, we question with sincerity
Run through webs of grass and trees
Only to wake, only to wake
But when it all collides and goes under
It's never permanent
It's never permanent
Tears stream down my neck
Falling into place, falling into place
When I finally realize, we knew all along
Im on a journey
The simple way to make it for
Dont run when these are starting
Dont run when they take it all
Dont run to the town
It takes it all
Without anybody Im free
To dissolve you
You became a part of me
And without you its lost
Drifting out of reach
America, America carries our dreams
Drifting out of reach
America, America carries our dreams
Drifting out of reach
America, America carries our dreams
Drifting out of reach
America, America carries our dreams

Ive got no time
Night is over in me
Thats the way I saw myself
My twins say my.reflected in myself
Drifting out of reach
America, America carries our dreams
Drifting out of reach
America, America carries our dreams
Drifting out of reach
America, America carries our dreams
Drifting out of reach
America, America carries our dreams
another match is not too much for you anymore
I can tell your mind is poor and dissolved
You can give me all you preserve inside yourself
You can give me all you preserve inside yourself
Drifting out of reach
America, America carries our dreams
Drifting out of reach
America, America carries our dreams
Drifting out of reach

Headless and horseless, you're lifeless
Hold the hourglass with both fists to hide this
This reminds you of living
This reminds you of dying
Just like its always been
And things can never change
And things can never change
Headless, horseless, lifeless, lifeless
Hourglass, both fists, hide this, hide this
And when were here colors can bleed together
Colors can bleed together
And when were here colors can bleed together
Colors can bleed together
Headless and horseless, you're lifeless
Hold the hourglass with both fists to hide this, to hide this
Death is upon us
Speaking in tongues. Living as spies. Filling the holes in our eyes.
Searching for signs of life to take us home.
As slaves to this obsession our will is its direction.
Hidden brights. Only yellow lines and the scarce street light
and more green signs will shape our lives.
Feed our lives with asphalt veins.
Fueled by our need to create and define with asphalt veins.
We'll find our way back home between lines in the road.
We'll find vanishing eyes, lost, consciously trapped, confined.
We'll find promising signs. Lives reunite and light to rise again.
We can name this silence anything we wish.
Let it hide until it thrives.
Until it feeds and builds.
Until it feeds and builds.
And who will be the victim when this demon explodes?
When this demon explodes...
Look at what we created with this absence of words.
We gave... we gave it life
When we swallowed our tongues we turned our backs.
And we'll digest our differences
And slay our weakness.
And we'll digest our differences
And slay our weakness.
Diluting everything is perfect will only make it swell.
So let's carry this to the surface and unveil
And unveil.
And unveil.
And unveil.
We'll push our hearts to the foreground.
We'll push our hearts to the foreground.
Look at what we created with this absence of words.
We gave... we gave it life.
When we swallowed our tongues we turned our backs.
We'll push our hearts to the foreground
And focus on what's real...
Headless and horseless, you're lifeless
Hold the hourglass with both fists to hide this
This reminds you of living
This reminds you of dying
Just like it's always been
And things can never change
And things can never change
Headless, horseless, lifeless, lifeless
Hourglass, both fists, hide this, hide this
And when were here colors can bleed together
Colors can bleed together
And when were here colors can bleed together
Colors can bleed together
Headless and horseless, you're lifeless
Hold the hourglass with both fists to hide this, to hide this
From the east
A cold wind blows
Across the evening lawn
Summer is surely on its way
Midnight will ask you once again
With words unwary
Does it still your breath away?
In the shadows of the silver tree line image
Of the high
Skyward brilliance left above
To hone each sparkle in the sky
We're dancing softly to the songs
That may just save us from our doom
Summer gardens are the scene
As we fall into them and loom
Through the deepest cavern hearts
Of crying bravery
Opens the sight's eternal beautiful
Majestic shadows in the night
They have us crazy
Painting themselves against the lights
Seeing an end to an endless strife
The streets are screaming. They're wailing and weeping.
Hearts beating through our ears.
All those peripheral numbers decaying.
Listen to the lights melt and devastate inhibition.
The strings are singing. They're scraping and weaving to create.
Listen to the lights melt and devastate inhibition.
This is why we're here, to push expectations away.
To let our legs give out and give our hands away.
To weave these threads...
To weave these threads...
To weave these threads... into creation.
This is why we're here, to push expectations away.
To let our legs give out and give our hands away.
And we watch ourselves one by one break free, turning into threads,
entwining into place, dropping into place.
Wash off the dirt and wipe away inhibition.
This sound, it reins conviction over insecurity.
This noise, it burns away the old,
Divide all of the spoils, take more than we deserve
Chasing flickering lights, almost there
Reaching, stretching our limbs, circling, then closing in
Oh beautiful siren
These trophies shine on the horizon,
Begging to be gained.
It craves to be gained by selfish eyes
Graves lust broods in us, keeps us sick where we stand
Nothing comes, but it leaves us alone, us as lambs
Starry-eyed appetites, gaping mouths, hands
Now we've won the prize at last
But we'll never pick out the shards of glass
We'll spend the rest of our lives digging
And is this golden chair that we sit in
More fitting than the rags we've she'd
This token marks no end, it marks where we begin again
Glittering prizes tear us into twins, divide our desire
Feed us or dispel this craving we serve
At the rainbow's end, we drink from the fountain
Now cloud ten, to search for eleven
At the rainbows end...
Now we've won the prize at last
But we'll never pick out the shards of glass
We'll spend the rest of our lives digging
And is this golden chair that we sit in
More fitting than the rags we've she'd
This token marks no end, it marks where we begin again
Is this not the same as we pictured?
Is this not the same frame we filled?
Is this not the life that we wanted?
Is this not the life we foretold?
We are now the image, we are now the print.
We are now the sum of red, green and blue.
The rocking chair still sways when you're not there,
and offers no help in projecting yourself in RGB on the wide screen.
You must do that yourself.
Tear yourself in two and watch it as you go your separate ways.
And lean away and watch the disarray as it defines you.
Why would we stop now that we're in motion?
It's cost us everything to build our lives beneath the ocean.
And we don't need to breathe to reap the benefits of losing sleep.
You need less than you think.
We've set fire to the alternatives, buried our past behind us.
Is this not the same as we pictured?
Is this not the same frame we filled?
Is this not the life that we wanted?
Is this not the life we foretold?
We are now the image, we are now the print.
We are now the sum of red, green and blue.
Still, the sun sprays intention. Still, the water breathes invention.
And we dig with curiosity.
Still, the sun sprays intention. Still, the water breathes invention.
And we dig with curiosity. Still. Still.
And we dig with curiosity. Tearing open lives that stow away.
We sought them out and made them real, we made them real.
We lean away and watch the disarray as it defines you.
Why would we stop now that we're in motion?
It's cost us everything to build our lives beneath the ocean.
And we don't need to breathe to reap the benefits of losing sleep.
What we do in here we keep to ourselves
We all hide our faces but not our hearts
And this is what you came for
You sacrificed your eyes to see
Transmissions from one single mind
Condemn you and bring you to life
And were all just the same
It's all part of the game but
Stake the blame and claim your life
Remove the disguise and surprise
You walk through this coffin now
The one that you built yourself
You're already set in stone
Sculpt this like it's your last
You walk through this coffin now
The one that you built yourself
You're already set in stone
Sculpt this like it's your last
There is a selling point for war and tragedy
It keeps us always wanting more
We live for promises of gold
Tainted by the distress of being second best
This is the time for giving up
and letting go of everything you’d live to regret
There is not shelter here
Just pain and sweat and solace
It makes us who we are
And so we grow… and so we grow and progress
Head above the world, feet beneath us fail
Until we learn to swim the waves crash down our throats
Take a second breath. Believe you’re never coming back
As the last light lingers every breath you took comes rushing in
And we find ourselves quiet…
Every breath you took comes rushing in
And so we grow in spite of holding on, in spite of letting go,
In spite of always wanting more
Air expands, we struggle, we falter, we decide
We’ll never return
…and so we grow and progress
Head above the world, feet beneath us fail
Until we learn to swim the waves crash down our throats
Take a second breath. Believe you’re never coming back
As the last light lingers every breath you took comes rushing in
With all this oxygen, we’ll breath the world in
With no destination… nowhere to begin
With all this oxygen, we’ll breath the world in
With no destination… nowhere to begin
How long will it take to finally cave in
When we've fallen to the bottom?
Consequence violently forced into our stomachs.
We too are vulnerable, we too are afraid,
But we can't hold on to despair or hide in these wretched caves.
When there is so much being to embrace...
So many movements to exchange.
And what will it take to finally get up
When we've fallen to the bottom?
Consequence violently forced out of our stomachs.
Find ourselves in rounded corners facing everything in shadow.
We shake and we shudder and run screaming to our caves.
Jump in, the water's fine.
The dry land has lied.
So afraid of never coming up, again.
When the water chills, just keep swimming.
The sun fails our skin.
We'll warm ourselves kinetically... and never fail.
Give us chances to not only survive
But to take on the world by surprise, by surprise.
Let us take in more than our eyes can find.
Facing everything that defines us, give us time.
Holding our breath only keeps us afloat.
Dive down headfirst, struggle, and let go.
Explosions that we incite reopen the cold, dark sky.
Where action and coincidence collide.
All tangled now with relief,
We reach a shore worth treading in. Deeper, deeper we sink.
Trade the faces which we wear, to run free.
Knowing only ourselves.
We leave the poison skies and live much darker lives.
Let's continue unscathed and full of wonder, but overwhelmed.
Traverse this corner, pulled by the bend.
Find ourselves clinging. Find ourselves shaken and hesitant.
We see our size. We see our place.
Glued to the souls that sustain us.
We see our shape. We see our speed.
Fixed on this gear as it grinds, digging a path over time.
Forward we are falling. Spinning, twisting, writhing.
Far off forces calling us closer, closer, closer.
Far off voices calling us, closer to forever.
As we begin to allow, leaving questions behind,
aware and enlivened with our existence,
and yet we're still spinning, twisting, writhing.
Inside we stretch our spirits, out of touch we plug our ears,
With each convulsion against this glow, it slowly brightens.
Not to spite us, but to bring us to terms with the reality
that we must pull ourselves.
It's only a matter of time we don't have.
A question of spending life we won't get back.
We're plunging anyways, we might as well go headfirst.
It's how you breathe when you're asleep
It's fighting when it's time to die
Convoluted to the point of no escape
It's how you breathe when you're asleep
It's fighting when it's time to die
Convoluted to the point of no escape
And when it's gone it's gone forever
And when it's here it's here to stay
Paint a picture using nothing but grey
Capture the ever-passing moment
We are the echo
The mere reflection of a song that's always been
Reach out grab the sound
Don't just stare
The waters rising
Tracers fly from off our hands
Keeping their place in the line
Memory and consciousness
Fight over the images
And when it's gone it's gone forever
And when it's here it's here to stay
Paint a picture using nothing but grey
How can we define what we hold so dear,
Solely on a scale of monetary gain?
So easy to place hands inside our pockets,
Put our worth in our pockets.
How can we deny that which we require?
It's keeping us alive, while cheating our desire.
Please don't feel sorry for us as we embrace aversion,
Pushing envy into the back room.
The days expire as we yearn to possess
That which will never fill our lungs.
It starts a whisper slowly shaping envy.
Denying patience and keeping us in time.
The shaking hands, desperately constructing a flawless haven,
Undoing our intent.
How will we ever feel our lungs when our
Pockets overflow with fiction?
We'll never feel our lungs when we're buried in pockets.
We're buried in our pockets.
How will we ever fill our lungs?
We go on just the same
With or without the same name
With scattered brains and tattered souls
Just wait just wait
Burn down this statue
We pay cash for petty dreams
You can't duplicate, copy and paste, you can't duplicate
Burn down these castles
Wash our hands in the flames
We can't forget the dust
We came cause it built us
We dance as it smolders
Weight builds on our shoulders
Paint with your own blood instead
Burn down this statue
We pay cash for petty dreams
You can't duplicate, copy and paste, you can't duplicate
Burn down these castles
Wash our hands in the flames
There is a selling point for war and tragedy
It keeps us always wanting more
We live for promises of gold
Tainted by the distress of being second best
This is the time for giving up
and letting go of everything you’d live to regret
There is not shelter here
Just pain and sweat and solace
It makes us who we are
And so we grow… and so we grow and progress
Head above the world, feet beneath us fail
Until we learn to swim the waves crash down our throats
Take a second breath. Believe you’re never coming back
As the last light lingers every breath you took comes rushing in
And we find ourselves quiet…
Every breath you took comes rushing in
And so we grow in spite of holding on, in spite of letting go,
In spite of always wanting more
Air expands, we struggle, we falter, we decide
We’ll never return
…and so we grow and progress
Head above the world, feet beneath us fail
Until we learn to swim the waves crash down our throats
Take a second breath. Believe you’re never coming back
As the last light lingers every breath you took comes rushing in
With all this oxygen, we’ll breath the world in
With no destination… nowhere to begin
With all this oxygen, we’ll breath the world in
With no destination… nowhere to begin
We’ll breathe the world in
You act like the winter will never come, like you can survive
But this is an empty canvas and we should call in sick for a day
And pick up a paint brush, and pick up ambition
Because art is lost without ambition,
Carried away in frozen visions
If you come to us like we know you
Then we're all the same and empty too
We'll find our own way out of here
And never look back with regret
With just ourselves to answer, there is no question
Carried away in frozen visions
We'll find our own way out
