AWKWARD
02:38
|
|||
|
Awkward Pause, like a cat without claws, as we Dance on the Graves of Advancements, down we go…
Break the News, With a Spin at your Truths, And your dreams, Did you ever Believe…did you ever believe?
Awkward Laws, That ignore the real cause, And Human Beings, Are such strange little things, little things…

SPECIAL GHOST

There’s a Special Ghost in me, Tearing at the roots, they say it’s buried down so deep, I might not last the moon…But I’m afraid to look and see, if it’s raving mad and loose, or maybe there’s an alien inside of me and you…
There ‘s a Special Ghost in me, It’s trying to make me move, They said I wouldn’t last the week but look I’m living proof, And I’ve been eating off the tree, You thought had rotten fruit, thankfully all of my skeletons live under the same roof…
Whoa to be the thing…The thing that pushes you away
There’s a Special Ghost in me, It’s taking up some room, You say you don’t have to breathe, Hold your breath we’ll see you soon, because I’m afraid of everything, And angry like a Fume, or maybe there’s an alien inside me breaking through…
Whoa to be the thing…The thing that pushes you away

Blow
The People wanna breathe again, They’re sick and tired of arguing, You’re making us a Mockery, You don’t believe in Democracy, You’re treating all of my friends like they’re the foe, watch your step big man, it’s gonna blow…
The blood is thick when it’s laundering, You’re word means shit and we’re onto you, You’re setting up a monopoly, And beefin up security… You’re arming every terrorist I know, Watch yourself bigboy it’s gonna blow…
You’re treating all of my friends like they’re the foe, watch your step big man, it’s gonna blow…
The people wanna breathe again, They don’t wanna eat from your empty cans, The time is gonna come to when, The people are gonna rise again…
You’re arming every terrorist I know, Watch yourself bigboy it’s gonna blow…
You’re treating all of my friends like they’re the foe, watch your step big man, it’s gonna blow…

SUNNY DAY

Sunny Day.
Sunny Day, Are you leaving me?
Inside the waters, only yesterday’s dry spell, We tried to make an offer, But the owner wouldn’t sell, They died among the squatters, we brought them back from hell, we advertised the altars, Where we cast the final spell
Sunny Day, Are you Leaving me?
I carried the crimes of Fathers, and trade them off like pelts, I got no time to bother, I’ve been showing all my tells, and I died out over Yonder, but I tried to right my fails, and I satisfied the slaughter, and I hung them all from nails
Sunny Day, Are you leaving me?

BREAKING DOWN ON ME
03:53
|

|
Breaking down on me:
Breaking down, You Keep down on me…
You’ve been so silent, and deathly quiet, you were never one to scream…
But they brought you violence, and sold you to science where you quickly forgot how to dream…

We Gave Ourselves to Gods:
We gave ourselves to Gods, while they taught us how to kill, We made their words our Law, while they fought against our will…
They saved us from free thought, And now we rot if we stand still, We braved and against all odds, as the Earth we walked became a concrete hill…
We played with Pregnant Pause and like a moth the light was much to fill, We slaved upon the Rock, with our bloody claws and our feathered quills…
Come in and sit with me, it’s only morning, come in and have some tea…
Jump in and sing with me, the words are forming, the truth will set you free…
We gave ourselves to Gods, while they taught us how to kill, We made their words our Law, while they fought against our will…

Greener on the Other Side:
The armies they all have agreed, and I think it’s gonna be more promises of war and peace, and you’ve seen my friends, they all build bombs and guns, distracted by the voices of kingdom come, They’ve lived too long and now they’re strung out on Belief…
The artists they all have their needs and I think it’s gonna be the harvest of the century, and you’ve seen my friends they all live long and some distracted by distortions of some strange song, they’d give a lung to see the world at Ease…
I’ll sleep when I am free, when the earth can finally breathe, when she’s smiling down on me…
Well, I’ll be, We think we’re free, But eternity is just a matter of time
The Grass is Greener on the Other Side
And when the storm finally came, We were fucked up anyways, Enough to be content with thieves, and you met my friends They build up arms for fun, distracted by the profits of a growing sum, they’ll take your tongue but leave you with your teeth…
I’ll sleep when I am free, when the earth can finally breathe, when she’s smiling down on me…
Well I’ll be, We all agree And we believe the demagogues must resign…
The Grass is Greener on the Other Side

HAPPY TO BE

Happy to Be:
Happy to be, in the land of the free, where you’re free to believe what you want to believe
The Devil is in the Details, The angel is in the wine, you’re swimming with the great whale who will free you in three days time…
Happy to be, in the belly of the beast, here with the Nightbreed there’s big things to achieve…
The Devil is in the Details, The angel is in the wine, you’re swimming with the great whale who will free you in three days time…
We revel in the Retails, Of fables lost to time, while sinning in the great whale, who will eat you in three days time…
Happy to be…

Resist:
Hey, if you’re gonna resist, you gotta exist on the day
If you’re gonna enlist, the ultimate price you might pay
If you try to find bliss, they’ll shame you and shut you away
Here’s a handful of fists I’d trade for a kiss any day
There’s no reward without risk, the trick is to know when to play
If you’re making a wish, it’s best to address the charade
If you insist, I’d carry that weight to the grave

JUST LIKE ME
02:12
|

|
Just like me:
As I fully undress, Down to my underwear, I really want to be you and I fall into despair, but that’s it for the notches, what man made I don’t care, you’ve never seen the likes of me, I declare with ten yard stare…
Now you ain’t seen the ashes from the burning of the trees and you’ll never take that sight from me, You’re feeding off the ashes, I tell you there’s no relief, and you’ll eventually forget you once were free, until every one is just like me…

WE'RE NOT ALONE

We’re not Alone:
I was Tempted by blood and bone, I spent my free time far from home, It’s a great big world of make believe, I travelled high, I travelled low and wide, over land and sea, and those I met we agreed that…
I’m not alone, I’m just lonely
I was gifted I was on a roll, and the years unorganized, well, they took a toll, there’s a naked world right under your feet, and I’m chasing down my life, for all the world to see…and some folk will disagree but…
You’re not alone, You’re just lonely
We’re not alone, We’re just lonely…

MOTHER OF MONSTERS

Mother of Monsters:
From the arrows poisoned lips, to the Pharaohs frozen tongue, out of narrowly opened spits, we heard music being sung…
Yeah the Mother of Monsters exist, and she’s been here all along, while the Grendel is given a kiss for the perils he has brought upon our own…

Sound the Alarms:
Hello from the Storm, I’m really impressed, You wore out your uniform, and broke down at the chest
You said you’d been reborn, The golden calf was dead, and yet you still ignore the monster under the bed…
So Sound the Alarms, Go on the Offense, The prince won’t have much charm once you’ve seen him off his meds…
Silently waiting on you…

UNTIL THE NIGHT COMES IN

|
Until the Night comes in:
I’m waiting on you,until the night comes in, Debating what should I do? Before the lies begin…
I’m grittin my tooth, until the fight begins, oh I’m evading the proof, ignoring evidence…
I’m waiting on you, until the night comes in, oh I’m debating the truth, I’m looking forward to the swim…
I’m waitin on you, until the night comes in, oh I’m debating what should I do, before the lies begin…

WHERE IS MY HEART BROKEN
02:44
|
|||
|
Where is my heart broken:
You wore the faces of space and time, you travelled places that we could never find, this went on for ages till you couldn’t recognize your own kind… and the doors always open
And then the races split into tribes, They marked their skin and begin to civilize, this went on for ages till they nearly go it right…and the words never spoken were…
Where is my heart broken?
In civil cages we age like wine, the anger rages almost as if by design, The history pages will forever be washed white…I wish I were joking
Where is my heart broken?

Before The Day is Done:
You got it all, You know when to Fall, You You’re made of Stone, You always find your way home…
Before the day is done
You heard the call, You brought down great walls, You were lost and alone, You always found your way home…
Before the Day is done
