THE CALLING 04:49
lyrics
buy track
Posing as the enemy Stockholm syndrome can occur when all you do is follow lines They can begin to blur they’ll Pick all the flowers they can But they longer smell the scent Until all that you see is barren land Fruitless in their lament (Breakout) Go on your own Into the air we’re breathing out the womb Out of the arms Go into the unknown Will you take the step Down the staircase to your regret Or To your surprise To the beginning of your life The Callings, calling so pick up the phone Calling, calling but nobody’s home Congratulations they have won The battle that never begun (Breakout) Go on your own Into the air we’re breathing Go on your own Into the air we’re breathing Isn’t it somebody else’s dream Didn’t want it as bad as it seems Realities out of your control Breakout of the slumber that holds you Every night X2 They’ll Pick all the flowers they can No longer smell the scent Now it’s all barren land Fruitless in my lament Fruitless in my lament

Moving faster Coming this way to destroy disaster Moving faster destroy disaster Coming this way to control the master Wasting your time Wasting your time to find the cause Wasting your time to find the reason for it all Political violence Political silence Theatrical guidance and all the smoke and mirrors Is there any way to stop this perpetual motion Or do we have to see it through with steadfast devotion Wasting your time Wasting your time to find the cause Wasting your time to find the reason for it all Is there even a difference No one can walk a straight line They all have a price yeah, yeah, they can all be bought Is there any way to stop this perpetual motion Or do we have to see it through with steadfast devotion Danger, danger, danger, danger, Danger, danger, danger, danger All these worlds closing in Catching up with momentum Not slowing down or letting up or giving us a break This house of cards that they keep building Piling up into the ceiling Sooner or later the tables gonna shake Winds gonna blow The earth gonna quake Wasting your time Wasting your time to find the cause Wasting your time to find the reason that they control it all Snatch it up quick Start rioting and looting Or work your 9 to 5 Sitting Quietly computing Danger, danger, danger, danger, Danger, danger, danger, danger Is there any way to stop this perpetual motion Or do we have to see it through until the very end This house of cards that they keep building Piling up into the ceiling Sooner or later the tables gonna shake Winds gonna blow The earths will quake Seems nobody gives a fuck about anybody but themselves Chose the path of suicide Get a photo on the shelf And when you pass on you can’t take any possessions that they made They’ll forget you, the grass will grow Did it matter at all

Fall in water The Same boat Deep ocean but I’m still afloat I start treading and I’m a bit shaken but No time to wonder why I’m so mistaken I take a look up at two outstretched hands And have to decide which one I should grab One is calloused, cracked and dry From the whip that it’s holding most of the time And the other Glistens in the sun Like the back of a dolphin It’s moist and soft and small I can’t find the light at the end of the tunnel It just keeps getting smaller Keep walking and carrying on Like a lamb led to the slaughter Can’t fight this This feeling This mistrust They’re breeding Words were sown Long ago Before harvest was reaped They say combat Makes comrades But comrades in combat Might look back and regret Or never look back at all Is this justice or just a fraud I guess trust is just for two now Young children and dogs Can’t find the light at the end of the tunnel It just keeps getting smaller Keep walking and carrying on Like a lamb led to the slaughter Reaching out reaching out reaching out Can’t fight this This feeling This mistrust They’re breeding Words were sown Long ago Before harvest was reaped They say combat Makes comrades But comrades in combat Might look back and regret Or never look back at all Hold on Do you really want the culture You don’t have to sell your soul You used to be leader Now you’re a puppet to a fool To do whats right To know whats wrong To have some faith Where you belong Theres still some space and time to find another way Just as I’m about to link hands With the calloused one The slimy one holds him back Saying no he’ll get us wet there may be sharks With my last breath I sink To the bottom Looking up At their pitying faces….

Take some time from me Go ahead do what you need cuts like a sword but this time I condone Consternation spreads on my face Realize it’ll never be the same evolution of everyday life Burning in water drowning in flame A little bit maybe Thats hard enough Just enough to drive you crazy Or keep the heart beat up Adaptation to life in deep space Never make it back where you came A taste of freedom and freedom from the pain nothing compares to sun shine after rain Take some time from me Go ahead do what you need cuts like a sword but this time I condone Consternation spreads on my face Realize it’ll never be the same evolution of everyday life Burning in water drowning in flame A little bit maybe Thats hard enough Just enough to drive you crazy Or keep the heart beat up Take some time from me Go ahead do what you need cuts like a sword but this time I condone I can wait patiently Anxious but still willing Cuts like a sword that’s shinning like chrome Consternation spreads on my face Realize it’ll never be the same evolution of everyday life Burning in water drowning in flame Nothing you can do They might not like you And that’s all that there ever was you might really want it but cant reach out and grab it You can’t buy friendship or love but become someones dog respond to their beck and call and thats all you’ll ever be.

HUMAN ERASE 03:13

2 in the morning They’re all closing up The streets shinning from the oil and rain Looks like a mirror To the city life in the land where they all stay the same why does it seem so far out of reach Through the looking glass it always seems sweet dropping like fruit thats ripe off the tree Sitting on hillside with no guarantee 3 in the morning Everyones talking loud only voice is the voice of the crowd The bathrooms locked It always is when shit appears, so do the flies A bubble is floating High up in the sky Nothing will pop it nothing will try Will you sit next to me on this car ride I’ll go if I don’t have to drive Is this somewhere that you go often I end up here 4 times a week Where do you sleep is it a coffin? is this your nightmare or a dream? why does it seem so far out of reach Through the looking glass it always seems sweet dropping like fruit thats ripe off the tree Sitting on hillside with no guarantee a Garden of eden so friendly and free Although I know I’d have to disagree Familiar faces all they ever see In the bubble floating past me Will you sit next to me on the front porch yeah but let me grab a drink Is this something that you do often I end up here 8 days a week Where do you sleep is it a coffin? is this your nightmare or a dream? You’re always out but don’t get out much always doing the same old thing tastes like summer never ending No horizon it keeps extending Face like soup theres consequences It can stretch but theres expenses

That isn’t right no that isn’t right Handled it handled it with spite And I know now that it’s still burning bright Inside of all of us Time to leave time to look away time to find another place to stay Time to look deep down inside of your heart Even if it’s been torn apart Oh the traveling ghost Unraveling inside of em all Needs to find find another host Or its gonna die now Down on the banks of the Pattymanajaro Little river families waiting for food Croak like a frog or tell god your sorrow He might listen, might listen to you Slay the next one Make milk and honey run Slay the next one Make milk and honey run Strain on the people now wanna return Wandering desert least of their concern Gotta make a choice now Gotta flip coin One or the other both disappoint That isn’t right no that isn’t right Handled it handled it with spite And I know now that its still burning bright Inside of all of us Down on the banks of the Pattymanajaro Little river families waiting for food Croak like a frog or tell god your sorrow He might listen might listen to you Slay the next one Make milk and honey run Slay the next one Make milk and honey run didn’t pick who you are Or where you were born Looking down on others with so much scorn Shame on the people now Gotta obey Faith never worked only got in the way Gotta make a choice now Gotta flip a coin One or the other both disappoint Ohhhh they’re fading away Desperation got in the way Decided it was theirs anyway Gave in to seduction Down on the banks of the Pattymanajaro Little river families waiting for food Croak like a frog or tell god your sorrow He might listen might listen to you Time to leave time to look away time to find another place to stay Time to look deep down inside of your heart Even if it’s been torn apart Oh the traveling ghost Unraveling inside of em all Needs to find find another host Or its gonna die now Shinning on my heart Shinning on my heart Shinning on my heart

Ah lookout! oh to the western sun There was fire in the sky and fire in your eyes At least it seemed, so many dreams, couldn’t be undone Then a choice is made to ditch the rest and and just pick one Reminisce reconstruct The love that’s lost Best days of life they had no price they they had no cost During salad days we are all vegetarian Tasted flesh now possessed leave the garden Like it or not this is just the way that it is Thrown in the fire but wanted to live I know I will never get that carefree back have to confine myself from wandering pitch black cooling out dripping off drying too These golden days are gonna stop but they’ll follow you For the rest of your life for the rest of your days You’ll look back try to remember in that foggy haze Who was there where were we what happened to them Who’s that person inside of me that said to move on Oozing out oozing oozing out Oozing out oozing oozing out Take me back to the start at the Beginning didn’t know this was just a race to thee ending If I knew then what I knew now I’d slow it down Not take everything so serious In the ghost town Sun and shine you can find bleakness too Coddled kid struggling just just to come to They , I guess never they wondered why they caught fire this way I never needed to know just why Gotta find another way to find a way to paradise Say save me! thats bravery! give a hand to grab oh baby! At least it seemed, so many dreams, couldn’t be undone Then a choice is made to ditch the rest and and just pick one I know I will never get that carefree back Say save me! thats bravery! give a hand to grab oh baby! Id like to rewind to Remind me to keep my head up at all times and don’t take it so seriously.Go, go embrace yourself Go on now go on

I can see for miles away But I couldn’t see any of this coming Black and white or shades of grey All the colors bleeding and pumping The crystal ball in my gut had said The stone won’t continue shinning I walked right into the embrace Of the one I was fighting Time takes Times makes fools of us all Get back in the race Get back in the car Nothing you do Will set you apart Pick it back up unChristen that heart Took Time apart to figure it out But the proximity just led to more doubt Both took turns playing cat and mouse One got chased out of the house Some people need to justify So their vices never meet their minds eye Started out toe to toe but find there’s just nowhere to go Without Walking away from the other Time takes Times makes fools of us all Get back in the race Get back in the car Nothing you do Will set you apart Pick it back up unChristen that heart Im living in constant confusion Im trying to fight this illusion But time All this time It just won’t let me go Take a breath on this plateau Have you ever been a place in time Like childhood seems so divine But I don’t ever wanna go back now Seems we only recall the good times But somethings will make you shiver Not just the cold and the snow Time takes Times makes fools of us all Get back in the race Get back in the car Nothing you do Will set you apart Pick it back up unChristen that heart Im living in constant confusion Im trying to fight this illusion But time All this time It just won’t let me go Take a breath on this plateau

Ya Cut the head off of the snake It takes time to find your rhythm hard to give up what it takes So it keeps on slithering how long will it be Till this things no longer awake Then appeared a cannibal When fruits of labor weren’t enough Decided we’re all vegetables To satiate his thirst for blood The beast living inside the man Justified his actions then Hold on, hold on for life Hold on, it’s still alive Keep running Through jungle hunt snake but there’s a cannibal fear of being eaten alive By your fellow man An ape thats got a plan Won’t sleep until he’s eaten every piece of flesh always plotting their revenge The snake and the cannibal Some sort of symbiotic bond 2’s a crowd 1’s company Won’t sleep until everyones dead die of starvation then Sun refused to shine blot out from the sky Shadows run and hide Until every rock has been unturned Ya cut the head off of the snake It takes time to find your rhythm hard to give up what it takes So it keeps on slitherin’ how long will it be Till this things no longer awake Hold on, hold on for life Hold on, it’s still alive Keep running Through jungle hunt snake but there’s a cannibal

It’s all been the same until you realize How many days have passed us in disguise Maybe for you not just another day One more flower dead in the bouquet Maybe for me it’s not a game of chess Or another door that you can’t access It’s all been the same until you realize Something has died inside suspicious eyes Start fires on your conscience Or you can always just pretend Pretend that you’re right now baby Wondering why I can’t comprehend Pretend that you’re right Deciding for two Where this life will go What this life will do Pretend that you’re right now baby Pretend that you like how it’s going to be The moon goes up and the sun goes down A bottle of wine to turn me into a clown It’s not the same for every other person Sweet situation only seems to worsen More than I thought or maybe more than not Something you learn that you can’t be taught Maybe theres just no way to satisfy But for me all I could do was try Start fires on your conscience Or you can always just pretend Pretend that you’re right Deciding for two Where this life will go What this life will do Pretend that you’re right now baby Pretend that you like how it’s going to be looks like I’m falling Falling again Start fires on your conscience Or you can always just pretend Pretend that you’re right now baby Wondering why I can’t comprehend Pretend that you’re right Deciding for two Where this life will go What this life will do Pretend that you’re right now baby Pretend that you like how it’s going to be Looks like I’m falling Falling again Tumbling down Into a bitter end

This place is a mess yeah a aa But I’m cleaning up despondence Something inside you can’t hide from But can overcome When it starts spilling over Everything Dripping all over it all You make the call I look around And see that there is nowhere to go The same four walls That I’ve ever known Put up a picture Then take it down when you don’t connect Get a new houseplant that you won’t neglect On and on Over and over Day to days Years flying by Sweep up the dog hair Sweep up the conversations from the night before Another brand new day Let it all pile up or pick up the floor This place is a mess yeah a aa But I’m cleaning up despondence Theres only one way you keep moving If not you regress Take a look around And get rid of everything you don’t use All of this clutter just starts to seduce Take the garbage out And get rid of anyone who let You be yourself Or let you forget On and on Over and over Day to days Years flying by Fear of success They’ll pick you apart and leave the bones It was all for fun now that’s all gone It’s all come undone This vacations too long Theres too much free time I can’t take another sip It’s time to go home Same duration Long time ago Preservation of frail ego Imagination makes things so real Stuck in a rut You have to climb to get out This place is a mess yeah ah ahah But I’m cleaning up despondence Something inside you can’t hide from But can overcome When it starts spilling over Everything Dripping all over it all Time to suscitate

Shinning and shinning and shinning and shinning until it’s gone The fragrance of life is all violent love Empty your head until it’s merciful And it get’s harder and harder and harder Is that understood When it becomes so primitive Nothing left but what you give Eat the fruit from rotting tree Back to square one there you’ll see That the juice wasn’t worth the squeeze Gonna head out of this place Get lifted on the way Right from the start right from the start Take a bow and find out nothing will last Get in the chopper here’s your free boarding pass The fragrance of life is all violent love Empty your head until it’s merciful Wanted nothing more than to escape Get lifted in the sky Lift me up X 20 Wanted, nothing more than to escape Opportunity at birth is Easily forgotten Gonna head out of this place Get lifted in the sky A coffin for dolphins that’s made of glass Empty your head until it’s merciful Shinning and shinning and shinning and shinning until it’s gone Shinning and shinning and shinning and shinning until it’s gone

What gives a rebel a rush A dog his day when’s enough enough Never understood What the problem was or why it had to be had no good Couldn’t figure it out A different language spoke without any doubt Used to go all the time Find your own spot To peal back the sky for some space (Nothings ever easy but then again it shouldn’t be that hard) Bye bye say it goodbye Never thought that you’d become two ships in the night Side by side for so long You can get the idea it’s the only option Sometimes you need A stepping stone other times a rock How grounded can you be Crossing thin ice every time you walk What gives a rebel a rush A dog his day when’s enough enough Never understood What the problem was or why it had to be had no good It’s not impossible To find another More Compatible (Put me down, Nothings ever easy but then again it shouldn’t be that hard) Bye bye say it goodbye Never thought that you’d become two ships in the night So were you ever in love Without trust push turns to shove Everybody makes mistakes Sometimes it hurts more to hurt another this way Why doesn’t it work That’s all that there is Bye say it goodbye bye bye Till the heart stops beating You’ll wish you could’ve given more But we all just wanna get away When the tears start to cover the floor Bye bye say it goodbye Never thought that you’d become two ships in the night So were you ever in love Without trust push turns to shove Everybody makes mistakes Sometimes it hurts more to hurt another this way Why doesn’t it work That’s all that there is Bye say it goodbye bye bye So the sadness wins and anger subsides You’re no longer blinded Bye bye bye

CHAINS OF HABIT 03:43

Obsessing over what I hate more than I love And the chains of habit are too light to be felt Adding to it won’t subtract what it’s caused Oil and water will never dissolve Head in the sand is not a problem solved And won’t bring any repose At fault should be using thoughts for better This love deserves all my attention Focusing on peripheral Can’t avoid whats visceral How can it be that weakness can be so strong? Pulling like a black hole won’t stop holding on Sticking a head in sand is not a problem solved And won’t bring any repose Just a hole the shape of God I don’t want anymore I don’t want anymore hate in my heart Or deprive myself of love I don’t want anymore I don’t want anymore hate in my heart Or deprive them of my love When the world sits down to catch it’s breathe I wanna shed some skin be born again myself Yeah Come out of cocoon Yeah I don’t want anymore I don’t want anymore hate in my heart Or deprive myself of love I don’t want anymore I don’t want anymore hate in my heart Or deprive them of my love Obsessing over what you hate more than you love And the chains of habit are too light to be felt until It’s just too late and the weight you never knew you braced How can it be that weakness can be so strong Pulling like a black hole won’t stop holding on And what may seem like chaos to the fly That’s stuck in the web is normal to the spider

ANOTHER WORLD 03:57

Start searching the world all over For another world Another face To look past flesh and embrace What’s little left of the heart Lucky for you it all don’t matter And you don’t really care But there’s so much to fear It’s all become clear that truth Is all subjective Should’ve dug another grave For yourself So we can lie together forever Trapped in your guilt Did they really find the cause For love and all it’s laws Or did they just sit back and want the applause For all of it’s flaws Start searching the world all over For another world Another face To look past flesh and embrace What’s little left of the heart Demon I am Takes both my hands And I don’t really wanna fight back but Demon I am Did they really find the cause For love and all it’s laws Or did they just sit back and want the applause For all of it’s flaws Roped into a closeout wondering Will I ever get air To take a breathe Of the little that’s left Unaware that it’s all been poisoned Start searching the world all over For another world Another face To look past flesh and embrace What’s little left of the heart Should’ve dug another grave For yourself So we can lie together forever Trapped in your guilt Did they really find the cause For love and all it’s laws Or did they just sit back and want the applause For all of it’s flaws Seems like they may have got the chance To circumvent all romance Painted quite the tableau A tabloid on every check stand In every store Tenderly, make them see The hand that holds the spoon And what they’re eating Searching for another world Searching for another world

It’s you, it’s you, it’s you, it’s you I never thought that it could happen again I lost it all I found the end Lived in the motels in the bad part of town Hiding in the shadows with my head hanging down All of the sudden a bright light from above Out of nowhere came a message of love A leap of faith it seemed that I had been shoved I had nowhere to fall so I jumped Decided it’s time, I need to pull through I took the leap I took a few I’d go back for more making sure this was it Be on top of the world or bottom of a pit I never thought that it could happen again Fall for another after it ends Lived in the motels in the bad part of town Hiding in the shadows with my head hanging down All of the sudden a bright light from above Out of nowhere came a message of love Call yourself a cab and get out that door You could be anywhere but you chose the floor Pick yourself up, it’s not over yet I needed a hand and an angel was sent It’s you, it’s you If I never met you I might not be alive If I never met you I’d have reason to pray Held my hand and pulled me out of the mud Kept the pressure on me when I was leaking blood Wanted to burn the whole thing to the ground Wanted to scream but I didn’t make a sound Would’ve done anything to not feel that way There was only one person who knew what to say It’s you, it’s you Yeah it’s you, it’s you

Driving for miles to find a land That’s tucked away A hidden road will lead me there Or lead me astray Through rolling hills and jagged mountains Past the creeks, the rivers and lakes I turn up the heat, my eyelids are heavy I need a drink and a sleep Off in the distance and yellow light flickers And beckons me A tavern on a hill Thats shoulder to shoulder With dark clouds and the night getting colder I park at the top The engine it stops Old wooden door slams my body inside The sound of stools creaking Laughter like shrieking A waltz playing softly while While bottles are clinking Off of my head And I need a bed I take a seat next to a man But he won’t turn his head Where the town drunk calls home You’d recognize him A friend to all But all despise him There every night Yeah you’d recognize him He’s sitting in your chair And just got done driving A comforting rattle of leaves in the wind Help me sleep by the window Covered in sin
