THE CALLING
04:49
|

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

DESTROY DISASTER
03:34
|
|||
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

COMRADES
04:01
|
|||
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….

CHROME SWORD
03:25
|
|||
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

PATTYMANAJARO
04:01
|
|||
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

LIKE IT OR NOT
04:06
|
|||
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

MILES AWAY
04:11
|
|||
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

SNAKE & CANNIBAL
03:48
|
|||
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

SUSPICIOUS EYES
03:08
|
|||
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

SAME FOUR WALLS
03:53
|
|||
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

AIR LIFTED
04:06
|
|||
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

SENSATION
03:40
|
|||
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
03:26
|
|||
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

TAVERN ON A HILL
03:07
|
|||
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

WOMAN IN WALL
02:16
|

Her eyes reflecting country side
She wore a happy dress in the evening
Covered in the moon
She wakes up at dawn
Dogs are barking
No one has spoken a word
To her
She leaves work alone
Hands deep in her coat
Baby where you going
Where are you
You’re deep
Deep in the wall
Hold my hand and ill pull you out
Don’t disappear you’re covered in tears
Hold the hand that keeps you feeling safe
Baby where are you
Baby where have you gone
Your deep in the wall
Hold my hand ill pull you out
Don’t disappear you’re covered in tears
Hold the hand that keeps you feeling safe
Your deep in the wall
Don’t
Don’t disappear
Baby where are you
Baby where have you gone
