Invocation
04:18
|
|||
The dust from the black of the day, kept aiming to be in my way,
and I'm dancing like I'm having a fit, attacking the unseen enemy,
the enemy within, the enemy within me. It's within me.
Prayer hasn't helped change a thing, I get on my knees at your feet,
Invocation hasn't changed who I am, I get on my knees for other things.
Didn't you notice? Didn't you care? Didn't you see me? I was standing right there.

Hum and Bass
04:00
|
|||
Just how does one decide how another should live their life?
Is existence so threatening when you're different from how they think?
There's got to be a better way for us to show and say our love.
I don't know
Am I gonna be okay?
I don't know
Am I gonna really change?

Lungs
05:19
|
|||
The air filled my lungs, I was light headed at once,
A million particles lost, in the fog of my thoughts,
A cul de sac sentence ending circled debate, at least for now.
So take your piano key teeth, to someone else's everglade,
And try running your tongue along another shoulder blade,
This room keeps buzzing and humming, tell me what is making such noise?
My ears feel aflame with resentment, stop disrupting this passion and poise.
Do I hear you buzzing and humming? Tell me, what is making such noise?
Have you never witnessed such failure in its proper contextual place? At least for now.
I'm sick of hiding me and mine, right here in plain sight,
I'm gonna wear the brightest gown parade myself through town.
You and your generation are a setting sun,
a closing door to be forgotten evermore.

When you gather those arms around, do you cover your eyes?
When you feel a shift in your solid ground, do you blame them how they writhe?
Those humans you stand on to get what you want,
They may not be grateful despite all your charm.
We always make our Gods in our own image, so if you would be a God
Refashion yourself for mass consumption, what all most desire to see.
The shadowy present's already the past,
That elusive moment never coming back.
When learning is presented as entertainment, is learning considered at all?
When information's what we drown ourselves with is the truth considered banal?
Entertainment trumps logic, emotions shatter the truth,
When ego is constant a vapid public ensues.

New Noise
03:57
|
|||
In the bottomless ocean of pleasure, I've aimed in vain to cast an anchor here.
I've been dragged about by its enthusiasm and left to rot in its consequent boredom,
Left to rot in its consequent torment.
Is this all the world has to offer? Is this all? The best I can do?
Clothed in space, clothed so new, clothed in space, bowing to you.

(instrumental)

7. |

Ribbons stick between and hanging from your teeth, no amount of words can fix the visual imagery.
But folding my arms tight a horizontal line, my jaw is set but air escapes in time, in and out in time.
But if you could go where the calm air prevented every lie,
and all of your hatred replaced with the love of human kind,
and all of your breathing so heaving and heavy all the time,
secure and stable.
Repaint your walls from red breathe life into the dead,
and overcome the need to escape everything instead.
Leave your bullets where they belong raise your voice with us in song and rise up.
You and I gotta cross between the largest of divides
and now's the time cause the gap keeps widening more.
