Shake The Ground
03:35

I'm not the one I used to be
cause i'm not used to be me
I don't preach I don't teach
I don't live and I don't give
The grass is meant to walk upon
shake the ground and dig the sun
There's two sides of the coin they said
but I like to be on the edge
everything that I shake
everything I will break
The grass is meant to walk upon
shake the ground and dig the sun
Shake the ground
Dig the sun

Fires In The Night
05:39
|
|||
|
Booming out the city of the boring
without any napkins in my hand
holding of the creeps in the meadow of the street
I got along by doing wrong
so I moved on
Looking for the out-bound travelin' crazies
looking for the fires in the night
it's how I have to bury
it's how i have to leave myself alone
Trapped inside my mind of prison
I travel far away within
I've been too scared that people would care
to keep the search alive and well for my own
Now it's time to tare the walls down
time to dig, time to dive
there comes a time when to live or to die
I have to choose or I will loose
myself again
Looking for the out-bound travelin' crazies
looking for the fires in the night
it's how I have to bury
it's how i have to leave myself alone

Leaving With The Skull
02:59
|
|||
|
Solitude and togetherness
Dancing in strobe light
Holding hands
Like everything is fine
One's suppose to stay
When the flickering goes dark and
Everyone
is crawling away inside
But some days you'll have to leave with the skull
It drips like lemonade
Through the head of a stranger
A gentle bow
Before the night is done
Coloring the sky
With bloody lust and sadness
That will not even dry
In the sun
But some days you'll have to leave with the skull

Creature
06:10
|
|||
|
A blood red sun rides in the sky
you can see the loneliness in its eye
once it was the brightest star
until it disappeared into the dark
Something gathers beyond the trees
oh, creature
The moon is growing larger now
all the birds are heading out
although they might not get that far
for this is a forest, a forest with no heart
Something gathers beyond the trees
Plows down what it sees
oh, creature
The atmosphere must catch its breath
this is the moment, the moment of death
you can hear it rumble through you past
for what it's worth, it might end fairly fast
Something gathers beyond the trees
This is the last one of your dreams
oh, creature
I know it's inside your head

The Comment Section
02:43
|
|||
|
Something is cooking, cooking inside
speaking punches, it's some kind of fight
where noone loses and noone wins
Bla, bla, bla
A conversation can turn into war
if you knock on the wrong door
a rain of words come a-pouring down
Bla, bla, bla
After a while you starting to doubt
what the hell were we talking about
Bla, bla, bla
A simple word contain so much more
something ment something else before
even when we comletely agree
Bla, bla, bla
Endless threats, comments of doom
It's like a sandbox set on the moon
Where noone hears but still the mouths move
Bla, bla, bla
After a while you starting to doubt
what the hell were we talking about
After a while you starting to doubt
what the hell were we talking about
Bla, bla, bla
Bla, bla, bla

Oh, Captain
04:45
|
|||
|
Are you tired of the clean and fresh, the destructive repetition
have you climbed so far-up inside yourself, that all you see is restriction
Then let's leave this land of dead ideas, let them dry out in the dirt
drink the wind and light the fuse, it's nothing wrong to burst
Oh captain, sail away, take us to the ocean
Set out for a different kind of life, always in motion
Now is the time when it's too late to make the decision
we will all sleep in the casket soon
we will soon be food for the fishes
With comfort and security a hole in the air you are filling
but for every nail you hammer in, it's a cage that you are building
It's hard to throw the rope I know but to not know is good
most will never jump onboard even if they could
Oh captain, sail away
Take us to the ocean
Set out for a different kind
Of life always in motion
Now is the time
when it's too late to make the decision
We will all sleep in the casket soon
We will soon be food for the fishes
Oh, captain sail away x4
Oh captain, sail away
Take us to the ocean
Set out for a different kind
Of life always in motion
Now is the time
when it's too late to make the decision
We will all sleep in the casket soon
We will soon be food for the fishes

The Root To All Evil
04:19
|
|||
|
The root to why people are evil
is that people are sad
there's darkness in all of us breathing
there's still blood in a heart that's gone bad
Actions reacts and cause friction
for some it's not their own choice
what's right and what's wrong is decieving
for the young that don't have a voice

Dead Broken Dreams
03:01
|
|||
|
At the end of the highway
It's just what it seems
an endless horizon of dead broken dreams
clouds getting heavy there's a curse in the sky
Winds feeling chilly on this late summer night
I've stacked them so thorough
I've stuck them so deep
if these dreams were awake they are now put to sleep
my head echoes empty and I just can't decide
if it was better or not, when my brain was alive
