Here Comes The Beast
01:52
|
|||
Here comes the beast,
here comes the animal.
We can't stop it.
Here comes the beast,
here comes the animal.
We can't stop it,
but we can resist.
And in resistance
there is hope.

Bellcast
02:48
|

The sounds of Mabilon
Muse invoking
Song of the Bell
“I call the living
I repel lightning
I mourn the dead”
I thought you’d be the one.
A rare phenomenon.
Ornate doors open
to your peal I love.
The sounds of Mabilon.
Zenith of your song.
That time has come and gone.
Until we call upon.
Tintinnabulation.
Hallowed occasions.
Escort our transitions.
Your knell I love.
As your closing bell tolls
I’m in the afterglow.
I could never forego
your ring I love.

Elephant
03:32
|
|||
Out of your element,
you're out of your place.
Forced into exile,
you're out of your place.
You're an elephant,
stomping around
place to place.
Why do you destroy
all of this space?
You're an elephant,
you are.
You're an elephant,
you are.
And if you knew
what you are,
you'd know
it's the fault
of the baby elephant.
No?

Unless You've Lived It
06:03
|
|||
I'm locked in this room.
It seems from the outside.
I want to break through,
to not feel confined.
But if I do,
surroundings could kill me.
Imagine that truth
as if it were your own.
Because it's so dangerous
for someone like me
to look you straight in the eye
and say that we're equals.
So I keep my head down until
the threat is gone.
And if I run like I used to
won't it just seem
like I am guilty of something
I'm trying to flee.
We live inside a power imbalance.
I don't think you could
ever understand
what it is
I'm fighting.
I approach the stand
afraid to confront this.
I must defend
what no one believes.
Thought they were my friends,
but now I'm uncertain
when this nightmare will end
or what building trust means.
They'll ask me,
"What were you wearing?"
"What did you drink?"
"Why were you standing alone there,
what did you think would happen?"
"You really ought to be
more careful."
I guess it's my fault they drugged me
and took me away
to places I did not know and
still to this day
I have no idea what was done
to my limp body.
I don't think you could
ever understand
what it is
I'm fighting.
I don't think you could
ever understand
what it is
I'm fighting,
unless you've lived it.
Unless you've lived it.

Haiku Song
05:23
|
|||
The eyes of the trees
fixed on intentions of them
predicting the end.
The flow of our streets
disrupt the life of the deer
they tell our headlights.
We don't ask what they need.
We make their homes our streets.
They don't have a say.
Their death is their speech.
Frozen ancient sheets
disappearing from their beds
advance and retreat.
We don't wanna leave.
All we know is a linear being.
Forgotten twin eternities.
Let go of what was and could be.

For You
03:04
|
|||
I'll stop the train for you.
I'll stop the train for you.
And you throw me off.
You throw me off.

Whale Fall
05:19
|
|||
Your husk sinks into the abyss.
Drawing all the life that surrounds it.
Spiral down with your residents.
Traveling on to a new end.
(The end of your life.)
Their fate now a funeral march.
Gathering tithes in the death swirl.
Water dark masks out all of the light
from the old world that they came from.
(Fell from in your plight.)
They live in your whale fall.
They live in your rot gut.

Black Cat
04:14
|
|||
I'm a black cat waiting for headlights.
I'm a black cat waiting for headlights.
I keep waiting for something to happen.
I keep waiting for something...
I taught myself to cry.
I taught myself to cry.
I taught myself to die.
All by myself.
I taught myself to die.
I taught myself to die.
But I taught myself to fly.
All by myself.

Cetacean Shadow
05:23
|
|||
Our love was like a
blue whale
swimming through a
neighborhood.
Didn't notice it
coming yet there
gazing at its underbelly
we stood.
[For the end bit: scramble these phrases up and sing them when you feel it.]
Our love's Cetacean Shadow.
Gazing at its underbelly.
We're caught up in its current.

Your Eyes Fall
04:48
|
|||
Your
eyes
fall.
Your eyes
fall.
Your eyes
fall
as...
As we...
As we...
rise up.
As we rise up.
