Lover save me, please stay with me
I've gone overboard and I'm drifting
They come quickly, kiss and kill me
I couldn't take no more so are you with me?
The water is so warm, it's not far to the shore
dive in, swim with me we'll be castaways watching the ship go down
and yes maybe, I'm just crazy but isn't that why you love me
so come on baby
the water is so warm it's not far to the shore dive in swim with me we'll be castaways watching the ship go down.
swim with me

Another Ghost
02:22
|

|
There's that voice again
trying to tell me the sky is falling
it's just the echo of someone long gone
but lingering
And now you're infected
Owner of another liar's secret
Oh no
Not another ghost
oh oh oh
oh no
Not another ghost
Oh no
Not another ghost
oh oh oh
oh no
Not another ghost
I'm going crazy
complete with commentary
But no one's on the phone
So dear when you're not near
You're never really alone
Whisper to me in my dreams
Never ever get to sleep
And now you're infected
Owner of another liar's voice in your head
And now you're infected
Oh no
Not another ghost
oh oh oh
oh no
Not another ghost

Conspiracy
03:43
|
|||
|
Fool me once, shame. Fool me again, I'm to blame.
I'm not lonely or insane. Conspiracy is real.
Liar liar, lone gunman in Dallas, yeah
Jet fuel fires? Demolitions look like this.
conspiracy is real. Greys in the wheat fields.
Blood for your black gold. War of worlds for control
I'm not crazy, I'm fucking angry.
Cause you lied to me, talked down to me.
I'm not cynical. I am logical.

Bear & Bull
03:16
|
|
||
|
No more yield the floor to the gentlemen
No confusion
We've exposed these stained robes
They pose no solution
Melodies of revolution,
they're spreading in waves
When they break upon the shores of my kingdom
I'll bring it to the slaves
While the Bear and Bull sing
"let the wolves in"
Let the the wolves in
'cause it's feeding-time, all the time
making love to this sweet succubus
Suck the sagging teet of this dying beast
Even if the milk is souring
We've got some easing for ya babe
We'll ease it in, we'll ease it on in
While the Bear and Bull film

Room Full Of Nothing
03:42
|
|||
|
They let the damn burst and drown the citizens
Took a bullet point-blank from a paper gun
Flooding in the streets, liquidity,
Dimes and nickles while the bear and the bull sing
"This is the new way. Ours is the new way"
Bear our disgrace.
What did we get for your faithful service?
Armies around the world, fear, and a room full of nothing
Invisible foundations, are you waiting for the ground to give as well?
Don't despair. we will make it through
The needs of the many outweigh the few.
This is the new way?
Fuck your new way.
What did we get for your faithful service?
Armies around the world, fear, and a room full of nothing

Moksha
03:56
|
|
||
|
Get work, to pay to exist,
to maintain my own cell
They say it's a curse, the vanity
Oh the humanity, of course, it's me
Blame the wind for this frail house of cards you built
54321 are you having fun?

99 Monkeys
03:34
|
|||
|
In their minds they thought they knew better
oh the lies they tried to sell us
Good intentions always pave the path
that's littered with the dead
99 wait for the one to come around
99 wait until the hundredth awakes
So these few wide-eyed monkeys creep
The herd still fast asleep while shepherds and wolves count sheep
Soon a trigger will spark a light and they all will see
Evolve.

Rex
02:32
|
|
||
|
Rex!
Where were you?
I called and prayed
Til I was blue
Where were you?
Messages they said you left
I want to hear it from your lips
Rex, my lord so tremendous is her roar
It filters through
Today I come to meet you
No gates, no harps, only silence
And the dark, oh the dark
Rex!
Where were you? Oh Rex

Black Blood
04:31
|
|
||
|
Coalescence of ailments in a violent collision
Could it manifest forty days of rain?
Poisoned by drinking her blood
and drown in her nourishing flood
Don't say you didn't see this coming
you consumed, you soaked up this doom
The bull, the bear, charging, the wealth
was a room full of nothing
The unprepared perpetually scared
The love misdirect from brother to paper
from lover to fame, fortune to shame
So fire the guns, push forward
Grow, bloat this ego
Distribute the death, spread the wealth
Call it progress
Black Blood in the viens of this broken body
My addiction, look how it serves me
I am one with my love now
so drink me children

Dread Patrol
04:09
|
|
||
|
Close your eyes don't think too much
Move on now straight ahead gotta be on time
there's daylight burning
in the air, on the ground, in the sea, you can see US
the guns of sovereignty fire
as our sense of self keeps slipping away
To keep you, leave you living in fear
They want you, need you living in fear
To keep you, leave you living in fear
Here comes the dread patrol
And the fate goes on and on
it's the same old song sing to the doldrums
(drifting, sinking, wilting, fiending,
bloody awful sickness, the cure has its grip on me
there's poison in the wells)
To keep you leave you living in fear
They want you, need you living in fear
To keep you leave you living in fear
Here comes the dread patrol
And the fate goes on and on
it's the same old song sing to the doldrums
(drifting, sinking, wilting, fiending)
it's the same old song sing to the doldrums
(drifting, sinking, wilting, fiending)

The New Paradigm
05:09
|
|
||
|
Take a breath, hold it in
As we make our final decent
Can you see it? target dead ahead
Are you blind with anger, armed with arrogance
claiming, faking ignorance
Soon a light will shine on these lies we tell ourselves
face the evidence
All the blood around the world it's the dawn of a new day
All the armies around the world
It's the dawn of a new day.
So we burn the enemies down one by one til there's nothing left
If you don't like it well then we'll string you up right next to them
God bless this new paradigm if there's anyone left alive
may the light shine for them
watch how they offend us
with denial and contempt for our justice and terrorize
blissful silence to the path of righteous violence
feigning ignorance, faking innocence.
