Sweet Glow 05:17
lyrics
buy track
All that’s left to find You won’t be surprised By the look of things The thread is stripping thin A forgotten dream That somewhere in the West We will find freedom Somewhere in the West Somewhere in the West Snake in the garden Isn’t she so beautiful Juices dripping down her body Consumer her soul for a soul Into the darkness We’ll follow her sweet glow Into the flames Your spirit goes Call it a lie I won’t believe it til’ I see it with my eyes This contradiction keeps me safe At story time And I’ve had enough of this Somewhere in the West Snake in the garden Isn’t she so beautiful Juices dripping down her body Consumer her soul for a soul Into the darkness We’ll follow her sweet glow Into the flames Your spirit goes Goes Goes Ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo Snake in the garden Isn’t she so beautiful Juices dripping down her body Consumer her soul for a soul Into the darkness We’ll follow her sweet glow Into the flames Your spirit goes Crunch time and the mirror’s never showing where we’re going But we know that it’s some mirage Don’t dodge it, make your sick Acting like a little bitch Got to learn to deal with the things You were never meant to know One shot, do we every have a shot? Are we still trying to kill the king? Are we all alone? Or One kind, all aligned, flowing through the soup to find Who we really are when we taste that sweetest glow

Everything you know, now you see right through it Acid that you dropped, break through the glass ceiling Now your blasting off, power that you’re wielding Mastering of all your thoughts and feelings Oh, it fucking hurts but I still lover her Oh, the monsters are our dads and brothers Oh, yeah we’re the same yeah we’re under cover This was never meant to be Yeah Into the heart of it We’re never coming back Off into the wood Woah Into the heart of it We are the gods of time Come and fuck with us Woah, you’re trying to forget it But now you’re remembering And feeling connected Oh ho Not doing your best, yeah But you’re not like the rest of them Putting it to the test and then Oh They’ll take your life with thinking You can buy the high while the dancers bleeding You can live a lie that you’re know you’re leading Belly of the beast and the beast needs feeding Oh, the day you looked and you saw right through it Space and time shook and they never knew it Profits on their way to their righteous ruin This is fucking entropy Yeah Into the heart of it We’re never coming back Off into the wood Woah Into the heart of it We are the gods of time Come and fuck with us Come, and fuck, with us Yeah Yeah Yeah Into the heart of it We’re never coming back Off into the woods Woah Into the heart of it We are the gods of time Come and fuck with us

This Time 04:10
lyrics

What you calling for what you calling for? I thought you said it was all a metaphor, for Free will and wisdom undefiled Can these stories be reconciled? I just want to know, who the master is I will overthrow, known since I was just a kid Prayers up to God, wasted on the dead They won’t save your from the monsters underneath your bed They’ve got so much to show They are reflections of your demons They’ve abdicated from the light And you alone can bring them in Bring them in to the light Of Lucifer This time I, might finally get it right Please don’t let go Follow through the night The visions of the light Never meant to go home In the night, we’ll finally get it right Please don’t let go Follow through the night The visions of the light Never meant to go home What you falling for? What you falling for? It was all the key to something more, more, more, more, more Do you want to know what you go into? Reborn in the wilderness of truth Truth I’m my own God, I cannot sin Following the law, that I find within I am listening to the universe What they’re calling love is actually in reverse They’ve got so much to show They are reflections of your demons They’ve abdicated from the light And you alone can bring them in Oh oh Bring them in to the light This time I, might finally get it right Please don’t let go Follow through the night The visions of the light Never meant to go home In the night, we’ll finally get it right Please don’t let go Follow through the night The visions of the light Never meant to go home This time I, might finally get it right Please don’t let go Follow through the night The visions of the light Never meant to go home In the night, we’ll finally get it right Please don’t let go Follow through the night The visions of the light Never meant to go home

Propaganda Song 02:29
lyrics

Here’s the propaganda that they won’t show ya You are like a robot they can unplug ya Working all your life so you can own nothing There are very few that every own something Here’s the propaganda that they hide from ya You’re the proletariat and they, own ya Or you’re the bourgeoisie and you might want to Open up your wallet ‘fore we come for your jewels It is not our way But violence started everything And it ends the same We’re justified to liberate It is such a shame That we were born into these bankers chains And getting paid To take our place and not complain It is not our way But violence started everything And it ends the same We’re justified to liberate It is such a shame That we were born into these bankers chains And getting paid To take our place and not complain You know what I’m saying but you won’t do it You’re never meant for freedom and you always knew it You don’t want to loose you think we’re so stupid Not everyone’s ready for the real revolution It is not our way But we see no other way to take Equality We’re justified to liberate It is such a shame That we were born into these bankers chains And getting paid To take our place and not complain It is not our way But violence started everything And it ends the same We’re justified to liberate It is such a shame That we were born into these bankers chains And getting paid To take our place and not complain

Dancing in the Light 04:10
lyrics
buy track
Breathing deep to clear the view Pure awareness shining through Shed your dogma and conclude Hate and love delude you You like that You’d change it if you could But when you look back There’s nothing you would change Becoming clear that Things happen like they should But even with that I cannot look away Hard to know What is true Who are you? When you’re reaching out Outside of what you knew And everything you do When you’re wrong or right Torture and delight Realizing it’s not you You start to see life From the inside out Not from the outside in Reflecting endlessly The separation A story that we’re taught But even with that I cannot look away Hard to know What is true Who are you? When you’re reaching out Outside of what you knew And everything you do When you’re wrong or right Torture and delight Realizing it’s not you You’re dancing in the light, oh I cannot look away Hard to know What is true Who are you? You, you, you, you

1K Red Balloons 02:57
lyrics
Are you ever bothered By the thousand red balloons Flying up above the conquered Let ‘em know what they’ve got to loose That’s what we’ve got to loose I say it ‘cause it’s true Point and shoot Yeah this is how we do Crying out for justice Let ‘em know if it rings true Arm-chair skeptics will abhor us But the people will come through That’s what we’ve got to prove I’ll prove it all to you Point and shoot Yeah this is how we do Yeah Marching to the chorus Let ‘em know what we might do When they come without a warrant We will point, and we will shoot ‘Cause that’s just what we do We’ll prove it all to you Point and shoot Yeah this is how we do Yeah All over the world Flying red balloons Are you ever bothered By the thousand red balloons Flying up above the conquered Let ‘em know what they’ve got to loose That’s what we’ve got to loose

Fall Into Orbit 03:49
lyrics

Go so far Run away Into the Market of ideas Learn the law Of the land Learn to fight Bite the hand, feedin’ ya This is it, you can fly Up and down, through the sky Round and round, in your mind Within the, barrier When did you, misalign When you stopped, asking why You are not, really fine Slave to the internet Fall into orbit Suddenly, feelin’ nostalgic Ought to be, a little more modest When we just, took what we wanted Oh yeah Go so far Try it out Maybe you’ll Find what it’s all about Nothing new Know it all Nothing true You get the idea This is it, you can fly Up and down, in your mind What you learned, doing crime Only for, social cred When did you, misalign When you stopped, asking why Are you lost, or refined? Servant of capital You fall into orbit Suddenly, feelin’ nostalgic Ought to be, a little more honest When we just, took what we wanted They are conformists Finally, dying to join us Secretly, singing our chorus When we just, took from before us Oh yeah Go so far Run away Into the Market of ideas

Never Like Before 03:51
lyrics

It’s so easy to look elsewhere It’s out there, not your affair And I’m not saying it’s not wasted But it’s the same as, in your head It’s crazy, but I’m not crazy But just maybe, a little scared I’m shaking, and still awake but I can’t awaken, I have no prayer Never really like before But we know That we’ve got to carry on But we won’t Ever forget how it was When we were Never gonna grow apart I feel down sometimes I don’t really want to know what’s going on inside my mind What’s inside Endless well of desperation We’ve been here before I don’t want to be the one to tell you how it goes Oh, no, not for sure Baby that’s the way you find bliss Just another door Just another way we keep it moving along For sure, nothing more But that’s not what’s important Never really like before But we know That we’ve got to carry on But we won’t Ever forget how it was When we were Never gonna grow apart

Self-Mutilation (Won't Forget) 03:00
lyrics
buy track
I don’t really hate you Hate is in my scared flesh Razor blades and cigarettes Whiskey on my last breath Punish the form you hate Let the body wash away Open the prison gates It seems, so obscene But I don’t want to go home yet If this is, all there is We’ll take the pain, we won’t forget I can see the darkness in your eyes I can see the part that wants to die Fly away to paradise Or burn in the flames I can hear the screams and the cries It's a human sacrifice Bear witness It seems, so obscene But I don’t want to go home yet If this is, all there is We’ll take the pain, we won’t forget

Wake up Rise Embrace Your guide I think, I know what you saw Just dreams, or is it true? Sitting, on your bed foot Starring, back at you I think, it’s your old friend I think, you know who Will your turn away or Do what you’re called to do? Yeah Uh huh Go! Let go, what you know So shallow Underneath it all, we are the Gods Use your illusions Diffuse them We can have it all, if you can hear the call I think, I know what you saw Just dreams, or is it true? Sitting, on your bed foot Starring, back at you I think, it’s your old friend I think, you know who Will your turn away or Do what you’re called to do? Yeah Uh huh uh huh Go! I think, I know what you saw Just dreams, or is it true? Sitting, on your bed foot Starring, back at you I think, it’s your old friend I think, you know who Will your turn away or Do what you’re called to do? Wake up

Down to Go 03:46

It’s a lie I can see it in your eye Everything was meant to die, meant to fly I want to know What’s with you You want nothing to do With the righteous side of life It’s alright, I’m down to go Go oh oh oh Ooo You are seeking Relieving Everything you known before The meaning Of being Where you’ve been Where you’ll go I think, you will find home Home Thinking, that you could ever know Know, oh no no no, no Maybe, somewhere in the shadows The black holes Something, that you’ve always known It's love You are seeking Relieving Everything you known before The meaning Of being Where you’ve been Where you’ll go
