lyrics

Give me this or I’ll take that
On your knees or lose your head
Close your eyes and next your mouth
Don’t think or you’re dead

Take this and give it to your leaders
Tell them all, “the secret's out”
Take dreams and turn them into fevers
Letting all your peoples down

Then they’ll leave me singing to the angels
Burying my face in the mud
I said leave me singing to the angels
Burying my face in the dust

All the signals are turned off
The driver is blind
He’s got snakes in his eyes
Swim down the wormhole

A kiss through the bars
Write down your love
Tension, screams
The water flows up not down here

Open up the eyes of the blue sky
Open up your eyes to the blue sky
My mind is dancing for all those living hell
Myna's dancing for all those who live in hell

Forget it, forget it, forget it
They’ll never hear you out
I said it. I meant it.
Suspending your heart, your dreams
Your attitude needs changing
They’re just waiting, yeah delaying
Hearing everything you’re saying

They want to lock you up
But you can’t stop the water
They want to kick you down
But the wind keeps blowing
And if they want to cut off your head
You know what’ll happen

You’re gonna wind up dead
We’re gonna wind up dead

I’m not the one who makes you cry
"Where did all the songs go?"
I’m not the one who makes you cry
While the rivers all dry up
I’m not the one

I’m not the one who pulls you down
I’m the slow crashing wave

"It’s a diverse sounding album with a soundscape that wanders from dark to light and textured. It moves from gentle numbers to those caustic and exploratory."
- Brian Tucker of Star News ... more
