The Change

another scar is revealing
all the lines in your face
and the endless nights we spend
dancing a razor blade
so we drive
ghosts on highways
playing all those songs
didn’t need your sympathy
I just wanted to sing along
I never wanted to change
too wild to stay the same
I never wanted to change
too wild to stay the same
one more year is behind you
memories embraced
all the endless nights we spent
between a razor blade
so we drive
coastal highways
don’t know what went wrong
didn’t need you to wait for me
if you don’t know where you belong
I never wanted to change
too wild to stay the same
I never wanted to change
too wild to stay the same
they’ll get inside of your brain
and try to make you tame
I never wanted
I never wanted to change
I never wanted to change
too wild to stay the same
I never wanted to change
too wild to stay the same
they’ll get inside of your brain
I’d rather go insane
I never wanted
I never wanted
to change

Deceiver

hey, something’s wrong with you
and you can’t blame it
on a thunder moon
you’ve had too much
of your Bitches Brew
well if you’d only let me
I could pull you through
deceiver
all is not lost
but wide oceans
wait for you to cross
hey, something’s wrong with you
and you can’t pin it
to the things I do
when the hour was late
all the fear that grew
turned you a judas
like I never knew
deceiver
all is not lost
but wide oceans
wait for you to cross
deceiver
all is not lost
but wide oceans
wait for you to cross
deceiver
your head in your hands
don’t let wide oceans
make you a gambling man
I’ll hold you in memory
a sea of dreams were lost
so far but so close to me
a sea of sound to cross
how quickly you turn on me
and apathy exhausts
deceiver
all is not lost…

Primitive Man

brother, sister, take the knife from me
I’m afraid I’ve come undone
now the devil has touched both our hands
there’s too much blood to bite my tongue
and then you try to take my rights from me
like it’s uneven where we stand
the world will teach you bittersweet feeling
but won’t bend to your demand
oh man
here he comes
an enigma
head rings in hollow sound
and your ideas are not your own
he’s had them all somehow
seething and spitting
neanderthal on land
he’s got all the makings of a
primitive man
feel fire burning
feel fire burning
you can drown yourself in apathy
black and blue your wheel of war
and all the errors of your thoughtless ways
they must be hell to answer for
no more
now here he comes
an enigma
head rings in hollow sound
and your ideas are not your own
he’s had them all somehow
seething and spitting
neanderthal on land
he’s got all the makings of a
primitive man
primitive man
primitive man
now here he comes
an enigma
head rings in hollow sound
and your ideas are not your own
he’s had them all somehow
seething and spitting
neanderthal on land
he’s got all the makings of a
primitive man

frost bitten memory
swinging its head around
lost all ability
to tell sword and shadow
from crown
be that as a lady
I can’t go follow you on
so I turn around
in an instant
and your face was lost
in the crowd
and hell freezes over
time’s hand on my shoulder
frost bitten memory
swinging its head around
vast unpleasantry
you kick me when I’m already down
be that as a lady
I can’t go follow you on
so I turn around
in an instant
and your face was lost
in the crowd
and hell freezes over
I’m 1,000 years older
I look over my shoulder
feel 1,000 years older
bodies lay on the shoreline
mothers
fathers
lose their minds
marvel at man’s creation
how their souls love frustration
butcher bastard opinion
trample children and women
they came to find
what is gone, what is gone
look around
now it’s gone, now it’s gone
came to see
what’s become, what’s become
death lives here
move along, move along
and hell freezes over
and hell freezes over
I’m 1,000 years older

Soothsayer
04:54
|

|
If you wonder how it all got started
then rise from the grave
roam the fields with the brokenhearted
where blood has stained the page
soothsayer
dream taker
earth is trembling as the days expire
and darkness surrounds
fate is spoken on the lips of liars
and truth is fed to hounds
if we’re running to the hills all the time
then where will we land
those who father such unholy outcomes
they hold the devil’s hand
soothsayer
dream taker
who’s the keeper of your dark desire
and what are the laws of man
with the ash from a funeral pyre
the gods forsake the land
soothsayer
dream taker

I can feel it as the tide rolls in
heads hanging down
and my ears to the ground, and why
listen, I just want to start again
they can’t tell me how to live out my life and die
oh no
I hear them coming
tearing our lives to ground
oh lord
they got you running
I don’t have time for that now
can you feel the thunder?
beats in your chest
and consumes all the rest, oh my
I’m still near you, brother
they can’t tell you how to live out your life and die
oh no
I hear them coming
tearing our lives to ground
oh lord
they got you running
I don’t have time for that now
all my memories are growing thin
I traded them in for the road and the open sky
we can burn it down and start again
they can’t tell us how to live out our lives and die
oh no
I hear them coming
tearing our lives to ground
oh lord
they got you running
I don’t have time for that now
wildness is your mother
trust her

Amor Gravis

curse the sun for you
sitting here without a view
and all the day long
I wait for night to get me through
I’ve seen your face
I know your name
looking back
I never knew the truth
looking back
I never knew you
through the years
you made our love a tomb
looking back
I think I’d rather lose
curse the sun for you
blood is turning cobalt blue
and when the light’s gone
a blackened sky will make me new
I’ve seen your face
I know your name
looking back
I never knew the truth
looking back
I never knew you
through the years
you made our love a tomb
looking back
I think I’d rather lose
through the years
you made our love a tomb
hardened heart
an evil in me grew…
yes, it grew
will you let me lose
will you let me lose
will you…
we’re all the same, we’re all the same
never change, we never change
we’re all the same, we’re all the same
never change, we never change
looking back, I never knew
looking back, I never knew the truth
through the years, you made our love
through the years, you made our love a tomb
a tomb…
