Hypesthesia – lyrics

3arthquake

the truth is only half of it
the world is a grey place
hard to find a safe space
all the things we left unsaid
get the fuck out of my head
don’t want to feel it

You swallowed the spider to catch the fly
but now it’s eating your insides
my dear the world is not black and white
now nothing can prevent the ache
call it karma call it fate
I guess we’ll have to let the earth quake

you’re the girl I will never love
street light miracles
talking in circles
breaking down as we’re breaking up
fault line surges
california purges
break it up, break it up, break it up

CHORUS

I’m like the moon
in all I can do is drag the oceans around you
my gravity found you
so run from the tide
lost you in the light
the background radiation
that’s feeding and feeding
devouring what’s in your web

CHORUS

Monsters + Vultures

The monster
is expecting you
to lay down and die
to give up inside
the monster
is coming to
steal what you love
and that’s why you must

Stand Up
Whatever you do
Rise Up
No one will do it for you
Don’t let everything that happens define you
So you have to wake up
Stand up

The vultures are circling
with cameras and drones
to chew on your bones
your culture / your enemy
they laugh in your face
but lust for your taste
(you’ve got no time to waste)

Stand Up
Whatever you do
Rise Up
No one will do it for you
don’t let this misery define you
design you, defy you
you gotta’ stand up
oh won’t you rise up
you have to wake up
rise up
stand Up

You are the chosen
they are the past
you are the future and there’s
no going back

Why all the needless suffering?
Why all the hate when
we can break the cycle
break the chain
embrace tomorrow and
wash the past away

Stand Up
Whatever you do
Rise Up
No one will do it for you
Don’t let endless tragedy define you
confine you, destroy you
you gotta’ stand up…

Vertigo

Say when
if you’ve had enough of this
Hanging on the edge of the abyss
Howling how’d we get this far
dancing in the dark

(CH)
So we go
into the fire, into the flame
into the light of the darkest day
into the deepest lion’s den
and we’d do it all again
for the pain that’s in our heart
for the ones that we let go
face the vertigo

Take me down
to the muddy water
spin me ’round
like there’s no tomorrow
Sacred ground
left to us by our fathers
take down, take down, take down
walls that are all around

Say when if you’ve had enough of this
Hanging from the edge of the abyss

Now we go
into the shadow
into a dream
into the trace of a memory
into the seething spider’s web
and we’d do it all again
for the love that’s in our heart
for the ones that we let go
face the Vertigo

So. Take. Heart.
In reveries.
if that’s what helps you sleep.
If it settles down your wicked mind.

CHORUS

So. Take. Heart.

Hypesthesia

Where did we go so wrong?
I’ve been trapped in this cell so long
that I’m numb

The raging storm embraced the pyre
so mysterious we’re wired
Can’t foretell a heart’s desire
Can’t rebuild a house on fire

Where did we go so wrong?
I’ve been trapped in this shell so long
that I’m numb

Like the distant wail of a siren
there’s a growing fear inside us
I can prove your heart is dire
did you let your soul expire?

Where did we go so wrong?
I’ve been down in this cell so long
But tell me what have you done with my heart?
I’ve been fooling myself from the start
and I’m numb

I’m paralyzed, desensitized, immobilized.
anesthetized, demoralized, it’s in your eyes
But now the cross that we made
we commit to the flames
as the nothingness grows
’til we’re feasting with the crows

So tell me where did we go so wrong
(Where did it go so wrong?)
I’ve been doubting myself so long
(Now everything’s gone)
and tell me what have you done
with my heart
(We’re living in the dark)
it’s been building this shell
since you’ve gone
(Where did it go so wrong?)
that I’m numb.
I’ve been down in this cell so long
that I’m numb.

DANCE THE MACABRE

Lead us at the ceremony
in the temple
where the bodies tremble

Waiting for your turn
to put this world to burn
look me in the eyes
and shed your disguise
we dance the macabre

Spin circles round the dead
with bodies painted red
oh come take my hand
’til you understand
we dance the macabre

Night fall and the bones arising
Decay looms on the black horizon

Just waiting for your turn
to put this world to burn
look me in the eyes
and shed your disguise
we dance the macabre

Waiting for your touch
to save us from the flood
oh come take my hand
so you understand
we dance the macabre

We look the same
beyond the grave
Don’t be afraid
they know your name

1984

We are the orphans of revolution
we are the children of a dying sun
always bite our tongue
TVs always on
as we’re staring into oblivion

we are the beacons of society
electric eyes observe our blasphemies
but remember your savior
is watching out for good behavior

If this is the future
I swear I’ve been here before
welcome to 1984
welcome to a new world
with shadows under the door
welcome to 1984

Beware the leeches of society
with blood red hands behind the scenery
remember your neighbor
is watching out for your behavior

CHORUS

Let’s spread a virus
let’s start a war
there’s no returning
the way it was before

So this is the future
I swear I’ve seen it before
welcome to 1984
welcome to a new world
with shadows under the door
welcome to 1984
If this is the future
I swear I’ve been here before
Welcome to a new world
just check your guns at the door
welcome to 1984

ICE AEGE

Not another minute
not another second
not another night wasted
waiting for the day to break

There’s a war inside
it’s kinda hard to see sometimes
a fight to the death for my emotions
In my earliest memories
I thought that I was a freak
my conscience babbled like an ocean

Yeah.
Today’s the day that I stood in the sun
Yeah.
How will I know when the ice age is done?

Now a cold wind blows
through my arteries
I swear I’m frozen to the marrow
I wanna join the revelry
I wanna feel everything
But I’m addicted to the sorrow

Yeah.
Today’s the day that I stood in the sun
Yeah.
But how will I know when the ice age is done?

Bring the hammer down
On the frozen ground

Not another minute
not another second
not another night wasted
waiting for the dawn to break

Yeah.
Today’s the day that we stood in the sun
Yeah.
But how will we know when the ice age is done?

Today’s the day we stand up
today’s the day we fear
today’s the day that we stood in the sun

Parallel Universe

We don’t know just who we want to be
so we stare into a screen
We don’t care long as we can live the dream
so we buy the lies we need
We don’t say the things we really mean
yeah we’re taught to be this way
WE don’t know which direction we should go
so we look the other way

but now here we stand
upon a line drawn in the sand
as if we found the promised land
careening in reverse
in a parallel universe
we’ve awoken to a world that we deserve
in a parallel universe

You don’t know if you’re ever gonna’ leave
so you dig the roots in deep
You don’t care as long as you believe
in all your broken dreams
but now’s the time to start over again
forget every way you’ve hurt
now’s the time to watch the whole thing burn

And yet here we stand
upon a line drawn in the sand
as if we found the promised land
how can we be so sure?
in a parallel universe
we’ve awoken to a world that we deserve
in a parallel universe

We can watch it all in reverse
We can watch it all as it burns

famine war and repression
we will make no concessions
love and hate are one in the same
another multi-verse
will we repeat our curse
forever and ever and again

And yet here we stand
between some lines draw in the sand
as if we found the promise land…

WASTELAND

New oasis for the faithless…

there is a place where the cannibals dance
among the murderers and sycophants
upon a lake with waves made of sand
until you go you just won’t understand

New oasis
for the faithless
we ride
to the end of the world

Say hello to the Wasteland
in the quicksand
if you don’t think fast
you’re a dead man
there’s a lost cause
on your right hand
and a mushroom cloud
on your left
say hello to the wasteland

Among the bones of society
a new tribe with a new disease
the clock is tick, ticking see the temperature rise
you’ve found your home but you’re losing your mind

No escape from annihilation
tonight
Is this the end of the world?

Say hello to the Wasteland
in the quicksand
if you don’t think fast
you’re a dead man
there’s a lost cause
on your right hand
and a mushroom cloud
on your left
say hello to the wasteland
say hello to the wasteland
I swear there’s a way to get out
but I’m having my doubts
no one has found it yet
say hello to the wasteland

Are you ready to pull the trigger?
‘Cuz I’m ready to start again.

eXpectations†

I saw you spread your broken wings
and so I knelt to kiss the ring
I saw you take a bow and sing
I know you thought of everything
Everything

You wear the planet on your brow
you cannot ever let us down
I guess I’ll see you in the spring
‘cuz I know you thought of everything

Don’t you leave now
Don’t let me drown
Anyhow

But I’m not the person that I thought
and I can’t be something that I’m not
oh won’t you save me from the night
oh won’t you make everything right
Everything

But when the sun rose on that day
and everything was still the same
my soul did make a dreadful sound
I went outside and tore you down
tearing you down
tearing you down
Everything
