I'm high above the world
Why should I feel pain Or feel alone To be protected like a simple boy If I choose to let you down Begin to know You're free to go You're free to go I will fight until there's nothing left Cross the world together from this sinking ship Or drown alone Off the coast Facing nothingness Drawn to feel the emptiness Oh help me now Describe the scene You're free to go (We'll face these things some other day) You're free to go (I won't leave you you're not ok) You're free to go (We'll face these things some other day) You're free to go (I won't leave you you're not ok) Simple boy, stay here Simple boy, don't wander Simple boy, you're safe here Simple boy, simple boy So when did we lose the plot Were running against the clock Don't hesitate Or you will never know Simple boy, you're free to go Don't wander, you're free to go Simple boy, you're free to go You're safe here, you're free to go You're free to go You're free to go My simple boy, my simple boy My simple boy, my simple boy 02. Goliath Music by Karnivool
I want you
I've seen your ways Show yourself Better than what you make believe All I hear Is the sound of sleep Deafening Comfort in the arms of sweet dreams Now, this won't take long We'll rise up again And rewrite these wrongs I won't do it I've rushed you Patiently Guarding the life that you deceived I've crawled for you Or so they say We rise to it Fall again into the same dream You won't have to wait long They'll show up again Make way for the fall Wake up There's blood in your sweat when you wake up Cower, bloodsucking liar Who you gonna call when you wake up? See now What you gonna see when you wake up? Beg, you little fucking liar Your head on this chopping board If this is entertaining I hope you enjoy the view Wide awake And still asleep I'm failing this riddle in my head, I I'm failing to get it Can you say? Honestly? Wide awake And still asleep Don't leave this too long (It won't take long) Tomorrow will come (Hang around) You won't have to wait long (We'll rise up again) It's your day in the sun They've shown up again They've shown up again They've shown up again They've shown up again Please wake up!! Please wake up!! 03. New Day Music by Karnivool
How did they find me?
How did they know? This misconception of fate I'm about to let go Awake in a new light, I'm Alone in this room Heavy at heart, it may be a lie You will not see me It's a new day (Why did they follow me home?) It's a new day One More Step, it's Here waiting for you, now Go Slow, take your time Leave No Mark You lost your way I hope you're watching me One More Step, it's Here waiting for you, now Go Slow, take your time Celebrating For the one so free You lost your way No-one held you back from me How do you all Speak With a lying tongue? How do we all Sleep With a dying sun? Sit down Lighten your own This storm is coming You should stay home But I feel warm Hey, let's get lost in the crowd, while Searching for something worth holding Hey, let's get still lost in the crowd I'll show you so much more Much more So much more So much more Are we waiting? For the savior? Someone to heal this Or erase us How did they find me? How did they know? This misconception of fate I'm about to let go Awake in a new light, I'm Alone in this room Heavy at heart, it may be a lie You will not see me It's a new day It's a new day It's a new day Are we waiting? For the savior? I'm so sick of waiting I've been waiting my whole life This is a new day This is a new day This is a new day 04. Set Fire To The Hive Music by Karnivool
I don't know what's wrong but I'm on fire,
it seers through my hands, leaving skin on the wire Awake in this womb with a crown sting in my self When I listen, the same cry plays on. We're slaves In this medicated cage make a decision to face this - change. The rules they don't explain So why do we obey? Politics, religion, your vision's the same You played us, as both a cancer and a cure Which reminds me that it's just a game You're alibi - a sales pitch Your pretty boy, pretty face dolled up again A star for us to adore And you man you've got to be more Cause this effects all. It's nice to know you're with us today I've seen you in the fall along the way. I spit in the mouth of your god who whispers in the minds of our children You've been sold again. Set fire to the hive as you flee It's fiction, a faceless illusion You've been had again. You swing this wrecking ball A violent pendulum to hypnotise them all. The writing on the wall, That we keep missing A structure built to fall Still we all obey. It's nice to know you're with us today I've seen you in the fog along the way. I spit in the mouth of your god who whispers in the minds of our children You've been sold again Set fire to the hive as you flee It's fiction, a faceless illusion You've been had again. There's no second chances here There's no second chances here There's no second chances here. 05. Umbra Music by Karnivool
Paint
Me in your own way Colour my eyes See what feelings I hide No-one knows why No one can forgive Second thought Why do I care? I'll hide from subtleties while I try to face my kind And you call this feeling It's not enough Come again another day Now that my world feels at least I'll follow you home Wake me with a bottle 'cross the head I'll sleep 'til it's over and I'm sober again Safe Well I don't feel so safe here Imagine that everything's affected by a cause In this game you call luck (There's nowhere to go) Well I don't feel so lucky, no (Lie to yourself) And just when I think I've worked it out These pieces move and I'm back to the start Wake me with a bottle 'cross the head I'll sleep 'til it's over and I'm sober again Hey It's nothing that you'd understand I promised you maybe Always Do you think it matters? (Here I will stand) Do you think at all? (Here I will fall) Do we complicate it? (Organised recovery) Do we know it all? (I'll always go) I don't want to (Here I will stand) I just have to (Here I will fall) I don't need it (Organised recovery) I just want it (I'll always go) And lay this troubled sinner With a gun in your hand Now you live for no-one Knowing what you held in your arm Wasted promise Set in stone and blood Hold your promise Save your cheap remarks, just leave me here alone 06. All I Know Music by Karnivool
This is my sense of reality
This is proof of my coming of age This is truth in captivity This is loosing a theology, I I'm a soul taker I'm a cruel, witted mind This is my sense of reality This is proof of my coming of age I'm a soul taker I'm a cruel witted mind Are you with me? Are you of like minds? Are you with me? Are you of like minds? Waking, falling, free of gravity We just severed these umbilical wires This is more than just affinity We're moving further through an endless desire I'm a soul taker I'm a cruel witted mind Come again, I feel a breakdown Let's go higher This is the sound of your Reason to wake Have we forgotten now? Can we relate? It's backwards, it makes no sense So real that we can't pretend It's backwards, it makes no sense It's harder to just pretend Say it once more Say it again That this is the end Of all I know Say it once more Say it again That this is the end Of all I know Are you with me? (Can we relate?) Are you of like minds? Are you with me? (Can we relate?) Are you of like minds? Say it once more Say it again That this is the end Of all I know Say it once more Say it again That this is the end Of all I know 07. The Medicine Wears Off
See what I get
When the medicine wears off You're moving fast Try a little, see if I can make The moment last You'll burn the night up like a star You'll break this heart, you know When you're coming 'round, you're Taken by wonder of it all Where are you now? Longing for the state of mind Oh, I remember why we started blocking all we said See what I get When the medicine wears off See what I get 08. The Caudal Lure Music by Karnivool
Ask a question
Are the answers loaded like this one? You better pull yourself along Time is precious and you must act This isn't inevitable I still stand I won't get back in my cell I will not let a saviour define my freedom I'm going out now No-one is gonna save us from this We should have known better not to taste this wine we swallow For all and more, we set our recourse for tomorrow Now we could mend, we will awake this snake and follow Shatter the hourglass and what do you see Memories like grains of sand are blowing away Is this who you are? A product of fear The shell of a man who lost his innocence Hold your nerve Keep your focus There's something peculiar about the way you pay to save your soul You forfeit your dream Just let it go We should have known better not to drink this wine we swallow For all and more, we set our recourse for tomorrow Now here we stand, we will embrace it or be defiant For the moment, taken by these chemicals you can't control Ask the question Ask the question Ask the question We should have known better not to drink this wine we swallow For all and more, we set our recourse for tomorrow Now we could mend, we will embrace it or be defiant Silent moment, induced by these chemicals you can't control (Where's your God? Where's your God at? Alone) (Where's your God? Where's your God at? Alone) (Where's your God? Where's your God at? Alone) (Where's your God? (Where's your God at? Alone) 09. Illumine Music by Karnivool
Don't listen
Don't even hear a sound they make, it breaks you Unspoken Words that taunt you when you listen Forgotten Words that haunt you while you're sleeping You seem afraid, don't be alarmed It's only the face of things to come Servant to the sun, we are beings, we become as one Lighting every cell, every shape we will never form And is it relevant? Our fears, our faults As foolish as it sounds So lead us on (Only one way left) Through the world of false promise It's one thing to be forgiven (Only one way left) Only you could learn how to let it go So we are Servant to the sun, let us see, we are still as one Here lie my fault I'd give up everything To see what you see And dream on Why can't we dream on? Don't listen Don't even hear a sound they make, it breaks you These words won't help To save you Servant to the sun, we are beings, we become as one Lighting every cell, every shape we will never form These words won't help To save you Servants of the sun, let us see, we are still as one You seem afraid, don't be alarmed It's only the face of things to come 10. Deadman Music by Karnivool
Changing the tone
Changing my mind Changing the weather I feel it at first A blow from the dark Take it for better Still I remind myself How I define myself Blacker the bruise Coming up clear Vow to get better Blessed with a curse Hoping not far The deeper, the better I needed I needed to know I needed I needed to know, why Oh no This can't be happening Oh no This can't be happening Hate Is a door A fever burning for more A red light In your mind That I feed on You must've been so surprised to see That you were staring back at me Caught in a web, now Out on your own You've got nothing to stay for Or so you keep saying This year it's coming And guess what we're running from Too late for running The stitches are coming undone Grab your belongings The exit is near Making your way through Indecisiveness I needed I needed to know I needed I needed to know, why Oh no This can't be happening Oh no This can't be happening This myth is meant to die You're coming blind in this madness I'll bide all of my time for your love Come on, crooked man you'll die Like excuses pouring out a child Sing: "S.O.S. you saint" But make room for laughter No man tried here This water's dark and cold God's not where you hoped In this moment come and gone It's too late, mayday Call out: "Mayday!" While I'm still alive Hey, no matter I don't want this to end I don't want this to end I don't want this to end I don't think this will end well Hey There goes my love again No-one's Coming now Hey Out on my own again Fading face Broken frown Hey I guess I'm fucked up again No-one Will find out Hey Stare at your feet again Don't say You don't know This water's dark and cold God's not where you hoped In this moment come and gone It's time we all moved on It's time we all moved on It's time we all moved on Away!!! Still I remind myself How I define myself Still I remind myself (I needed to know) How I define myself (I needed to know) I needed to know I needed I needed to know Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh ["Change (Part 1)" (Re-recorded)] So if you like the sound of The glass that breaks against the wall I'd trade it all for several Pieces of your anger I am the interest of your heart Say: "This would wash away" I'm climbing this rope, I feel God Would I care to stare you down? I portray you in different light 11. Change Music by Karnivool
Hello
Hollow halo Hello (Can you hear them say?) Hollow halo (Can you hear them calling?) You'll never You'll never leave this world alone You'll never You'll never leave this world alone, if I Become a martyr to the stars Become a model to the same Side that I've been fighting, I'm Still afraid to crawl (No more pointing fingers at mistakes and I'm) And though I know I'm not the same (Here in a reflection) I'm still afraid to watch How do you suppose? We can lock the way to get us home What you thought was lost, now found within Feel this way there No more pointing fingers at mistakes, and I'm Here in a reflection What a way to see this thing out What a way to lay this burden down What a way to see this sorrow What a way to see this one out Hello, hollow halo Hello, hollow halo Hello, hollow halo Hello, hollow halo All this leads to nothing Still this world won't wait Complicated nothings Still this world won't wait What a way to see this thing out What a way to lay your burden down What a way to signal tragedy Hello, hollow halo Hello, hollow halo Hello, hollow halo (Can you hear them say?) Hello, hollow halo (Can you hear them calling?) (Can you hear them calling?) "You can see all of this And watch it before your eyes And everything owes its existence Solely and completely to sound Sound is a factor of which holds it together Sound is the basis of form and shape Put that into the modern idiom And say into the great voids of space Came a sound, and matter took shape Please watch carefully" Sine waves and mirrors Smoke that you inhale Try mouthing bitter tones Better left unsaid I know this will burn you So I become a fire, these days will change us all Don't you feel the same? Don't we fear the same things? Don't we feel the same? Don't you fear at all? Lay here Maybe the damage has been done As we float away like embers Beneath us, the fire, still, it burns And I don't, I don't know why Question who we are and then we die I guess, I'll see you when it ends I'll see you 'round the bend My sober sorry friend Don't you feel the same? Don't we feel the same? (I'll see you when it ends) (I'll see you 'round the bend) Don't you feel the same? (My sober sorry friend) When we collide Some say goodbye Some save their words Leaving no resolve There's a break in the wall You can feel it It's letting us all escape So, people, tell me you need A waking day To fall asleep Light your way Find your place In here |
