To sacrifice oneself never made sense to me
Cause life is really the only and last gift we've all received Some men waste it in the name of something that you can't see Continually defeats the purpose of that something creating Oh delusions aren't meant to justify, justify the things you do Oh delusions never really qualified, qualified as an excuse As he approached the city center with the skyline in view There was nothing left to contemplate he knew he must follow through With the plan certified by faith and the plan written in death At that moment this was it, he took his last breath Oh delusions aren't meant to justify, justify the things you do Oh delusions never really qualified, qualified as an excuse No more hiding, no more hiding, no more blame No more fighting, no more fighting, no more pain And no more chaos, no more chaos, no more stress And no more addiction, no more addiction, no more mess And no more attitudes, no more swollen heads No more greed, no more feeding from the hand No more whining, no more blame it on the man Realize it's your own fault 03. Ireland Music by dredg Lyrics by Gavin Hayes
I'll never leave this place
No I'll never leave this place I'll never leave the place where I was born Because beyond these town limits Even though I've never seen 'em There's really nothing else to explore There's nothing more, there's nothing more There's nothing more Where is your intrigue and interest You don't have any questions or wonder Why would I leave this place when I'm comfortable right here Everything I need and more isn't far, it's near I'll never leave this place No I'll never leave this place I'll never leave the place where I was born Because beyond these town limits Even though I've never seen 'em There's really nothing else to explore There's nothing more, there's nothing more You have created a falsehood A focused yet close-minded view There's no telling where we'll be at this same time next year But I do know one thing it won't be far from here I'll never leave this place No I'll never leave this place I'll never leave the place where I was born Because beyond these town limits Even though I've never seen 'em There's really nothing else to explore There's nothing more, there's nothing more There's nothing more There's nothing more 04. Stamp Of Origin: Pessimistic Music by dredg Lyrics by Gavin Hayes
Pessimistic, yes, it may seem
But if you'd been there You'd know what I mean A struggle and suffering that won't go away It won't go away It won't go away 05. Light Switch Music by dredg Lyrics by Gavin Hayes
Was put in a round room and told to sit in the corner
While they washed my brain with a dirty rag Was given a hammer and told to build a fortress With walls impossible to penetrate You're the only thing I need And you've become the only thing that keeps me breathing Without you I'd be In a dark place with no light switch An open wound without a stitch Maybe now you will understand No matter how stable your foundation may seem Everything is crashing down on me With paper cuts on finger tips, blackened eyes and open lips Forever wounded it's hard to tell You're the only thing I need Whether I fail or succeed Within my blindness, you are all I see The morning fog, sun burns away A predator's eye without its prey Maybe now you will understand I won't quit on you No, I won't quit on you I won't let it in Ever Ever 06. Gathering Pebbles Music by dredg Lyrics by Gavin Hayes
Wait for me
You're onto something Maybe there's no need To play catch up, to play catch up You're casually Casually walking through life without a worry Worried its effects will show So now I'm gathering Gathering the pebbles I need to drink from the well So thirsty, so thirsty Wait for me Well I am not very far behind So wait for me I'm still chasing you Wait for me Well I am not very far behind So wait for me While I play catch up, play catch up But thankfully Thankfully I haven't been taken very seriously Seriously anxious to run the course without stumbling Stumbling over fences Now I'm falling Falling down the hillside It's way too steep Wait for me Well I am not very far behind So wait for me I'm still chasing you Wait for me Well I am not very far behind So wait for me I'm still chasing you I happened to take a chance Now there's no turning back Return to childhood dreams They're rusted figurines I've been through life fast Riding over broken glass There is no question now That I will catch up Will catch up Will catch up 07. Information Music by dredg Lyrics by Gavin Hayes
You're suffering, I feel your pain
Allow me to be your sponge 'Cause I can absorb your sorrows, I'm the one Fire may rain down on you, but I'll be your water Waves may crash on you, but I'll be your land 'Cause I want to give you just a temporary bliss Just a little bit Just a little bit A little more information To add to my confusion To add to the frustration I don't need it So shed your pain while I sit in silence As you bleed your deepest feelings here Quakes may rattle you, but I'll be your sky Winds may twist around you, but I'll be your clouds Just a little bit Just a little bit A little more information To add to my confusion To add to the frustration I don't need it No, I don't need it He woke up next to her, his head against her head His hand upon her breast, he knew today meant death He kissed her on the cheek, and then on her lips Thought to himself "It's the last time I'll do this" Put on a suit, pressed and clean He brushed his hair, grabbed his keys Then he headed out to the morning air With an anticipation no man could bear The air was heavy, he could feel it in his lungs With every step he took, a prayer rolled off his tongue They were prayers of forgiveness, and prayers of praise And his actions a gift for a god without a name Just a little bit Just a little bit A little more information To add to my confusion To add to the frustration I don't need it No, I don't need it 08. Stamp Of Origin: Ocean Meets Bay Music by dredg Lyrics by Gavin Hayes
I am not the one to blame
We are all part of the problem Damper your complaints We are all We're all to blame 09. Saviour Music by dredg Lyrics by Gavin Hayes
It makes me wish I was a banger
I'd come and retaliate I tend to avoid impulsive gangster attitudes 'Cause they will blind you It's gonna eat you up It's gonna drag you down Gonna get all that you ask for Affected many lives Left a void so wide Gonna get all that you want Looking for a saviour Not one who saves Been looking for a saviour One to retaliate There's no need for forgiveness It's already said and done But don't let revenge consume and take hold of you Cause it will blind you It's gonna eat him up It's gonna drag him down He's gonna get all that he asked for Affected many lives Left a void so wide Gonna get all that he wants Looking for a saviour Not one who saves Been looking for a saviour One to retaliate Open up You affected many lives You left a void so wide Gonna get all that you ask for It's gonna eat you up It's gonna drag you down You're gonna get all that you want Looking for a saviour Not one who saves Been looking for a saviour One to retaliate You've sworn to retaliate One to retaliate Open up 10. R U O K? Music by dredg Lyrics by Gavin Hayes
Are you okay
11. I Don't Know Music by dredg Lyrics by Gavin Hayes
Well I've been absorbing mediocrity
Been hollowed by uncertainty I've taken all of my beliefs and given 'em up 'Cause there's no guarantee of a god or longevity Admit you don't know anything and give it up Singing, I don't know if I've been reborn Lived a past life Suffered in another time I don't know Give it up Well I don't know what to believe anymore But every now and then I feel a moment of awakening But then it's gone, then it's gone, then it's gone I'm blanketed by the warmth of ignorance Singing, I don't know if I've been reborn Lived a past life Suffered in another time I don't know If I'll go somewhere special when I die If I'll go somewhere special when I die So I'll just go on living my way There's a strength in duality, penetrate mentality Give it up, give it up I've learned from casualty, don't have faith in anything Give it up, give it up Singing, I don't know, no, I'll never know I'm giving up, giving up Singing, I don't know if I've been reborn Lived a past life Suffered in another time No, I don't know If I'll go somewhere special when I die If I'll go somewhere special when I die So I'll just go on living my way 12. Mourning This Morning Music by dredg Lyrics by Gavin Hayes
We'll be mourning this morning
There is no need to complain 'Cause we've been ignoring this warning There is no pleasure without this pain We're drawn together by accident We'll be forever with these words And melodies, they'll guide us through this speck in time We're trying to get the missed attempts We are forever with these words And memories, they'll guide us through this night We're getting older, older, older Another day, another rut Along the highways faults We sat and watched him, the saddened watchmen He's all alone We're drawn together by accident We'll be forever with these words And melodies, they'll guide us through this speck in time We're trying to get the missed attempts We are forever with these words And memories, they'll guide us through this night We're getting older, older, older But it's not over, over 'Cause this all, all you'll ever get Don't forget that, don't forget that No, don't forget that 'Cause this all, all you'll ever get Don't forget that It's your one and only chance Go this far On your own We'll be mourning this morning We'll be mourning this morning 'Cause we've been ignoring this warning all along We're getting older, older, older 13. Stamp Of Origin: Take A Look Around Music by dredg Lyrics by Gavin Hayes
Take a look around
All things green and brown They are here to stay The people walking by Buildings built so high They'll be gone some day A piercing sound so loud Takes over the crowd Watch them run away Objects in the sky Blocking all the light Total disarray What a shame Take a look around Everything you've found Will be gone someday 15. Cartoon Showroom Music by dredg Lyrics by Gavin Hayes
I'm gonna miss your ways
Your sin, your smell, your smile In anxious attempt to let you know Dancing on the roof Of some cartoon showroom But in an instant I'd give it all right back So keep moving onward Run through that open door Consuming knowledge Wormhole through times before Can't you hear their voices crying Can't you hear their hearts breaking There is only so much we can do Only so much can be shown to you The rest is your choice It's your choice It's your choice When I close my eyes I see two faces above me One to my left, one to my right I took you under Under my wing to shadow It never did bother me to hide you from the light So keep moving onward Run through that open door Consuming knowledge Wormhole through times before Can't you hear their voices crying Can't you hear their hearts breaking There is only so much we can do Only so much can be shown to you The rest is your choice It's your choice It's your choice So keep moving onward Run through that open door So keep moving onward 16. Quotes Music by dredg Lyrics by Gavin Hayes
There's a way
A way to get out of here To escape these storms and find some shelter To rid of your darkness To rid of your boredom There's somewhere Somewhere that you can go It's obvious, well it's apparent It's right in front of you So reach out and take it And just let go Our sobriety will diminish Discriminate we fade slow, fade slow These drugs will expand us United we will grow Let go, let go There's a way A way to squash all of your fears When everyone around you seems to be a stranger You feel their eyes upon you Your hearing their thoughts As they walk away Their voice grows louder Illusions illuminate While your delusions dictate your next move You're bound by deception and a misled direction So just let go Our sobriety will diminish Discriminate we fade slow, fade slow These drugs will expand us United we will grow Let go, let go There's a way A way out of here So just let go Our sobriety will diminish Discriminate we fade slow, fade slow These drugs will expand us United we will grow Let go, let go 18. Stamp Of Origin: Horizon Music by dredg Lyrics by Gavin Hayes
Sitting in the sand, watch the tide roll up
Take a deep breath in as your past fades out Let everything else just fade into the horizon When the planet stops spinning and the music stops Take a deep breath in, let your life fade out With everything else you'll fade into the horizon "I'll never leave this place, where I was born" "I need a little more information to add to this confusion" "These delusions, they aren't meant to justify the things you do" "Thankfully, I haven't been taken very seriously" "Keep moving onward, keep moving onward" "I don't know if I've been reborn, or lived a past life, suffered in another time" "I'm gathering the pebbles, I need to drink from the well" "We are all part of the problem" "Just let go, just let go, just let go, just let go" "Into the horizon, let everything else just fade into the horizon" "Just let go" |
