I burned out my eyes
I cut off my tongue I sealed them with all of the silver And now I have none You killed the life You took the diamond You killed the vine Death of the You own the darkness And taken my sight You buried the stars underground You've stolen the night You can run to the sea You can run to the forest You can hide But you'll never escape You've run out of lies You've run out of time You killed the life You took the diamond You killed the vine Death of the sun 02. Curl Of The Burl Music & lyrics by Mastodon
I killed a man cause he killed my goat
I put my hands around his throat He tried to reason with the sky and the clouds But it didn't matter, cause they can't hear a sound It's just the curl of the burl It's just the curl of the burl That's just the way of the world It's just the curl of the burl Splinters in my skin just like needles and pins I cut through the pine, love the feeling it gives But I'll never die, running through these streets I'm using my hands, cutting through the disease It's just the curl of the burl It's just the curl of the burl That's just the way of the world It's just the curl of the burl I feel powerless Chew it up, spit the rest I feel powerless Chew it up, spit the rest It's just the curl of the burl It's just the curl of the burl That's just the way of the world It's just the curl of the burl 03. Blasteroid Music & lyrics by Mastodon
Change your hair
Change your clothes I'll rearrange your face for you If you can breathe When I am through I'll give it all right back to you I wanna drink some fucking blood I wanna break some fucking glass I wanna squeeze you till you're inside out I want it all Change your name Change your eyes Become the one who I despise If you are sad And need to cry Then turn around and go outside I wanna drink some fucking blood I wanna break some fucking glass I wanna squeeze you till you're inside out I want it all 04. Stargasm Music & lyrics by Mastodon
The temple of bodies
A building with souls Given the cosmos As we let go As we let go Locked in a dance Surrounding the moon This far from the clouds Stargasm flows Stargasm Lead us by horses On the way to our graves Father the owl It is your faith It is your faith Awake in the moment Awaken the heart Look to the spirits Stargasm glows Stargasm And then we shift into overdrive But you're not here And your legs and the stars collide You're on fire You're on fire You're on fire Henged from the solstice Bohemian grave Flesh lies the altar As we let go As we let go Glasses are empty The owl has flown Sever relation Like you didn't know Like you didn't know And then we shift into overdrive But you're not here And your legs and the stars collide You're on fire You're on fire You're on fire 05. Octopus Has No Friends Music & lyrics by Mastodon
To tempt the fool into the mine
Let loose the snake with antidote Take the hand Guide the way Far away Find the truth Always Always I'm on my way back home I'm on my way back home I see your face inside the smoke It's hard to scream and nice to choke Take the hand Guide the way Far away Find the truth Always Always I'm on my way back home I'm on my way back home Let's rest awhile inside the cave Don't cry you'll see that we'll be safe Take the hand Guide the way Far away Find the truth Always Always Take your heart into your hand Always Take your heart into your hand Always I'm on my way back home I'm on my way back home 06. All The Heavy Lifting Music & lyrics by Mastodon
Lift you up again
Give you to the trees All sound and visions are What they ask of me Let's run fast through the fields Over mountaintops Let's swim through ocean water And we'll never stop Just close your eyes And pretend that everything's fine Just close your eyes I'll tell you when Can you show me Where to find the stream I've been told before That the water's clean Will you come with me Two of us can drink Move quick we've got to hurry There's no time to think Just close your eyes And pretend that everything's fine Just close your eyes I'll tell you when We didn't come this far Just to turn around We didn't come this far Just to run away Just ahead We will hear the sound The sound that gives us A brand new day Just close your eyes And pretend that everything's fine Just close your eyes I'll tell you when 07. The Hunter Music & lyrics by Mastodon
All the love I've shown
Given to the ones I've known All the love I make Is equal to the love I take All the life I've known Given to the life I've shown Along the way Free from it all Breathe in the darkest fall We laugh and cry through a brother's eyes for now Through fire embers glow Haunted I lift the stone Letting go your spirit flies All the love I've shown Given to the ones I've known All the love I make Is equal to the love I take All the life I've known Given to the life I've shown Along the way Free from it all Breathe in the darkest fall We laugh and cry through a brother's eyes for now Through fire embers glow Haunted I lift the stone Letting go your spirit flies His thorns are on the road His thorns are on the road In the morning light The sparrow flies When the moon devours us The planet dies Free from it all Breathe in the darkest fall We laugh and cry through a brother's eyes for now Through fire embers glow Haunted I lift the stone Letting go your spirit flies 08. Dry Bone Valley Music & lyrics by Mastodon
Head down running from the beast
Breakneck speed taking all my breath Black feet scraped and scarred and dripping blood Rain come down take me with your flood I came to and I was running from you Feel your breath on the back of my neck Where have I come to be Is this all that's left for me I wish that I was still there I want to keep on breathing Bulls roar loud Snakes move past my feet No teeth no hands set me free Bones start rattling 'round inside my head I don't know if I'm alive or dead Where have I come to be Is this all that's left for me I wish that I was still there I want to keep on breathing Dig deep kicking up rock and dirt and sand Out of this lifeless valley bones in hand Over these mountains to the seas of life Leave this desert for the sick and damned 09. Thickening Music & lyrics by Mastodon
With the lights down low
Wrapped up like a baby And your hair hangs long Surrounding my face Straight out of nowhere Buried deep inside my past Straight out of nowhere Hoping you'll be the last Love your warm embrace Hold me close don't let me go Nipple pink and cold Filled up with mother's milk Straight out of nowhere Buried deep inside my past Straight out of nowhere Hoping you'll be the last With the lights down low Wrapped up like a baby And your hair hangs long Surrounding my face Straight out of nowhere Buried deep inside my past Straight out of nowhere Hoping you'll be the last 10. Creature Lives Music & lyrics by Mastodon
I saw the creature fall
Into the swamp from which he spawned I heard them laugh and say They never liked him anyway I tried to talk to them To help you on your feet again They laughed and said to me The swamp is right where I should be The creature lives The creature lives The creature lives The creature lives 11. Spectrelight Music & lyrics by Mastodon, Scott Kelly
We trip the light
Firebird flies Burn your inside Given a lesson The path I've shown Follow all I know Into the spectrelight Into the afterlife It came from the ocean Gift of the sea Lava forms the stone Belief in power Believe the dream Trust your own truth Into the spectrelight Into the afterlife You listen through the light Tolling on the sea Barren eyes behind you Leave the shadows waking dreams Rising through the door Writhing with a knife Cut speech Cut light Cut chord and break the dawning wretch of silence Trust your own truth Souls of the fallen Death of the godhead Listen and breathe Into the spectrelight Into the afterlife 12. Bedazzled Fingernails Music & lyrics by Mastodon
Give and take
We are full of pride All is proved in time Lay me down Stand my ground Lay me down Stand my ground Taking a life I see it flash before my eyes Taking a life I see it flash before my eyes Rule by the head Endure test of time Plant the seed of mind Lay me down Stand my ground Lay me down Stand my ground Taking a life I see it flash before my eyes Taking a life I see it flash before my eyes 13. The Sparrow Music & lyrics by Mastodon
Pursue happiness with diligence
14. The Ruiner Music & lyrics by Mastodon
You take life
Give nothing back You need to return what you've stolen You need life To multiply Devour all that surrounds you Heavy weighs the crown Low hangs the head who wears it Destroyer Of all that's good We don't need a death that surrounds you The bolt strikes To infect We know your intentions are impure Heavy weighs the crown Low hangs the head who wears it Sickness can't kill this love Always alive in my heart Sickness can't kill this love Always alive in my heart Heavy weighs the crown Low hangs the head who wears it |
