Knock me out and put a stone on my head
Or throw me on the tracks where the steel can kill me quick The sound of emergency is stapling a fright upon their ears I'm feeling surrounded I'm feeling the slap of one thousand shit-brains Behold, my dark intentions rising from below Beauty Disgusting blood Fatal wounds of the last emotion All will pay the price Now is the time that we separate our realities Stopping a heart that beats inside the meddling Correcting moments lost by living in the here and now You're on the fucking block Tell me any way I can relate now before the generation dies Time keeps moving faster and faster, And I can take the full step in killing the generation Beauty Disgusting blood Fatal wounds of the last emotion All will pay the price Get off the fucking building I'll send 'em sinking into the fires of fate Every word is like a shotgun shell so burn inside my hell I'll drown before the fucking ship hits the ocean floor and thank God I'm not alive to see the slack-jawed generation spread its fucking seed Tell me any way I can relate now before the generation dies Time keeps moving faster and faster, and I can take the full step in killing the generation Beauty Disgusting blood Fatal wounds of the last emotion All will pay the price Pouring sludge into the mouth They feed and I can't stand the stench of it I didn't see the first and I sure won't see the last But something has gotta give Pouring sludge into the mouth They feed and I can't stand the stench of it I didn't see the first and I sure won't see the last It would put a smile on my face just to take that breath away Beauty Disgusting blood Fatal wounds of the last emotion All will pay the price 02. Motormouth Music & lyrics by Periphery
Tell me, mannequin what brings you to move?
Is it all of the colors in the magazine? Following sucks Paint your face now pose and filter the mood Give it all you've got You're just a click away from the fame now Eat shit, motormouth Swallow all of it down You're pretty when you put the face on And when you shut that mouth Those chattering teeth lose my sympathy Got a lot to say? You've gotta leave it out of the game you play Nothing you say holds any value It weaves through the ears like a worm Searching for light of the masses Motormouth, swallow down shit like you know how Swallow and shut up Motormouth, swallow down shit like you know how Swallow and shut up Give it all you've got You're just a click away from the fame Eat shit, motormouth Swallow all of it down You're pretty when you put the face on And when you shut that mouth Those chattering teeth lose my sympathy Got a lot to say? You've gotta leave it out of the game you play Only a conscience can stop me from beating you in Not on the side of the fuck-stain you leave on the earth I may not be the force constricting sin But you defile this planet There's shit in your grin No way I can end this screaming alone No way we can stop this unless we choose to grow What will they find, digging around in that oh so empty mind? 03. Marigold Music & lyrics by Periphery
Latched to this life like a death-grip
We're satisfied with the mundane and keeping out of sight But still we are young I'll stare the angels down, Keep them in the back room, Shut the door and let go Now we stare at the grave cold and paralyzed Pushing daisies while we still feel the sunshine We are young Slip through the marigolds and please our damaged souls This place is holding me Jump through the rope, let's make it credible When blood is all we see, life is impossible Death is coming 'round like a hurricane swirling We're on the clock and the needle is turning The misery is killing me slowly Give me a spine to work it out You're just another one wandering aimlessly until the grave The signs of the times are upon us all We're bleeding for tomorrow Sucking on the mother's dead tit of sorrow It's allright, we'll learn it all before we go Snapped by the neck as we follow Chin up, now tighten the rope Leave it all hollow This place is holding me Jump through the rope, let's make it credible When blood is all we see, life is impossible Death is coming 'round like a hurricane swirling We're on the clock and the needle is turning fast The misery is killing me slowly Give me a spine to work it out No funeral No pyre left burning This body is dust in the wind that's hurling past The misery is killing me slowly Give me a spine to work it out This place is holding me Jump through the rope, let's make it credible When blood is all we see, life is impossible Death is coming 'round like a hurricane swirling We're on the clock and the needle is turning fast The misery is killing me slowly Give me a spine to work it out No funeral No pyre left burning This body is dust in the wind that's hurling past The misery is killing me slowly Give me a spine to work it out 04. The Way The News Goes... Music & lyrics by Periphery
Wake up
As I stumble into a blinding light Deeper breaths enough to kill the highest highs Take one good look and I'm at the lowest low again Down at the bottom, but I'm fine Tears march to lullabies and beat me like a drum It's not your average fucking misery This heart has chords, but not a single one sounds new or fun Hit strings in dissonance Pick on and on Show them how to fly away when this world is torn If you feel like dying, lose that forever You're shining and it shows Living through the highest highs You're shining and it shows Down at the bottom, but I'm fine I try to feed it, but it still wants more Give me that feeling that I'm looking for Show them how to fly away when this world is torn If you feel like dying, lose that forever You're shining and it shows Wake up As I stumble into a blinding light Deeper breaths enough to kill the highest highs Take one look and I'm at the lowest low again At the bottom, but I'm fine At the bottom, but it's all so wrong Tears march to lullabies and beat me like a drum It's not your average fucking misery This heart has chords, but not a single one sounds new or fun So long to sanity For now that's how it goes 05. Remain Indoors Music & lyrics by Periphery
Beauty is but a visual in fantasy
Mistakes are only real when you slip out of it Beauty is but a visual in fantasy Mistakes are only real when you become the mess Fall back on the cloud, man when there's nothing new left to do And there's not a single thought in the cross-hairs of your mind Stop shouting from a mountain Maybe sing a tune from within you We've gotta move to the meadows from the mire This is a view from outer tunnel-vision I'm holding position This is a view from outer tunnel-vision Now let go of your senses and let go of your time We already know the message is gold Can't we lighten the stride? No reflection shows the dark on our side We already know the message is gold Can't we lighten the stride? Beauty is but a visual in fantasy Mistakes are only real when you slip out of it Beauty is but a visual in fantasy Mistakes are only real when you become the mess Now let go of your senses and let go of your time We already know that the message is gold Can't we lighten the stride? No reflection shows the dark on our side We already know the fucking message is gold So let's lighten the stride You can follow with me Or keep walking against me It doesn't fucking matter, because I tried You can follow with me Or keep walking against me It doesn't make a goddamn difference Now let go of your senses and let go of your time We already know the message is gold Can't we lighten the stride? No reflection shows the dark on our side We already know the message is gold Can't we lighten the stride? This is a view from outer tunnel-vision I'm holding position This is a view from outer tunnel-vision 06. Habitual Line-Stepper Music & lyrics by Periphery
We walked the line
Living in a state of mind controlled by a tyrant Mistakes burn Never did he learn to back off and spit that shit I'm that motherfucker picking in your old brain and stealing sleep Take the dive or keep it alive? Now it's on you Your tower is falling down into a black hole Take it away Take it away now The agony is crumbling over your soul Take it away Take it away now I'd like to take the prize of your high and jam it deep down your throat They're calling for the stage to take their breath away You were the barricading man They're calling for the stage to give everything away You were the barricading man Your tower is falling down into a black hole Take it away Take it away now The agony is crumbling over your soul Take it away Take it away now Lost in the violent throes of this separation Done waiting on pleasant times They never arrived Lost in the violent throes of this separation Know what you're waiting for? Watch as they burn your home I felt insane, but It's finally come home to me... My dear brain, hate Feel hate Let go of all your fear They're calling for the stage to take their breath away You were the barricading man They're calling for the stage to give everything away You were the barricading man Show us the way Your tower is falling down into the hole The agony is pouring over your damn soul Was there a way to be a better man and stay? Was there a way? We'll never know Show us the way Was there a way to be a better man and stay? Was there a way? We'll never know 07. Flatline Music & lyrics by Periphery
Your eyes judge like a jury locked in a trial
No respect for the odd and innocent Guilty Now shut the doors and then open fire Some fail to make the connection and lose beauty in a mound of rejection Can't we understand that no life is out of our hands? Suffocation and the fear of living is setting in, so let go before he lets go Patience is wearing thin and leaving him so let go, before he lets go of this life I wonder what goes on before he lets go He says: Send an angel to pull me from the hell below This weight is far too much to own and this body doesn't feel like home Send an angel I feel I'm dying all alone So lift me up or let me go Because this body doesn't feel like home This body doesn't feel like home Love feels far away The lack of motivation keeps his soul from bettering his own life Now he's next level with a bottle and a blade Retreating it his own way Suffocation and the fear of living is setting in So let go before he lets go Patience is wearing thin and leaving him so let go Before he lets go of this life I wonder what goes on behind those bloodshot eyes I wonder what goes on before he lets go He says: Send an angel to pull me from the hell below This weight is far too much to own and this body doesn't feel like home Send an angel I feel I'm dying all alone So lift me up or let me go, because this body doesn't feel like home Sleep now and carry on into the black of the night Sleep now and you'll be on your way There's another one moving on from the flatline Sleep now and carry on into the black of the night Sleep now and you'll be on your way There's another one moving on from the flatline Slip into the fray Slip between the night and day Sleep now and carry on into the black of the night At peace with everything, but it doesn't make it right There's another one moving on from the flatline Sleep now and carry on into the black of the night At peace with everything, but it doesn't make it right There's another one moving on from the flatline 08. Absolomb Music & lyrics by Periphery
Reputations made
I failed to save The cold I seek is all I'll feel Today I'm selling mine after all Watch it all fade away to gray I sold it to rule the world If only I could rescue you Cleaning up the mess we've made It's not the same without your love Do you care at all? I don't see a difference Is this love at all? We stayed so close in this life at one time Now I watch as you fade away Behind the wall of hate inside your mind Will we meet again? I'll be waiting beyond the edge Forever frozen Now time stops again Revelation I've found that it's all gone The absence within us grows Illuminate the way we choose to flow Do you care at all? I don't see a difference Is this a love at all? I hold one last feeling of hope Our paths will meet again Beyond the edge Forever frozen Time stops now 09. Catch Fire Music & lyrics by Periphery
Lock eyes like we're staring down the barrel of a shotgun
Appear so quickly Leave as swiftly as you came Sometimes I wish I had the measure of a wise man But I set the mood, plant the tomb and bury all the bones within It sure is something when we all catch fire Bodies burning like the sunrise Stay with me, I'll show you paradise It feels so right Give me that peace of mind and I'll give you everything Just know it feels so good that I could die and be alright Alive We breathe when everthing is as it seems But is there something much more? Underneath the sheets, beneath the skin There's a beauty waiting to be adored We're cradled in the thick of it, but too ignorant to give a shit We set the mood, we plant the tomb and bury all the bones within Don't keep me hanging from the mouth It sure is something when we all catch fire Bodies burning like the sunrise Stay with me, I'll show you paradise It feels so right Give me that peace of mind and I'll give you everything Just know it feels so good that I could die and join the stars Give me that peace of mind and I'll give you everything Stay with me, I'll show you paradise It feels so right We exist in this moment only to fly Just stay with me Twisting love as we hold it on the inside Just stay with me It sure is something when we all catch fire Bodies burning like the sunrise Stay with me, I'll show you paradise It feels so right Give me that peace of mind and I'll give you everything Just know it feels so good that I could die and join the stars Give me that peace of mind and I'll give you everything Stay with me, I'll show you paradise It feels so right 10. Prayer Position Music & lyrics by Periphery
Another day pulls me down to my knees and
Holds the gun to my fucking head Can't feel a thing Prayer position holding my life above the muck Oh god, I'm speaking in swirling bowls Now the walls are laughing in silence I'm spiraling down to the floor Can't feel a thing When will it end? When is it over? When can I live? The bar is held down on my throat Kicking and screaming, I live this life down in a hole Take away misery tomorrow Shine a light to end this dimming glow Take away misery tomorrow Shine a light to end this dimming glow The day is gone Now turns the night Our bodies glow ever so bright The crash is done We reach new highs Our bodies glow ever so bright Venture through these eyes and lose all time Scratch the itch and murder the body for pleasure Sparking it up Breathing the fire we crave Guzzle it down Feeling the sparkle together Ante it up and blow me away for the high Let's go What are we doing and where have the morals all gone? Now is the time This is the feeling we treasure You won't remember, but godamnit it's fine The bar is held down on my throat Kicking and screaming, I live this life down in a hole Take away misery tomorrow Shine a light and end this dimming glow Take away misery tomorrow Shine a light to end this dimming glow Stomp my head, throw it down in a hole Stomp on my heart Let's go 11. Lune Music & lyrics by Periphery
Snow coming down now like December
Burning up in the summer rays But I'm not stumbling like a pretender Medicine is flowing through my veins Heavy eyes, but the tongue won't stutter Mouths are moving and this heart is still fluttering I'm on my own You found me in the cold Now I am wrapped within the warmth of your touch There's never a moment that I let slip by in your eyes Are we growing old and am I melting in the rays of this love? Never ever gonna let you go Don't let go Slow it down now I cannot remember why I let them chew on my brain They've come and left this town in smoldering embers But, my dear I'll die in your rain Heavy eyes, but the tongue won't stutter Mouths are moving and this heart is still fluttering I'm on my own You found me in the cold Now I am wrapped within the warmth of your touch There's never a moment that I let slip by in your eyes Are we growing old and am I melting in the rays of this love? Never ever gonna let you go Don't let go Do you feel the love? Yes I feel the love Taste it, hold it, feel it, never let it go Do you feel the love? Yes I feel the love Do you feel the love? Yes I feel the love Taste it, hold it, feel it, never let it go Do you feel the love? Yes I feel the love Don't let it go |
