The
Process
album
(These lyrics are what I think the band is singing in the song)
The
Process
all my life
this surreal
is it where it should be
you still wear those ideas
no one listens;
there's somethin' missin'
armageddon, i'll die for certain
i know you got there
i know for certain
don't hesitate,
remember the wait, we all make mistakes
of this too much disinfume (???)
all my life
this surreal
is it where it should be
you still wear those ideas
no one listens;
there's somethin' missin'
armageddon, i'll die for certain
i know you got there
i know for certain
don't hesitate,
remember the wait, we all make mistakes
of this too much disinfume (???)
The
Specialist
i guess these
moments are few
is that predictable?
is that the marvelous truth?
is that confessional?
wise, to the
brilliant idea
operate, loathing and fear
and so it
seems it's just another idea
(now that you're someplace away from here)
does it exist or belong anywhere here
is it the case, is it the place of where you are
i guess these
moments are few
is that predictable?
is that the marvelous truth?
is that confessional?
wise, to the
brilliant idea
operate, loathing and fear
and so it
seems it's just another idea
(now that you're someplace away from here)
does it exist or belong anywhere here
is it the case, is it the place of where you are
that way,
i'm moving sideways, as mad as always
you're thinking that place, you're thinking nothing
nothing is one thing, one thing i hope for
i guess it's that place where you are
as where you are
i met you
someplace as where you are
i met you someplace as where you are
A
Portrait
i'm a liar,
i know what i'm doin'
what's the sense in the senseless pursuin'
give me one step, this complication
one degree of this fine separation
i'm a liar,
i know what i'm doin'
i believe in this senseless pursuin'
persue this, i know i will catch it
happiness is a long way to catch that fate
i know where you can achieve it
you're a liar, but you can't believe it
i can't explain,
you can't explain
i discern, nowhere's the same
in light
but i would
give anything
between us and over
but where's the same?
don't build infinity
i know what you're doin'
these things are limited in light
i would give anything
between us and over
you tell me anything
but would
it be right
to ascertain as if we were thinking the same?
i reverse your name
it's always the same
i, i would give anything
between us and over
you tell me anything
but would it be right
don't build infinity
i know what you're doin'
don't be so over-sure, my friend
reverse your
name
it's always the same
i want to ascertain
as if we were thinking the same
i, i would give anything
between us and over
you tell me anything
but would it be right
these things are limited
to know what you're doin'
you build infinity, but i'd build light
Avalanche
oh, where'd
ya go?
we're fine, must have been
up half the night
habitat
carry weight avalanche
i
die
oh, where'd
ya go?
we're fine, must have been
up half the night
habitat
carry weight avalanche
i
died
out on the
street did
you once compete
in that space
saving face
carry weight
avalanche
i
died
The
Cleaner
planning the
ways to your new place
following your call
silent remains of those old ways
they're cleaning that old school
look in their
eyes, they are never
wonderful spectacle
i can't believe you're still livin'
i believe anythin'
planning the
ways to your new place
following your call
silent remains of those old ways
you're cleaning that old school
look in their
eyes, they are never
wonderful spectacle
i can't believe you're still livin'
i'd believe anythin'
Black
Metal Figure
don't think
twice
i'll be over complex thoughts that idolize
concern that way
i believe in idle thoughts that don't disdain
for don't ask twice
i believe you don't bereave these violent times
for all this thinkin' about it
i'll be honest, i decide to actualize
all this, it is less than too soon
complex along the way
i noticed that somethin' was missin'
that never was yours to take
don't think
twice
i believe in idle thoughts that actualize
for i'll say the second is missin'
oh you, could you avoid the complex attention
is it too soon, or too late, to mention
i haven't the words
don't ask
twice
i believe you don't bereave these violent times
The
Conference
i know that
the evening was tragic
well from the place it has started
limited cracks, the faces are cold
everyone else
is revealing
sides that are not so appealing
and i think that the answer is no
Kinetic
Factory
four scales
of this disaster
know what i know, what it means
four ways of leaving faster
know what i know, what it breeds
am i the only
one who has an acid tongue
and the words that won't retreat
prophetic in denial
fumbles through the task but never leaves
four scales
of operettas
holding the words as it rings
these days that fall between us
folding the weight of the fields
am i the only
one who has an acid tongue
and the words that won't retreat
prophetic in denial
fumbles through the task but never leaves
i'll try in
a different disguise
i know what, i know what it means
in this kinetic factory
all this commonplace
am i the only
one who has an acid tongue
and the words that won't retreat
keeping it alive, fumble through the arid factory
are we out of town, tell me not to talk
but everything is real
keeping it alive, the home resorts to dive
at last it's real
i'll try in different disguise
but i know what it means
in this kinetic factory
all this commonplace
Great
Escapes
runnin' from
a dark cloud i find you, i find you
so we start runnin' faster, runnin', runnin' faster
runnin', runnin', runnin'
if i wait
another minute i could be wrong
if i wait another minute i'll change my mind
i can't wait another minute
cuz i don't want to be in this place anymore
god i can't stand this place anymore
sunshine great
escape
sunshine great escape
sunshine great
escape
sunshine great escape
Istanbul
and The Punishing Heart
i walk away,
and there's nothing i can do
i need strength, but the net has fallen through
that holds me up in separation
that breathes your kiss that i imagine
there's nothing i can do, there's nothing that i can do
there's nothing that i can do
to help me, oh yeah
the soft turkish
moon
how i wish i were holding you
sentiments gone
so lie back i can't see through
to a dark, dark bed in instanbul again
to the black, black stench of disconnecting
there's nothing i can do, there's nothing that i can do
there's nothing that i can do
to help me, oh yeah
please step
on my heart (??)
back on my heart beat down (??)
light up my wings and set me on fire
?????
fire! fire!
fire! fire! fire!
Baluchistan
(i'm not sure how well i did figuring this one out)
baluchistan
pakistan
ta calla istaya ta glee (???????)
the blackened teeth, and jingle bells
sip the tea it's scorcy (??)
what were you doing down there?
hanging off the bids of the telegram
it's a conquered river with a ceiling fan
well allah's north, old fashioned gums
sticks like mud across the desert
and all of it old fashioned trees
stare at their eyes they have nothing
don't go out tonight
the campfire's burn, but they're not so bright
allah! and autumn dischord isn't running right
no! what did
i tell you?
frankincense
and camel tongues
shredded skins lay bleeding
women blush through the dust
in black cages screaming
they're locked up inside
musn't breed for another night
behind the veil is a shells life
noooooooooo!
December
am i too light?
inconsequential
never to be
i packed everything
stay away
you learn
to fight
but never meant to
but on the way home
don't break anything
stay away
is that the
dealings now
i will be home soon
never to be aware
i'd wait for you, i'd wait for you
am i too light?
inconsequential
never to be
i packed everything
stay away
you learn
to fight
but never meant to
but on the way home
don't break everything
stay away
is that the
dealings now
i will be home soon
never to be aware
i'd wait for you, i'd wait for you
i'd wait for you, i'd wait for you
i'd wait for you, i'd wait for you
The
Waiting
been to waste
can't be erased
the best intents and possibilites
the look in your eyes
the look in your face
the best intentions are never misplaced
impatient thoughts you built from trying
listen to men till where it stops
in a way it's getting better
in a way, it couldn't not
been to waste
can't be erased
the best intents and possibilities
the look in your eyes
the look in your face
the best intentions are never misplaced
all day long
you crave the possibilities
in a way, there are intentions that could never be misplaced
thoughts they are impatient, the sentiments can stop
in a way it's getting better
in a way, it couldn't not
Static
Plain
i believe
that i belong
innocence will carry on
i'm alone, that's how the story goes
heaven, heaven
feel it's call and catch it
i'm alone, that's how the story goes
i believe
you'll be watchin'
from your static plain
for i did somethin'
was nothing sacred
for it would never
be the same
