Veiled in Cement

Catalyst words slip from her mouth.
Ideas battle concepts spitting up doubt.
Casual shrugs shot to the side,
Tailoring our compliments
in pauses we hide.
Calendar nouns replacing our thoughts,
Lingering verbs remind us
of what we're not.
She said yes,
as her knees point to go.
Oh, veiled in cement,
intentions don't show.
Coma induced with my head on the wall.
Sheets strangle my sleep away, replaying it all.
It's back and it's forth, unwilling to stop.
Immune to diplomacy, as I tap out, I'm shot.
I wanted a nod.
I wanted a smile.
What I got was not satisfactory,
now I'm steeping in denial.
Give me a word that's perfectly clear.
Slice through my sinews and bones,
embed it for me to hear.
Oh, oh.
She said yes,
as her knees point to go.
Oh, veiled in cement,
intentions don't show.
Intentions don't show. x 4
She said yes,
as her knees point to go.
Oh, veiled in cement,
intentions don't show.

I'VE GOT A CRUTCH
INSIDE OF ME
SPLIT DOWN MY SPINE
LET IT SEE
WHY I
SNAP BONES
OH I
SUPPOSE
DARKNESS IT HIDES
LET'S CALL IT OUT
SLEDGEHAMMERED FACE
DISEMBODIED CLOUT
WHY I
AGREE
OH I
DO SEE
FRACTURED LIMBS
WATERED EYES
MUDDLED BLOOD
FROM INSIDE
SIDEWAYS NOSE
HALF-BENT EAR
CROOKED NECK
MY VENEER
THESE PANGS THAT STING
I RIPPED THEM OUT
PUMP ON THE FLOOR
WRITE ABOUT
WHY I
BELIEVE
OH I
DECIEVE
A POOL OF WET
CLINGS TO YOUR BROW
HANDS CRY OUT
SOBS LACK SOUND
WHY I
DO BREATHE
OH I'M
RELIEVED
I WANTED NOTHING MORE
BUT YOU PUSHED ME THROUGH THAT DOOR
I WANTED NOTHING MORE
BUT YOU PUSHED AND YOU PUSHED AND YOU PUSHED
FRACTURED LIMBS
WATERED EYES
MUDDLED BLOOD
FROM INSIDE
SIDEWAYS NOSE
HALF-BENT EAR
CROOKED NECK
MY VENEER
SHE FELL INTO THE WATER
SHE'S NOT COMING UP
SHE FELL INTO THE WATER
SHE'S NOT COMING UP

Caution is a Word
03:43
|
|||
Candlelight before I met you
never had that much to say.
Shadows cast upon a figure
attached to fingers salty-grey.
We've got to leave ourselves alone.
I know we never will.
Caution is a word that's in disguise
and I hope it's something that you will find.
A collared shirt cracked the silence;
ruffled now, self aware.
Countered by a shift in vocal support.
Tethered to the back of his chair.
We've got to leave ourselves alone.
I know we never will.
Caution is a word that's in disguise
and I hope it's something that you will find.
Ah, ah, ah, ah x 4 (Be sure to sing in a very echo-y room)
(Head bang here)
We've got to leave ourselves alone.
I know we never will.
Caution is a word that's in disguise
and I hope it's something you will find.

Emergency Sounds
04:55
|

We're driving along,
knots crash through our hair.
Our faces twist and turn in ways
that physics can't share.
Sweat beads with plastic.
Sister sit next to me.
Oh Embrace me, oh and brace now.
Oh embrace me, oh embrace now.
Emergency sounds, loud now.
Metal it sings a song
when these lights hit
and shards go round and round.
I will stand right here and talk
'til these words calm you down.
And around, 'round we spun,
suspended in the air.
Life is still, I still remember
the tangles in your hair.
Stuck in the smell
of asphalt too hot.
We push and lean into the curves,
pull back as it stops.
Sweat beads with plastic.
Sister sit next to me.
Oh embrace me, oh embrace now.
Emergency sounds loud now.
Oh embrace me, oh and brace now.
Emergency sounds loud now.
Metal it sings a song. x 4
Hold tight. x 6
Embrace me and brace now.
She's feeling, oh nothing, she wants to keep her head down. x4
Oh down. Oh down. Oh. x 2
Metal it sings a song
when these lights hit
and shards go round and round.
I will stand right here and talk
'til these words calm you down.
And around, 'round we spun,
suspended in the air.
Life is still, I still remember
the tangles in your...
Metal it sings a song
when these lights hit
and shards go round and round.
I will stand right here and talk
'til these words calm you down.
And around, 'round we spun,
suspended in the air.
Life is still, I still remember
the tangles in your hair.

These vast efforts are repaid by the audience with growing fanatical support, both online and at our shows. We move the masses with sweat wherever we play. ... more
