Re: Album Discussion: The Pariah, The Parrot, The Delusion

And people start applying all over the place... too bad none of them know how to follow directions.

Thanks for those, but there are many lines that are incorrect. We've got a lyric sheet that should be going up soon.

I love Dino on that track. The straight 16ths on the ride just keep that song going.

Re: Album Discussion: The Pariah, The Parrot, The Delusion

here's my lyrics sheet. I know this is going to be another huge post. but whatever. think mine are slightly closer to what Brock will be putting up, and slightly more complete than Eriks.

The Pariah, The Parrot, The Delusion:

Pariah:

Da-da-da-de-da-da-da-do-da-da-do-da

To sacrifice ones self never really made sense to me
Cause life is really the only and last gift we’ve all receive.
Some of them waste it in the name of something that you can’t see.
Continually defeats the purpose of that, something creating.

Ohh delusions aren’t to justify the things you do.
Ohh delusions never really qualified, qualified as an excuse.

As he approached the city center with the sky line in view
There was nothing left to contemplate, he knew he must follow through
With the plan certified by faith and a plan written in death.
At that moment, this was it, he took his last breath.

Oh delusions aren’t to justify the things you do.
Ohhh, 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
No more chaos, no more chaos, no more stress
No more diction, no more diction, no more mess
No more attitudes, no more swollen heads
No more greed, no more bleeding from the hand.
No more whining, no more blaming other men.
Realize it’s your own fault.

Da-da-da-de-da-da-da-do-da-da-do-da

Ireland:

“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.”
~
“Where is you’re intrigue and interest?
You don’t have any questions or wonders?”
~
“Why would I leave this place when I’m comfortable right here,
every thing 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
There’s really nothing else to explore
There’s nothing more, there’s nothing more.”

Ahhh, ahhh, ahhh
Ohhh, Ohhh, Ohh

“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
There’s really nothing else to explore
There’s nothing more, there’s nothing more.”

Stamp Of Origin: Pessimistic

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, it won’t go away.
It won’t go away.




Light-switch:

Was put in a round room,
And told to sit in the corner
While they wash my brain with a dirty rag
Was given a hammer and told to build a fortress
With walls impossible to penetrate

But 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 the foundation may seem
Everything is crashing down on me.
With paper cuts on fingertips, blackened eyes, and broken lips.
Forever wounded. It’s hard to tell.

But you’re the only thing I need
Whether I fail or succeed
Within my blindness you are all I see.
The morning fog as it burns away
A predators eye without it’s prey
Maybe now you will understand

I won’t quit on you,
No, I won’t I quit on you both
I won’t let it in, ever, ever, ever…

Gathering Pebbles:

Wait for me, you’re on to something maybe
There’s no need to play catch up, to play catch up.
Wait for me, you’re on to something maybe
There’s no need to play catch, up to play catch up.

We’re casually, casually walking through life without a worry,
Worried it’s effects will show, so now I’m gathering,
gathering the pebbles I will need to drink from the well.

So thirsty, so thirsty

Wait for me, I am not very far behind
So wait for me, I’m still chasing you, ohh.
Wait for me, 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 a hillside,
Its wet and steep, It’s wet and steep.

Wait for me, I am not very far behind
So wait for me, I’m still chasing you, ohh.
Wait for me, I am not very far behind
So wait for me, I’m still chasing you ohh,

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, running over broken glass.
There is no question now, that I will catch up
will catch up, will catch up, will catch up,
will catch up, will catch up, will catch up,
will catch up, will catch up, will catch up,
will catch up, will catch up, will catch up,
will catch up, will catch up, will catch up,

OHHH-AHHH-OHHHHH

Information:

You’re suffering, 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 lung.

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
Well, I don’t need it.

So shed your pain,
I’ll 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 the suit, pressed and clean
He brushed his hair, grabbed his keys
And he headed out to the morning air
With an anticipation that 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.

Wooooh~ WoooH~ Woooaaahhoohh

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.

Wooooh~ WoooH~ Woooaaahhoohh






Stamp Of Origin: Ocean Meets Bay:

I am not the one to blame,
We are all part of the problem.
Damper your complaints,
We are all, we’re all to…

Saviour:

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
Affecting many lives
Left a void so wide
Gonna get all that you want

Looking for a saviour,
Not one who saves.
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 asks for
Affecting many lives
Left a void so wide
Gonna get all that he wants.

Looking for a saviour,
Not one who saves.
Looking for a saviour,
One to retaliate.

Open up, Open up, Open up.

Affecting many lives,
Left a void so wide
Gonna get all that you ask for
It’s gonna eat you up
It’s gonna drag you down
Gonna get all that you want.

Looking for a saviour,
Not one who saves.
Looking for a saviour,
One to retaliate.

Yes, one to retaliate, one to retaliate.

Open up, Open up, Open up.

R U O K:

~Instrumental~

I Don’t Know:

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
Something in another time
I don’t know.
Singing, I don’t know
If I’ve been reborn,
Lived a past life
Something 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
Something in another time
I don’t know. Singing, I don’t know
If I’ve been reborn,
Lived a past life
Something 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’ll give it up.
Singing, I don’t know
If I’ve been reborn,
Lived a past life
Something 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.

Mourning This Morning:

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 trying to get by accident
We’ll be forever with these words
And melodies, they’ll guide us through the second time.
We’re trying to get the missed attempt
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 floors
We sat and watched him
The silent watchman was all alone.

We’re trying to get by accident
We’ll be forever with these words
And melodies, they’ll guide us through the second 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.
You’ve got 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.

Stamp Of Origin: Take A Look Around

Take a look around, all things green and brown are here to stay.
The people walking by, buildings built so high will be gone someday.
A piercing sound so loud, takes over the crowd, watch them run away.
Objects in the sky blacken all the light, total disarray.

What a show, what a show.

Take a look around, everything you’ve found will be gone one day.

Long Days And Vague Clues:

~Instrumental~





Cartoon Showroom:

I’m gonna miss your ways
Your sin, your smell, you smile
An 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
So keep moving onward
So keep moving onward
So keep moving onward
So keep moving onward
So keep moving onward
So keep moving onward.

Quotes:

There’s a way, a way to get out of here
To escape these storms and find some shelter
To rid your darkness, to rid your boredom

There’s somewhere, somewhere that you can go
It’s obvious, well? 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, way to squash all of your fears
When everyone around you seems to be a stranger.
You feel their eyes upon you, you’re hearing their thoughts
As they walk away, the voice grows louder
Illusions illuminate, wild illusions dictate your next move.
You’re bound by deception, and a mislead direction.

So just let go
Our sobriety will dimish
Discriminate, we fade slow, fade slow
These drugs will expand us, united we will grow.
Let go, let go, let go.

There’s a way, a way out of here.
There’s a way, a way out of here.

ooooOOOOO…

So just let go
Our sobriety will diminish
Discriminate, we fade slow, fade slow
These drugs will expend us, united we will grow.
Let go, let go, let go



Down To The Cellar:

~Instrumental~

Horizon:

Sitting in the sand
Watch the tide roll up.
Take a deep breath in as your past fades up
Letting 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.

~spoken word, radio transmission~

I’ll never leave this place
The place where I was born

I need a little more information to add to this confusion

The delusions they offer to justify the things they do.

Thankfully I haven’t been taken very seriously

Keep moving forward
Keep moving onward

I don’t know if I’ve been reborn
Lived a past life.
Something in another time.

Gathering the pebbles I need to drink from this well

We are all part of this problem

Just let go, just let go,
Just let go just let go

Re: Album Discussion: The Pariah, The Parrot, The Delusion

this whole album runs together very well.

pariah, lightswitch, long days and vague clues and cartoon showroom are probably my favorite songs on the album....but unlike catch, i want to listen to this thing all the way through instead of hitting up just the songs i like the most.
