Track Name: Building the Stone Again
Can't you see we're just building the stone again
The same as we. Back when the wall began
All as one, to stand alone is as none
Piled high stone to stone no where to run

Morning up another busy day
Pass the time just to hold your thoughts at bay
One is all and all's inane is the game
As they name you to ingrain you and refrain us one and the same

Sleep
Tell them only as one who abides to relate relate relate
All I see is them building the stone again

Won't you see we're just building the stone again
Gather round young and small to attend
Build your daze as though there is never night
Close the door, pass the torch, turn out the light

Saddle up another burnt out day
Drip your spite just to breeze on through the fray
Hold me closely, don't ignore me, please adore me
Confess those who invite me will alight me in the same breath

Sleep
Tell them only as one who abides to relate sedate sedate
All I see is them building the stone again

Can't you see we're just building the stone again
The same as we. Back when the wall began
All as one, to stand alone is as none
Piled high stone to stone no where to run

Evening down another busy day
Pass the time just to piss your thoughts away
One is all and all's inane is the game
As they name you to ingrain you and it claims you as one

Sleep yeah
Tell them only as one who abides to relate relate relate
All I see is them building the stone again
Where reality sleeps
Tell them only as one who abides to dictate dictate
All I see is them dragged by the stone again
Track Name: The Island Song
Gone, I've gone it seems
It screams. Lost in utero
Undone. As want to crave
Bred to need it all

Slowly in time stretched inward
Solely as mine the end I sing

Once been, now wrong
Long since. Chapped in disarray
Weaned on. Tied to. Flushed out
Bathed in Adderall

Slowly in time stretched inward
Solely as mine the end I sing

What's round goes out
Wanton Ad Invidiam
Slack gin. Wired poon. Gutter spice
Backed into the wall

Slowly in time stretched inward
Solely as mine the end I sing
Wholly as I outside to see
Track Name: Ride With Me
Lonely eyed gypsy girl
Come take a ride with me
Tell it to me slowly now
You know I cannot see

Lead me by the way-side
Under a jaded sky
Paint you golden feathered wings
To see if you can die

Love stuck wanderer
Teach me how to run
Sleepy signs tend your way
Beneath a fading sun

Walk alone deserted sands
Who will meet you there
Gone is the old life
Without worry or care

Ramble weary nightingale
Home is where you flee
Ask but what you can't receive
is what they say will be

Leave me by the way-side
Under elated guise
Paint your golden tethered wings
As we say goodbye
Track Name: Three Seasons
Sold as slaves obliged
Spoke as one contrived
Shook to those that bleed
Sapid yet sallow the creed

Are we pleading?
Grey the season
Hold said cliche
Follow, obey

Born to blame am I
Honed as though implied
Buried to receive
Holy yet hostile the creed

Are we pleading?
Red the season
Hold said cliche
Follow, obey

You that sow the child
Seeds of those beguiled
Future you impede
All who swallow the creed

Are we pleading?
Black the season
Hold said cliche
Follow, obey
Track Name: Oralius
Teddy was a loner, he knew just where he'd been
Fed out n' dried demand
Thrift junky hound to the brand

Leisured as a prude, he banks on easy win
Fiend of the higher hand
Trend honky seed of the land

Said he had a leeway tethered to his whim
Seam of the finest strand
Preened at the seat of command

Wet bitten bleeder ain't got heart to begin
Sup through the needle 'till the ice cracks again.

Betty was a roller, fold of fine facade
Odd out in sultry sway
Head high while buyers purvey

Tied to the pitch she bides to promenade
Wound up to take her pay
Contrived to their dismay

Better never than late she just proudly nods
Drink deep the swine obey
Bored dreams to better convey.

Wet bitten bleeder ain't got heart to begin.
Sup through the needle 'till the ice cracks again.

Nia was a child, she knew pain from the start
Born from the vicar's law
Lost parents, slaves bound in awe

Hard up 'n out, seen as a world apart
Hope set thin as straw
Days counting down to the draw

We in our wealth turning eyes to the dark
Piss drunk to pay our flaws
Knee deep in pride we withdraw
Track Name: All You Will
Away they go
She say I got that certain somethin' that you can't ever know
And where they go she'll be

Side to side at the wheel
Side to side all you will
Side to side at the wheel
Side to side all you will

I bet you can. I bet you don't
I bet you pawn to soak up what you already spilt
Back to back. Round your neck

Side to side at the wheel
Side to side all you will
Side to side at the wheel
Side to side all you will

And what she want she get
And when she points you crawl to lick the scrap from the cracks
Pride 'n sold. Bit to leash

So let it go
She said I got that somethin' I'm certain that you want for yourself
And when they gone you'll see
Track Name: Day of the Fall
I watched the rain wash out your mind
Like panes of glass through shards of time
Slow, slipping, silent to us all
Where was I? The day you fall

Dream for the days of life gone by
Hope for the best though you don't try
Love is lost seen through your eyes
Where was I? The day you fall

Walls of mirrors reflect inside
Walk round and round no place to hide
Time drifts by, threads to the tide
Where was I? The day of the fall

I watched the rain wash out your mind
Like panes of glass through shards of...
Track Name: Reminisce of Keef
Pick up your memories 'fore they've gone away.
Better they told me it was gonna stay.
Yeah rundown, beggar bound, bawdy bribed, benders round.
Some try bitchin' but their better off lending a hand.

Aren't we sheik?
Pride we keep
All your life
Love and strife

A grade below don't make it so
But you insist
To bait you know, trade what you sow
And reminisce

All but your memory you are welcome to choose
Help 'cause you want to, not for fear you might lose
Yeah red clad, toe-rag, petty scab, too bad
Dead beat driftin' at the best chance that he'll ever have

Aren't we sleek?
Pride comes cheap
All in life
Fear is rife

A grade below don't make it so
But you insist
To bait you know, trade what you sow
And reminisce

A grade below don't make it so
But you insist
To bait you know, trade what you sow
And reminisce
