Take Me Away

Days ago
I was finding myself feeling all alone even though
All my friends were at home
Well it's dastardly cold for this tiny coat
And I cry, take me somewhere so warm and dry
Tired of hibernating half the year cooped up inside
Dreaming I'm high on the tide
People keep talking about me
I know they're talking about me
I can't prove it but I feel each word eating right through me
Yeah I can feel it
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Well I'm black and blue
And I'm broken and bruised
Going to work in the dark
Getting home in the dark
Tell me what could be keeping me here
Take me away
Get me ah, ooh outta here
I leave today
I need change
I can't be bothered with the people in my life these days
I just wanna go where nobody knows my name
Ah
Take me away
Get me ah, ooh I don't care
I'll leave today
I need change

Three Devils

Eyes on me, listen up please
Three devils, each one worse than the last one
Two gone, third we've yet to see
Oh tell me please
I'll give you a hint it's the girl with the mask on
It's killing me
I keep my evil hid with a bashful smile oh
I spoke to ghosts when I was four years old
Burned down my school, voice told me to
I've got something to tell you
Oh tell me please
I'll give you a hint I'm the girl with the mask on
It's killing me
You'll figure it out when I'm ridden of my disguise oh
Oh
I keep my evil hidden, I hid my evil with a smile
Until we get what's even, I wouldn't spit if you were on fire
I keep my evil hidden, I hid my evil with a grin
I play with bugs and insects, I rip their legs off and their wings
I keep my evil hidden, I hid my evil with a smile
Until we get what's even, I wouldn't spit if you were on fire
I keep my evil hidden, I hid my evil with a grin
I play with bugs and insects, I rip their legs off and their wings
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ah
Ha ha ha

Silo

Psilocybin levels rising
Trees bend and sway
Better strap in, shits about to get real
In here, there will be no cryin
I've left a jar for you to put your eyes in
Dive in, let your senses lead you blindly
The cat scan is lit
A thousand candles burning at the wick
Drip by drip
Your head will tip about to
Overflow and pour out
Sounds spill down your ears
It's harder and harder to hear
Can you understand me now
Can you understand me now
Can you understand me now
Can you understand me now
Can you understand me now
Can you understand me now
Can you understand me now
Days! Weeks and months I've been away
In a dream state
So long my skin and bones, they start to decay
Could've sworn I've been away
So long that I've mourned and I decided to stay

The Crows
04:23
|

Hear the crows, squawk and croak
Fighting over their stock
Cleared accounts, repo'd house
They will take it all
Postdate two thousand and eight
Nothing left to take off our plates
Set these guys straight
Take them away
Lock them up and arrest
Do anything but put them back up at their desk
Monday morning
Ohhhh oh oh
Smarter than you know
Ohhhh oh oh
Leave it to the crow-oh-oh-oh-oh's
Whiplash from the last crash
The next could be our last
Trading sticks for stones, abandoned home
Struggle to eat
Where'd your
Life go
You sold it for all that you own
Ohhhh oh oh
Smarter than you know
Ohhhh oh oh
We've been here before
Smarter than you know
Smarter than you know
We've been here before
Ah
Ah

Chemicalize
03:55
|

Spread the fertilizer
Seeds set in a row
Acid rain will pour and you will
Get your greenish glow
Modified and altered
Perfecting the breed
Filled with pesticides
Honey, who planted the seed
Polluting our blood stream
Self-induced fantastic day dream
Ohhh, oh oh oh
Intoxicating
These colours are fading
We've stripped their light
Ohhh, oh oh oh
Outlines and shading
These colours are fading
We've stripped their light
Adding by the teaspoon, oh so gradual
How it becomes a modern, new age natural
Fall behind
Fall in line
A luxury to find a meal, a struggle to survive
Digging down, down just to be buried alive
Chemicalize, chemicalize
Chemicalize, chemicalize
Chemicalize, chemicalize
Chemicalize, chemicalize
Ohhh, oh oh oh
Intoxicating
These colours are fading
We've stripped their light
Ohhh, oh oh oh
Outlines and shading
These colours are fading
We've stripped their light
Ohhh, oh oh oh
Do you remember the colours
Before the sun was smothered
The leaves have died
Chemicalize, chemicalize
Chemicalize, chemicalize
Chemicalize, chemicalize
Chemicalize, chemicalize
Chemicalize, chemicalize
Chemicalize, chemicalize
Chemicalize, chemicalize
Chemicalize, chemicalize
Oh, ooh

Put Me Down Easy
04:52
|
|||
Who will be here
Who will be gone
A question so wrong my chest stings to a beat so fast
And I selfishly hope that you'll put me down easy
I was known
To waste and throw away things that
These days
We would kill a man just to have back, ooh in our hands
Who will watch
Who will see
The last day of our age, last day in history
Well I selfishly hope that it's me
Plastic oceans, tsunamis
Coral dying, soon our trees
Sixth extinction, no air to breathe
Here it's coming, for you and me
Ooh
I'd like to think, give some hope
That people didn't know, that we had no warning signs
But I know! That you won't
Put us down easy
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
