Karnivool

n alone
Off the coast
Facing nothingness
Drawn to feel the emptiness
Oh help me now
Describe the scene

You're free to go
(We'll face these things some other day)
You're free to go
(I won't leave you you're not ok)
You're free to go
(We'll face these things some other day)
You're free to go
(I won't leave you you're not ok)

Simple boy, stay here
Simple boy, don't wander
Simple boy, you're safe here
Simple boy, simple boy

So when did we lose the plot
Were running against the clock
Don't hesitate
Or you will never know

Simple boy, you're free to go
Don't wander, you're free to go
Simple boy, you're free to go
You're safe here, you're free to go
You're free to go
You're free to go
My simple boy, my simple boy
My simple boy, my simple boy

2. GOLIATH.

I want you
I've seen your ways
Show yourself
Better than what you make believe

All I hear
Is the sound of sleep
Deafening
Comfort in the arms of sweet dreams

Now, this won't take long
We'll rise up again
And rewrite these wrongs

I won't do it
I've rushed you
Patiently
Guarding the life that you deceived

I've crawled for you
Or so they say
We rise to it
Fall again into the same dream

You won't have to wait long
They'll show up again
Make way for the fall

Wake up
There's blood in your sweat when you wake up
Cower, bloodsucking liar
Who you gonna call when you wake up?

See now
What you gonna see when you wake up?
Beg, you little fucking liar
Your head on this chopping board

If this is entertaining
I hope you enjoy the view

Wide awake
And still asleep
I'm failing this riddle in my head, I
I'm failing to get it
Can you say?
Honestly?
Wide awake
And still asleep

Don't leave this too long
(It won't take long)
Tomorrow will come
(Hang around)
You won't have to wait long
(We'll rise up again)
It's your day in the sun

They've shown up again
They've shown up again
They've shown up again
They've shown up again

Please wake up!!
Please wake up!!

3. NEW DAY

How did they find me?
How did they know?
This misconception of fate
I'm about to let go

Awake in a new light, I'm
Alone in this room
Heavy at heart, it may be a lie
You will not see me

It's a new day
(Why did they follow me home?)
It's a new day

One
More
Step, it's
Here waiting for you, now
Go
Slow, take your time

Leave
No
Mark
You lost your way
I hope you're watching me

One
More
Step, it's
Here waiting for you, now
Go
Slow, take your time

Celebrating
For the one so free
You lost your way
No-one held you back from me

How do you all
Speak
With a lying tongue?
How do we all
Sleep
With a dying sun?

Sit down
Lighten your own
This storm is coming
You should stay home
But I feel warm

Hey, let's get lost in the crowd, while
Searching for something worth holding
Hey, let's get still lost in the crowd
I'll show you so much more
Much more
So much more
So much more

Are we waiting?
For the savior?
Someone to heal this
Or erase us

How did they find me?
How did they know?
This misconception of fate
I'm about to let go

Awake in a new light, I'm
Alone in this room
Heavy at heart, it may be a lie
You will not see me

It's a new day
It's a new day
It's a new day

Are we waiting?
For the savior?
I'm so sick of waiting
I've been waiting my whole life

This is a new day
This is a new day
This is a new day

4. SET FIRE TO THE HIVE

I don't know what's wrong but I'm on fire,
it seers through my hands, leaving skin on the wire
Awake in this womb with a crown sting in my self
When I listen, the same cry plays on.

We're slaves
In this medicated cage
make a decision to face this - change.
The rules they don't explain
So why do we obey?

Politics, religion, your vision's the same
You played us, as both a cancer and a cure
Which reminds me that it's just a game
You're alibi - a sales pitch
Your pretty boy, pretty face dolled up again
A star for us to adore
And you man you've got to be more
Cause this effects all.

It's nice to know you're with us today
I've seen you in the fall along the way.

I spit in the mouth of your god
who whispers in the minds of our children
You've been sold again.
Set fire to the hive as you flee
It's fiction, a faceless illusion
You've been had again.

You swing this wrecking ball
A violent pendulum
to hypnotise them all.

The writing on the wall,
That we keep missing
A structure built to fall
Still we all obey.

It's nice to know you're with us today
I've seen you in the fog along the way.

I spit in the mouth of your god
who whispers in the minds of our children
You've been sold again
Set fire to the hive as you flee
It's fiction, a faceless illusion
You've been had again.

There's no second chances here
There's no second chances here
There's no second chances here.

5. UMBRA

Paint
Me in your own way
Colour my eyes
See what feelings I hide

No-one knows why
No one can forgive
Second thought
Why do I care?

I'll hide from subtleties while
I try to face my kind
And you call this feeling
It's not enough
Come again another day
Now that my world feels at least
I'll follow you home

Wake me with a bottle 'cross the head
I'll sleep 'til it's over and I'm sober again

Safe
Well I don't feel so safe here
Imagine that everything's affected by a cause
In this game you call luck
(There's nowhere to go)
Well I don't feel so lucky, no
(Lie to yourself)
And just when I think I've worked it out
These pieces move and I'm back to the start

Wake me with a bottle 'cross the head
I'll sleep 'til it's over and I'm sober again

Hey
It's nothing that you'd understand
I promised you maybe
Always

Do you think it matters?
(Here I will stand)
Do you think at all?
(Here I will fall)
Do we complicate it?
(Organised recovery)
Do we know it all?
(I'll always go)

I don't want to
(Here I will stand)
I just have to
(Here I will fall)
I don't need it
(Organised recovery)
I just want it
(I'll always go)

And lay this troubled sinner
With a gun in your hand
Now you live for no-one
Knowing what you held in your arm

Wasted promise
Set in stone and blood
Hold your promise
Save your cheap remarks, just leave me here alone

6. ALL I KNOW

This is my sense of reality
This is proof of my coming of age
This is truth in captivity
This is loosing a theology, I
I'm a soul taker
I'm a cruel, witted mind
This is my sense of reality
This is proof of my coming of age
I'm a soul taker
I'm a cruel witted mind

Are you with me?
Are you of my mind?
Are you with me?
Are you of my mind?

Waking, falling, free of gravity
We just severed these umbilical wires
This is more than just affinity
We're moving further through an endless desire
I'm a soul taker
I'm a cruel witted mind

Come again, I feel a breakdown
Let's go higher

This is the sound of your
Reason to wake
Have we forgotten now?
Can we relate?

It's backwards, it makes no sense
So real that we can't pretend
It's backwards, it makes no sense
It's harder to just pretend

Say it once more
Say it again
That this is the end
Of all I know

Say it once more
Say it again
That this is the end
Of all I know

Are you with me?
(Can we relate?)
Are you of my mind?
Are you with me?
(Can we relate?)
Are you off my mind?

Say it once more
Say it again
That this is the end
Of all I know

Say it once more
Say it again
That this is the end
Of all I know

7. THE MEDICINE WEARS OFF

See what I get
When the medicine wears off
You're moving fast
Try a little, see if I can make
The moment last
You'll burn the night up like a star
You'll break this heart, you know
When you're coming 'round, you're
Taken by wonder of it all
Where are you now?
Longing for the state of mind
Oh, I remember why we started blocking all we said

See what I get
When the medicine wears off
See what I get
When the medicine wears off

8. THE CAUDAL LURE

Ask a question
Are the answers loaded like this one?
You better pull yourself along
Time is precious and you must act
This isn't inevitable
I still stand
I won't get back in my cell
I will not let a saviour define my freedom
I'm going out now
No-one is gonna save us from this

We should have known better not to taste this wine we swallow
For all and more, we set our recourse for tomorrow
Now we could mend, we will awake this snake and follow

Shatter the hourglass and what do you see
Memories like grains of sand are blowing away
Is this who you are? A product of fear
The shell of a man who lost his innocence

Hold your nerve
Keep your focus
There's something peculiar about the way you pay to save your soul
You forfeit your dream

Just let it go

We should have known better not to drink this wine we swallow
For all and more, we set our recourse for tomorrow
Now here we stand, we will embrace it or be defiant
For the moment, taken by these chemicals you can't control

Ask the question
Ask the question
Ask the question

We should have known better not to drink this wine we swallow
For all and more, we set our recourse for tomorrow
Now we could mend, we will embrace it or be defiant
Silent moment, induced by these chemicals you can't control

(Where's your God?
Where's your God at? Alone)
(Where's your God?
Where's your God at? Alone)

(Where's your God?
Where's your God at? Alone)
(Where's your God?
(Where's your God at? Alone)

9. ILLUMINE

Don't listen
Don't even hear a sound they make, it breaks you
Unspoken
Words that taunt you when you listen
Forgotten
Words that haunt you while you're sleeping

You seem afraid, don't be alarmed
It's only the face of things to come

Servant to the sun, we are beings, we become as one
Lighting every cell, every shape we will never form
And is it relevant?
Our fears, our faults
As foolish as it sounds

So lead us on (Only one way left)
Through the world of false promise
It's one thing to be forgiven (Only one way left)
Only you could learn how to let it go

So we are

Servant to the sun, let us see, we are still as one

Here lie my fault
I'd give up everything
To see what you see
And dream on

Why can't we dream on?

Don't listen
Don't even hear a sound they make, it breaks you
These words won't help
To save you

Servant to the sun, we are beings, we become as one
Lighting every cell, every shape we will never form

These words won't help
To save you

Servants of the sun, let us see, we are still as one

You seem afraid, don't be alarmed
It's only the face of things to come

10. DEADMAN

Changing the tone
Changing my mind
Changing the weather

I feel it at first
A blow from the dark
Take it for better

Still I remind myself
How I define myself

Blacker the bruise
Coming up clear
Vow to get better

Blessed with a curse
Hoping not far
The deeper, the better

I needed
I needed to know
I needed
I needed to know, why

Oh no
This can't be happening
Oh no
This can't be happening

Hate
Is a door
A fever burning for more
A red light
In your mind
That I feed on

You must've been so surprised to see
That you were staring back at me
Caught in a web, now
Out on your own
You've got nothing to stay for
Or so you keep saying

This year it's coming
And guess what we're running from
Too late for running
The stitches are coming undone

Grab your belongings
The exit is near
Making your way through
Indecisiveness

I needed
I needed to know
I needed
I needed to know, why

Oh no
This can't be happening
Oh no
This can't be happening

This myth is meant to die
You're coming blind in this madness
I'll bide all of my time for your love
Come on, crooked man you'll die
Like excuses pouring out a child
Sing: "S.O.S. you saint"
But make room for laughter
No man tried here

This water's dark and cold
God's not where you hoped
In this moment come and gone

It's too late, mayday
Call out: "Mayday!"
While I'm still alive
Hey, no matter

I don't want this to end
I don't want this to end
I don't want this to end
I don't think this will end well

Hey
There goes my love again
No-one's
Coming now
Hey
Out on my own again
Fading face
Broken frown

Hey
I guess I'm fucked up again
No-one
Will find out
Hey
Stare at your feet again
Don't say
You don't know

This water's dark and cold
God's not where you hoped
In this moment come and gone
It's time we all moved on
It's time we all moved on
It's time we all moved on

Away!!!

Still I remind myself
How I define myself
Still I remind myself
(I needed to know)
How I define myself
(I needed to know)
I needed to know
I needed
I needed to know

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

11. CHANGE (PART II)

Hello
Hollow halo
Hello
(Can you hear them say?)
Hollow halo
(Can you hear them calling?)

You'll never
You'll never leave this world alone
You'll never
You'll never leave this world alone, if I
Become a martyr to the stars
Become a model to the same
Side that I've been fighting, I'm
Still afraid to crawl
(No more pointing fingers at mistakes and I'm)
And though I know I'm not the same
(Here in a reflection)
I'm still afraid to watch

How did you pull?
We can lock the way to get us home
What you thought was lost, now found within
Feel this way there

No more pointing fingers at mistakes, and I'm
Here in a reflection

What a way to see this thing out
What a way to lay this gun down
What a way to see this sorrow
What a way to see this one out

Hello, hollow halo
Hello, hollow halo
Hello, hollow halo
Hello, hollow halo

All this leads to nothing
Still this world won't wait
Complicated nothings
Still this world won't wait

What a way to see this thing out
What a way to lay your gun down
What a way to see no tragedy
Hello, hollow halo

Hello, hollow halo
Hello, hollow halo
(Can you hear them say?)
Hello, hollow halo
(Can you hear them calling?)

(Can you hear them calling?)

"You can see all of this
And watch it before your eyes
And everything owes its existence
Solely and completely to sound
Sound is a factor of which holds it together
Sound is the basis of form and shape
Put that into the modern idiom
And say into the great voids of space
Came a sound, and matter took shape
Please watch carefully"

Sideways and mirrors
Smoke that you inhale
Try mouthing bitter tones
Better left unsaid

I know this will burn you
So I become a fire, these days will change us all

Don't you feel the same?
Don't we fear the same things?
Don't we feel the same?

Don't you fear at all?

Lay here
Maybe the damage has been done
As we float away like embers
Beneath us, the fire, still, it burns
And I don't, I don't know why
Question who we are and then we die
I guess, I'll see you when it ends
I'll see you 'round the bend
My sober siren rant

Don't you feel the same?
Don't we feel the same?
(I'll see you when it ends)
(I'll see you 'round the bend)
Don't you feel the same?
(My sober siren rant)

When we collide
Some say goodbye
Some say the words
Leaving no resolve

There's a break in the wall
You can feel it
It's letting us all escape
So, people, tell me you need

A waking day
To fall asleep
Light the way
Find your place

In here
