Kingdoms : Daughters of Atlas

Тексты песен

1. SPLIT THE SKY

Oh, since when is the horizon the boundary of this world?

They all hope that light
Will pour through the seams
That we tear in the sky.
We all reach for something more.

We measure what we will become in different ways
But ghosts or not, we all, we all hide the same way
Oh, since when is the horizon the boundary of this world?

I’ve grown too far past the fights i’ve had
Against a belief in what I can’t see.
Ill wait for the day that you split the sky
And give me (them) something to touch
Split the sky

How you live means more then what you believe


2. THE BILTMORE HOTEL

It’s one evil or another, as far as I can tell

With days made harsher by an emptier tomorrow
The tired and mistreated tend to stay that way

If these simple words I scribe can change one mind
There will be sleep at the end of the day

Well I will radiate, give them something profound and say it in a simple way
So write it on my face
They call it lack of ambition… I guess its lack of ambition

There's far too much time spent facing the ordeal
Of seeking forgiveness for the words we scribe
About what’s truly inside

It will be the authors that inherit the earth


3. PYRAMIDS

Let me be the one they call cadaver
Well its winter in spring and i’ve got weak knees and cold feet
It’s a bitter cold, and it’s a cold that I will never drink to
Dressing in black is becoming a habit
I can’t compromise for the bones that I never owned
Pulling favors for the dishonest simply because I love the dead
So tell me something other then “this happened again.”
Dressing in black is becoming a habit
God gets no more favors from me, and there is no moon
When you get on your knees, your knees to pray
I’ll be the man smoking on the other side of the door
This irony has always kept these hands clean
And irony keeps these lungs clean
This is the only time I can be sure not to lose my grip

I am ready, but I am not ready
We are ready. We are not ready


4. CATHARSIS

And it was my name
Spewing piss and talking shit
I hope this room doesn’t make you feel safe
Well the art crowd is here
And with a boring pretension they’ve crawled up in a dead author’s throat
With a mouth full of venom and bad intentions clenched within these fists

And it was my name;

My royalty was you looking like a child
When your head hit the back of that wall
Spewing piss and talking shit
I hope that drink doesn’t make you feel safe
Well the high school athletic's arrived
Kissing all the pretty girls, but they get too drunk to fuck
With a mouth full of venom, eyes like the ice age
And bad intentions clenched within these fists
I will drown you in the ill will i’ve been soaking into the floor
I hope there’s medicine in that flask that you’ve been downing...
You’re about to forget this night ever happened
Run and get the sugar baby
We’re about to have an asphalt confession

My genius and brilliance left this party with self abuse
Clarity is alone
Happiness is always a fucking no show


5. TELEGRAPH STATIC

Day has arrived to shatter the neck of nighttime
Your plane it burns in sunlight, something like slow motion
All that we can hope for in a situation like this
Is to leave it with a little bit of grace
A dream at night, about your presence removed
The next time that I drop this anchor, let it be your hands

A face like a lion's from fights on the subway
And a weekend of sleeping after your departure
Day has arrived to shatter the neck of nighttime
As I shield my face with these shaky hands
When the sun’s not in my eyes I see how lonely this place really is
I still miss you, and the southwest sends its love
A constant cluttering of words with no ears to receive them
At least promise me that you’ll send a letter once in a while

I still miss you, and the southwest sends its love


6. ATLANTIS

It was destruction (of our good name. I gave up all I had)
To follow that sirens song (to follow that dream)
A partner in crime in this army of five
Riddled with such moral delinquencies
You fled in the night and left lingering, the pieces of defeat
This is not about loss (my hands still shake with this fear of truth)
This is not about you (and this fear of commitment)
It's because of you, that deceit never found her Clyde
This is the starting of a better chapter
With a new found fresh water and a taste for clean air

Rest your heads my friends, there’s a 48 mile climb ahead
Feet they pound like thunder as we call out to your archers
Riddled with such moral delinquencies (and she’s hungry, oh she’s hungry!)
You fled in the night and left lingering, the pieces of defeat

Rest your heads my friends, there’s a 48 mile climb ahead
This load, it needs to be lightened and she’s hungry, oh she’s hungry!
Take all of your memories…take it all…take everything...
And feed it to the sea


7. LA SERENA

With eyes like model homes where everything is perfect and nothing is real
All I see is vacancy, so let’s count this city out
With aspirations of apparitions
Windless sails on an empty pier
I’m saving all my change for that flight to La Serena
Where Gemini South is waiting for me
I need this light; I need the light of something otherworldly
To pierce these black spheres that have grown so weary
Weathervanes point to withered veins
And weariness thrives like the word of god in middle America
This is one more yellow brick
Through your windshield on the way to Oz
I need to define myself with a new centre of gravity
