Truth Cult - Off Fire (2020)

 

Truth Cult - Off Fire Lyrics

1. Chemical Trial

locked in a cage

people will stare

continue to laugh

while I struggle for air

can you read my mind?

the thunder hits

and here I sweat

have you seen them?

I said have you seen them?

can you read my mind?

light up outside

chemical trial

everywhere you look

is a darker smile

can you read my mind?

2. Shout Away

I can see it in your eyes

as we watch it all die

all the will comes north

form the dark aura that you pull but

I believe in you

sit with me and watch

as the sky clears away

because baby where I' from

we shout away all that pain

I believe in you

3. Hell Baby

you star and I feel it

you're scared and I see it

what's the point? are you squeamish?

I'm evil baby can you feel it?

it's not about you

it's not about you

it's coming down

it's falling down around you

big ego I see through it

compensation you can't beat it

you ain't tough better believe it

I'm straight from hell baby can you see it?

it's not about you

it's not about you

it's coming down

it's falling down around you

4. Revolution of Connection

controlled chaos

I don't want to be a killer but I set off the bomb

your revolution of connection

it's a walking contradiction you're a walking contradiction

and the bull he ran away but we brought him home

and I don't want you to know me I don't want you

sew my eyelids shut I'm already gone

I can't see much because I'm already dead

controlled chaos

I don't want to be a killer but I set off the bomb

your revolution of connection

it's a walking contradiction you're a walking contradiction

and the bull he ran away but we brought him home

and I don't want you to know me I don't want you

controlled chaos

I don't want to be a killer but I set off the bomb

your revolution of connection

it's a walking contradiction you're a walking contradiction

and a veil to disappear it's for your protection

and we're killing ourselves for life

sew my eyelids shut I'm already gone

I can't see much cause I'm already dead

drag me through the mud til I can feel the pain

but the pain is gone because I'm already dead

5. Beg to Burn

keep me waiting

and I'll beg to burn

I don't wait I don't hurt

make me feel that burn

make me feel that burn and I'll beg

don't keep me waiting for my turn

the colors fade grey and I grow pale

take it off displace I can't hear the dark

bloom with the sun and drown with the rain

look me in the eyes and ask me for more

6. Adding Up

(n/a on the lyrics insert)

7. Zeijlon and On

outside of the rioters office

I keep calm but I can't get off it

breeze ring and the counters head

in the stone and rounded edge

pencil pushing to the sewer

loss columns and carry the root

it's getting fewer

I can't feel myself

these thoughts run dead

and these ghosts in my head

won't let me forget

peep through the blinds in time

police looking in my mind

hello my chest is heavy

can you say that again?

I can't feel myself

these thoughts run dead

and these ghosts in my head

won't let me forget

all trying to fix it

8. Off Fire

feeling the fear that's 1000 years old

burn in the dark you get left in the cold

a child dressed up for conscription

asking to hear but only to listen

I'm off fire

don't be afraid of what you believe

caught in a web of future and greed

reading the signs the worlds in the wall

heat from above and the dirt from the fall

I'm off fire

self divide to the useless ties

breeze running through the holes of your lies

9. Vacuum of Faith

I don't really wanna go with you

I don't really want to leave with you

deep in the back seat

there's a vacuum of faith

five eyes glued to me and

I get carried away

I see you

I don't really want to go with you

I don't really want to leave with you

right where the tracks meet

there's a vacuum of faith

I'm lost in a microscope

and I'm running away

I don't really want to go with you

I don't really want to leave with you

take me back

10. Where You're From Is There Death?

air is crisp present white

time grows short to fade

have I walked into the light?

I put my hands in the snow to freeze them clean

I put my hands to the sky so I can see

where you're from is there death?

does life reach a means?

I look around to see

there ain't no one but me

I see him coming

alone in a void return control

there's no answers around

just your thoughts to hold

sit quiet for the hour all that passed

back to seeing the strange

with nothing short to ask

I see him coming

Goodbye World - At Death's Door (2021)

 

Goodbye World - At Death's Door Lyrics

1. Blood and Bone

blood and bone

out in the road

stains and guts and flies

mangled metal

smoking engine

staring frozen eyes

curling burning

blackened skin

burning flesh

old guts

twisted neck

a heart attack

on the drive

home from work

skinned alive

when car and bus collide

2. Fetch the Blade

dream of going outside

afraid of all that's there

close the shade

my life's destroyed

fetch the blade

paranoid

in a highway motel

weekly rental

don't care

I keep seeing my blood

spraying out

3. Hacked to Pieces

hacked to pieces

found their body parts

all over town

places you can't imagine

there's still two missing heads

you can hear them crying to each other at night

would you like to see those heads

I'll drive you to them

straight over this cliff

mid-air our lives will

flash before us

our best years

on display

vivid memories in 3D

some things will feel pleasant

while others will feel sad

so if you happen to be looking

please pardon my embarrassment

4. Laugh Out Loud 

I was talking to myself

about the ruins of the world

that one in Peru, right

where children were sacrificed

well it made me laugh out loud

and you asked why I was laughing

then you wished you hadn't asked

why was I laughing?

5. Normal

talented artists

real bohemians

you must have been in your graves

dug your way out

they were too many guests in my home

I thought you were normal

who knew I was capable of murder

I procured the pope's skull

I reject your reality and substitute my own

you say my mind is affecting my words

you're wrong

it's my words that are affecting my mind

I believe in everything which the brain is unable to prove

6. I Must Be Destroyed

why can't they ever leave me alone

I'm stuck yet they still make it difficult

see I'm only a guest here

you say you need a reason?

a child's logic is rewarding

I'm not who they loved

I am but a shell

possessed and corrupted

to find peace I must be destroyed

how funny it'll be

the moment I come back around

you'll say that I'm dead

7. Effigy of Myself

this is your dissection

forgive the intrusion

I'll make a person out of you yet

an effigy of myself

inside your private hell

I shall never stop

even if your surgery fails

I'll cut another way

and another

and another

you simply can't conceive of

what I have in store for you

8. My Body Was Dead

you don't deserve me

but I deserve you

I deserve nothing better than you

in all this time my body was dead

but my soul remained

I heard the cock crow

everything was magic

until I understood it

9. In Flames

gas and cleaning agents

found in an abandoned school

in a mop bucket

wheeled down the sidewalk

next to the place

where you work

next to that place

lit and thrown

in flames

10. Laid Out

life and I are virgins to each other

but I only use christian names in bed

laid out in this coffin I understand

man as he comprises two beings

man as he could be

man as he would be

both beyond good and evil

the unattainable eve with her

apples and her snakes whispers

the men who beg get nothing

11. At the Graveyard

I buried a couple of important items

near the tallest site

at the graveyard

I went back

with a shovel

last week

I got so fucking

mixed up

unearthed something

I shouldn't have

wanna see it?

12. Invention

I am the victim of everything

my brain is in someone else's body

but consider this

had not our cave-dwelling forebears been given to invention

I would eat you for dinner

and use your bones to club my next beloved

13. Arc Blast

arc flash

arc blast winds

vaporizing eyes

arc flash

arc blast wins

peeling away all

14. Abomination

I am made of plastic

thought nothing could hurt me

but then you stabbed me

hurt like hell I even bled

I think I'm turning human

I dread I'll have to live

the rest of my life like this

I am an abomination

15. Within Walls

so you've finally killed me

that wasn't nice

I shall make this

a house unfit to live in

within walls

down the hall

beneath floors

behind doors

you'll find me

everywhere

I'm literally in heaven

haunting you

day and night

some pink-cheeked

seminarian

will try to exercise me

but I'll just possess him

then we'll be

together again

Dame - Dame (2020)

 

Dame - Dame Lyrics

1. Ersatz

world unfolds and folds again

the sound itself a memory

a frequency you'll never hear

I hear it not call out to me

world unfolds and folds again

I read it through what I don't see

a place in terms of want and need

I hear it not call out to me

isn't it pathetic

any way you get it

isn't it pathetic

vile and synthetic

2. Mensrea

can't see your own reflection

when your world is full of smoke

but that's the way you like it

until you don't

your empire just crumbled

it's your writing on the wall

and your self deprecation

an example to us all

whatever the transgression

there's no need to repent

you got no bullet

to follow your intent

here's your exoneration

take what you want and go

don't ask too many questions

it's better to not know

3. Cicadas

once the world is quiet

I start to hear the buzz

nothing ever happens

and then everything does

now we've been here long enough

to know just what it's worth

now we've been here long enough to learn

I already know this scene

where you crawl out and in

it's always the same cadence

it's always the same sin

and nature is a brute

so I sit back and let you win

and hum with the cicadas

fall down around my heels

ground into the earth

this time I can bury you

pave over the earth

4. Vacancy

nothing here to hear

just static and dead air

once a holy mess

now an everyday affair

vacancy

dead air that surrounds me

they can see dead air all around me

nothing here to see

gathering of dust

nothing here to say

only if you must

5. Skeleton

we're all secured in for the ride

committed to the lie

I'm a stranger here myself

I can't compete with time

desire doesn't matter

in a way it's all that does

look back into the marrow

to see nothing that it was

draw a question miss the mark

and watch it all decline

I'm a stranger here myself

what do you fear more

6. Bubble Baby

I was born a bubble baby

and I can't be touched

couldn't nourish me either

it just comes back up

I'm gonna live forever trapped in glass

I'm gonna live forever not too much to ask

break the walls down let your germs consume me

just let me rot now I have no immunity

in a quarantine of my own I've made my home

isolation from contagion so pristine and on my own

7. Parlor Games

scratch 'til it shines

a grasping dynasty

kissed by the sun

another golden baby

pick out the prey

it's just a tiny sting

don't overthink

they won't feel a thing

devour the guests

so thankful they came

bow the head

sit and play their parlor games

you know they'd do the same

just clinging to a name

nest of emerald wasps

and then the crowned jewel

pretty parasites

who break their own rules

a chip in the veneer

it's just one little thing

when I condemn

who exactly do I mean

Dame - Dame (2017)

 

Dame - Dame Lyrics

1. Glitch

a fuzzy grasp of sight and sound

it hits me hard from all directions

it's all enough

to make you doubt your whole existence

the last thing that I saw

was writing on the wall

this glitch this glitch

it's all I can recall

a fuzzy grasp of sight and sound

it hits you hard from all directions

it's all enough to make you doubt your whole existence

drips down from your mind

a different kind of morning sickness

don't be too proud

don't let your guard down for an instant

the last thing that I saw

was writing on the wall

this glitch this glitch

it's all I can recall

2. Lines

I'm on the line

and it's enough

cause when you talk

it's just in tongues

the lines are down

all rearranged to make it cheap

but not too strange

tumbleweeds are falling

from your mouth

we're standing in a ghost town

tumbleweeds are falling

from your mouth to the ground

I don't want to stick around

3. Hush

a code of silence

we keep it quiet

can't claim asylum

my lips, they'll sink

a thousand ships or more

a code of silence

we keep it quiet

can't claim asylum

the veins the nerves

a separation of concerns

culture of quiet

who writes the code

of virtue in terror

I'll lose my head I know

damned if you don't

hush 'til you choke

out of the cold

hush 'til you choke

Subdued - 4 Track E.P. (2018)

 

Subdued - 4 Track EP Lyrics

1. Open Grave

lowly hiss and ringing

did you see it descending

all their dignity down on you

crown of thorns

everything confused

bolt the chain

lying in the piss of those they've slain

everything is sharper now aim for pain

heavens filled with acid rain

silence slitting through the spread

like cutting through pigs flesh

I can hear the chorus sing with no meaning

just a song to the wind

if you want it you'll see that it's real

step down into the mire crouched cracked on your heels

you're a sinking boot

slip down to your knees

everything gone grey grown hard with disease

sulphur breeze

lying lame in bed with your belief

awful glow

miscast childs shadow

metal washing in

anything worthwhile stripped and thinned

bloodless minds and skin

it's cutting, cutting, and cutting again

tell you how to feel

devils haven't the modern world

they lead you on a chain

gladly walk with them

misplaced all desire

light the funeral pyres

laugh with the condemned

step into the pit

willingly submit

holding on to cuff and collar

gave a purpose to you

the rest are holding onto theirs

bloody faces in the glare

faintly hoping for some freedom

respite from tide and poison

be quiet now or be sedated

all emotion automated

masses silent anyway

seeing it with feeble wave

you have failed to transcend

so you're placed into a grave

tiptoe through headstones

with all your sickly feelings

murder, a kinder thing to do

just get in the pit and lie still

the rat catcher

the child snatcher

no separation with you

see the dying of the rat

no longer able to turn back

herds are thinning

end of faith at its beginning

all the awful things you thought to do

figure disappears underneath the boot

be quiet now or be sedated

only poison cultivated

staring into a black doorway

faces erupt and fade in orgy

meaning burns on limpid wires

then melts into the air

this is nothing but a nightmare
meaning burns on limpid wires
then melts into the air
this is nothing but a nightmare

2. Sedation

not the needle in the side of my temple

evil sin and lies in the side of my temple

wondering why you ever close your eyes

in the side of my temple

your body fails and so does your mind

no longer the bait to starving dogs on a string

you close the door on life

but in the window he's watching

eternal visions invade

I raise the stumps of my bloody hands

and as the damned soul sinks

the fire rises

they're nailing you to the cross

strapped to the syringe

why close your eyes

all the filth's in your mind

3. Face to the Fire

face to the fire

who was here instead of me

memory gone entirely

life is the enemy

filling up a bag with dreams

tremble in your ears and then

going at them like a dog

face is stretched in slanting fog

transitory time is spent

picking at the bones of it

walking in the well it's cold

won't think until

your brain is pulled

4. Kill Them or You

you're unforgiven too

face as white as bone

long streak of bad luck

pray it's all gone

life like a nightmare

picture of pain

only a shadow

of shame remains

no schizophrenia

the hurting thing is you

a toy in the mundane

madness stares through

misery

down in your hell

life's an empty cell always

come into existence and pass away
