AMOK Lyrics

01. BEFORE YOUR VERY EYES...

Look out of the window

What is passing you by.

If you really want this bad enough.

You're young and good looking

The keys to the kingdom.

Sooner or later

And before your very eyes

Old soul on young shoulders.

How you'll look when you're older.

Times' fickle card game with you and I.

You have to take your chances,

The book of forgiveness.

Sooner or later

And before your very eyes

-

02. DEFAULT

It slipped my mind,

and for a time

I felt completely free.

A word of trouble.

Silent double.

A pawn unto a queen.

I laugh now

but later's not so easy.

I gotta stop,

the will is strong but the flesh is weak.

I guess that's it,

I've made my bed and i lie in it.

I'me still hanging on.

Bird upon a wire.

I fall between the waves.

I avoid your gaze.

I turn out of phase.

A pawn unto a queen.

I laugh now

but later's not so easy.

I gotta stop,

the will is strong but the flesh is weak.

I guess that's it,

I've made my bed and i lie in it.

But it's eating me up

It's eating me up

It's eating me up

If i get free of all my snares and my nets...

03. INGENUE

You know like the back of your hand

who let em in.

You got me into this mess so

you get me out.

You know like the back of your hand.

Your bell jar.

Your collection.

Ingenue.

You get me into this mess.

Fools rushing in, yeah,

and they know it.

The seeds of the dandelion you know blow away.

In good time, i hope, i pray.

If  i'm not there now physically,

i'm always before you

come what may.

And you know it.

Fools rushing in

yeah

well you know it.

who let them in?

yeah

well you know it

gone with a touch of your hand

gone with a touch of your hand

move through the moment

though it betrays

transformations

jackals and flames

if i knew now

what i knew then

just give me more time

i hope and pray

i mistake all you say

the seeds of the dandelion you blow away

-

04. DROPPED

it slipped

out

of my hands

went deep down

wandering

stumbling

i don't wanna start

don't want to start

when i got your heart

i got your heart

it slipped down

out

of my hands

and flipped

out

went wandering

stumbling

and i fell apart

i fell apart

-

05. UNLESS

...care a less

i couldn't care a less

care a less

i couldn't care a less

care a less

i couldn't care a less

such a mess

i know it's useless

i couldn't care a less

care a less

i couldn't care a less

while my heart keeps returning

i am lost

i am weightless

with my arms by my side

i am hope

i can break this

i am rust

i am waiting

i am here

i am weightless

i am rust

rust

rust

rust

rust

care a less

i couldn't care a less

care a less

i know it's useless

i couldn't care a less

care a less

i know it's useless

couldn't care a less

care a less

i know it's you i guess

couldn't care a less

06. STUCK TOGETHER PIECES

Our stuck together pieces

The joke is i don't need this

You can hardly tell the difference

Well i know but i don't care

Grown up together pieces

Our stuck together pieces

A loada near misses

Aw shucks you got me

You can have anything that you want

Except the thing you really want

Go back to where you came from

Go back to what you know

Our stuck together pieces

Our stuck together pieces

Our stuck together pieces

Our stuck together pieces

Why be rain when you could be sun?

Why tie yourself to anyone?

Why be here when you'd somewhere else?

Well i know but i don't care

You don't get away

You don't get away so easily

Mirror mirror still the prettiest

To all points of the compass

Just tell us where the money is

On stuck together pieces

And a loada misses

And a loada misses

Well i don't want any trouble

But my brain is in a tangle

You don't get away

You don't get away so easily..

07. JUDGE JURY AND EXECUTIONER

Don't worry baby

It goes right through me

I'm like the wind and my anger will disperse

Thin persecutors

Thin twisted vespers

A horned reptile that has crawled upon the earth

I went for my usual walk

I tell like it is tell like was

Judge and Jury

Executioner

Judge and Jury

Executioner

And darkness follows

No tomorrows

It's all been decided

All spiced and scented

All bouncing voices down the echo chamber

“If you come to me tonight

I'll be yours for good......”

I went for my usual walk

I went around the block I just can't talk

or reason with my

Executioner

Judge and Jury

Executioner

Thin waist betrayers

Who talk in layers

I went for my usual walk

I tell like it is tell like it was

Judge and Jury

Executioner

Judge and Jury

Executioner

Don't worry baby

It goes right through me

I'm like the wind and my anger will disperse

-

08. REVERSE RUNNING

I'm reverse running.

It doesn't mean anything.

Hurling headlong.

Why would you even ask?

I've forgotten who i am.

Snakes uncoiling.

Pressed up to the glass.

All the things that you shouldn't ask.

But you see through me.

It doesn't mean anything.

a meaningless plaything.

Reverse running.

Running contrary-ways.

Pulling off the anyways.

I'm messing up.

Messing up the balance.

Breaking my trajectory.

All the toys in the factory.

While you all lie down.

While you all lie down.

I'm skipping back through the tapes.

Skipping through the ad breaks.

God in heaven!

It makes me feel energized!

All else is sanitized.

And with such joy.

Running contrary-ways.

Pulling off the anyways.

I jump back around.

I'm reversing.

I'm reverse running.

I fall under the horses feet.

All the things that I shouldn't see.

Animal or Bird.

Animal or Bird.

Moving in slow motion.

This shit is gonna mess me up

09. AMOK

A penny for your thoughts my love

A swinging door

A penny for your thoughts

They try to jump me

A penny for you thoughts my love

They're spaghetti

They possess me

I'm trying to be a thought killer

They come back to bite me

A penny for you thoughts my love

They court disaster

I'm trying to be a thought killer

A penny for you thoughts my love

You'll forget me

I'm trying to be a thought killer

A penny for you thoughts

They distract me

A penny for you thoughts my love

I'm sending out choirs of angels

Trying round pieces of string

To run amok run amok ran amok

To run amok

You got me you got me

Back to bite me

A penny for your thoughts.
