Oh Martin Luther I could use you now
I need your words to come and calm me down
I do, need you
They don't see the mechanics and the strings above
pulling on their shoulders and their fingers and thumbs
I do, need you
My city is shaking and boarding up
There's a killer in the air and loud sirens above
It's see-through
It bleeds through
Got a rage in my belly and a fear in my heart
Imposters are cashing in on killer cars
I see you
It bleeds through
Oh Martin Luther I could use you now
I need your words to come and calm me down
I do, need you
They don't see the mechanics and the strings above
pulling on their shoulders and their fingers and thumbs
I do, I do
Oh Martin Luther I could use you now
I need your words to come and calm me down
I see machines, and screens, pulpits and mouths
Tryin to keep us separate
Keep us down

Cross

This cross you're using as a reason
Is false and honest as treason
I get the need for comfort and answers
You want one we're an agent for disaster
I think its true, that scripture doesn't matter
they're just words to make us feel better
Stop drop, don't forget to roll babe
We are designed for horror and wargames
Punish with violence
And sacrilegious hellscapes
If we confess it makes all ok
Tell me I'm wrong and I'll show you the front page
Today's tomorrow and tomorrow is a replay
Where will we go
And what will be become babe

Holding me down 4x
All the world
All the world
The damage 3x
It's such a curse
It just gets worse
The damage 3x
So I hit the lake
City's wide awake
No damage 3x
When one thing ends
Another one begins
No damage 3x
That one time you laughed
I didn't know that
That would be the last
Time Id see you laugh
Gonnna miss that
Miss it so bad
Love, love you come
You come for my lungs
Love you come
Love, love you come
You cone for my lungs
Love you come
Love, love you come
You come for my lungs
Love you come
Love, love you come
You come for my lungs
Love you come

Nothing Hurts
06:13

|
I'm a hurricane of tears here
And ocean of sleeplessness and wild fear
A mind that spins and constantly veers
Got my hands on the ground and planted legs
The script I was hoping for came true
A three-dimensional plain truth
Out to the universe and to you
And back to me in 3D
A fiction addiction that I'm empty
Convinced my mind that it was simply
Better to live alone
How crazy
Wasn't ready when it arrived
So I spent months inside a hurricane
That gave me hope then took it away
Clear blue skies don't mean that you're safe
I've learned now love is the only way
Get what you pray
Your words are the world that you create
All that you say
Your words are the world that you create
All of the pain
Your words are the world that you create
All of the joy
And rise you can have if your words create love
I used to believe that nothing hurts
I used to believe those stupid words
I found my peace in the quiet
This loss was a gift that took a while
To show itself it took a while
To see it there, to see it

Sapiens

Paddle to the chest
Laying on the ground
Violence in my city is making such a sound
I can hear your mama
I can hear mine too
I can hear the sirens it's so weird the sky is blue
Another memorial
Another group of friends
Soundbites, makeup artists and the cameramen
Line up for a picture that we know we'll see again
Weird that I can smell red roses in the air and wind
Its been raining so hard here
But it's not from the sky
We're not born for papers dear
And we're not born to die
Now I'm left to wonder
What you might have done or been
I can see your mama
And I think I see your kids
Sapiens, we know who you are
The only place that we can see you is in dreams
Every night to the sky
You blink
The only place that we can see you is in dreams
Every night to the sky
You leave
I don't want to see
The end

After the War

Standing here, after the war
Everyone is gone
Ran away, got out
And I for some reason stayed
Shell shocked, totally numb
Out of my body
Gray ash, __ rain
Pouring over my body
Can feel my legs searching for food
I wonder about tonight
I'm on my knees praying for forgiveness
To anyone who might be ____
I can't believe this happened, it doesn't feel real
I wish I'd been given a sign
And all around me these little missiles
Landed on a Sunday night
_______
Standing here, after the war
Everyone is gone
Ran away, got out
And I for some reason stayed
Now I know I gotta go
So that's what I'll do
But you can't blame me
For wanting to stop
And search for you

The Fall and the Swell

Polarizer plays melodic indie-prog that reminds one of Rush, Porcupine Tree, and Vertical Horizon. This album rocks, and you should check it out. We're particularly fond of their bass player. ;-)
