Horrors and the Shakes
03:52
|
|||
The sun finds its way to the back of my cornea
Burning off the last serotonin left over
Ghosts in the room dance around the corona
Dawn moves ahead of an evening abhorrent
Terror in the veins for the reaper to own ya
Picking up the phone but I don’t wanna phone ya
Apologies if I ignore ya or bore ya
To death this room’s a mess and now I must confess
I’m crawling out of my skin right now
Crawl cross a room of invisible spiders
The reaper, he lays down his sickle to spite us
Wondering if they will ever invite us
Again, we wore it thin and now I’m…
Alone again, alone with the horror
Horrors and the shakes, I got the horrors and the shakes
Alone again, alone with the horror
Horrors and the shakes, I got the horrors and the shakes
Alone again, alone with the horror
Oh
Turn on the TV to drown out the whispers
That bleed through so dire, the wires and resistors
Blisters. I make fists as my blood divorces
There’s food in the fridge but there ain’t likely choices
I don’t know what to say, my vitals are in disarray
A V8, a cheese stick and now I’m gonna be sick
I’m crawling out of my skin right now
Apologies if I ignore ya or bore ya
To death this room’s a mess and now I’m…
Alone again, alone with the horror
Horrors and the shakes, I got the horrors and the shakes
Alone again, alone with the horror
Horrors and the shakes, I got the horrors and the shakes
Alone again, alone with the horror
Oh, and the sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-shakes
Terror in the veins for the reaper to own ya
Picking up the phone but I don’t wanna phone ya
Apologies if I ignore ya or bore ya
To death this room’s a mess and now I’m…
Alone again, alone with the horror
Horrors and the shakes, I got the horrors and the shakes
Alone again, alone with the horror
Horrors and the shakes, I got the horrors and the shakes
Alone again, alone with the horror
Oh, and the sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-shakes
Alone again, alone with the horror
Horrors and the shakes, I got the horrors and the shakes
Alone again, alone with the horror
Horrors and the shakes, I got the horrors and the shakes
Alone again, alone with the horror
Oh, and the sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-shakes

Machines
03:32
|
|||
The machines are tired of thinking
And the screen is tired of blinking
And our brains are tired of reading about themselves
The data is tired of winning
And this room is tired of spinning
Everybody wants to be somebody else
The drunks are tired of drinking
And that ship is tired of sinking
But we keep on going back to the well
Politicians tired of winking
And that shit is tired of stinking
The machines are tired of thinking
The machines are tired of thinking
The machines are tired of thinking
The machines are tired of thinking

Clean For A Day
04:05
|
|||
I ain't so poor I can't afford a beer
But I ain't got the money to get out of here
I think I'll buy myself another beer
Ain't got time for pissing here, no
Short time to live, long time to be dead
Radio silence in my head
I ain't got time to be dropping dead
I paint a picture of love instead
Might need it, clean for a day
We need it, clean for a day
Keep it greasy, keep it cavalier
And take that shit to the auctioneer
Then go get yourself another beer
Take a ride across the hemisphere
Short time to live, long time to be dirt
Bury me in my favorite shirt
I ain't got time for feeling hurt
I ain’t got time to rule the world, no
Might need it, clean for a day
We need it, clean for a day
Believe it, clean for a day
Might take it slow, I don't know
Might take it slow, I don't know
Might take it slow, I don't know
Might take it slow, I don't know

Dyatlov's Pass
04:55
|
|||
Ivan take the rations
Leave the fuel for me
Eyes upon the horizon
Devil came in a dream
Abandon mission
Abandon protocol
Time is up, cut the shelter
Take the ax from me
Night is gone, the light is upon us
Make a run for the trees
Our story’s living
But they will never...
Know
What we know
No, because we’ll be
Face down in the snow
Time to die on the mountain
I can hear the screams
Blood in the snow, blood in the snow
A million years, a million years
Our story’s living
But they will never...
Know
What we know
No, because we’ll be
Face down in the snow
Our feet facing home

Phantoms Creep
03:16
|
|||
A mad man with a menacing power
Attempts to check, his defiance dour
The clock winds to the dooming hour
Foreign spies, chaos to make
Meddling from an enemy state
The element to de-animate, colossal
Buried deep by the phantom creeps
G-men paid off by foreign spies
Don't fall asleep as the phantoms creep
See through their disguise
A dormant war in the cold to flower
Treasonous, his relations sour
A chapter turns, the crashing towers go lower
The mad man in a furious rage
While the press further agitates
Always someone else to blame, so low
Evil schemes of the phantom creeps
Sowing hatred with fear and lies
Don’t fall asleep as this shadow creeps
Over our lives, all our lives
Megalomaniac
Will he win in the final act?
Tune in next week for the sequel
Buried deep by the phantom creeps
G-men paid off by foreign spies
Don't fall asleep as the phantoms creep
See through their disguise
Evil schemes of the phantom creeps
Sowing hatred with fear and lies
Don’t fall asleep as this shadow creeps
Over all of our lives

Troglodyte
05:49
|
|||
Dead end streets and let him prey
See him wallow, don't delay
To the city, true decay
If you follow through today
It's alright inside the cave
It's the fight inside his his brain
It's almighty, it is gray
It's the fight inside his brain
It's the fight inside his brain
It's the fight inside his brain
He makes games to exorcize
Demons who refuse to die
Tarot cards and ouija eye
Warm the milk and kill the fly
Little piggy is okay
Deep inside his darkest day
The hounds have entered to the fray
It's the fight inside his brain
It's the fight inside his brain
It's the fight inside his brain
Reconstructing mother’s womb
It's his playground, it's his tomb
Taste the sickness, feel the swoon
Born to lick the bitter spoon
Tune the TV, spin the dial
While he tries to reconcile
In his courtroom, try the trial
Judge and jury, troglodyte
It's the fight inside his brain
It's the fight inside his brain
It's the fight inside his brain
It's the fight inside his...

Separate Tomorrow
04:04
|
|||
Sitting in the parlor
We could walk away
Separate tomorrow today
Separate the manics
Separate the state
We could have tomorrow today
We could have a party
We could have a day
We could be the ones to set it straight
Separation is maddening
Medication is gravity
Visitation is strategy
Seroquel, Diazepam
Alone with our illusions
Triage has a wait
We are happy when we medicate
Separate sedations
Catatonic state
We can see the guards are at the gate
We could have a party
We could have a day
We could be the ones to set it straight
Separation is maddening
Medication is gravity
Visitation is strategy
Thorazine, Depakote
Separation is maddening
Occupation is failing me
Visitation is Saturday
Tardive Dyskinesia
Separation is maddening
Occupation is failing me
Visitation is strategy
Visitation is Saturday
Visitation is strategy
Visitation is Saturday
This is the schizoid republic
No love I see, rise above it
This is the schizoid republic
This is the schizoid republic
This is the schizoid republic
This is the schizoid republic

The Nighttimes Beacon, New York
The Nighttimes are the right times for melting faces in Beacon, NY. Five veterans of the Brooklyn rock scene who found each other in the Hudson Valley, The Nighttimes play heavy psych-garage. Equipped with fuzz pedals and Farfisas, thumping backbeats, and soaring vocals, the Nighttimes ride a rocket fueled Camaro through a spiraling sunset and stomp their way across the dark matter of outer space. ... more
