EARTHTONE9 LYRICS

1. Tat Twam Asi

tat twam asi
lost in a wilderness
i will build a fire
i become a fire
to swim in the waters
burrowing and bellowing
into a consciousness
kicking against
yet we're needing to want this
sucking and bleeding
now knee deep in substance
pulling and dragging
fail to allow ourselves
as we move to consciousness
as we move through consciousness
as we move to consciousness
driven by need for transecendence
tat twam asi
focus on the focusless
focusless is the focus
look into the self
one name branded deep
burning and singing
the markings of the soul
turning more turning
we assimilate ourselves
needing the push
a sea of flailing limbs
push to create
an equalibrium
as we move to consciousness
as we move through consciousness
as we move to consciousness
driven by need for transecendence

2. Evil Crawling I

left faithless
in the age of cain - no love lost
left lifeless
the lifeless have the key - belief-less
belief is gone the dogs come
seeking the truth to serve no use
no-one can wield the weapon
(take me a-way)
we must flow as
waters flow as
rivers flow and
mountains can rise
the seers
the knowers still know - few of us
the others
unable to process the soundbytes
spirit is torn the dogs come
laying in shreds shrouding the heads
of heroes who've been martyred
(take me a-way)
we must flow as
waters flow as
rivers flow and
mountains can rise
left faithless
in the age of cain - no love lost
left lifeless
the lifeless have the key - belief-less

3. P.R.D Chaos

lie to me, for a short while
lay with me, for a short while
i will wear my fears for you
i will wear my fears for you

lay me down there's nothing done
closed eyes bring change
too great, lost sometimes
closed eyes bring change
too great, lost sometimes
i will wear my fears for you

ask a question
not just any
what am i, about being lost

closed eyes bring change
too great, lost sometimes
i will wear my fears for you

lie to me, for a short while
lay with me, for a short while
i will wear my fears for you
i will wear my fears for you
last caress and nothing done

ask a question
not just any
what am i, about being lost
ask a question, question, question
***live version of 'p.r.d. chaos' has karl shouting
"raging fucking speedhorn!" at the end***

4. Approx.Purified

lacking the integrity of function
there are only four walls
no sane man could call this a habitat
no sane man could call this a habitat
lacking the integrity of design
there are only four walls
the essence of conran is everywhere
the essence of conran is everywhere

forwards is not forwards
backwards is not backwards
there is not enough space
there is not enough peace

lacking the integrity of function
there are only four walls
but the testament will always still stand
but the testament will always still stand
lacking the fundament of a need
there are only four walls
and now there is hollowing of the stem
and now there is hollowing of the stem

swarming like the locust
exist like the virus
there is not enough space
reduction does not cease

we are a part of the process not instigators of it's progress

lacking the integrity of function
there are only four walls
no sane man could call this a habitat
no sane man could call this a habitat
lacking the integrity of design
there are only four walls
the essence of conran is everywhere
the essence of conran is everywhere

5. Walking Day

a circle - dwell as part
the cycle - dwell as part
to flourish - live within
to nourish - live within
so harvest the fallen
return what is given
carry forth the knowledge
be guided by the wise

why can't you see why can't you see
why can't you see why can't you say
bury the blessings had
drift back through ages past
to revere the walkers
but their mark we erase
cast shadows on the land
the oceans will return
from oceans be reborn
the fallen will return

why can't you see why can't you see
why can't you see why can't you say

6. Star Damage (For Beginners)

i might not notice
so come - just slip it in and see if i
you know i want this, so see what fits
you smell success
it's just that i can only smell excess
can you navigate
no please fuck me and leave a bitter taste
there is so much glass
the glass, it's nothing but a lid of shards
but should we break it, when it's self imposed
but should we break this, mountain
i see it through mohammeds eyes
so navigate me
fuck me again i like that salted taste

take a piece you've earned it
take a pound you've earned it
i can feel the flesh burn, burning
take a piece you've earned it
take a pound you've earned it
i can feel the flesh burn, burning

i'll be your vessel
i'll take that solid fist and then some more
don't mean to argue, i know you're right
hey spit or swallow, one fifth,
you are lubed and up in me
so hey let's fuck now
you're the daddy, we owe it all to you

take a piece you've earned it
take a pound you've earned it
i can feel the flesh burn, burning
take a piece you've earned it
take a pound you've earned it
i can feel the flesh burn, burning

7. Ni9e

8. Yellow Fever

[lyrics by ishmael lewis]

come one, come all
come one come all
chalk your eyes
blood for gall
blood for gall
this isn't the same world
your children are offerings
bow down
give thanks for their scant sufferings
chalk your eyes
the bigger the god so small the man
just this wooden horse remains

is this what you fought for?
is this what you fought for?
green order

this isn't the same world
this isn't the same world
she lies, sweet as the nurses veil
drink deep red ragged
this isn't your daughter
chalk your eyes
the bigger the god so small the man
just this wooden horse remains

is this what you fought for?
is this what you fought for?
green order

you can blame the weatherman
but it's pouring down inside
torn apart by goats wool
while the golden goose hangs high
you can blame the weatherman
but it pours inside

green order green order
green order green order

9. Alpha-Hi

eyes down
for a circle
for a while
eyes down

i lie i lie
i lie i lie

not that these dreams will betray me

dig in
for the long-haul
wear a smile
dig in

i lie i lie
i lie i lie

see the shit rise to the surface

i lie i lie
i lie i lie

not that these dreams will betray me

10. Binary 101

viewed from the darkest hole
outward face looking up
despair viewed down on, down on , down on
marked by a deeper scar
find the light i look for, look for, look for
these scars cause falls

i have need for outward
do i have to wait?
wait for this
i begin the long climb back on this rough terrain - long

dragged down to a new depth
balance lost again, again, again
these scars cause falls

i have need for outward
do i have to wait?
wait for this
i begin the long climb back on this rough terrain - long
