The Agonist - Ideomotor lyrics

rate me

we are but prisoners

of waterfalls

we stand on broken ribs.

Faces to the glass,

we drown.

Heavy mileage on our minds,

we wrap the earth in cerebral folds.

And the corpse we carry really

is a weight we'd like to throw.

We love the strange new animals,

we love the fearful plants

but we all surrender

turpentine to rid us of our pasts.

You would walk the rotten hillside,

you would taste the clouds bellow.

But the world you walk

is running water through

valleys in palms of hands.

We all know we will be

respected by greed and death

and loathed by clarity

Jettisoned

emotions flood the banks

the valleys overflow.

If only

memory served us better,

we could swim to dry our souls.

We're suicidal swans.

We're silence,

in throats we creep.

You'll know us by

the shaking ground

when ideas emerge from the deep.

Dolphins have more dignity.

A sleepwalking helicopter,

gracefully deceased.

Beauty makes the blind weep.

To describe a song in color

is a portrait's symphony

The light drips on closed eyelids

through holes in weathered sheets.

Curiosity stands up where

strange faces hide and seek,

swarming the webs of electricity

that dragnet the city;

confusing power with duty

in a place with trees like origami.

Monstrous theories dance with nightmares

on the horizon absolute equinox.

Listening to history in the present,

planets approach with lupine walks.

We're suicidal swan.

We're silence,

in throats we creep.

You'll know us by

the shaking ground

when ideas emerge from the deep.

We're suicidal swan.

We're silence,

in throats we creep.

You'll know us by

the shaking ground

when ideas emerge from the deep.

Offering flowers to the dirt

like paralyzed dancers we decline

and smile and flee.

But, with years of past devotion,

the crushing atmosphere

is bitter-sweet.

Haaaa.......

(SOLO)

In my waterfall,

here,

in hearth, i'll slowly disappear.

(SOLO)
