Karma

Karma, Karma don't be late
We need the magic to ease the pain
don't shut yourself up, shoot your heart like a gun
before it's more illegal than killing someone
Do some damage to it while you are on the run
Karma, Karma stole my faith
and the loving arms that keep us safe
I won't ask for something more than what you gave to me
no wonders now, just truth and honesty
Karma, Karma won't let go
movements like liquid, drowns you effortless and slow
confronts the aching brain by twisting what it means
a searchful sorrow howl trapped inside of me
Samsara flow
Karma, Karma there is no fate
just fear of what I could do with a knife to my face
my mouth is paper dry every time you move
and in the back curve of my mind I am kissing you

Funeral Song
04:08
|
|

Smile and wake. Lean back you're in my way
I lost control, told the boy he's getting old
And all over your body, stuck in the mud and waiting for me
to paralyse myself in sleep
And my friends came around, and addressed this one by one
Leave her alone, no no. The time was on their lips, in her lungs
Now I am justified in spending those days with you inside
Feeling around this construction site hoping to find you there
And I can sense it in you, like she could sense the crushed pills in her meat
others will, but I refuse to eat
And my friends knew it all by assessing how I walked
leave her alone, no no. The time was on their lips, in her lungs.

Sugar Prison
03:38
|
|
||
I'm alone now, I'm in prison
Lick your freedom make your tongue numb
I'm inside now, your sugar prison.
Lick your freedom make your tongue numb, make your tongue numb
I'm trapped now, inside it
In silence, I hear the call and away from here down we go
He turned his back on me while facing the darkness
You can eat my, you can eat my
You can eat my terror
Now I'm on the highway
We're going swimming with our fingers alight
with the guilty glow, can't relax all clean tonight
But it's peaceful and a secret
My heart beats to the call and away from me down I go
I turned my back on me while facing the sweetness
you can eat my, you can eat my
You can eat my terror
Now I'm on the highway

I Hope You Die
02:25
|
|
||
I became a mother, a decision maker. Depended on for survival.
I became a machine in detecting empathy. You are a threat to me and everyone I love.
And I sincerely hope you die, to feel you underneath my feet.
I sincerely hope you die, I'd breathe a sigh of relief.
I could make it happen to you, if I had one goal to achieve.
If the fortune angels had mercy on me.
This wouldn't be another kick in the shins, I don't want you going on to begin again.
And I sincerely hope you die, to feel you underneath my feet.
I sincerely hope you die, I'd breathe a sigh of relief.
You're going down, I hope you die.

Kind Beast
03:16

|

I'm a kind beast hiding from the city and the streets. I mean well and I want to be in the middle of it. But every time I move my paw I knock your perfumes off the mirror shelf and onto the floor.
And I miss you, everyone with innocence, playing, singing. Even though I crush ant bodies just by turning over in my bed.
There's a low light that I write my postcards under. Sometimes I pause from writing and look very hard. I see little wings dancing underneath the yellow glow.
And I bless them, everyone with innocence, playing, singing. Just keep wishing that my light doesn't burn their tiny heads.
And I miss you, everyone with innocence, playing, singing. Even though I crush ant bodies. I miss you, everyone with innocence, playing, singing. Even though I crush ant bodies just by turning over in my bed.

Beyond the Sun (Amebix)
04:17
|
|
||
Well you never flew the colours, and I never saw you bend a knee to any man. But you were never short of brothers, there was always someone holding out a helping hand.
Well, I remember the summer, we were riding to a show and our road went on forever so we were riding nice and slow and then I heard the band play. And the sun broke through the sky. It was a fine day for a funeral But I never wanted you to die. No one ever wanted you to die.
We were meeting at the crossroads when I saw you wipe out. Some metal box just slipped down right into the side of you. I was screaming but nothing was coming out. They always said you were a dark horse because you rode the land alone. But you know I think the real reason was that you were always riding home.
And your road goes on forever. Your sun will always shine. One day we'll be together when we reach the final line. One day I'll turn to you and call you friend, will you meet me on the other side. Seven million miles beyond the sun.
