Lyrics Incubus - Mortify

Lyrics Incubus - Mortify

Alone in their destination
Wandering thru this violent life
A part of all misconception from their past
And now thrown out to the street to rot
Painful screams never heard
Hung on the wings of death
Germs are what they seem
For the rich they have no need
Left in the cold in crucial places
Feeling the horrors of real life
Places to places, no where to go
Agonizing pain and no one seems to care
Trying to revive 'em for a higher place
But no one seems to give any support
They hear their torment call
Disarmed from an endless war
Aimed by all kinds of poverty
Vagabonds you will find in types of societies
Resting in the underground of this materialistic
Inferno
Chorus
Mortify
In hostility of human injustice
Some say that they're not concerned
But never willing to take their burdens
Let's hope it's not your skin
Which is rotting of sins
Chorus
Mortify
In hostility of human injustice
They are living in a world of darkness
In which the light seems far away
No justice
Blamed for someone else's deed
Humiliation
Because they are poor
Treated harshly
Is this what they call the advancement of mankind
Why men want to rule the space
While they can't even solve the problems of the earth
Where is our humane sense now
So much said, but so little done
Blinded and devoured by our greed
Facing all the worries of our minds
We can't feel what is happening in the world around us
Turbulence is the conflict which we all must face
Crossing the line of stupidity and discrimination
Is one of the reasons which makes us ignore
The actual state of the moribund
Breaking down their hope to piece
Destitution increases in front of their own miserable lives
Chorus
Mortify
In hostility of human injustice
Days passed
Injured ones dying fast
Harsh temperatures
The whips of cold winds
Are frosting their bodies on the attack
Feeling the rigor mortis stage alive
Reaching to the ultimate muscular paralysis

Lyrics Incubus - Pantomime

Lyrics Incubus - Pantomime

In my fantasy, I'm a pantomime
I'll just move my hands and everyone sees what I mean
Words are too messy
And it's way past time
To end in my mouth

Paint my face white and tried
Reinvent the sea one wave at a time
Speak without my voice
And see the world by candlelight

I ain't afraid to let it out
I'm not afraid to take that fall
But I have found beyond all doubt
We say more by saying nothing at all

In my fantasy, no such thing as time
Minutes bleed into days, avant garde
Show me your heresies
And I'll show you mine
We only speak in pantomimes on this carpet ride

I ain't afraid to let it out
I'm not afraid to take that fall
But I have found beyond all doubt'
We say more by saying nothing at all

In my fantasy, you look good entwined
In my hair and skin and spit and sweat and spilled red wine
You're my deep secret, I'm your pantomime
I'll just move my hands I promise you'll see what I mean

Lyrics Incubus - Teardrop

Lyrics Incubus - Teardrop

Love, love is a verb
Love is a doing word
Fearless on my breath
Gentle impulsion
Shakes and makes me lighter
Fearless on my breath

Teardrop on the fire
Fearless on my breath

Nine night of matter
Black flowers blossom
Fearless on my breath
Black flowers blossom
Fearless on my breath

Teardrop on the fire
Fearless on my

Water is my eye
Most faithful mirror
Fearless on my breath
Teardrop on the fire of a confession
Fearless on my breath
Most faithful mirror
Fearless on my breath

Teardrop on the fire
Fearless on my breath

You're stumbling in the dark
You're stumbling in the dark

Lyrics Incubus - You Will Be A Hot Dancer

Lyrics Incubus - You Will Be A Hot Dancer

Damn, this situation's new to me, why?
I see a head afraid to be himself,
I bet he'd to have a little
Encouragement from the opposite,
Come that side of the floor, Yes!

Egg him along, make him feel at ease with himself,
Steal his clothes, leave him his shoes,
Let's get this marmaduke naked!
Makehim feel at ease,
Let's get this maraduke naked
So lose your head and go to pieces

Don't you make fun of me
Don't you make fun of me!
I'm gonna be, gonna be,
I'm gonna be a hot dancer!
Oh, now that the basics are down,
Converse amongst yourselves.

But, keep an eye out for the next complication.
In other words,
Grab the next motherfucker marmaduke,
Who refuses to submit to these pelvic ostentations.
I can't wait until the syllables bend.
Let's get this marmaduke naked,
Let's get this marmaduke naked
So lose your head and go to pieces!

Don't you make fun of me
Don't you make fun of me!
I'm gonna be,
Gonna be,
I'm gonna be a hot dancer!

Lyrics Incubus - The Answer

Lyrics Incubus - The Answer

(Mm, hemp?)
Step outside the bounds and take a
Big look at the times we live in.
Who appointed you?
You're just an avid image on my screen.
So take your bias point of view away from
My organic institution.
And now we D.A.R.E. to think ourselves!
The answer's waiting content.
(Look into your mind and guide.)
The answer's clear as day open your eyes!

Now kill me.
You killed the very thing that keeps us
Hanging on to our dear lives.
So, in a sense you bit the hand that feeds us
Just to kill your prophet now.
And with the coming generation at the torn seems
This is what you call progress

I call it shame!
The answer's waiting content.
(Look into your mind and guide.)
The answers clear as day open your eyes!

Now kill me.
What his law says.
What his law says.
What his law says may not be the stepping stone for you!
You killed the very thing that keeps us hanging on to our dear lives!

Lyrics Incubus - On The Burial Ground

Lyrics Incubus - On The Burial Ground

Die by violence in this world
Is nothing strange for us
With all those chemicals, wars and destructions
We do not know what mother nature has in store for us
The race for economy
Makes people forget
The lives around this planet
As men become more egoistic
Pretty soon, there will be nothing in this world
For men to spare
Stupidity
Causing pain
And sickness
To our world
Suffer
Chorus
On the burial ground
Is what this planet is all about
It's where we are right now
We might not have any future to be found
On this burial ground
We have nowhere to hide
Death is laughing at our crimes
And now we are feeling the effects
That the forces of nature has brought
The droughts, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions
It's getting worse than ever before
We can see the revenge of this planet upon us
As we keep hurting the sea, the soil and the air
Sometimes some catastrophic accidents happen
Causing death rate and we wonder from where
People are dying in civilizations of different lands
Because of drought
Occurrences of flooding everywhere
Killing innocent people and leaving others in despair
Abomination because people fear that all these events
Happen without any warning killing unexpectedly
Men subjugate the forces of nature
But we don't know that it's destroying us slowly
The animals are becoming extinct
Seas and rivers polluted by toxic waste
Combustible smoke
Factories are creating acid rains
That is burning our skins, damaging plantations
And soon it will us to death
Air pollution is disintegrating our atmosphere
Allowing the ultra-violet rays to burn the earth
Ad to provoke us fear
Chorus
On the burial ground
Is what this planet is all about
It's where we are right now
We might not have any future to be found
On this burial ground
We have nowhere to hide
Death is laughing at our cries
Soon some of the lives on this planet
Won't exist anymore
Because we won't be able to recreate
Some of the beauty that we had before
Nobody seems to care
About the future of our children's civilizations
We better act now
So they won't have a life of torment and frustration
Stupidity
Causing pain
Punishment for violating
The ecologic balance
Chorus
On the burial ground
Is what this planet is all about
It's where we are right now
We might not have any future to be found
On this burial ground
We have nowhere to hide
Death is laughing at our face
Cursed by men this world has become
We are building our own tombs
By eliminating our source of life
When blindly we continue the destructions
There's no future
Day by day we are reaching the end of our lives

Lyrics Incubus - Paper Shoes

Lyrics Incubus - Paper Shoes

I fly
I soar
This I
Adore

Then like a locomotive
The sound of your sorrow calls
I'm tired of the way that it feels
I only apologized to you to make you feel better
But I think I've outgrown that horsehair sweater

I?d rather be alone
You're about as reliable as paper shoes in bad weather
But pain will roll off like water on feather

you'd fly
You'd soar

But then like a locomotive
The sound of your sorrow comes
I'm tired of the way that it feels
I only apologized to you to make you feel better
But I think I've outgrown that horsehair sweater

I?d rather be on my own
You're about as reliable as paper shoes in bad weathers
But pain will roll off like water on feathers

I'm tired of the way that it feels
I only apologized to you to make you feel better
But I think I've outgrown that horsehair sweater

I?d rather be on my own
You're about as reliable as paper shoes in bad weathers
But pain will roll off like water on feathers

Lyrics Incubus - Anything

Lyrics Incubus - Anything

I met the day
Feeling cheaper than usual
I guess you could say that I'm on sale
So take what you can while you can
Shop now intensive
I could snap at any moment
And I might feel more expensive
Oh

[Chorus]
I don't owe anything to you
I don't owe anything to you
You don't you know me half as well as you think you do
I don't owe anything
Anything to you

I met the mirror
The plastic hanging from my ear
And in that moment I went unfazed
So take what you can while you can
Less conscious only means more gold
I could snap at any moment and remember
I was not born to be sold

[Chorus: x2]

Lyrics Incubus - Rogues

Lyrics Incubus - Rogues

I'm keeping an eye on the future, an eye on the past
And the present in my pocket, just in case I need a door
Into a brave new world where all solutions
End up with my head buried to my neck in sand

Enough, enough

Bowing down to disillusion
Hats off and applause to rogues and evolution
The ripple effect is too good not to mention
If you're not affected, you're not paying attention
It?s too good, too good, not to have an effect

I'm keeping an eye on the pulse, an ear to the track
And penance in a locket, dropping from the highest floor
When it hits ground I watch it smash to pieces
Songs of liberation echo from the dust, the dust

Enough

Bowing down to disillusion
Hats off and applause to rogues and evolution
The ripple effect is too good not to mention
If you're not affected, you're not paying attention
It?s too good, too good, not to have an effect

Enough, enough, enough, enough, enough
Enough, enough, enough, enough, enough

Bowing down to disillusion
Hats off and applause to rogues and revolution
The ripple effect is too good not to mention
If you're not affected, you're not paying attention
It?s too good, too good, too good, yeah

Lyrics Incubus - Divided

Lyrics Incubus - Divided

You are divided
For now, For now

You are divided
For now, For now

You are divided

I have a wish, I want to learn
I wish to see, and I want to affirm
That what I see in reflection day to day
Isn't all I am

Say what you see
When you close your eyes and glide
The only shell who could
Circumvent the tide
Sheds of himself
That tells us what he knows
And a piece of him will stay
When the rest of him
Goes

You are divided
For now, For now

You are divided

You are divided
For now, For now

You are divided

I have a wish, I want to learn
I wish to see, and I want to affirm
That what is here, broken record everyday
Isn't all there is

Say what you see, when you close your eyes and glide
The only shell, to Circumvent the tide
Shells out himself, And tells us what he knows
A piece of him will stay
A piece of him to stay, helps me grow

The piece of you
That makes you, you
That part stays
You are divided

The piece of you
That makes you, you
That part stays
You are divided
Ahhhhh, ahhhh

You're only divided

The piece of you
That makes you, you
That piece stays
You are divided

The piece of you
That makes you, you
Don't be afraid

Lyrics Incubus - Take Me To Your Leader

Lyrics Incubus - Take Me To Your Leader

What if your brain,
Unexpectedly and suddenly,
Picked out things to flip around
And view a lot differently?
What if blue sky,
All of a sudden turned a purple hue?
We would shit a brick the size of all of it

What if?
What if I was just daydreaming?
What if I lived in a pear?
What if my watch read 4:20 every hour, every day?
You can bet your dollar I'd be happy!
I forgot to remember,
I forgot to remember my pain.

Take me to your leader
Or die by the fly guy!
What if mothballs,
Hangin' around too close to microwaves
Suddenly woke up and said,
"Take me to your leader
Or die by fly guy!
He'll push ya' out,
No wings attached!"
Just do as I say, no mistake,
He'll blow away.

What if I was daydreaming?
What if I lived in a pear?
What if I had a mustard drenched cucumber
Tied to my leg and I
Did not want my pants to get dirty?
What if this, what if that?!
Go! I forgot to remember
I forgot to remember my pain. Take me to your leader
Or die by the fly guy!

I forgot to remember my, pain!
My pain!
Forgot to inject my, cocaine!
Forgot to apply my, rogaine!
Forgot to remember, my pain!

I never think, I never thought,
Oh maybe I'm insane!
I think I like being
Way the fuck out of my brain!

I forgot to remember,
I forgot to remember my pain.
Take me to your leader
Or die by the fly guy!

Lyrics Incubus - New Skin

Lyrics Incubus - New Skin

At first I see an open wound
infected and disastrous
It breathes chaotic catastrophe
it cries to be renewed
Its tears are the color of anger,
they dry to form a scab
To the touch, its stiff and resilient,
underneath, the new skin breathes
As outwardly cliche as it may seem,
yes, something under the surface says,
"C'est la vie"
It is a circle, there is a plan
dead skin will atrophy itself to start again
Look closely at the open wound
see past what covers the surface
Underneath chaotic catastrophe,
creation takes stage.
Its all been saved
with exception for the right parts
When will we be new skin?
Its all been seen with exception for what could be
When will we be new skin?
Fallacious cognitions
spewed from televisions
do mold our decisions.
So stop and take a look,
and you'll see what I see now

Lyrics Incubus - Clean

Lyrics Incubus - Clean

Today, everything was fine
Until roundabout, quarter to nine
I suddenly found myself in a bind
Was it something I said?
Something I read and manifested that's getting you down

Don't you dare come to bed with that ambiguous look in your eye
I'd sooner sleep by an open fire and wake up fried

Say what you will
Say what you mean
You could never offend
Your dirty words come out clean

Tomorrow, what price will I pay?
Could I make it all up to you by serving coffee for two in bed?
Would you then gimme the time of day?

I need a map of your head
Translated into English
So I can learn not to make you frown
You'd feel better if you'd vent
Put your frustrations into four letter words
And let them out on mine
The most weathered ears in town

So say what you will
Say what you mean
You could never offend
Your dirty words come out clean

Lyrics Incubus - Oil And Water

Lyrics Incubus - Oil And Water

You and I are like oil and water
We've been trying, trying, trying
To mix it up

We've been dancing on a volcano
We've been crying, crying, crying
The oh blackened souls
This wouldn't be the first time
It will not be the last time
There is no better soul that can shelter this weather

I've been smiling with birds on my shoulder
I've been dying, dying, dying
To let them go

Well this wouldn't be the first time
It will not be the last time
There is no better soul that could shelter this weather
Babe this wouldn't be the first time
It will not be the last time
We tried to believe everything could get better

We've been
Lying to each other, hey babe
Let's just call it, call it, call it
What it is

Oil and water, wouldn't be the first time
Oil and water, wouldn't be the first time
Oil and water, wouldn't be the first time

Lyrics Incubus - Crowded Elevator

Lyrics Incubus - Crowded Elevator

Fifteen minutes to six and fourteen floors to go
Thirteen suited strangers make a crowded elevator slow
And I've got a million words and phases on the tip of my tongue
For the only non-stranger next to me, soon she'll know
(let ?em stare)

If I could
I think I would give in
And let you in on how I feel
I need to spill
Let it all out right now
And expose every inch in front of them

Twelve more floors
And your eyes in mine are all I need to come clean
Or should I wait until the lobby
And spare the lives of some twenty-six nervous eyes
Being occupied by the little red numbers passing by?
If I wait one minute longer
I think I will die
(let ?em stare)

If I could
I think I would give in
And let you in on how I feel
I need to spill
Let it all out right now
Expose every inch in front of them

You help me to feel, see and know why all the while I've been so inquisitive
I can't go back ?cause now I know
How it feels to open up and breathe

Lyrics Incubus - Pardon Me

Lyrics Incubus - Pardon Me

A decade ago
I never thought I would be
At twenty-three
On the verge of spontaneous combustion
Wo-is-me

But I guess that it comes with the territory
An ominous landscape of never ending calamity
I need you to hear
I need you to see that I have had all that I can take
And exploding seems like a definite possibility to me

So pardon me while I burst into flames
Pardon me while I burst into flames
I've had enough of the world and it's people's mindless games
So pardon me while I burn and rise above the flame
Pardon me, pardon me, I'll never be the same

Not two days ago
I was having a look in a book
And I saw a picture of a guy fried up above his knee
I said, 'I can relate?'
Cause lately I've been thinking of combustication
As a welcomed vacation
From the burdens of the planet earth

Like gravity, hypocrisy, and the perils of being in 3-D
And thinking so much differently

So pardon me while I burst into flames
I've had enough of the world and it's people's mindless games
So pardon me while I burn and rise above the flame
Pardon me, pardon me, I'll never be the same

Like gravity, hypocrisy, and the perils of being in 3-D
And thinking so much differently

Lyrics Incubus - Shaft!

Lyrics Incubus - Shaft!

Who am I?
I am I.
Who are you?
You are me!
Why can't I get it straight?
No!
Why can't I see it straight?
Shaft!

We can't let you,
we can't let you go.
Shaft! Shaft! Shaft! Shaft!
I'll get a new one, then!
I take a look, a look around, gas limited.
I take a look around,
I tell myself I live again!
I take a look, a look around, gas limited.
I take a look around, I tell myself I live again!

Why can't I get it straight?
No!
Why can't I see it straight?
Shaft!
We can't let you,
we can't let you go.

Up until this day,
I take a look, a look around, gas limited.
Up untile this day,
I look around, I tell myself I live again!
Shaft

where's Lorena when we need her?

Lyrics Incubus - Consequence

Lyrics Incubus - Consequence


Blink and you miss a beat

Keep one of your eyes open at all times
Think that you're on the brink?
The shit hasn't even begun to hit the fan
Consequence you'll see will be stranger than a gang of drunken mimes
Situation has a stink
Better clear the air before your son becomes a man

Blink

Everything's been augmented
You've been left so far behind
Think, for sure, next time you should wear a pair of eyes in the back of your
head
Consequence you've seen has been stranger than sci-fi of any kind
Situation baffles me
I guess it's true you are too one of the walking dead

You better think fast!
?Cause you never know what's comin' around the bend
You better not blink!
For consequence is a bigger word than you think
It's bigger than you and me

Lyrics Incubus - Underground Killers

Lyrics Incubus - Underground Killers

They kill for a reason
They'll strike anyone
Doesn't matter how old or young
Pay'em big cash, they'll give'em a slash
Explain how it should be done
A shot in the head
The man cut in half
Tortured 'till death
You'll never see him back

[Chorus:]
Underground killers
They are everywhere
Killing for money
They don't care
Leaving their victims covered with blood
Underground killers
Will make a mess
Whose killing plans have been set
Murdering their victims without mercy
They promise to make it worse
Tell'em their next mission
And they'll give'em death
Burn him alive
A high voltage jolt
A stab in the back
They pomise you'll see him dead

[Lead]

Slay the victim to death
Dead bodies everywhere
Brutality is their authority
Killers are not afraid of death

[Chorus:]
Underground killers
They are everywhere
Killing for money
They don't care
Leaving their victims covered with blood
Underground killers
Will make a mess
Whose killing plans have been set
Murdering their victims without mercy
They promise to make it worse
More massacre for the long future generation
Their customers are the only police source of information
You've paid'em in full
For the dirty job they've done
Now you must die
Like the other ones.

Lyrics Incubus - A Crow Left Of The Murder

Unlearn me
Ditch what I read
Behind what I heard

Look. Find. Free.
Yet! Do You get it yet?
Do You get it?!

From here on it's instinctual
Even straight roads meander
Every piece contains a map of it all!
It all!

Evidence
In the march of the ants
Pulse of the sea

Look. Find. Free.
Yet! Do You get it yet?
Do You get it?!

From here on it's instinctual
Even straight roads meander
Every piece contains a map of it all!
It all!

Out of the line (and) indivisible
A crow left of the murder
Every piece contains a map of it all!
It all!

Everything I wanted to know
Everything I wanted to see

Unlearn Me
Do You get it yet?
Look, Find, Free
Do you get it yet?
