Going Tribal
(An album intended to highlight tribal beats and rhythms, while also mixed with heavy shoegaze at times.)
GOING TRIBAL1 - Sacrifice to Flag (v1) Alive, forward the rewind Life flashing, barely realized The freeway hugs the burn With sunlight reassured Revivals, skimmed headlines Of the paradox scripted (chorus) Lost the placement Passive time spent Another riot Priced your knowledge (v2) Petty crimes undermined Denied the danger, capsized Golden codes, cheap supply Spoiled safety of visions vile Final edits true to life Restored the civic sacrifice (outro) Alive, suffered dead leg See you at the end See you when the muse recalls In light anxious
2 - Bloody Fingers (v1) Broke upon the felt again World revolves oblivious As kids they often made that wish And blew the sacred offerings Casualties anonymous (v2) Casinos, gods and pseudonyms World beyond the means again Like children flipping off the wind Census in the hourglass Remedies like contraband (bridge) Replayed to spill out Vulnerable recaps (chorus) Sacred surgery, bloody fingers Tamed kaleidoscope, bloody fingers Afraid to testify with bloody fingers Dreams drowned out of mind, bloody fingers (v3) Lunacy's consent to breed Aborted, stale economy Forged in the infirmary Vigilant disharmony Like the anarchist's conformity (outro) Is this beginning or the end Is this beginning or the end
3 - When the Sun Goes Down (v1) What happens to the family Swept beneath the apple tree When the sun goes down (v2) What happens to the history The unforgiving symmetry When the sun goes down (v3) When warriors reform the blade Leave them all a little taste As the sun goes down (chorus) The constant reliance On inactive extinction Fading the fable Cursing the feeding (v4) What happens to the refugee Iridescent fantasies When the sun goes down (v5) What happens to their circuitry Militant trajectories When the sun goes down (v6) Cretin's cry for liberty Deep inside the memory As the sun goes down
4 - Life Neutral (v1) Daylight transformed Raised in the cradle torn Shallow forgiveness cheap Flip the switch neutral (v2) Demagogues drain madness The idiot's true burden Money manufactured Creeps the torch resistant (chorus) Banking on the vision Death by designer Looking for a sign of life (v3) Emergence in emergency rooms Needles to christen Diseased by commercials Fucking the horde (outro) Looking for a sign of life Looking for a sign of life
5 - The Dance (v1) Dance of resentment Dance of the wicked Dance of believers Dance off the fever Dance up your spine Dance of commitment Dance of the meek Dance to the surface (v2) Dance of the heretic Dance of the conquest Dance in the garden Dance with no warning Dance of the ancients Dance of the passing Dance and be counted Dance to the hollow
6 - Going Tribal (v1) Wake the numbed, shapeshifting Throat singer, introspective Sky under, sky under Sky under, sky under (v2) Love the sickness, minds fatal Travel high, vengeance vital Sky under, sky under Sky under, sky under (v3) Kill the constant, lies stomached Threats leveled, unelected Sky under, sky under Sky under, sky under (outro) Sky under (when the sun distorts) Sky under (when the stars revolt) Sky under (when the river draws) Sky under (when the moon dissolves)
7 - Evil Eye (v1) Relief by tarot cards And cults of bloodlust Mute the doctor Speaks on the heart of man Spike the morning's surrender in bomb shelters (v2) Anointed hawk wings Thinning consumption Stark antiquities Midnight linking catharsis The forest searched for melting visions (v3) Push beliefs aside To stare the evil eye Luck without the branch False anatomy The end never complete
8 - Proverbs (v1) Through the muck Hard to hustle with trauma Firing rocks at the sky Before it's prescribed (v2) Nurture the wild Muscle the descent What thoughts can't provide When you're always improvised (v3) Sabotage on solid ground Reconstructed storylines What can healing provide When you can’t feel the fire (outro) At the end, you might find yourself At the end, you might strike the light At the end, truth divisible At the end, going tribal
