The ghosts and the serpents are all gathered at the door
awaiting a hope conceived in fear
you dont know what you are in for
No you dont
You cant see what is coming even though it's screaming in your face
you sever it's head two more they will rise up in it's place
You dont know what you are in for
you cant see just beyond the horizon
When we were young our hopes so high
we held the future in our hands \now we have become the enemy
its such a shame we are running out of time to change

Atomic Daydream
02:58

Traveling through life days and nights trying to battle the elements
what i got is what i get for thinking that i could ever change any of this
but i gotta stay sharp keep my eyes on the prize
or they are gonna try and take it from me
awakened by the lies i rise pull the blinds
finally i can see everything
the wind blows my windows
into pieces
blood now soaks into the carpet
traveling through life i reside in the moind of the optimist
feeding on memories as i'm trying to find all the frequencies in the dissonance
if i've heard them once before i swear to god i must have heard them a million times
resonant screams and cry's which vie for control of our souls but we cant let go no we cant let go o o
the wind blows my windows
into pieces
blood now flows
and i can see no reason
to forsake
this longing for a soft green daydream
as i wade into the darkness

We Are Not Alone
03:57
|

|
Waiting for something to happen
something to turn this all around
pick me up off of the ground
trying to answer these questions
these questions are keeping me up at night
leaving me here paralyzed
I can not tell you what i see
the words are escaping me
not sure exactly what happened
how things possibly ended up this way
perhaps there's nothing i can say
i'm always awake so late at night
to the realization that i am a fool
perhaps there's nothing i can do
but i am not alone
we are not alone

Fields
02:57
|
|||
|
Essence pure as the driven snow
I was wrong to let go
Take it in
Lose control
All night long
Until its all gone
Restless days breed helpless nights
I rejoice and take flight
Over fields of mirrored glass
Hours pass
And then the dawn becomes my home

Echo

Place the mask upon your face
And run like a gazelle
As if no one can tell
You're running from yourself
This is my final call for reason
Now the ship has run ashore
There will be no more transgressions
No more
Mercy
You sleep s peacefully
You will weep
But don't weep for me
Never can this be undone
Never will this be undone
The promise was broken
Never to be mentioned again
So never speak of it again
Never speak of it again

Vampires

|
As a man makes a stand
Shot down on command
They saw, they knew
They lied to you while they were tightening the noose
Now try and make it out alive
Wave goodbye
As we arrived at the back of the line
We could see the pyres at the top of the hill on fire
So we kneeled and prayed
Though forsaken we still wish to be
Forgiven
Though we wont be saved
Unless we save ourselves

Orbiting
03:36
|

|
Arrive in a state of disillusionment
Will you survive the isolation of regret
Try to keep me in mind
When the ocean comes to claim that which has always been mine
As you will always be mine
We live in times of doubt and apathy
We give our hearts
Though we do so reluctantly
And i cant accept the thought that this
Has only been in vane
And we have been left here to decide whether or not
To do it all again
Lets do it all again

These blue eyes wont cry
In time this will pass
Right through the darkest clouds
Once you were frightened but now your free
Relinquish the crown
And sleep
For these blue skies
Don't lie
Welcome in the day
Right through the darkest clouds
Once you were frightened but now
Born again your reminded of how
Home free
Can be

Embracing this ivory life
I am beginning to realize
This is not real the pain i am feeling inside
The silence reveals this fear is a plague of the mind
But i found solace in your eyes
Now they have closed
And i have been left here all alone
But i will find my way back to the place
Where rays of light will guide my way goodbye
Your fragile smile cut me down to size
How treacherous the path had become
With you and I as one
I was holding on to hope
Until your logic pried me loose
but i found solace in your eyes
now they have closed
and i have been left here all alone
but i will find my way back to the place
where rays of light will guide my way goodbye
goodbye my love goodbye

Roll the Bones
by Shakey Graves
This guy has a style all his own. Picture a guy traveling town to town in boxcar's with nothing but his guitar, voice and enough gritty soul to make you feel like you are in a chain gang.

All is Violent, All is Bright
by GOD IS AN ASTRONAUT
supported by 5 fans who also own “The Clouds are Ghosts”
"All is Violent, All is Bright" by God is an Astronaut is a post-rock excellence. Swirling guitars, dark wave nostalgia, and energetic rhythms make it a versatile, amazing experience. The talented musicians and impeccable recording/mastering ensure it's a must-try! My favorite track is the 10th. When everything dies.
