The Pariah, the Parrot, the Delusion

Dredg The Pariah, the Parrot, the Delusion歌詞
1.Pariah

To sacrifice oneself never made sense to me
Cause life is really the only and last gift we've all received
Some will waste it in the name of something you can't see
Continually defeat the purpose of that something creating

Oh, delusions
Are meant to justify, justify the things you do
Oh, delusions
Never really qualified, qualified as an excuse

As he approached the city center with the skyline in view
There was nothing left to contemplate, he knew he must follow
through
With the plan certified by faith and a plan written in death
At that moment, this was it, he took his last breath

Oh, delusions
Are meant to justify, justify the things you do
Oh, delusions
Never really qualified, qualified as an excuse

No more hiding, no more hiding, no more blame
No more fighting, no more fighting, no more pain
No more chaos, no more chaos, no more stress
And no addiction, no addiction, no more mess
No ???, ??? swollen head
No more greed, no more feeding from the hand
No more writing, no more 'blame it on the man'
Realize it's your own fault

3.Ireland

I'll never leave this place,
No, I'll never leave this place.
I'll never leave the place where I'm from.

Because beyond these town limits,
even though I've never seen it,
there's really nothing else to explore-
there's nothing more.
there's nothing more.

Where is your intrigue and interest?
You don't have any questions or wonder.
Why would I leave this place when I'm comfortable right here?
Everything I need and more isn't far - it's here.

I'll never leave this place,
no, I'll never leave this place.
I'll never leave the place where I was born.

Because beyond these town limits,
even though I've never seen it,
there's really nothing else to explore.
There's nothing more.


4.Stamp Of Origin - Pessimistic

Pessimistic, yes it may seem
But if you've been there, you know what I mean
A struggle and suffering that won't go away
It won't go away
It won't go away
It won't go away


5.Lightswitch

I was put in a round room
And told to sit in the corner
While they wash my brain with a dirty rag

I was given a hammer
And told to build a fortress
With walls impossible to penetrate

You're the only thing I need
And you've become the only thing
That keeps me breathing, without you I'd be
In a dark place, no lightswitch
An open wound without a stitch
Maybe now you will understand

No matter how stable
The foundation may seem
Everything is crashing down on me

With papercuts on fingertips
Blackened eyes, and broken lips
Forever wounded, it's hard to tell

You're the only thing I need
Whether I fail or succeed
Within my blindness, you are all I see
The morning fog sun burns away
A predator's eye without its prey
Maybe now you will understand

I won't quit on you
No, I won't quit on you
I won't quit on you
Ever ...


6.Gathering Pebbles

Wait for me
You're onto something
Maybe there's no need
To play catchup, to play catchup
Wait for me
You're onto something
Maybe there's no need
To play catchup, to play catchup

You're casually
Casually walking through life without a worry
I'm worried its effects will show
So now I'm gathering
Gathering the pebbles I need to drink from the well
So thirsty, so thirsty

Wait for me
Well, I am not very far behind
So wait for me
I'm still chasing you
Wait for me
Well, I am not very far behind
So wait for me
While I play catchup

But thankfully
Thankfully, I haven't been taken very seriously
Seriously anxious to run the course without stumbling
Stumbling over fences, now I'm falling
Falling down the hillside, it's way too steep
It's way too steep

Wait for me
Well, I am not very far behind
So wait for me
I'm still chasing you
Wait for me
Well, I am not very far behind
So wait for me
I'm still chasing you

I happened to take a chance
Now there's no turning back
Return to childhood dreams, there rested figurines
I've been through life fast
Riding over broken glass
There is no question now
That I will catch up, will catch up
Will catch up...


7.Information

You're suffering, feel your pain
Allow me to be your sponge
Cause I can absorb your sorrows
I'm the one

Fire may rain down on you, but I'll be your water
Waves may crash on you, but I'll be your land
Cause I want to give you just a temporary bliss

Just a little bit, just a little bit
A little more information
To add to my confusion
To add to the frustration
I don't need it

So shed your pain, well I'll sit in silence
As you bleed your deepest feelings here
Quakes may rattle you, but I'll be your sky
Winds may twist around you, but I'll be your clouds

Just a little bit, just a little bit
A little more information
To add to my confusion
To add to the frustration
I don't need it
No, I don't need it

He woke up next to her, his head against her head
His hand upon her breast, he knew today meant death
He kissed her on the cheek, and then on her lips
Thought to himself, 'it's the last time I'll do this'

Put on a suit, pressed and clean
He brushed his hair, grabbed his keys
Then he headed out to the morning air
With an anticipation no man could bear

The air was heavy
He could feel it in his lungs
With every step he took, a prayer rolled off his tongue
They were prayers of forgiveness, and prayers of praise
And his actions a gift for a god without a name

Just a little bit, just a little bit
A little more information
To add to my confusion
To add to the frustration
I don't need it
No, I don't need it


8.Stamp Of Origin - Ocean Meets Bay

I am not the one to blame
We are all part of the problem
Damper your complaint
We are all, we are all to blame


9.Saviour

It makes me wish I was a banger
I'd come and retaliate
I tend to avoid impulsive gangster attitudes
Cause they will blind you

It's gonna eat you up
It's gonna drag you down
Gonna get all that you ask for

Affected many lives
Left a void so wide
Gonna get all that you want

Looking for a saviour
Not one who saves
Been looking for a saviour
One to retaliate

There's no need for forgiveness
It's already said and done
But don't let revenge consume and take hold of you
Cause it will blind you

It's gonna eat him up
It's gonna drag him down
He's gonna get all that he asked for

Affected many lives
Left a void so wide
Gonna get all that he wants

Looking for a saviour
Not one who saves
Been looking for a saviour
One to retaliate

Open up ...

You affected many lives
You left a void so wide
Gonna get all that you ask for

It's gonna eat you up
It's gonna drag you down
You're gonna get all that you want

Looking for a saviour
Not one who saves
Been looking for a saviour
One to retaliate

You've sworn to retaliate
One to retaliate

Open up ...

11.I Don't Know

Well, I've been absorbed in mediocrity
Been hollowed by uncertainty
I've taken all of my beliefs
And given 'em up
Cause there's no guarantee
Of a god or longevity
Admit you don't know anything
And give it up

Singing, I don't know if I've been reborn,
Lived a past life, suffered in another time,
I don't know
Singing, I don't know if I've been reborn,
Lived a past life, suffered in another time,
I don't know
Give it up, give it up, give it up

Well I don't know what to believe anymore
But every now and then I feel a moment of awakening
But then it's gone, then it's gone, then it's gone
I'm blanketed by the warmth of ignorance

Singing, I don't know if I've been reborn,
Lived a past life, suffered in another time,
I don't know
Singing, I don't know if I've been reborn,
Lived a past life, suffered in another time,
I don't know

If I'll go somewhere special when I die
If I'll go somewhere special when I die
So I'll just go on living my way

There's a strength in duality
Penetrate mentality
Give it up, give it up
Learn from casualty
Don't have faith in anything
Give it up, give it up

Singing, I don't know, no, I'll never know
I'm giving up, give it up
Singing, I don't know if I've been reborn,
Lived a past life, suffered in another time,
I don't know
If I'll go somewhere special when I die
If I'll go somewhere special when I die
So I'll just go on living my way


12.Mourning This Morning

We'll be mourning this morning
There is no need to complain
Cause we've been ignoring this warning
There is no pleasure without this pain

We're drawn together by accident
We'll be forever with these words and melodies
They'll guide us through this spek in time

We're trying to get the missed attempts
We are forever with these words and memories
They'll guide us through this night
We're getting older, older, older

Another day, another rut
Along the highway's fault
We sat and watched him
The saddened watchman
He's all alone

We're drawn together by accident
We'll be forever with these words and melodies
They'll guide us through this spek in time

We're trying to get the missed attempts
We are forever with these words and memories
They'll guide us through this night

We're getting older, older, older
But it's not over, over

Cause this is all
All you'll ever get
Don't forget that, don't forget that
No, don't forget that
This is all
All you'll ever get
Don't forget that
It's your one and only chance
To go this far on your own

We'll be mourning this morning
We'll be mourning this morning
Cause we've been ignoring this warning
All along
We're getting older, older, older


13.Stamp Of Origin - Take A Look Around

Take a look around
All things green and brown
They are here to stay

The people walking by
Buildings built so high
They'll be gone someday

A piercing sound so loud
Takes over the crowd
Watch them run away

Objects in the sky
Blacken all the light
Total disarray

What a show
What a show

Take a look around
Everything you found
Will be gone someday


14.Long Days And Vague Clues


15.Cartoon Showroom

Gonna miss your wave
Your sin, your smell, your smile
In an anxious attempt to let you know

Dancing on the roof
Of some cartoon showroom
But in an instant, I'd give it all right back

So keep moving, onward
Run through that open door
Consuming knowledge
Wormhole through times before

Can't you hear their voices crying?
Can't you hear their hearts breaking?
There is only so much we can do
Only so much can be shown to you
The rest is your choice
It's your choice

When I close my eyes
I see two faces above me
One to my left, one to my right

I took you under
Under my wing to shadow
It never did bother me to hide you from the light

So keep moving, onward
Run through that open door
Consuming knowledge
Wormhole through times before

Can't you hear their voices crying?
Can't you hear their hearts breaking?
There is only so much we can do
Only so much can be shown to you
The rest is your choice
It's your choice

So keep moving, onward ...
(Run through that open door)


16.Quotes

There's a way, a way to get out of here
To escape these storms and find some shelter
To rid of your darkness, to rid of your boredom

There's somewhere, somewhere that you can go
It's obvious, well it's apparent
It's right in front of you, so reach out and take it

And just let go
Our sobriety we'll abandon
Discriminate, we fade slow, fade slow
These drugs will expand us
United we will grow
Let go, let go

There's a way, a way to squash all of your fears
When everyone around you seems to be a stranger
You feel their eyes upon you, you're hearing their thoughts
As they walk away, the voice grows louder
Illusions illuminate
Why let illusions dictate your next move?
You're bound by deception, and a misled direction

So just let go
Our sobriety we'll abandon
Discriminate, we fade slow, fade slow
These drugs will expand us
United we will grow
Let go, let go

There's a way, a way out of here
There's a way, a way out of here

So just let go
Our sobriety we'll abandon
Discriminate, we fade slow, fade slow
These drugs will expand us
United we will grow
Let go, let go


17.Down To The Cellar


18.Stamp Of Origin - Horizon

Sitting in the sand, watch the tide roll up
Take the deep breath in, as your past fades out
Let everything else just fade into the horizon

When the planets stop spinning, and the music stops
Take a deep breath in, let your life fade out
With everything else, you'll fade into the horizon
