Before Now, Was Then

Weaver At The Loom Before Now, Was Then歌詞
1.We're Wild Animals (We Always Were)

I knew I was out too far,

Beyond the planets and the stars,

An interstellar oversight of mine.

But how was I to know,

That gravity would let me go?

And send me through the universe alone,

Where fools roam.


But when my lonely chromosomes

Swallow me like a black-hole,

I will take your hand and I will know.

That you and me reverse the polarity

Of the forces pulling me from home.


And I'll never go,

Or leave you out on your own.


You caught me so far out.

By some cosmic fortune found.

You said, 'Come back down,

There's love here now.

I'm your way back around.

Come down.'


I was out too far without you.


You caught me so far out.

By some cosmic fortune found.

You said, 'Come back down,

There's love here now.

I'm your way back around.

Come down.


2.Encyclopedia (Galactica)

On the earth,
Where do I search?
When we depart,
From end to start,
I am in reverse.

I want to lose control,
Let my body go.
Get turned to code.
Biolectric bone.

Take flight,
Polyphonic notes that subdivide.
Such height,
In which your world resides.

This noise is chemical,
We interact,
Then just react,
Neurological.

Make my body move,
Lost into the groove,
Become my own,
Dialectic drone.

Take flight,
Polyphonic notes that subdivide.
Such height,
In which your world resides.

Fall into the void,
I want to go and lose my mind.
Lost and so devoid,
Outside of space and time.

Fall into the void,
I want to go and lose my mind.
Lost and so devoid,
Outside of space and time.


3.Simple Rules (For Life In Hiding)

Hole me up here,
Where everything I need is.
I will disappear,
Invisible and silent.

All along our unexplored western shore.

Keep your love close,
Hold them where your heart goes.
There's no greater home,
Than a like-soul.

All along our unexplored western shore.

Take me where your love is.
Where I can hide away.
You and I are off to disappear into the grey.

I know nothing is perfect.
If anything's that way,
It's when you and I are off to disappear into the grey.

Take me where your love is.
Where I can hide away.
You and I are off to disappear into the grey.

I know nothing is perfect.
If anything's that way,
It's when you and I are off to disappear into the grey.


4.Bombardment Society (Founder)

20 years of senseless fear,
That I would not become,
Someone of power,
Or great esteem.

I was so far off,
I could not have been more lost.

In the raw,
My Shangri La,
Passed through this blank synapse.

But my mind just froze,
It opened where it closed.

I would be lost,
I would be lost again.

Of all the wild ways,
To find my place,
I was blind to see I was anew, everyday.

Everyday that goes to waste,
Is a gift that's been over-looked.

Get out of your head, boy.

5.I Feel Good, (Great, Wonderful)

So clear, so lovely,
The peace inside,
This space within my mind.

You will never understand,
How a thought could kill a man,
Until you have to try to see,
The truth inside of everything.

All I know?

We'll never know.
We'll never know.
And if I don't?
That's fine with me today.


How strong, how costly,
The urge to fight our fate,
To turn back time.

But life is meant to be consumed,
Not preserved to ward off doom.
Oh one can surely die from fear,
Before the end is ever near.

All I know?

We'll never know.
We'll never know.
And if I don't?
That's fine with me today.

Stay down,
A common noun, now.

We'll never know.
We'll never know.
And if I don't?
That's fine with me today.


6.11 1/2 (My Favorite Age)

Cross off your name and disavow everything you said that you
would not allow. Oh, we'll be no one when we're through, but
everyone we knew.

I just don't know the hurry to grow. Because in the end, we'll
all pretend, we're everyone we know.

Cut off your fingerprints. They don't matter where we are going.
We all won't know ourselves, ourselves if we try, to fall into
disguise.

I just don't know the hurry to grow. Because in the end, we'll
all pretend, we're everyone we know.

Are you your own? Are you everyone you know? Out with the?
undertow? Caught in the strangle hold? Or are you all your own?


7.Never Really Dying (But Going To Live)

Hey there night,
Shed your frozen light,
Where wave and nerve collide,
At the speed of sight.

Their ghosts linger on here
Even with eyes closed,
I see their glow.

You haunt me.
Exhaust me.
And watch me pass through.


Restless night.
How you paralyze,
And tangle me so tight
Why do you defy?

So close,
To going over now.
Or will I just pass out?
From wearing down?


You haunt me.
Exhaust me.
And watch me pass through.


8.Dozens Of Us (Dozens!)

I think I will explode,
If they say,
I must stay,
Where I'm told.
'Why don't you stay behind,
the lines that we have drawn?.

Because all my life I've gone,
Right where they said wrong.

But if you talk like they do,
You'll be ok.
And if you walk like they do,
There will be no shame.
Oh man I'm living in Rome,
And it does not feel like home.
Don't wanna do as the Roman's do.
Don't wanna be like you.

'Do you feel alone?
Mark the box,
The one that talks,
To you the most.'
Here we medicate,
To grease the squeaky wheel.

Because you can't fix what won't heal,
Or hide what won't conceal.

But if you talk like they do,
You'll be ok.
And if you walk like they do,
There will be no shame.
Oh man I'm living in Rome,
And it does not feel like home.
Don't wanna do as the Roman's do.
Don't wanna be like you.
