WOOLY MAMMOTH LYRICS

1. Five Points
2. Welcome To Sunshine
3. The Prophet
4. Mastercut + Charisma
1. Five Points
Crosses can't kill me
Nor will their lies
Shining goddess supreme
Lower your eyes
Five points across the sky
A curious sign
Retrograde horizon
Connect the lines
My symbol betrayed
Misaligned
Mother teacher destroyer
I will provide
Forces of nature
Signs in the sky
Just beneath the soil
Stirring inside
Move beyond the threshold
Limits denied
Devotion without measure
Pain becomes pride
From this you have strayed
I am your guide
Mother teacher destroyer
I will provide
2. Welcome To Sunshine
3. The Prophet
I'm biting the tail of the dog that feeds me
and I'm cutting my teeth on the lies that lead me
just pretend that I'm there, under the table
gestures of faith and digestive failure
(chorus)
I've cursed the past before and tried to hide in the womb
now I'm content lying on dinosaur bones
blame the lack of the ghost
blame the lack of me in the world
the hardest part of being alive,
is all of the twisted insides
so i studied a faith, and a chemical path
but I lost myself in time, in the tide of my laughter
(chorus)
eyes spin under shades in a prophetic dream
crying in sleep begging god for a little peace
he said we need some new friends
ones that won't kill us in the end
but my favorite brothers are foes
and my sisters love to take me down...
you gotta let me know
if it seems like I've broken the code
I could just turn the right screw and lie...
4. Mastercut + Charisma
It's the perfect world for you to live in with two black eyes, I built it myself, made it look good, became your Christ. Now you're feeling brave cuz you've got free will and you roll the dice...as the vultures set thier sights
Afraid of who you were...and who you couldn't be
You built your houses out of glass...and sleep on concrete
I know at night you climb your walls...to avoid the snakes
Now your soul's in the black, but you've got some things to loose, things that you can't keep when you die...the black swan burns tonight.
Now you drag your feet across the floor of everyday and your mind shuts down when you recall what you betrayed. That cage with golden bars is feeling small and you suffocate as you hear those old songs play...
Don't you wish you hadn't wished...for your luxury
You bruised your hands folding your palms...praying to the color green
Died to live in a fable...with a broken wing
Go get some sleep in the back to forget what you choose and forget all your reasons why...the black swan burns tonight.
I need the perfect hell...to show me what I'll loose...if i ignite myself...and burn me into you.
