Night drive through the unknown
The air was cold and neat
Little spots of red light shined like
The eyes of a thousand beasts
And i’ve been trying to find on the radio
The song that played in my head
Yeah i’ve been trying to find on the radio
A song I once tried to forget
We were driving with a stranger’s heart
Miles goes by same color chart
Through the window
Comes the sound of howling wind
Autopilot in control
Never thought I was alone
‘Cause I don’t know where I’m going
But neither do they
We just keep on driving
There’s no purpose in the way
I don’t know where I’m going
But neither do they
We just keep on driving
No cars on the fast lane
Pale blue became coal black
Count white stripes on the road ahead
It blinds me but keeps my mind sharp
You know how that shit works?
We stopped for a cigarette
And a short breath of cold thin air
I’m guided by a carpet of stars
There’s no doubt
When we face the forking path
We were driving with a stranger’s heart
Miles goes by, same color chart
Through the window
Comes the sound of howling wind
Autopilot in control
Never thought I was alone
I don’t know where I’m going
But neither do they
We just keep on driving
‘Cause the purpose is the way
I don’t know where I’m going
But neither do they
‘Cause we just keep on driving

Strange Mechanisms
03:35
|

|
My mind’s becoming sharp
And cuts both ways
You’ve seen it
I’ve never seen it before you left
‘Cause I got swallowed by the haze
Where everything becomes a maze
I got swallowed by the haze
Now I’m still lost inside the maze
Strange mechanisms starting to work
I’m fighting shadows that’ve stolen my hope
But this black black feeling
Will lead me to the...
I’m a car wreck
Awaking upside down
Blinding bright lights reveal
My face on the ground
I used to play a little game
A game that makes me feel alive
I shut my eyes, hands on the wheel
How many seconds can I drive?
Strange mechanisms starting to work
I’m fighting shadows that’ve stolen my hope
And I believe these wounds carve our souls
So you won’t fall again in the same hole
This black black feeling
Will lead me to the…
This black black feeling
Will lead me to the top.

Cold breeze in your hair
A loaded shotgun in your hand
We’ve been hiding everywhere
In every town we are the moving silhouettes
It feels like we ain’t
We ain’t coming home
When we leave
We ain’t coming home
But she doesn’t know how it feels to be alone
She doesn’t know how it feels to be alone
Their blood stains shine on your dress
We’re dancing close above the mess
We’ll bury them in the woods
Leave no tracks, don’t break the rules
She doesn’t know how it feels to be alone
She doesn’t know how it feels to be alone
I’ve been trying to forget
Blue lights took you from my hands
It feels like we ain’t
We ain’t coming home
It feels like we ain’t
(We ain’t coming home)
I’ve tried to live, live to be free
But new sensations is what I seek
The night is ours, the day is gone
Now payback is in my song
Come feel my payback
All i’ve got is payback
They’ll try to judge me for what I’ve done
Try to erase the fun
And I’m singing uuuuh
Come feel my payback
All I’ve got is payback
Give me some payback yeah!

Dive
04:06

Left my place a while ago
And walked alone the empty hall
Clothes and pictures sitting on the floor
I know it’s wrong but it’s all I got
‘Cause something broke and fell apart
Come and fix it if you think you know
And I said
You really made it
And I said yeah
You really made it
Took a dive in gasoline
Your kiss felt like the oxygen that,
That I haven’t breathed in a long time
We were sitting next to the sea
Staring at the dark beneath
Showed me where to find the light within
And I said
You really made it
You said yes,
You really made it
You really made it
It came back again
Thought I washed my sorrows in L.A
But I can’t explain
All this pain I’m feeling
You really made it
(I’m done with everything I was
I’m done with everything I had)

Vapours of Blue
06:47

And there I was
Casting a shadow through the floor
Building the surroundings
With the echoes of my voice
I hear my blood
Pumping like never before
Feel chased, but who’s behind me?
Will I leave room 34?
Released from the seizure
I woke up in a dusty gloom
Loud noises from the roof
And I don’t know if I’m ever gonna make it
Just trying to keep it cool.
I’m hanging from this
Floating ephemeral sensation
Trying to get to the other side of the room
Cuts in my hands
The smell of some old weird perfume
But it will not be there
I believe I’m dying way too soon
I’m afraid I’m dying way too soon
If I knew a way, out of the blue
It’s hard to remember anything but you
I’m hanging from this
Floating ephemeral sensation
Trying to get to the other side of the room
Cuts in my hands
The smell of some old weird perfume
Floating ephemeral sensation
Trying to get to the other side of the room
Cuts in my hands
The smell of some old weird perfume
-
You’re Done
Up behind the stars
Where the light meets the dark
And the echoes of your thoughts
Vanish in the corners of eternity
There I see my body
Laying in a maroon color carpet
Glowing like the neon saint
From the last town I chose to live in
A happy gesture makes me smile
I’m done with everything I was
I’m done with everything I had

Left No Sound
03:35

Too much time,
I’ve been living in my head
I’ve chasing dreams that they thought I’d forget
So you will find me at the highest cliff
Staring at the sea
When it gets dark, will my phone ring?
But I have that strength to keep on fighting
After getting stunned
And I have that will
That rise me up like the morning sun
I listen to the sirens sing
An endless buzzing in my ear
That tells me I only got what I deserve
So you will find me at the highest cliff
Staring at the sea
When it gets dark, will my phone ring?
All the things you said we’ll be
The plans you had for me
All the places written down
All that’s gone left no sound
And there’s no dream, no black stream
Just a lost man in my sleep
Everyone stays the same
I’m the only one insane
There’s no dream, no black stream
Just a lost man in my sleep
Everyone stays the same
I’m the only one …
I’m the only

When Rage Blossoms
03:43

You were born from the nothing
So you got nothing to expect
Not a day to remember, not a day to forget
Put your goals in a suitcase
And bury it 5 feet underground
Wake up and tell me if it’s real
I wanna know the way it feels
Wake up and tell me if it’s real
Silent, I keep feeling sick
A big secret maneuver
To keep the leash tight
Subatomical blackmail it’s easy to hide
Wake up and tell me if it’s real
I wanna know the way it feels
I wanna know the way to heal
Your high hopes turn into vertigo
When you are just too small to fit them
When you’ve noticed their not yours
Your high hopes turn into vertigo
They are mass produced frustration
I think you oughta know
Heavy bleeding from the ceiling
Thoughts turn into stones
Mercenaries of a fairy tale
They call god’s word
Break your older state of mind
Break your older state
Wake up and tell me if it’s real
Wake up and tell me how it feels
Wake up and tell me if it’s real

Alpha Is Gone
04:04

There’s no light but I know I’m surrounded
By the sounds of the past
Try to scream, try to run, try to face it
Red lights hiding the mess
I’ve been trying to get out
For so many years
Alpha is gone, I’m alone
Yearning behind the sun
Stars will light the skies above
I’ve been trying to contact home
When you think you’re alone
In this place you call home
Everytime you feel all went wrong
Know that I will be howling
For the awful things that bring you down
Think you would never need them
Now they’re gone
And I’ve been trying to hold you for so long
The key to everything is long gone
I’m drifting away, cold black fear
Nothing else but to face what’s left for me
It’s been a long time and it feels like I’m running home
It feels like I’m running
Oh it feels like I’m running
It feels like I’m feeling
I’m feeling all
It’s been a long time
Feels like I’m running
It’s been a long time
Feels like I’m running
It’s been a long time
Feels like I’m running home
When I’m miles away falling at high speed
Flames around me
And I fade away, I fade away
it feels, it feels like I’m running
Home

Ascend

I’m watching you from the rear view mirror
As the car drives away
The engine growls like a furious creature
It seems like you but I couldn’t tell
Oh but I need you
I’ve never thought you’d vanish this way
I’ve tried to speak
To find the words
I’ve filled my lungs with the deepest love
The moment comes
I’ve got no voice
Hope you know my silence means a lot
Oh but I need you
I’ve never thought you’d vanish this way
I know there’s still light in you
Reflecting from your secret hiding place
Oh it’s a miracle
Oh it’s a miracle
You still believe in something new
Away from fear, from black and blue
You still believe in something new
Away from fear, from black and blue
Oh it’s a miracle
Am I floating? Am I drifting?
Above the clouds there is no weeping
Once I was scared by the thunder
Now I can see over yonder

Pictures

Still got a picture of you next to my bed
But I don’t look at it the same way
My stomach is full of a thousand fire ants
But I want them to remain
There was someone
In my reflection
Wearing the same clothes
He swore we’ve never met
But something tells me
I know him from before
He said:
You will know your time is coming
When you can’t be nothing but pathetic rage
Like the poison of the widow
I’ll bring you closer to the falling edge
Sweating, fighting
To see a new dawn
Or waiting
Waiting ‘till the breath is gone
You will know your time is coming
When you can’t be nothing but pathetic rage
But the water’s rising in my room
I’m floating in an endless womb
I see myself
I feel the change
There’s something new that’s burning
Glowing alone
Holding a hole inside
That grows but makes you strong

By far I'd say this is the best album I've listened to in the last 5 years. Each song has its own story to tell whilst definitely getting stuck in your head. 11/10 Guys keep up the good work 🤙 (also great to listen to whilst high or on acid)

The surprisingly comical new video from roaring metal group Red Fang is a tip of the hat to the original “Predator.”

The 'stoner blues' album for me. It really does it. I've heard better blues, I've heard better stoner rock. But in combining both of those, they've really set the stage on this album. Rock on, Matt. Wait, who?
