Start & End
04:26
|

crestfallen glare
there's nothing left to say
at a loss for words
we turn our separate ways
now i'm driving ninety seven on the four oh five
thinking of another drug i'd like to try
and its true i start and end with you
it was june
when our eyes first met
tender charms
we traded on cassette
amorous affections came so easily
we didn't know it then but it was destiny
and its true i start and end with you
hold my heart
tightly in your hand
tied to my arm
with a rubber-band
the finger-marks don't fade from where you squeezed it tight
i know you said you wouldn't but i thought you might
and its true i start and end with you
now we stand
there's nothing left to say
you turn
and you walk away
i wonder if i'll ever see your face again
or hold your hand and walk together just as friends
and its true i start and end with you

Sad Charade
05:04
|
|||
i see your walls all fall away
a gripping fear, my life escapes
flashback to days when we were two
i don't owe anything to...
you are not the one who brought me through
when you gave into
(chorus)
and now you're leaving
another life you leave behind to long for you
and its the same
and now I'm grieving
cast aside
reveal to me the sad charade
your laugh becomes a cackle
your smile an evil grin
the sparkle in you eyes an icy chasm wherein
blackness bleeds from within your soul
consumes my heart for toll
to pay for all your life of sin
that you gave into
and now you're leaving
another life you leave behind to long for you
and its the same
and now I'm grieving
cast aside
reveal to me the sad charade
that you led me to
and now I'm bleeding
cast aside
I'm cast aside and left for dead
and it's the same
and now I'm grieving
cast aside
I'm cast aside and left for dead

Slip into a Spell
04:27
|
|||
i hear those chimes again
pounding steel bells
sound rings around my head
its too early to tell
if I'm slipping
slipping into a spell
i saw your face today
so close that i could smell
the fragrance of content
oh yes, i can tell
now i'm slipping
slipping into a spell
don't run when you can hide
crawl deep inside your mind
step back before you fell
slip into a spell
it grabs me from behind
no one hears silence yell
my pocket's picked of it's esteem
no, i'm not doing well
now i'm slipping
slipping into a spell
don't run when you can hide
crawl deep inside your mind
step back before you fell
slip into a spell

Daydream
06:11
|
|||
it was the middle of my thoughts
when the stranger turned to me and talked
unexpected
unprepared
i answered with a lifeless stare
she must have thought, "how impolite"
and made me out a troglodyte
"so conceited
and unfair
just a creep with a lifeless stare"
(chorus)
fancy me a daydream
fantasy in moonbeams
fancy me a daydream
fantasy in moonbeams
my thought they turn to me and you
your delicate features come into view
my fingers touch the clothes you wear
as i drift into a lifeless stare

Holy Water
02:16
|

holy water
look at me
covered in the grime of my sin
lord make me clean
as the devil loves holy water
as the devil loves holy water
as the devil loves holy water
as the devil loves holy water
make me clean
its and addiction
by thy precious blood
has anyone seen my balance
the blood is the drug
as the devil loves holy water
as the devil loves holy water
as the devil loves holy water
as the devil loves holy water
it's my drug
i'll dig to china
i'll find a priest
his divining rod will bless me
and chase away the beast
as the devil loves holy water
as the devil loves holy water
as the devil loves holy water
as the devil loves holy water
kill the beast
as the devil loves holy water
as the devil loves holy water
as the devil loves holy water
as the devil loves holy water
make me clean

Unstable
04:51
|
|||
god fearing
unstable
rip off my head and lay it out on the table
open it up to see if I can find
why my friends have left me and I want to die
god fearing
unstable
got a hold of my mind
but i'm still unable to shake the fear that drove me insane
left you behind and brought the rain
my insecurities have made me a criminal
my soul is scarred with lies i once thought minimal
spiral in the dark
my colors turn deep
searching for a look in you that i can keep
god willing
dissection
open my brain to find the fear of rejection
give me repentance
slam the gavel and deliver my sentence
i stand here gaping at this edge
(get on your knees and raise this cross)
i carry so much weight
but i still have a sense of loss
let me out
set me free
i've had enough of this manic retreat
my psyche's sick but my mind is well
i lost control
got scared
turned ran
and fell

Chrurn Spin Shake
03:44
|
|||
shiny white cold porcelain figure set on the rug
your not quite ready
take a drink the water tastes like poison
your walls are rounding and you've locked yourself in
after one you can feel the buzz glow
it wasn't long before you let yourself go
in a fog of smoke and technicolor lights
blaring sound-waves crush your brain tonight
churn churn dear
your stomach turns
your body shakes with fear
spin spin love
your eyes whirl...
the taste rushes with a vengeance to your mouth
churn, spin and shake
it just wants to get out
what's in is out and you pass out once more
your giving in as your head slams on the floor
churn churn dear
your stomach turns
your body shakes with fear
spin spin love
your eyes whirl...

Reason
05:04
|
|||
just give me a reason to talk to gods
just give me reason
haunt my dreams with screams of pain
in blissful sadness pretend to pray
if you read us in your books
where would i stand when i reached the end
drinking from some vial
or twist and bent
as we watched if fall apart
the plaque spread fast
a dark eclipse
no excuses it can't be fixed
in wild grey eyes
i wade
through emotional swamps
i paid
my dues to my country in cash
when will my peace come at last
if you read us in your books
where would i stand when i reached the end
drinking from some vial
or twist and bent - (lend me your mind)
as we watched if fall apart
the plaque spread fast
a dark eclipse
no excuses it can't be fixed
blow my mind out in a comic book
while heroes and kings, gods and crooks
bleed on my soul and stain my eyes
don't need reasons to live because I'm living a lie
if you read us in your books
where would i stand when i reached the end
drinking from some vial
or twist and bent - (lend me your mind)
as we watched if fall apart
the plaque spread fast
a dark eclipse
no excuses it can't be fixed

Mirrors
03:55
|
|||
i'm on the mezzanine
with my thorazine
just trying to get my stride
i'm reading magazines
to assess the scene
i might just take this ride
I'm learing how to feel
so take the wheel
i'm hanging off the side
i thought we had a deal
loud, mangled steel
self images collide
(chorus)
these mirrors try to trap your souls
steal away to a great unknown
reflecting futures
reflecting pasts
close your eyes
a mirrors only glass
spirituality
our specialty
we fix old, broken souls
you won't need currency
heaven is free
empty your pockets in this bowl
what's looking back at me
i'm afraid to see
how others might perceive
what's looking back at me
is a fallacy
reflections can deceive
(chorus)
don't try to hide your face when your mirrors shake you
that's coming from within
and you are free to let it all rush in
(chorus)

Cynic
05:22
|
|||
Hold me back
Hold me back
Let emotion take over me
let me
steal my
soul away
hide my voice
hide my fear
just want to sing and be left alone
in the music
wandering
lose myself again
love can't take me as high
as the poisons in my mind
the tragedy makes me feel so alive
hold me
feel me
burn you with my hidden caustic smile
i am
the beautiful anger
you bottled up inside

Random Parade California
Alternative rock project, Random Parade, playing smoldering post punk, indie gloom rock, singed with some shoegaze guitars for good measure. Dark driving rhythms, reminiscent of She Wants Revenge, amid swirling guitars calling to mind Catherine Wheel and nerve tingling vocals somewhere between Peter Murphy and David Bowie. ... more
