Ideomotor Lyrics by The Agonist

Prisoners

2012

We are but prisoners, of waterfalls
We stand on broken ribs
Faces to the glass, we drown
Heavy mileage on our minds
We wrap the Earth in cerebral folds
And the corpse we carry really is
A weight we'd like to throw
We love the strange new animals
We love the fearful plants
But we all surrender
Turpentine to rid us of our pasts
You would walk the rotten hillside
You would taste the clouds below
But the world you walk
Is running water through
Valleys in palms of hands
We all know we will be
Respected by greed and death
And loathed by clarity
Jettisoned emotions flood the banks
The valleys overflow
If only memory served us better
We could swim to dry our souls
We're suicidal swans
We're silence, in throats we creep
You'll know us by the shaking ground
When ideas emerge from the deep
Dolphins have more dignity
A sleepwalking helicopter
Gracefully deceased
Beauty makes the blind weep
To describe a song in color
Is a portrait's symphony
The light drips on closed eyelids
Through holes and weathered sheets
Curiosity stands up where strange faces hide and seek
Swarming the webs of electricity that dragnet the city;
Confusing power with duty in a place with trees like origami
Monstrous theories dance
With nightmares on the horizon
Absolute equinox
Listening to history in the present
Planets approach the lupine walks
We're suicidal swans
We're silence, in throats we creep
You'll know us by the shaking ground
When ideas emerge from the deep
We're suicidal swans
We're silence, in throats we creep
You'll know us by the shaking ground
When ideas emerge from the deep
Offering flowers to the dirt
Like paralyzed dancers
We decline and smile and flee
But, with years of past devotion
The crushing atmosphere
Is bitter-sweet
In my waterfall, here, in Earth I'll slowly disappear
