Here they come with news
to scare me Woven stylish yarn to snare me Tease the spot with deadly peril Queue the gore and load the barrel
Keep the stories pure and plain Assume the lemmings faint of brain Paint the targets vile and shocking Cock the hammer start the clocking
You can't break the news, it's already broken Disregard the clues till the sponsor has spoken Loathing rape and death top of every hour Frame and shape each breath to consolidate power
You can't break the news, it's already broken Chain dissenting views to a pithy slogan Every story spun to sway To your talking points today Other notions slate to slay And delay headway
Strings are pulled to mute the rabble Discerning crowds refute the babble Blogistas and twitsters take the slack And the break the news in no time flat
You can't break the news, it's already broken Every aim diffused, Ed R Murrow is chokin' Masses feed machine with their yammering prattle Scatter every dream into purposeless battle Splintered legions churn into froth in the gale Never to adjourn til they utterly fail

Turn me on see me light up When we're connected it's not enough I am filled with wires Pixels in my eyes And I melt and flow right in I am digitized
Hear me now as I scream A video clown posted with ease I'm begging pleading on my knees How many hits? Viral disease . . .
Shut me down there is no switch Is it fake or real I don't know which Population wrapped in wires Either liked or despised Collective psyche drain We're all digitized . . .
See me now as I dream Pitiful clone electric chimpanzee I'm bit-ed extracted fed into your screen Typical shit viral disease . . .

Well now baby When I saw you I said maybe
You might be the one You look like fun
The way you shake that ass It makes me wanna smoke your grass Your curves are so fine Wanna make you mine
But you're a succubus And you're gonna suck all of us
Bone dry But you're a succubus And you're gonna suck all of us Until we die
Oh girl you make me sweat, The way you move when you're all wet
You glisten so Don't want you to go
I wanna feel your skin I want you to let me in You're a demon spawn Wanna play till the dawn
But you're a succubus And you're gonna suck all of us
Bone dry But you're a succubus And you're gonna suck all of us Until we die
You've got a deadly tail So sharp it makes me wail You toss me aside Hurts more than my pride
You had to use me so And now I really know The dark heart inside My soul you denied
But you're a succubus And you're gonna suck all of us
Bone dry But you're a succubus And you're gonna suck all of us Until we die

Secrets To Encourage
(Play)
(Video)
(Info)
All the time I am
wondering how it's done Placing my attention on those far from me Envision their lives - more in tune than mine Perceptions led astray Seemingly endless love and endless happiness Form the facade they portray
Often times we are driven by the guilt And driven by resentment and perfection But when it's all said and done When it's time to end the show We all sit together We all experience pain Share grief
Deceive the nation no more
More importantly, they are looking out too Searching for perfection To escape their guilt and justify the
competition They look to us as an anchor Someone to hold onto To keep them from sinking down
But most importantly Our words encourage We are perceived as being in tune and on track Inspired from the accounts we share And the fears we have faced And the struggles we overcome Never taking for granted The mere fact that they listen for a reason Listen to reason
Our secrets to encourage one another Only guide us through our trials Feed off vibrant attractions For some, we are the answers But for me I heed the same desire Guide one, guide another, one true purpose Love |
Solve For X

Will we find the key to
settle this Should we part the mist or just dismiss the
mentor Is the rust upon the gate too thick Ivy in the brick the clock quick ticks to
failure First is always bright - outer vectors dim the
light
Factor sweet salvation into this How it goes amiss without a kiss to linger Does the raven on the rail weep Fail in trust to keep when hunger creeps in
winter Inner thoughts contend - let's petition to
pretend oh oh
And let's solve for X in the middle of the
playground Dispel the hex that's been following us around Happens all the time - your place or mine Cross a calculated, atavistic line
Pitted hinges crying when they yield Can the haze conceal the thorny field of roses Is accord a course completely sealed Choking fen congealed the scythe we wield
exposes Twisted wreck reject last regrets then solve for
X oh oh
And let's solve for X in the middle of the
playground Dispel the hex that's been following us around Happens all the time - your place or mine Cross a calculated, atavistic line
And let's solve for X in the middle of the

So I try to take control
of my situation Gonna take the day off and sleep till 2:00 89 degrees says the weather station The clouds all dot the sky like a psychic zoo
Roll around the bed with my wild-eyed girlfriend Yeah I don't have to work hard to play her tune Tromp down to the market to buy ice water The water from my sink is like plastic glue
Just like every single bottle of cheap-ass
whiskey My days are never the same I give up all my change to a sickly stranger Don't want no pockets to drain
It's my situation today Situation's here to stay It's my situation in the world Situation
Got a cheap guitar and a microwave oven A TV and a keyboard and a bed for two I've gotta lock my door when I leave my
apartment Don't wanna find my shit in some pawn shop
stew
Playin' A&A with a loud mouthed Injun Every one around here's got something to prove Neighbor's got the rocks and the boys are bingin' They ain't got nothin' to lose
My sister's gonna see the band on Friday She's got a fake I.D. to get plenty of booze Everyone that's there will seek out a good lay Band ain't gettin' paid we've got to pay our
dues
It's my situation today Situation's here to stay It's my situation in the world Situation

Subtle Chaos

(Info)
It’s the rain that carves
through the hills, It’s your brain without any pills, It’s just life that continually kills, A faded painting in a frame. It’s the plants that brown with disease, It’s the beasts that do as they please, It’s the day you can’t quite seize, Nothing can remain the same.
Can’t you see it’s subtle, it’s subtle. Can’t you feel it’s subtle, it’s subtle. Can’t you see it’s subtle, it’s subtle. Can’t you feel it’s subtle, it’s subtle. It’s sudden, it’s sullen, it’s stunning, it’s
started… Meow. Meow.
It’s a building that’s been torn down, It’s the cities drowning in sound, It’s the loss of what cannot be found, A castle washed away at sea. It’s the law that’s continually broken, It’s the fool that is outspoken, It’s the lies that keep us choking, Nothing escapes entropy. Meow. Meow.
We're recording music honeybunny I know Didja have fun Uh huh Good job

I feel so grand with an
apple in my hand With an apple in my hand I feel so grand I feel so grand with that apple in my hand With an apple in my hand I feel so grand
Oh you can use it every day And it'll make ya feel so gay Suckin' on that apple by and by Oh apples are a juicy fruit Even for a new recruit Apples are the apple of my eye
Apples are so very good They grow in your neighborhood You can hit an apple every day Pass the apple all around But please don't let it hit the ground Cause when you have one you will surely say
I feel so grand with an apple in my hand With an apple in my hand I feel so grand I feel so grand with that apple in my hand With an apple in my hand I feel so grand
Oh apples are a juicy fruit Green ones hold all the loot And red ones are the apple of my eye I bet you can't have just one If so you'll miss all the fun You'll laugh so hard that surely you will cry
I feel so grand with an apple in my hand With an apple in my hand I feel so grand I feel so grand with that apple in my hand With an apple in my hand I feel so grand |
Don't Be Down

Wagon
Don't be down, be down,
down, down You've got it, seconds lined up to a double In the town with your eyes on the ground It ain't far for you to get into trouble
I want time to be in a straight line You gonna stay or you gonna go now? 'Cause it's my life and you're sharing my time
You want to leave? Just let me know
'Cause all the seasons pass, and baby, baby, I'm
so blue Without your loving and your kissing and
caressing I just might be hip to the morning as I watch
you when you're showering and dressing So don't you leave and ignore me Piss me off and
try to bore me If I seem to be torchered It's 'cause every
day's a scorcher with you Baby, with you Don't be down
Don't be mean, its good to be clean But there's a time for winter sleeping Snow comes down in the nowhere town And there's business that is worth keeping
And it's my time, we could be drinking wine Instead of picking at all the small things Life is fine, if you look for a sign You'll see the peace we can have in all things
'Cause all the seasons pass, and baby, baby, I'm
so blue Without your loving and your kissing and
caressing I just might be hip to the morning as I watch
you when you're showering and dressing
So don't you leave and ignore me Piss me off and
try to bore me If I seem to be torchered It's 'cause every
day's a scorcher with you Baby, with you Don't be down Don't Be Down Don't Be Down Oh . . .

Plastered

Plastered Molded to the floor Solid Stone forever more Marbled Veins along my skin Inside Shattered Obsidian
Magma Boiling from below Rubied Eyes that hardly show Stretching Arms frozen in place Carvings Etched into my face
Nunyunuwi Galiha Nunyunuwi Galuga
Forbidden from northward travels Renowned courage refutes the command The Stone Coat, of frost ice and great cold The man boasts of strength and killing
Entice the man eaters I won't fool you again Frightened and without knowing The Stone Coat implanted in the man splendid
power
"This man," said he in his mind, "is as strong
as we are" The Stone Coats fled to the West Yet the Stone Coat woman returned good fortune A pact Kill the Stone Coat upon his return The firebrand ran into the Stone Coat and killed
him
Ashes Fallen to the ground Glasses Shards all around Heartbeat Somewhere within Breathing Weak and stretched thin
Blinded Hazy all around Strong weeds Hold me to the ground Synapse Firing within stone Statue Sitting here all alone
Nun'yunu'wi Gvnodv Nun'yunu'wi Nelisgv
Every block of stone has a statue inside it Free the figures slumbering in the stone I saw the angel in the marble And carved until I set it free

Sentient Cement was formed in 2011.
Things quickly fell into a routine for the pure thrill of
creating music. From the first session together,
things just clicked. Experimenting through various styles
and playing a variety of instruments, it always seemed as
though each new jam was a roller coaster and no matter where
the ride took them, it was going somewhere interesting. The
mind meld factor was uncanny, and in some cases downright
spooky. There are a lot of chords and rhythms that can
float into a jam, and when these guys are on, they truly
move through the music as one entity. Talking about the
mystery of exactly how such a thing was possible, the notion
arose that it wasn't really just these guys making the music
from nothing, but instead it was more like they were
channeling melodies and cadences from their
surroundings. Given that their surroundings were mostly the
concrete of the basement garage where they jammed, the idea
of Sentient Cement was born. The only musical rule
they follow is - there are no rules. |
