31 Knots - The Curse Of The Longest Day [ep] (2006) by 31 Knots (보컬) on maniadb.com

New recruits parley
To the quotient of the day.
Their resolve is strong in wanting to matter.
They say, "ergot, ergot.
We have no home,
Except the one that makes us stop and say,
'This is where the weathered wear lines like armour.
And every clock is like another widowed mother
Born to suffer'.
So we scream Bloody Murder,
Evil failure playing martyr.
And now we wait for the orders."

I am...
Hostage...
To the...
Ebb and...
Flow.
We are...
Hostage...
To the...
Ebb and...
Flow.

I can't lie I got potshots lined up. Red
dots so bright they'll blind you.
Red tape so they can't trace us
Ballistically we remain nameless.
Turn the page 'cause you just got famous.
Sabotage or serenade.
Complacency capitulates,
Underneath the open sky tonight.
Slowing to a pace not fit for your appraisal.
Lay down your sword and be thankful
Biding time for idle rifles
Is a trick without a trade.
A trick without a...

I am...
Hostage...
To the...
Ebb and...
Flow.
We are...
Hostage...
To the...
Ebb and...
Flow.

We can't save you
From knowing the
Curse Of The Longest Day.
The cause and cure all
Come from having
The sense to know it was high time to escape
So, welcome to stop.
Where progress halts.

I am...
Hostage...
To the...
Ebb and...
Flow.
We are...
Hostage...
To the...
Ebb and...
Flow, flow, flow...

Through my disdain
and endless bravado
I've published such lust
It's thought of as curious
How I imply dead space we can't trust.
So what so we say so yes, but

Who's the gospel and who is the plain truth?
Who's the misprint and who is just slander?
Who's the corpse and who is the carcass?
Show me a saint and I'll show you their blood lust.

3:12
Tonight I'm going out like
A pussy to a cockfight
So cocksure, cavorting
My way to the spotlight

And then and then and then and then
I will see what I mean

Drooling from mutants of compounds
Passed out, we won't leave the foreground
Lusting for Desire's daughter
Of less worth to me than my water

What do I say?
What do I say?
Something more important than this.
What do I say?
What do I say?
Something more vulgar than this.
Never content unless it's the perfect fit.

There's no love inside this room,
But lust to fuck, that's ringing too.
But I am only what I subdue.
Yes it's ugly but it's the truth.

Stop, stop running away from what is obvious.
Stop, stop running away from what is obvious.
No one ever said it was oh so beautiful.
No one ever said it was oh so beautiful.

We're beautiful.
You're beautiful.

1:55
Caught in a dream of a sequence,
Silence, abduction so seamless.
Combing the streets I'm embarrassed.
Yet still in search of the fairest.

What do I say?
What do I say?
Something more important than this.
What do I say?
What do I say?
Something more vulgar than this.
Never content unless it's the perfect fit.

3:04
Cuddled days and cuddled nights
Look at them with the clothes so tight
I, I just watched
As they walk away

3:20
Darling (maid?) we'll make some room
We'll cut apart their flesh and (sinew?)..
By the (catholic sun i've barely lapsed?)
Under my (anigma?) sense of trust

3:39

But lust to fuck, that's ringing too.
That I am only what I subdue
Yes it's ugly but it's the truth

Stop, stop running away from what is obvious
Stop, stop running away from what is obvious
No one ever said it was oh so beautiful
No one ever said it was oh so beautiful
Stop, stop running away from what is obvious
No one ever said it was oh so beautiful

We're beautiful
I'm beautiful

You were courting your fate
With a static approach,
As if keeping still
Won't let them know
Where you are
And what you want.
So you buried your fangs
In the heart of their braun

1:07
But learning to kill
Is not fighting a cause.
It's more like a life
As a coward with claws.
Claws
Claws
Claws
Claws

1:37
Coward with claws
A coward with claws
A coward with claws
A coward with claws
A coward with claws
A coward with claws
A coward with claws
A coward with claws

They help you slash and burn

2:18
Producing excuses
As the answer to the question why you never go back.
Your callased carcass,
But emulation of the difference means that you can never scratch
The surface or subject
Others to the hell of your life,
And I know why

2:54
Coward with claws
A coward with claws
A coward with claws
A coward with claws
A coward with claws
A coward with claws
A coward with claws
A coward with claws

They help you slash and burn away

3:35
Here's a warning for your whores
Or your marionettes in twine.
Leave the room without a bruise
Before she imbibes.

Because she gets drunk off fear
And drunk off hate
And it leaves her mouth with a bitter taste.
And because this clatch will never last
She is bound to burn and bound to slash

And burn and burn and burn and burn..

Away, away
