Tomorrow's Food lyrics - Incubus

I know you vie for the good ol' days
and with less of us around, we were a cinch to sway
does it feel like it's the end of the world
well maybe it is, but when was it not,
cause it's true, me and you
we are all tomorrow's food today

there's no such thing as the good ol' days
the older we all get, the better we all were
there's no such as the end of the world
(but just in case!) you'd best batten down and button up
cause it's true, me and you
we are all tomorrow's food today

Rebel Girls lyrics - Incubus

Baby we could make it to the outer reaches of inner space
Create castles
Monuments to flesh
A triangled Valhalla on the side of the moon

Raven eyed those Valkyries
Rebel girls rebel girls tearing it up
Pay no mind to the divide
Raven eyes all over me, rebel girls rebel girls filling my cup
Damnit I need to collide

Do it so
Rebel girls rebel girls tearing it up
No one will know

Rarest pearls
Rebel girls rebel girls filling my cup
Rebel girls

Meeting at the gates is blue eyed and blonde
With black eyed and brown we'll make tangible
Inner space reflect the never quiet rebellion on the side of the moon

Raven eyed those Valkyries
Rebel girl rebel girls tearing it up
Pay no mind to the divide
Raven eyes all over me
Rebel girls rebel girls filling my cup
Damnit I need to collide

Do it so
Rebel girls rebel girls tearing it up
No one will know

Rarest pearls
Rebel girls rebel girls filling my cup
Rebel girls

Raven eyed those Valkyries
Rebel girls rebel girls tearing it up
Pay no mind to the divide.

Surface To Air lyrics - Incubus

Do you read me, mayday
Aeronaut to base
I confess I'm a mess
No egress
Alone, hovering in space

Is there anyone out there
Why the third degree?
Never knew
Until you
How silence could be so sonorous and deep

Wherever you are
Send out a flare
This is an attempt to connect,
Edify and dissect
Send a light
Send repair
From surface to air

Do you hear me, mayday?
I am in search of
But I'm caught in a knot
Goes to say
So below is as above

Is there anyone out there?
I am high and dry
Suffering is a theme
But reckoning is the only reason why
We suffer at all

To send out a flare
This is an attempt to connect
Edify and dissect
Send a light
Send repair
From surface to air

Is there anyone out there?

Suffering is a theme
But reckoning is the only reason why
We suffer at all
So send out a flare

Black Heart Inertia lyrics - incubus

Walking alone tonight
'Cause I've only got room for two
Me and my burdened black heart
It's all we know how to do

Yet I look for a bigger bang
Than the kind I continually see
Sick of all this inertia
I want a human being

Lover, can you help me?
I'm a child lost in the woods
A black heart pollutes me
And I think

You're a mountain that I'd like to climb
Not to conquer, but to share in the view

Pulled by a false inertia
Pushed out by circumstance
Pistol firing at my feet
That's coercing me to dance

Yet I look for a bigger bang
Than the kind I'm sorry to know.
Here I am, first foot of the climb
Watch me go.

Lover, can you help me?
I'm a child lost in the woods
A lit path eludes me
And I think

You're a mountain that I'd like to climb
Not to conquer, but to share in the view
You're a bonfire and I'm gathered 'round you
Set this old black heart inertia aflame

Send it away [x2]

You're a mountain
That I'd like to climb
Not to conquer, but to share in the view
You're a bonfire
And I'm gathered 'round you
Set this old black heart inertia aflame

Set it aflame, send it away

Midnight Swim lyrics - Incubus

A midnight swim 
Is what I'm needing 
A careless will 
A fast for feeding 

[Chorus]
I take to the deep 
Where the lights been til now 
Gotta break out and find 
What the day left behind 

So into blue 
Begin an ark 
The man was you 
True and spark oh 

[Chorus]
I take to the deep 
Where the lights been til now, safe 
Gotta break and out and find 
What the day left behind 

Nahhnoooo 
No no noooo 
Whoooooa no no no 
Whoooooa no no noooo 
Whoooooaaaa ahh 

Water and salt 
Secrets like new 
Arrive salt 
A midnight swim 

[Chorus]
I take to the deep 
Where the lights, until now, asleep 
Gotta break in and find 
What the day left behind 

Nooooooooooooooo 
No no noooooohh 
Whoooaaaaaa 
No no nooooooo 
Whooooaaahhooooaaaaa 
No noooooooo 
Whooahooo 
Aha

Make A Move lyrics - incubus

I'm at the end of my ribbon again
For those who own to apathy 
You had the perfect opportunity 
But bled the fifth and walked away 

Say something 
Make us proud
Cast the first stone 
Say anything at all
(Anything is everything, and more)

Make a move 

For every one thing we're ignorant of
A thousand more things beat the maze
You saw the apple hanging on the tree 
But missed the orchard in your gaze 

Say something 
Make us proud
Cast the first stone 
Say anything at all
(Anything is everything, and more)

Make a move 
(Hands on the eyes are the engines of demise)
Make a move

I'm cautious of who I would call a friend 
Who you aquaint is who you are 
The darkest hours are when we choose a side 
So make your pick and take a fall 

Say something 
Say anything at all 
Make a move 
(Hands on the eyes are the engines of demise)
Make a move

Neither Of Us Can See lyrics - Incubus

I am one big walking chemical reaction 
A buzzing hive of cell synapsis and nacent self perception

Isn't it disdainful and curious 
That both of us think we know everything

We both have brains, 
We both have eyes 
(Neither of us can see) 
We both have pains,
We both have lies 
(Neither of us can see) 
One in the same, two of a kind 
And neither of us can see

I am just a blinking, neon roadside attraction 
I sow future wrinkles and I'm told I'm untapped potential

Isn't it disdainful and curious 
That both of us think we know everything

We both have brains,
We both have eyes 
(Neither of us can see) 
We both have pains,
We both have lies 
(Neither of us can see) 
One in the same, two of a kind 
And neither of us can see

I am one big, fleeting errant contradiction 
It's so good to meet you 
We are one in the same

Isn't it disdainful and curious 
That both of us think we know everything

We both have brains, 
We both have eyes 
(Neither of us can see) 
We both have pains, 
We both have lies 
(Neither of us can see) 
One in the same, two of a kind 
And neither of us can see

While All The Vultures Feed lyrics - Incubus

The future is on fire
Of a dying breed
Don't understate our relevance
We're the eyes in the walls
And we witness the vultures feed, yeah

Stay wide awake, 
Stay wide awake, yeah
Make haste 'cause predators precede
Stay wide awake, 
Stay wide awake, yeah
While all the vultures feed

Like angles in a sphere
But of our own design
No more perpetual innocence
With our words we make shapes
And our angles can align, yeah

And their appetite's careless and menacing
It humbles me
When prey softly outwits its predator
Such is a sight to see

[X2]
Stay wide awake, 
Stay wide awake, yeah
Make haste 'cause predators precede
Stay wide awake, 
Stay wide awake, yeah
While all the vultures feed

[to fade] While all the vultures feed

Pantomime lyrics - Incubus

In my fantasy I'm a pantomime 
I'll just move my hands and everyone sees what I mean 
Words are too messy
And it's way past time 
To hand in my mouth 

Paint my face white and try to 
Reinvent the sea 
One wave at a time 
Speak without my voice and see the world by candlelight 

I ain't afraid to let it out 
I'm unafraid to take that fall 
But I have found beyond all doubt 
We say more by saying nothing at all 

In my fantasy no such thing as time 
Minutes bleed into days
Avant garde art
Show me your heresy
And I'll show you mine 
We only speak in pantomimes on this carpet ride 

I ain't afraid to let it out 
I'm unafraid to take that fall 
But I have found beyond all doubt 
We say more by saying nothing at all 

In my fantasy you look good entwined 
In my hair and skin and spit and sweat and spilled red wine 
You're my deep secret 
I'm your pantomime 
I'll just move my hands 
I promise you'll see what I mean
