EP: Trust Fall (Side A) (2015)




















Trust Fall lyrics - Incubus

It's only a trust fall
It's only a trust fall

Things have been a little inside out, apologies
Babe, I'm gonna ride out the tide, take it in stride
Where would I run to?
Even if I was in disguise, it'll follow me
It's funny how the little things stick, make you seasick
Sweep you off your feet!
Sweep me off my feet!

It's only a trust fall
Into the arms of all
Love is a blessed curse!
Lets you sail across the known universe

I like it when you look at me like I'm an alien
Lure me with a lock of your hair
Taking that dare is a fire under my feet
Now I see I gotta let go if I wanna know
Gotta let it steal my face
Now I embrace
What's in front of me!
Right in front of me!

It's only a trust fall
Into the arms of all
Love is a blessed curse
Lets you sail across the known universe

Everyone's in on it
And only a fool would quit
Love is the last and first!
Lets you sail across the known universe
Love is the last and first
Lets you sail across the known universe
It's only a trust fall
(Ah!)

It's only a trust fall
Into the arms of all
Love is a blessed curse!
Lets you sail across the known universe

Everyone's in on it
And only a fool would quit
Love is the last and first!
Lets you sail across the known universe
Love is a blessed curse!
Lets you sail across the known universe
It's only a trust fall
(Ah!)

The palms of your feet
The whites of your eyes
The marrow in the tree
The sap in your bones
Same as the pistol, heavy in hand
Same as the storms, spinning on Io
Not a divide
That's an illusion, a collective dream
You startle and wake
Salute the abyss
Smile and surrender
Into a glimpse
The rapturous nothing
Into the arms of your captor
Into the arms of the all
Into the arms of the all
Into the arms (of the all)
Of he all

Make Out Party lyrics - Incubus

Girl I wanna kiss you
But not just on your lips, no
Tips of your fingers and every intersection
Start again then at your pinky toe
I know you know

Can you tell I miss you?
From my cadence and tempo
Lips are a trigger, and maybe this connection
Is a point we should be aiming for

Could we make up?
Could we make out?
Could we make up?
Could we make out?

I get high every time I get the taste of you on my tongue
And I know you're one to hold on to
Oh, a deep sigh every time I get a hint of you in my mind
Cause I know you won't be held onto

Babe, I've got a weakness for the backs of your knees, your
Honey spilt over, and now I am an army of ants
And we're all thinking the same thought
"Let's get to work."
Let me introduce you to my slippery fingers
Glistening and dangerous I'll use them all in ways
That would make you giggle at my funeral

Whoa, I get high every time I get the taste of you on my tongue
And I know you're one to hold on to
Oh, a deep sigh every time I get a hint of you in my mind
Cause I know you won't be held onto

Could we make up?
Could we make out?
Could we make up?
Could we make out?

Can you tell I miss you?
From my cadence and tempo
Lips are a trigger, and maybe this connection
Is a point we should be aiming for

Can you tell I miss you?
From my cadence and tempo
Lips are a trigger, and maybe this connection
Is a point we should be aiming for

Absolution Calling lyrics - Incubus

It's like an intuition or a feeling in the air
An intangible impression that's always everywhere
You bit into the apple, laid down your sword and shield
(Untie! A little bit dies a little each time the medicine smiles)
Then spun round like a gyre in the unified field
(Inside your elegant guide, an arrow in flight, a million miles)

I remember feeling the opposite of falling
(Into that spot, where we untie every knot)
Spinning past the ceiling, absolution calling
"Are you there or not?"

It's an open invitation, come see the sights of sages
We've been a pride of lions, so afraid to leave our cages
Don't fret over the pieces that smolder in the sun
(Untie! A little bit dies a little each time the medicine smiles)
Cause nothing can be broken when everything is one
(Inside your elegant guide, an arrow in flight, a million miles)

I remember feeling the opposite of falling
(Into that spot, where we untie every knot)
Spinning past the ceiling, absolution calling
"Are you there or not?"
I remember feeling the opposite of falling
(Into that spot, where we untie every knot)
Spinning past the ceiling, absolution calling
"Are you there or not?"

You bit into the apple, laid down your sword and shield
(Untie! A little bit dies a little each time the medicine smiles)
Then spun round like a gyre in the unified field
(Inside your elegant guide, an arrow in flight, a million miles)

I remember feeling the opposite of falling
(Into that spot, where we untie every knot)
Spinning past the ceiling, absolution calling
"Are you there or not?"
I remember feeling the opposite of falling
(Into that spot, where we untie every knot)
Spinning past the ceiling, absolution calling
"Are you there?"

Dance Like You're Dumb lyrics - Incubus

Nobody gets what you got
Without getting all hot
With the boss' daughter
Taking her out on the town
Dizzy up, spin her 'round
Making out with her dress turned upside down

Have a drink!
What you think?
She's all heels and kink
Bet you thought you landed
Then like a pink Boba Fett
She calls you on your bet
And your hat is the least of
What you're handed

Dance because you're young
And you don't need a reason
Dance just like you got your legs from a cartoon
Dance just like you're dumb
Like you don't need the money
Dance under the moon
'Cause you never know, never know

You were kissed with a fist
Now you're tied at the wrist
To the boss man's daughter
You thought singing her praises
Would get you a raise
Now you're just like a horse being led to the water

If I come on in, take you on the chin
Is a price worth paying
For a glimpse, just a look
Let's have one of the books!
She's a pink Boba Fett
And that's all I'm saying

Dance because you're young
And you don't need a reason
Dance just like you got your legs from a cartoon
Dance just like you're dumb
Like you don't need the money
Dance under the moon
'Cause you never know, never know

(Never know, never know)
(Never know, never know)
(Never know, never know)

Like you don't need a reason
Yeah, you don't need the money
Yeah, you don't need a reason
Yeah, you don't need the money
Like you don't need a reason
Like you don't need the money
Like you don't need a reason
Like you don't need a money

Just when you thought you were done
Catch your breath too much fun
Now the red lights flashing
She kept a rainbow of pills
She was up on her thrills
Both her brains and her body like
Took good bashing

Of course, they're not mine!
Officer, I'm not trying to put it all on her
Put it on who, city boy?
Take a look, it's just you
Now I'm just like a lamb headed to the slaughter

Dance because you're young
And you don't need a reason
Dance just like you got your legs from a cartoon
Dance just like you're dumb
Like you don't need the money
Dance under the moon
'Cause you never know, never know

Yeah, you never know never know
Dance!

Bathe In My Snot lyrics - Incubus

Stones of thought the sleeper awakes
Gone but a choice which path will I take
No longer my prison my key to the past
I'll mention your sorrow now love will ever last

Love will ever last

Your voice on a thought now is your blood
A chance for new life
Now so close in your eye
The same lies now renders my thought
You belted me silly, now bathe in my snot!

Stones of thought the sleeper awakes
Gone but a choice which path will I take
No longer my prison my key to the past
I'll mention your sorrow now love will ever last

Love will ever last

Damnation? lyrics - Incubus

Follow me down
Swallow it down
A little bit of something instigating your frown
The moon on the town, the blood on your gown
You're always picturesque
Stomp the haunted mood in your crown
I used to think about it then I...
Chose the word indulgence, now I...
Just need some more to stand my own

Why I live this way?
Who knows?
Why I live this way?
He knows
Is this damnation?
Or a beginning?
I'll take "B"
Is this damnation?
Or a beginning?
I'll take "B"
Oh oh oh oh oh

So once again the thought into my
And visualize the blood as the life
Is to bend the wheel of my own kind
I wish you'd see the hope in my eye
All in all sublime on this side
Then again you'd have to leave this life...
...behind

Why I live this way
Who knows?
Why I live this way
He knows
Is this damnation?
Or a beginning?
I'll take "B"
Is this damnation?
Or a beginning?
I'll take "B"

Follow lyrics - Incubus

Look at you with all your shiny
Toys for boys, it's all unnerving
Bold and new but dark and spotty
The toys enjoy the undeserving

Don't ask, don't tell, follow
Don't ask, don't tell, yeah

Fat the world then sink your teeth in
Cannibal and missionary
Toes are curled
My thanks uneven
When tales so tall are ordinary

Don't ask, don't tell, follow
Don't ask, don't tell, yeah
Don't ask, don't tell, follow
Don't ask, don't tell, yeah

Hold Me Down lyrics - Incubus

The road is long
The trees are orange and brown
I'm not afraid to leave this goddamn town
I've had enough
I'm gone, I won't look back
I walk awhile, along the rail road track

I'm obliged to you babe, but this place you see, is trying to hold me down
I want more than you can offer (hold me down)
I am off to anywhere but here (hold me down)
I keep walking so nobody can hold me down

The others, beware of what they say
Take your pill, and remember to pray
I've had enough
There's too much to live down
I need to break out of this goddamn town

I'm obliged to you babe, but this place you see, is trying to hold me down
I want more than you can offer (hold me down)
I am tired of all the if's and when's (hold me down)
I keep walking so nobody can hold me down

I need more than you can offer (hold me down)
I am off to anywhere but here (hold me down)
I'm still walking cause nobody can hold me down

Hold me down
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
Ooh
Whoa, whoa
Ooh yeah

Yeah

I want more than you can offer
I am off to anywhere but here
I keep walking so nobody can hold me down

Hold me down
Hold me down
Hold me down

Little Kitten, Big Litter Box lyrics - Incubus

Nebulas bloom, planets collide and comets zoom around the checker board like a bratty little brother on his new blue bike leaving snail trails of ice in his wake

Ancient cosmic afterbirth floats helplessly on its own inertia waiting impatiently for the next bullying gas giant to nudge it towards its next destination and I sit in a Thai restaurant basking in the curry, fretting over the uncertainty of the dawn

I need to arm myself like a rodent lower on the food chain readying itself for the next attack from all sides

The voice inside the box is certain that if I get what he has my armor will be complete, my hole will be filled, and the bombardment will cease

"This sweater does this, that gadget does those, and this magazine will address the most pertinent aspects of my dot, dot, dot, com" and I believe him! I don't want to but I do!

I am a little kitten in a big, shit filled litter box and I share this facility with a billion other fiercely independent felines who want badly to arm themselves too against the burdens of uncertainty and keep their paws clean in the meantime! Meantime, meantime, meantime
Yet the more I dig, the more I consume, the more I unfold, the less protected I feel

I am the spit on the hair of a son of an electron swimming around the nucleus of a cell inside the sperm of a killer bee and my purpose is as nebulous as why we've been bestowed with the capacity to give a shit

Miss Bliss lyrics - Incubus

I've seen a place not far away
Where people are individuals
And every car has a phone
They'll bend backwards just to hear you say,
"I've got a new 'Rolls' so why can't I take you home?"
Enough with their materialism and anal retentive state of mind
All you need is yourself and a cause so the truth will be all that you will find

What? Save me! God? Save me!
What? Save me!

You dress to impress and intimidate
All in hopes that you'll catch a glimpse of a star
Your guard is up and I see right through you
Those credit cards and your make-up have gone too far!
Enough with their materialism and anal retentive state of mind
All you need is yourself and a cause so the truth will be all that you will find...

Why can't I...dismiss my own vibe?
Please help me...piss miss bliss away!
I look and I...see your fucking face!
Smiles kept by a...hidden will to live!!!!!
You can't see what your cheap mind game has done for me!

Pillow Your Eyes lyrics - Incubus

Viewed the scene on a black and white TV
Chose your words, "Hey mom I want to be..."
So, study hard. Your work became your cell
Don't you dare inhale, or you'll be damned to hell!
No!

You'll be damned to hell!
Nothing

Yes, back and in your prime and things are in a swirl
Solaced with your choice, out pops a baby girl!
Family now complete, and power's in your hands
You've won the greatest prize, it's time to take a stand

Sphincter freed last on your common throne
You think the kill weeds chomping at your noodles flow
There's something about the herb, so fast, hypnotize
A ripened head change that'll pillow your eyes, yeah
Pillow your eyes, pillow your eyes

Will you be the Superman inflicting drastic change?
The power of your name has spanded out a boundless range
Will you meet the needs of a fast paced, awkward, life-span I call "we"?
Our trust is now within you. So by soul cries let it be
Pillow your eyes, pillow your eyes

Sphincter freed last on your common throne
You think the kill weeds chomping at your noodles flow
There's something about the herb, so fast, hypnotize
A ripened head change that'll pillow your eyes, yeah
Pillow your eyes

Pillow your eyes
Pillow your eyes
Pillow your eyes

Sphincter freed last on your common throne
You think the kill weeds chomping at your noodles flow
There's something about the herb, so fast, hypnotize
A ripened head change that'll pillow your eyes, yeah
Pillow your eyes, pillow your eyes

Pillow your eyes
Pillow your eyes
Pillow your eyes

Sphincter freed last on your common throne
You think the kill weeds chomping at your noodles flow
There's something about the herb, so fast, hypnotize
A ripened head change that'll pillow your eyes, yeah
Pillow your eyes, pillow your eyes

Sphincter freed last on your common throne
You think the kill weeds chomping at your noodles flow
There's something about the herb, so fast, hypnotize
A ripened head change that'll pillow your eyes

Purple Kool-Aid lyrics - Incubus

Wake up, I wipe the sleepers from my eye
Look up and see it's 2:35
Get up, I thought I'd sleep until ten to
Up in the cold and start the day with you
They call themselves the purple Kool-Aid cult
They lost their head and claim it's all my fault
I'm fed Kool-Aid intravenously
I must regain my own autonomy!

The purple Kool-Aid cult is back, I'm paranoid again
Would someone please appease all the stress of my

Sorry friend, there's no way I can stay
Wish I could explain the reason why
I'm being chased so please pardon my haste
Please appease the stress of my brown head

They turned their backs and I began to run
Looked back for a flash and I began to shout
I've got to find a passage out of here
I'm not too certain that the future's clear
And now I'm alone and to what type to wear
And then they set upon a skinny chair
They're gathering now around a sugar throne
It's red and round and speaks of miracles

The purple Kool-Aid cult is back, I'm paranoid again
Would someone please appease all the stress of my
He says he's going to be in your mouth
Weird ritual for you and I to mate
I see a door I see astray

I pick up a furious pace so I can get away
Don't smile a purple pleasure hangs the cape
Oh me, oh my, it was the great escape
The situation, it's still to me a bit of a scandal
Every time I see a purple smile within my underwear

The purple Kool-Aid cult is back, I'm paranoid again
Would someone please appease all the stress of my

Sorry friend there's no way I could stay
Wish I could explain the reason why
I'm being chased so please pardon my haste
Please appease the stress of my brown head

Four years and twenty days float on by
Carried out that silicone and taste is left behind
I'm going next door to celebrate I say
And I think that this Kool-Aid
Is the punch that got me drunk today

Next thing I know I'm standing on a chair
Whipping my arms around the friendly air
I preached the words around a year ago
I now surrender to the certain glow

The purple Kool-Aid cult is back, I'm paranoid again
Would someone please appease all the stress of my

Sorry friend there's no way I could stay
Wish I could explain the reason why
I'm being chased so please pardon my haste
Please appease the stress of my brown head

Four years and twenty days float on by
Carried out that silicone and taste is left behind
I'm going next door to celebrate I say
And I think that this Kool-Aid
Is the punch that got me drunk today

I'm being
I'm being chased by seven kids high on Kool-Aid
But then they're not crazy cause they're high on Kool-Aid
But then they're not crazy they're just high on Kool-Aid

We're Smokin' The Herb Again lyrics - Incubus

Yo yo yo, yo, yo yo
What?

Smoking
We're smoking, we're smoking the herb again
We're smoking, we're smoking, we're smoking the herb again
We're smoking, we're smoking, we're smoking the herb again
We're smoking, we're smoking, we're smoking the herb again

Damn, I really wish I could find my sack man
Must have got eaten by Pac-Man
If I had it I could smoke again
Smoke with my friends until the very end
But now I'm trying to comprehend
When's the next time that I'll smoke again
I need to know, please tell when will we smoke again

I got a buddy, his name is Ted
He's got a problem going through his head
He doesn't know how to puff puff give
But I like him so I'll teach him and I'll let him live
Every day we teach him right
When he defies, we have to fight
But at the end of the trying day
We says it's OK and we puff away

Just the other night, I saw you, you were smoking not sharing and being tight
But that's OK, you are my friend, we're smoking it until the end
The lessons that we put out, we order you to try it out
It's nice to smoke, yea that's what we're all about

Smoking
We're smoking, we're smoking the herb again
We're smoking, we're smoking, we're smoking the herb again
We're smoking, we're smoking, we're smoking the herb again
We're smoking, we're smoking, we're smoking the herb again

Hey, ho, hey, ho, hey, ho, hey, ho, hey, ho, hey, ho
Spit it ya wet it, don't babysit it just hit it, now pass it to the left

I smoke, you smoke, we smoke, they smoke, smoking everywhere
I smoke, you smoke, we smoke, they smoke, smoking all together

Smoking
We're smoking, we're smoking the herb again
We're smoking, we're smoking, we're smoking the herb again
We're smoking, we're smoking, we're smoking the herb again
We're smoking, we're smoking, we're smoking the herb again

"If Not Now, When?" (2011)




If Not Now, When? lyrics - Incubus

I have waited
Dined on ashes
Swung from chandeliers and climbed Everest
And none of it's got me close to this

I've waited all my life
If not now, when will I?

We've been good
Even a blast, but
Don't you feel like something's missing here?
Don't you dare

I've waited all my life
If not now, when will I?
Stand up and face the bright light
Don't hide your eyes
It's time

No umbrellas
No sunglasses
Hailing Hallelujah everyday

I've waited all my life
If not now, when will I?
Stand up and face the bright light
Don't hide your eyes
It's time

Promises, Promises lyrics - Incubus

I'm only twenty-three for
Another hour, give or take,
I'm a fan of yours
And I need a good mistake

I'm not a sinner, a preacher
All I have is slight of hand
I do magic tricks for
All the boys in the band

[Bridge]
Baby could I be
The rabbit in your hat?
I'd swing if you'd hand me..
Hand me the bat

[Refrain]
I'm on the road of least resistance
I'd rather give up than give into this
So promise me only one thing, would you?
Just don't ever make me promises..
No promises, no promises

I've never done this before
Promises, promises,
I'm enjoying the illusion
And the things my body says

Now you see me, now you don't
Oh, how well you disappear
What are you running from
And may I interfere?

[Bridge X2]
Baby could I be
The rabbit in your hat?
I'd swing if you'd hand me..
Hand me the bat

[Refrain X2]
I'm on the road of least resistance
I'd rather give up than give into this
So promise me only one thing, would you?
Just don't ever make me promises..
No promises, no promises

Friends And Lovers lyrics - Incubus

I'm an empty well
Running out of black gold
It's high time I pulled over
And walked around for a while

I've seen the porcelain shell
Your exoskeleton
And I feel like we'd walk well together

Because in the end, we are friends and lovers

If asked of me I would
Gobble them to bits
The things that wall us off from
Where we belong

What's wrong with you is good
For what's wrong with me
And I think maybe we should stick together

Because in the end, we are friends and lovers
We are friends and lovers

Abandon all the bones
We've got to pick
They'll only weigh us down and
We are better than that

If they all throw stones
Start a collection
Of everything we're not
And won't be-cause

You should never have to defend
(Never have to defend)
Being friends and lovers
Being friends and lovers (oh)
Being friends and lovers

Thieves lyrics - Incubus

You're happy all the time
I just don't understand why I can't be happy too
Your smiles are salt in the wound
A slap upon a back that's been toiling in the sun

When will I get mine?
Or must I be a god-fearing, white american?
Oh everything is fine
As long as you're a god-fearing, white american

Why should the thieves have all of the fun?
Selling us water by the river, they don't speak for everyone
I'm ready to run and you're making me crawl
Selling me water by the river, they don't speak for me at all

The man about the town
The beauty queen, the paragon of civilization
But shadows cling to us all
Even those convinced that they're sheltered and immune

When will I get mine?
Or must I be a god-fearing, white american?

Why should the thieves have all of the fun?
Selling us water by the river, they don't speak for everyone
I'm ready to run and you're making me crawl
Selling me water by the river, they don't speak for me at all

Isadore lyrics - Incubus

Erica and her Isadore
climbed aboard a balloon
I want more than this kite will soar
I've set our sights on the moon

You can't just leave, I've given everything
I can't believe you're taking everything
You're taking everything
Oh...

It's not who you were
it's who you are
and we've come this far lover
No, I won't rest
until the world
knows the name Isadore

Blinded by their unbridled height
our lovers turned dissolute

You can't just leave, I've given everything
I can't believe you're taking everything
You're taking everything
Oh...

It's not who you were
it's who you are
and we've come this far lover
No, I won't rest
until the world
knows the name Isadore
knows the name Isadore

Then with eyes wide, a splintered sight
There's just one parachute
Goodbye Erica now I see
that my worst fears were in tune

It's not who you were
it's who you are
and we've come this far lover
No, I won't rest
until the world
knows the name Isadore
knows the name Isadore
Won't rest
until the world
knows the name Isadore

The Original lyrics - Incubus

I only go where I'm wanted
You go only where you want
I aim to be more like you
There is a ghost in my house
Rattling handles on every door
Show us an open window or two
Would you?

Doors are starting to close
And you drew a rose my, my
Your mind it is original, oh
You're a skeleton key, opening me,
My, my; your mind it is original,
Girl you're the original
Always were
And always will be

The flowers of adaptation
Unfold and lovingly alarm
You effortlessly ring that bell
Your stripes are yours and yours only
The bow ideal of rare birds
And now I am under your spell
Oh, under your spell

Doors are starting to close
And you drew a rose my, my
Your mind it is original, oh
You're a skeleton key, opening me,
My, my; your mind it is original,
Girl you're the original
Always were
And always will be

Defiance lyrics - Incubus

Ooh, ooh, ooh,
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh,
Ooh, ooh, ooh

You almost had me there
It was the batting lashes that gave you away
You're bold beyond repair
And there's an absence today
Of defiance
Our most awakened inclination
And your elegant aberration

Ooh, ooh, ooh,
Ooh, ooh, ooh

Something's happening
When all the rebels and devils have come to not
But hear your sirening
And who would un-ring, oh, your bell?

Defiance, our most awakened inclination
Defiance, your elegant aberration

Ooh, ooh, ooh,
Ooh, ooh, ooh

In The Company Of Wolves lyrics - Incubus

I was lost but now I am found.
A line was crossed, a vessel run aground.
The boy has gone, let's grieve and let him go.
He left at dawn, but it's a new day don't you know?

In the company of wolves I sat in silence
observant and afraid

It was there with their eyes like glowing embers
the man you see was made.

I was low but now I am high.
It helps to know serenity from ennui.
Something's wrong, something's wrong, when it all remains the same.
So face the fire, come into your name.

In the company of wolves I sat in silence, observant and afraid.
It was there with their eyes like glowing embers, the man you see was made. Ohhhhhooo..

Even I can't recall how many days I have been out there
For when Aurora's lights ceased to shine, I was alive I think for the first time.
Infinity it falls, in feathery folds but she bites like loveless ice,
and with her belly full she called this rite of passage, it was the longest night of my life.

(It was, it was, it was, it was
It was, it was...

It was the longest night of my life.

(It was, it was, it was, it was
It was, it was, it was...

Even I can't recall how many days I have been out there for
But when Aurora's lights ceased to shine, I was alive, I think, for the first time.
Infinity it falls, in feathery folds but she bites like loveless ice,
and with her belly full she called this rite of passage, it was the longest night of my life.

(It was, it was, it was, it was
It was, it was...

It was the longest night of my life.

(It was, it was, it was, it was
It was, it was, it was...

Switchblade lyrics - incubus

I keep getting attacked by,
The girl in the black hat
The girl in the black hat

I can't find any shade,
But I'll be suede as long as I got a switchblade

I keep getting the eye from,
The girl in the thigh highs
The girl in the thigh highs

Whose iris is of jade
And built to persuade
And they're swift like a switchblade

Switchblade
Switchblade

They're swift like a switchblade

Switchblade

Nobody wears it like you anymore,
Nobody wears it like you anymore

Light like a feather,
Bright like a dying star

Cut those together,
Girl that is what you are

Wild eyes forever,
Built to punish and persuade

I lied to get her
But all I got was a switchblade

A Switchblade

So just give me the facts,
Who's the girl in the black hat
The girl in the black hat

I can't find any shade,
But I'll be swayed as long as I got a switchblade

I think I'm getting her eyes,
On all American thighs
Her American thighs.

She got her black hat,
And irises of jade
And I got a switchblade.

Switchblade

Yes, I've got a switchblade

Nobody wears it like you anymore,
Nobody wears it like you anymore

Light like a feather,
Bright like a dying star

Cut those together,
Girl that is what you are

Wild eyes forever,
Built to punish and persuade

I lied to get her
But all I got was a switchblade

A switchblade

Nobody wears it like you anymore,
Nobody wears it like you

I keep getting attacked by,
The girl in the black hat
The girl in the black hat

I can't find any shade,
But I'll be swayed as long as I got a switchblade

Switchblade

Light like a feather,
Bright like a dying star

Cut those together,
Girl that is what you are

Wild eyes forever,
Built to punish and persuade

I lied to get her
But all I got was a switchblade

Yes, I got a switchblade

Light like a feather,
Bright like a dying star

Cut those together,
Girl that is what you are

Wild eyes forever,
Built to punish and persuade

I lied to get her
But all I got was a switchblade

Yes, I got a switchblade...

Adolescents lyrics - Incubus

I'm feeling out of bounds, out of bounds
I'm running out of time, out of time
I know there's no such thing as either of them
But its doesn't make me feel any better

Out of sight, out of mind
Out of sight, out of mind
We're out of time
We're out of mind
Out of mind
Out of mind
Yeah, yeah

I’m feeling overwhelmed, overwhelmed
It’s getting out of line, line, line
I know I’m not alone
Just adolescents, you and I
It doesn’t make me feel any better

Out of sight, out of mind
Out of sight, out of mind
We're out of time
We're out of mind
Out of mind
Out of mind
Yeah, yeah
Out of sight, out of mind
Out of sight, out of mind
We're out of time
We're out of mind
Out of mind
Out of mind
We're out of mind
Yeah

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
