Periphery - Periphery III: Select Difficulty Album Lyrics



Periphery - Periphery III: Select Difficulty Lyrics






The Price Is Wrong

Knock me out
And put a stone on my head
Or throw me on the tracks where the steel can kill me quick
The sound of emergency is stapling a fright upon their ears
I'm feeling surrounded
I'm feeling the slap of a thousand shit-brains
Behold my dark intensions rising from below

Beauty, disgusting, blood
Fatal wounds of the last emotion
Beauty, disgusting, blood
All will pay the price
ERRGHH YEAHHH

Now is the time that we separate our realities
Stopping a heart that beats inside the meddling
Correcting moments lost by living in the here and now
You're on the f*cking block

Tell me any way I can relate now
Before the generation dies
Time keeps moving faster and faster
And I can take the full step
Killing the generation

Beauty, disgusting, blood
Fatal wounds of the last emotion
Beauty, disgusting, blood
All will pay the price

Get off the f*cking building
I'll send em' sinking into the fires of fate
Every word is like a shotgun shell so
burn inside my hell
I'll drown before the f*cking ship hits the ocean floor and thank god I'm not alive
To see the slack-jawed generation spread it's f*cking seed

Tell me any way I can relate now
Before the generation dies
Time keeps moving
Faster and faster
And I can take the full step
Killing the generation

Beauty, disgusting, blood
Fatal wounds of the last emotion
Beauty, disgusting, blood
All will pay the price

Pouring sludge into the mouth they feed
They feed and I can't stand the stench of it
I didn't see the first and I sure won't see the last
But something has got to give
Something has got to give
Pouring sludge into the mouth they feed
They feed and I can't stand the stench of it
I didn't see the first and I sure as f*ck won't see the last
It would put a smile on my face just to take that breath away

Beauty, disgusting, blood
Beauty, disgusting, blood
Beauty, disgusting, blood
All will pay the price

Motormouth

Tell me, mannequin, what brings you to move?
Is it all of the colors in the magazine?
Following sucks
Paint your face now pose and filter the mood
Give it all you've got
You're just a click away from the fame now

Eat shit, motormouth
Swallow all of it down
You're pretty when you put the face on
And when you shut that mouth
Those chattering teeth lose my sympathy
Got a lot to say?
You've gotta leave it out of the game you play
You've gotta leave it out of the game you play

Nothing you say holds any value
It weaves through the ears like a worm
Searching for light of the masses
Motormouth, swallow down shit like you know how
Swallow and shut up
Motormouth, swallow down shit like you know how
Give it all you've got
You're just a click away from the fame
Give it all you've got
You're just a click away from the fame
Give it all you've got
You're just a click away

Eat shit, motormouth
Swallow all of it down
You're pretty when you put the face on
And when you shut that mouth
Those chattering teeth lose my sympathy
Got a lot to say?
You've gotta leave it out of the game you play
Oh, mannequin, what brings you to move?
You've gotta leave it out of the game you play
Tell me, mannequin, what brings you to move? Tell me!
You've gotta leave it out of the game you play

Only a conscience can stop me from beating you in
Not on the side, not on the side of the f*ck-stain
You leave on the earth
I may not be the force constricting sin
But you defile this planet
There's shit in your grin
No way I can end this screaming alone
No way we can stop this unless we choose to grow

What will they find, digging around in that oh so empty mind?
What will they find, digging around in that oh so empty mind?

Marigold

Latch to this life like a death grip,
We're satisfied
With the mundane I'm keeping out of sight,
But still we are young.
We are young.

I'll steer the angels down
Keep him in the back room, shut the door.
Let go.

And now he's there at the grave, cold, dead paralyzed.
Pushing daisies while we still feel the sunshine.

We are young.
We are young.

Sift through the marigolds to please our damaged souls.

This place is haunting me.
Jump through the rope let's make it credible.
When blood is all we see,
Life is impossible.

Death is coming 'round like a hurricane swirling.
We're on the clock and the needle's turning.
The misery's killing me slowly.
Give me a spine to work it out.

I'm just another one wandering endlessly on to the grave.

The signs of the times are upon us.
So we're pitting for tomorrow.
Sucking on the mother's dead tit
Of sorrow.
Sorrow.
It's all right.
We learn it all before we go.
Snapped by the neck as we swallow.
Chin up.
I'm tying the rope.
Leaving all hollow.

This place is haunting me.
Jump through the rope let's make it credible.
When blood is all we see,
Life is impossible.

Death is coming 'round like a hurricane swirling.
We're on the clock and the needle's turning fast.
The misery's killing me slowly.
Give me a spine to work it out.
No funeral. No pyre that's burning.
This body's dust in the wind that's hurling past.
The misery's killing me slowly.
Give me a spine to work it out.

I guess I will just leave things the way they are.

This place is haunting me.
Jump through the rope let's make it credible.
When blood is all we see.
Life is impossible.

(Death is coming 'round like a hurricane swirling.
We're on the clock and the needle's turning.
The misery's killing me slowly.
Give me a spine to work it out.)

Death is coming 'round like a hurricane swirling.
We're on the clock and the needle's turning fast.
The misery's killing me slowly.
Give me a spine to work it out.
No funeral. No pyre that's burning.
This body's dust in the wind that's hurling past.
The misery's killing me slowly.
Give me a spine to work it out.

The Way The News Goes...

Wake up
As I stumble into a blinding light
Deeper breaths enough to kill the highest highs
Take one good look and I'm at the lowest low again
Down at the bottom, but I'm fine

Tears march to lullabies and beat me like a drum
Oh no
It's not your average f*cking misery
This heart has chords, but not a single one sounds new or fun
Hit strings in dissonance
Pick on and on and on

Show them how to fly away when this world is torn
If you feel like dying, lose that forever
You're shining and it shows

You're shining and it shows
Living through the highest highs
You're shining and it shows
Down at the bottom, but I'm fine

I try to feed it, but it still wants more
Give me that feeling that I'm looking for

Show them how to fly away when this world is torn
If you feel like dying, lose that forever
We're shining and it shows

Wake up
As I stumble into a blinding light
Deeper breaths enough to kill the highest highs
Take one look and I'm at the lowest low again
At the bottom, but I'm fine
At the bottom, but it's all so wrong
At the bottom, but it's all so wrong

Tears march to lullabies and beat me like a drum
It's not your average f*cking misery
This heart has chords, but not a single one sounds new or fun
So long to sanity
For now that's how it goes

Tears march to lullabies and beat me like a drum
It's not your average f*cking misery
This heart has chords, but not a single one sounds new or fun
So long to sanity
For now that's how it goes

Remain Indoors

Beauty is but a visual in fantasy
Mistakes are only real when you slip out of it
Beauty is but a visual in fantasy
Mistakes are only real when you become the mess

Fall back on the cloud, man when there's nothing new left to do
And there's not a single thought in the cross-hairs of your mind
Stop shouting from a mountain
Maybe sing a tune from within you
We've gotta move to the meadows from the mire

This is a view from outer tunnel-vision
I'm holding position
This is a view from outer tunnel-vision

Now let go of your senses and let go of your time
We already know the message is gold
Can't we lighten the stride?
No reflection shows the dark on our side
We already know the message is gold
Can't we lighten the stride?

Beauty is but a visual in fantasy
Mistakes are only real when you slip out of it
Beauty is but a visual in fantasy
Mistakes are only real when you become the mess

Let go of your senses and let go of your time
We already know that the message is gold
So let's lighten the stride
No reflection shows the dark on our side
We already know the f*cking message is gold
So let's lighten the stride

You can follow with me
Or keep walking against me
It doesn't f*cking matter, because I tried
You can follow with me
Or keep walking against me
It doesn't make a goddamn difference

Now let go of your senses and let go of your time
We already know the message is gold
Can't we lighten the stride?
No reflection shows the dark on our side
We already know the message is gold
Can't we lighten the stride?

This is a view from outer tunnel-vision
I'm holding position
This is a view from outer tunnel-vision

This is a view from outer tunnel-vision
I'm holding position
This is a view from outer tunnel-vision

Habitual Line-Stepper

We walked the line
Living in a state of mind controlled by a tyrant
Mistakes burn
Never did he learn to back off and spit that shit
I'm that motherf*cker picking in your old brain and stealing sleep
Take the dive or keep it alive?
Now it's on you

Your tower is falling down into a black hole
Take it away
Take it away now
The agony is crumbling over your soul
Take it away
Take it away now

I'd like to take the prize of your high and jam it deep down your throat
They're calling for the stage to take their breath away
You were the barricading man
They're calling for the stage to give everything away
You were the barricading man

Your tower is falling down into a black hole
Take it away
Take it away now
The agony is crumbling over your soul
Take it away
Take it away now

Lost in the violent throes of this separation
Done waiting on pleasant times
They never arrived
Lost in the violent throes of this separation
Know what you're waiting for?
Watch as they burn your home
I felt insane, but it's finally come home to me...
My dear brain, hate
Feel hate
Let go of all your fear

They're calling for the stage to take their breath away
You were the barricading man
They're calling for the stage to give everything away
You were the barricading man

Show us the way
Your tower is falling down into a hole
The agony is pouring over your damned soul
Was there a way to be a better man and stay?
Was there a way?
We'll never know
Show us the way
Was there a way to be a better man and stay?
Was there a way?
We'll never know

Flatline

All rise.

Judged like a jury, but in a trial.
No respect for the young and innocent.

Guilty.

Now shut the doors and then open fire.
So fail to make the connection
and lose beauty in the mouth of rejection.

Can't we understand that no life is out of our hands?

Suffocation and the fear of living setting in, so let go.
Let go before he let's go.
Patience is wearing thin and leaving him, so let go.

Let go before he lets go of of this life.

I wonder what goes on?

Before he lets go he says,

Send an angel, they're growing from the hell beyond.
This weight is far too much to hold.
And this body doesn't feel like home.
Send and angel, I feel I'm dying all alone.
So lift me up or let me go.

'Cause this body doesn't feel like home.
No
This body doesn't feel like home.
No

Love feels far away.
The lack of motivation keeps the soul from bettering.
It's no life.
Now reach the next level with a bottle and a blade.
Retreating it is no way.

Suffocation and the fear of living setting in, so let go.
Let go before he lets go.
Patience is wearing thin and leaving him, so let go.

Let go before he lets go of this life.

I wonder what goes on behind those bloodshot eyes?

I wonder what goes on?

Before he let's go he says,

Send an angel, they're growing from the hell beyond.
This weight is far too much to hold.
And this body doesn't feel like home.
Send and angel, I feel I'm dying all alone.
So lift me up or let me go.

'Cause this body doesn't feel like home.

Sleep now and carry on into the black of the night.
Sleep now and you'll be on your way.
There's another one moving on from the flatline.
Flatline.

Sleep into the fray.
Sleep between the night and day.

Sleep now and carry on into the black of the night.
Head greaves with everything but does it make it right?
There's another one moving on from the flatline.
Flatline.

Sleep now and carry on, it doesn't matter.
Head greaves with everything but does it make it right?
There's another one moving on from the flatline.
Flatline.

Absolomb

Reputations made
I failed to save
The cold I seek is all I'll feel
Today I'm selling mine after all
Watch it all fade away to gray
I sold it to rule the world
If only I could rescue you
Cleaning up the mess we've made
It's not the same without your love

Do you care at all?
I don't see a difference
Is this love at all?

We stayed so close in this life at one time
Now I watch as you fade away
Behind the wall of hate inside your mind
Will we meet again?
I'll be waiting beyond the edge
Forever frozen
Now time stops again
Revelation

I've found that it's all gone
The absence within us grows
Illuminate the way we choose to flow

Do you care at all?
I don't see the difference
Is this love at all?

I hold one last feeling of hope
Our paths will meet again
Beyond the edge
Frozen forever
Time stops now

Catch Fire

Lock eyes like we're staring down the barrel of a shotgun
Appear so quickly, leave as swiftly as you came
Sometimes I wish I had the measure of a wise man
But I set the mood, I plant the tomb and bury all the bones within

It sure is something when we all catch fire
Bodies burning like the sunrise
Stay with me, I'll show you paradise
It feels so right
Give me that peace of mind, I'll give you everything
Just know it feels so good that I could die and be alright

Alive, we breathe when everthing is as it seems
But is there something much more?
Underneath the sheets, beneath the skin
There's a beauty waiting to be adored

We're cradled in the thick of it, but too ignorant to give a shit
We set the mood, we plant the tomb and bury all the bones within
Don't keep me hanging from the mouth

Yeah, sure is something when we all catch fire
Bodies burning like the sunrise
Stay with me, I'll show you paradise
It feels so right
Give me that peace of mind, I'll give you everything
Just know it feels so good that I could die and join the stars
Give me that peace of mind, I'll give you everything
Just stay with me, I'll show you paradise
It feels so right

We exist in this moment only to fly
Just stay with me
Twisting love as we hold it on the inside
Just stay with me

How yet sure is something when we all catch fire
Bodies burning like the sunrise
Stay with me, I'll show you paradise
It feels so right
Give me that peace of mind, I'll give you everything
Just know it feels so good that I could die and join the stars
Give me that peace of mind, I'll give you everything
Just stay with me, I'll show you paradise
It feels so right

Prayer Position

Another day pulls me down to my knees
And hold the gun to my f*cking head
Can't feel a thing
Prayer position holding my life above the muck
Oh god, I'm speaking in swirling bowls
And now the walls are laughing in silence
Spiraling down to the floor
Can't feel a thing
Like a [?] to the cord
When will it end, when is it over and when can I live?

The bar is held down on my throat
Kicking and screaming
I live this life down in a hole
Down in a hole

Take away misery tomorrow
Shine the light and end this dimming glow
Take away misery tomorrow
Shine the light to end this dimming glow

The day is gone
Now turns the night
Our bodies glow ever so bright
The crash is done
We reach new highs
Our bodies glow ever so bright
Venture through these eyes
Venture through these eyes and lose all time

Scratch the itch and murder the body for pleasure
Sparking it up, breathing the fire we crave
Guzzle it down, feeling the sparkle together
Ante it up and blow me away for the high, let's go
What are we doing and where have the morals all gone?
Now is the time, this is the feeling we treasure
You won't remember, but godamnit it's fine

The bar is held down on my throat
Kicking and screaming
I live this life down in a hole

Take away misery tomorrow
Shine the light and end this dimming glow
Take away misery tomorrow
Shine the light to end this dimming glow

Stomp my head, throw it down in a hole
Stomp on my heart, let's go

Stomp my head, throw it down in a hole
Stomp on my heart, let's go
Stomp my head, throw it down in a hole
Blowing your way, let's go
Blowing your way, let's go

Lune

The snow coming down now
Like December burning up in the summer rays
But I'm not stumbling, like a pretender
Medicine flowing through my veins

Heavy eyes but a tongue won't stutter
Mouths are moving and this heart's still fluttering
I'm on my own
You found me in the cold, now I am
Wrapped within the warmth of your touch
There's never a moment that I'd let slip by, in your eyes
Are we growing old day and day?
Am I melting in the rays of this love?
Never ever gonna let you go
Don't let go

Never gonna let you go

Slow it down, now
I cannot remember why I let them chew on my brain
They've come and left this town
In smouldering embers
But my gift will die in your eye

Heavy eyes but a tongue won't stutter
Mouths are moving and this heart's still fluttering
I'm on my own
You found me in the cold, now I am
Wrapped within the warmth of your touch
There's never a moment that I'd let slip by, in your eyes
Are we growing old day and day?
Am I melting in the rays of this love?
Never ever gonna let you go
Don't let go

Do you feel the love?
Yes, I feel the love
Chase it, hold it, feel it, never let it go
Do you feel the love?
Yes, I feel the love
Do you feel the love?
Yes, I feel the love
Chase it, hold it, feel it, never let it go
Never let it go
Don't let go
Don't let go
