Piñata lyrics - Chevelle

Well hell if I
Should decide
To give it more
A little effort
Well hell if I'm
Tempted again
One little fight
Replace by lust for you

I'll ask my curious side to follow you
To a bed of angels
Can't help this wandering eye
Well lucky you
The devil made ya (look)

Well I've never tried
Pulling you in
Lucky at last
Defending answers
It's almost like
You're breaking my piñata while I'm hinting
At my lust for you

I'll ask my curious side to follow you
To a bed of angels
Can't help this wandering eye
Well lucky you
The devil made ya look too far to the abyss
No bed of angels, mystified defines it best
The devil made ya look

Envy lyrics - Chevelle

How will this pan out?
Search and wish, so loud
Keep a candle burning
To each his own should learn

Before I turn in envy, I learn through sorrow
I turn in envy and go... to the wall

See how the colors run?
And feel your Sunday rest
Give me a name, bring it in, some change is for the best

I may not win the race
I may not reach the top
Or I may not live your way;
It doesn't mean I'm stuck here
We may not fit the mold
Kind of going off
Well, the medicine inside takes a stronger hold

As we turn in envy, I learn through sorrow
I turn in envy and go... to the wall

Before I burn with envy, I learn through sorrow
I burn with envy and go... to the wall

To the wall

Hats Off To The Bull lyrics - Chevelle

All our needs put together
Don't bleed on their own
You're paid for an eyeful
So behold the bull
Why can't I look up, out in the clearing
Tell me what's there below, end over end
While he's safe for the moment, guess what I'm learning
He's never safe from the crowd

So hats off to the bull
No giving up
Either way, it makes ya mad
Well some of us
Hats off to the bull, keep giving all
What ya say we make amends

To be monumental
Could mean the beyond
The simpler the treasure
Means the higher the cost
Well as for the ending, damn right I'm learning
You might ask for the door, end over end
Well I hate how the clouds hide
The gasps from above

So hats off to the bull
No giving up
Either way, it makes ya mad
Well some of us
Hats off to the bull, keep giving all
What ya say we make amends

Find your challenge, suffer miles
Colors gray, he brings them out
Don't mind the challenge, suffer miles
A little shallow, if I don't say

Hats off to the bull
His time ain't up
Bitter hell in the lion's den
For some of us
Hats off to the bull
The sun won't set
Till the pain and the final breath

Arise lyrics - Chevelle

So I clamber off
Into a realm
Of what's possible
Give us a look
So we may show
The animal
He wants you to know

You either fail or you rise
And reach to other worlds
Right through the needle's eye
Come take your first look inside

Like a fool caught red-handed
To play out as they wish
I'd take a life of raw emotion
Than a life of content till death
Well, at least you'd owe
No apologies for starters
Go and seek yourself

You either fail or you rise
And reach to other worlds
Right through the needle's eye
Come take your first look inside
Arise our fate is all we know
A fate we all would change
So aim that dirty look at

This one's almost always a given
Listen to its heartbeat
Listen
You
No sign of life
Watch you save up
To pay no mind
But it's better not to behave
Clever not to be changed by them
Better not to behave
Clever not to be changed

Arise
And reach to other worlds
Right through the needle's eye
Come take your first look inside
Arise
Our fate is all we know
(Rising up into another world)
A fate we all would change
(Rising up anew)
So aim that dirty look at

This one's always almost always a given
Listen to its heartbeat
This one, this one's almost always
Given, listen to its heartbeat
This one's done

Revenge lyrics - Chevelle

Crowds and torches fill the air
Surprise you're chosen, now finish it
Yell it louder really sink that point in

That sat for so long
For so long
Behind these civilized eyes
Behind these civilized eyes

Me, I'd let the panic ride and pin it on the wall
Identifying pride is the saddest of the chores
Those burning eyes indeed define a churning of the soul
Feels better to be lost, but haven't felt the choice

For so long
For so long
Behind these civilized eyes
Behind these civilized eyes

Revenge

That's cold
That's cold
May your sources lead
Connecting to a ten-fold
Identify your own
Fate has tortured us for too long

For so long, my demons (For so long)
It's countdown for me
With blindfolds you held us
Till I found the best revenge
For so long my demons (Revenge)
It's countdown for me
With blindfolds you held us
Till I found the best revenge

Prima Donna lyrics - Chevelle

Running out again, should've solved this right
Suddenly confused, I shifted sides
But listen little prima donna
Wrap your head 'round this simple thought

I won't be left out
You learn a thing or two
When we were young we'd shout
Let's separate the city
We won't be left out
You landed on the answer
I won't be left out

(ooooh, ooooh)
When the world owns so much of you
From your daring to fit in
At first they pass you 'round
You're only left holding the sin
But the difference quite simply
That untied these arms
Was the helpless artist
Cast the final stone

I won't be left out
You learn a thing or two
When we were young we'd shout
Let's separate the city
We won't be left out
You landed on the answer
I won't be left out

Soon,
Soon these souls will be born
Safe from any
Soon,
Soon these souls will be born

But I won't be left out
You learn a thing or two
When we were young we'd shout
Let's separate the city
We won't be left out
You landed on the answer
I won't be left out

Clones lyrics - Chevelle

You're just a clone of them
Have you no way to set a fire
You're just a clone of them
The Devil's in the ways we live

It's all chemicals by and large it's not you
Or your excitement
I'm caught trading blows and climbing walls for a view
Out of resentment

You're just a clone of them
Have you no way to set a fire
You're just a clone of them
The Devil's in the ways we live

But this sadness you saw in us
Comes honestly from foreign worlds
There's too many muddy feet
It's all too easy counting

So in the end, if I hold the fate, you hold a chance
Never admit, I'd simply ascend
To see what the soul looks like in the end
After all

We need a change I feel
From this saga of old past blandness
Maybe I'll tase myself
Wake up from this maze of lies built up

You're just a clone of them
Have you no way to set a fire
You're just a clone of them
The Devil's in the ways we live
After all, what do I know

Indifference lyrics - Chevelle

Your pretending fooled us all
Optimistic delusional
Hyperactive and so it shows
It's time to measure the immeasurable

Our indifference grows
From the common evil known

The future's laid out beautiful
Designs suggesting hints to God
I'd like to fathom the unfathomable
And swear to find that certain pressure point

Our indifference grows
Like the common evil known
Held down by words

Glimpse Of The Con lyrics - Chevelle

Hand over every
Last hope, to find

One mask for every
Halo, divine

In ways known to others
The same hopes run together

So many eyes now
Way too many to count down

I fight to reach the surface
And then I'm passing out

In ways known to others
The same hopes run together

Don't weep, not for long
Lost savants
Between this fight and a wall

Peel those layers away
Send help for the damned

It's just a glimpse of the con from beyond.

I woke to hear a night owl
Way upon next hoax
To pass the time he'd say
Is anybody there

Don't weep, not for us
Lost savants
Between this fight and a wall

Peel those layers away
Send help for the damned

It's just a glimpse of the con from beyond.

Don’t wait up
Its too close to know
Don’t wait up
Its too close to care
Don’t wait up
Its too close to tell
Don’t wait

In ways known to others
The same hopes run together

Don't weep, not for us
Lost savants
Between this fight and a wall

Peel those layers away
Send help for the damned

It's just a glimpse of the con

Don't weep, not for long
Lost savants
Between this fight and a wall

Peel these layers away
Send help for the damned

It's just a glimpse of the con from beyond
From beyond.

Sleep Apnea lyrics - Chevelle

There sat a new test
Much harder that you bought in
As for the unseen
Just take care of what you will
Light the silent alarm
We never think that
We're missing much
Till

I gasp and hold my breath
These needs had changed so deep
To face you all I say
I've been awake for...

I need a new test
Then I sat out to choose
Someone to
Light the soul like a kiln
Just imagine us chasing this with
Eyes scorned from sleep apnea
A slight of tongue as the seas
Are emptying

I gasp and hold my breath
These needs had changed so deep
To face you all I say
I've been awake for... Ever... Ever... Ever... Ever...

Try to read off a letter that's
Falling apart
The sun and the moon
I count sheep
Escape like an animal I'm ready for
My sleepless stroll

I've felt these shifting hours
Mistakenly used up

I gasp and hold my breath
These needs had changed so deep
To face you all I say
I've been awake for years

I gasp and hold my breath
These needs had changed so deep
To face you all I say
I've been awake for... Ever... Ever... Ever... Ever

Mexican Sun lyrics - Chevelle

Soon the stares catch
We begin to kill the calm as we
Feed on the facts let's give in
Let's give in to give in more

Still on the knees
Such a shame
The cat's up and run away
Scratched at me first
Then the boy
Gonna panic for a little more
Watch the tail boy
Watch the tail

Like to be feeling the sand
Bring color
Back to both my arms the sun
Let it do damage like they said it
Would if given chance
Had to be shouting your voices
Scheming devils
Never make it through
Hey way to go lad
Can't wait to go

Closing out all my tabs
Tighten down the pitiful
Leave you a pen
Write it down
Or you know what you can do
With that
Watch that tail boy
Watch the tail

Like to be feeling the sand
Bring color
Back to both my arms the sun
Let it do damage like they said it
Would if given chance
Had to be shouting your voices
Scheming devils
Never make it through
Hey way to go lad
Can't wait to go

Let's let the panic bloom
Could help us all end up in the
Clear
Then let the havoc choose
To shape us all, push us to invent
We can feed off shame all day
We could feed of shame all day

Soon the stares catch
We begin to kill the calm as we
Feed on the facts let's give in
Let's give in to give in more

Like to be feeling the sand
Bring color
Back to both my arms the sun
Let it do damage like they said it
Would if given chance
Had to be shouting your voices
Scheming devils
Never make it through
Hey way to go lad
Can't wait to go

Hey way to go lad
Can't wait to go. . .

Shameful Metaphors lyrics - Chevelle

Fear
It's all the same
Should I evolve
To tend to these sights
Said out loud then said again
If fate's so wrong
You'll start to feel lightheaded
By my admission, nothing grows
Just a longer list of unsorted laws

So why then
Has all my life made no sound
And are your eyes
Closing even now
My life made no sound
I fear your eyes closing

Revolting man
This sacred chain
Brought down to trial
No better man could fail the way
You needed all
Keep close the vein of empty
Thoughts

The finest river,
The ravens tend
All along insisting
We're worlds away

So why then
Has all my life made no sound
And are your eyes
Closing even now
My life made no sound
I fear your eyes closing

Behold the lost
Behold a Band-Aid

Behold the lost
Behold a Band-Aid

These shameful metaphors
Fought it through the teeth

Shameful metaphors
Biting at your heels

Shameful metaphors
Fought it cheek to cheek

So why then
Has all my life made no sound
(These shameful metaphors)
And are your eyes
Closing even now
My life made no sound
(These shameful metaphors)
I fear your eyes closing

Jars lyrics - Chevelle

Hold onto chance
Lest we bleed ourselves
Save for the pets
They’re the loneliest

Put into jars
We’ll save this earth
Put into jars
We’ll save the earth

We can’t both become the same pawn
That's made to fall
Oil that tastes like
Blood stole the summer scent
From me to you
You're stabbing me through you
You're stabbing you through him
And betting most of
This world
We’ll add enough of the world

Steal from yourselves
It never felt so good
And feed from their hand’s
Confuse by opposites

Put into jars
We’ll save this earth
Put into jars
Keep safe this earth

Feeling manic for a day
Depends on the trends
Depends on the surface
If the sun never sets

This world
We’ll add enough of the world
Is the main thing you’ll shout
Till the bitter end

Into Jars

Fell Into Your Shoes lyrics - Chevelle

Somehow we're sent by fools
No better when we're lost
I fell into your shoes
But only one

Hoping to be shown
A leaner curfew
Hopeful senseless sins
Gathering clues
Weaving into
Feeding off the youth

Somehow we're sent by fools
No better when we're lost
I fell into your shoes
But only one

The skies are overwhelmed
Another teacher
Heads for higher ground
Gathering clues
Weaving into
Feeding off the youth

Closing chapters tell of
A final virtue
Pay for healing as
Eyes go hollow
Weaving into
We bring this to you

Somehow we're sent by fools
No better when we're lost
I fell into your shoes
But only one
