Door To Door Cannibals lyrics - Chevelle

Your name isn't proud demented man
Hold tight to the lie; you salt of earth
Take God and the case below
It falls on the day with much to learn

But you didn't get it
No you didn't get it
But you didn't get it
No you didn't

They're like cannibals from the grass stealing lives
And I swear I won't be found
See a door like advice, like a light
I'm getting out alive
I'm getting out alive

Could you tell I've been back too long
Fingers in the face
Kid you not,
Feel it go limp like a rag doll
Crushed
Never jealous
But the rage keeps a chance for the edge
This saint's about to roll

But you didn't get it
No you didn't get it
But you didn't get it
No you didn't

They're like cannibals from the grass stealing lives
And I swear I won't be found
See a door like advice, like a light
I'm getting out alive
I'm getting out alive

Getting out
Getting out
Getting out

They're like cannibals from the grass stealing lives
And I swear I've just been found
See a door like advice, like a light
Might not be getting out alive

They're like cannibals from the grass stealing lives
And I swear I've just been found
See a door like advice, like a light
Might not be getting out alive

Getting out

Enemies lyrics - Chevelle

Feelings rise
We can walk all over Devils prize
No one made you run
Word to the wise
One reason why I grant you piece of mind
It's not my hell
It's simply sad

Just grab some shit right off the net
Just grab it tight and now pretend
(It's simply sad)
Misquoted time and time again
Some fuckin' story and you're done

Don't wake the enemy
I'll beg you on my knees
Don't wake the enemy
I'm begging on my knees
Don't wake the enemy
I'll beg you on my knees
Don't wake the enemy
I'm begging on my
Knees

Hollow, those denials
Life could seem like story fables
But I'll take your honor right before ya
Slash and rip son
We can't evade one
Quit digging holes
Just grab a picture off the net
Just grab a picture off the net
Some dickhead said that it's a fact
Oh who cares it's all been blurred

Don't wake the enemy
I'll beg you on my knees, blurred
Don't wake the enemy
I'm begging on my knees, It's all been blurred
Don't wake the enemy
I'll beg you on my knees, it's all been blurred
Don't wake the enemy
I'm begging on my
On my
On my
On my knees

Quit digging holes, it doesn't have to fit
Quit digging holes, it never had to fit
Quit digging holes, it doesn't have to fit
Make it fit

Don't wake the enemy
I'll beg you on my knees
Don't wake the enemy
I'm begging on my, make it fit
Don't wake the enemy
I'll beg you on my knees, make it fit
Don't wake the enemy
I'm begging on my, make it fit
Don't wake the enemy
I'll beg you on my knees, make it fit
Don't wake the enemy
I'm begging on my, make it fit

Don't wake the enemy
I'll beg you on my knees, make it fit
Don't wake the enemy
I'm begging on my knees
Don't wake

Joyride (Omen) lyrics - Chevelle

I've heard about the joyrides and I want in
It's fair to say it's in the past, if you're kidding
And you're kidding, and you're kidding

Like a God awful Omen, just hit,
stabs like some voodoo hex
And like a seventh sign one, double crossed,
This is it, this is it

Late night, this heart needs pumping
Joy, ride and famous lies

Angel eyes, gotta feed, taking aim, none of these
Pull right out,
Didn't lie, didn't like, none of these
New revenge, odd events, catching Hell, evidence
Chase you down

Late night, this heart needs something
Joy, ride and famous lies

Almost always open up
Almost always laughing over
Almost never open up
Chase them ghosts

Pigheaded
Your
Joyride

Late night, this heart needs pumping
Ride, joy, ride and famous lies
Ride, joy, ride and famous lies

Rivers lyrics - Chevelle

I feel as though you want to live forever
Borrow, beg and steal
It takes much more than toes to swim across
This river that we know
I don't believe the scorpion would die
Clever clever crows
And till the light goes out I'll live in awe

So look inside
New found demise
So natural
I'm slipping side, sideways
Blind
Fully out of line
So natural
I'm slipping side, sideways

Still friends with vices don't care for advice
Send them off
To all sinners and saints
Lift your bottomless glasses and come
It's all around
Well, it's all wrong

So look inside
New found demise
So natural
I'm slipping side, sideways
Blind (blind)
Fully out of line (line)
So natural
I'm slipping side, sideways

Sideways [x4]

Well it seems as though you want to live forever
Well it takes much more than toes to swim across

And it's slipping
Sideways [x3]
And it's slipping
Sideways [x3]

So look inside (inside)
New found demise (found demise)
So natural (so natural)
I'm slipping side, sideways
Blind (blind)
Fully out of line (line)
So natural (so natural)
I'm slipping side, sideways

Sideways [x6]

Last Days lyrics - Chevelle

Well it's my last night
Darwinian nation rules
She held the vastness close
And I untied this knot

Glad I caught that witch
Glad I caught that witch
Caught it by the tail
Glad I caught that witch

When it's your last choice drowned
By any new means these runes
She sews the rats eyes closed
Some call it fantasy

Glad I caught that witch
Glad I caught that witch
Caught it by the tail
Glad I caught that witch

A witch
Gotta get you a witch
Witch
Gotta get
Gotta get

It's my last night [x4]

Glad I caught that witch
Glad I caught that witch
Caught it by the tail
Glad I caught that witch

No better [x3]
No better than this
No better [x3]
That I caught
No better [x3]
No better than this
No better [x2]

Young Wicked lyrics - Chevelle

Oh my God how you've grown

Yes sir

They sit upon their hands
Betting there's an easy answer
Right of passages
Someone give rise to hope

Yes sir
Young wicked
Yes sir

Oh my God how you've grown

Death hides holy hidden worlds
And hello wise one, your time ain't true
Eating up those, satires, twilights and ozone
The animals have gone down below

Yes sir
Young wicked
Yes sir

(Yes sir)
(Yes sir)
Young wicked [x3]

(Yes sir) Yes sir
(Yes sir) Yes sir
Young wicked [x3]

Yes sir
Yes sir
Young wicked
Yes sir
Young wicked

Warhol's Showbiz lyrics - Chevelle

I am the lie that stood you up
All of the taste without the fuss
Let's say
Are we alive from dawn to dusk
Rip out a page from Andy's book
And say
I had a line I had to cross
Outside the box we had to look
And say
The benefits won't keep you in

When you're in
You're never, never really in

Well that's showbiz
Take it on the chin
Take it on the chin

Another maze that's how this goes
Enjoy the chase cuz that's all we may know

Till you're in
If you're in
You're never, never really in

Cuz that's showbiz
Take it on the chin

I'm not your mother

Cuz that's showbiz
Take it on the chin
[x2]

Cuz that's showbiz
That's showbiz [x4]

Punchline lyrics - Chevelle

All I mentioned is coming
A new dimension of earth has begun
See the ends of earth there crumbling
All the work we've done here has been lost

But I don't hang on to much
And I feel this joke has gone long enough
We doubt you feel the same
But I'm not your punchline paid to stay

All the others
They've gone...

Who are
Who are you
[x4]

Claws tighten down against
Ease into passionate suspense
For a second not a single
Moment of my past belonged

But I don't hang on to much
And I feel this joke has gone long enough
We doubt you feel the same
But I'm not your punchline paid to stay

I don't hang on to much
And I feel this joke has gone long enough
We doubt you feel the same
But I'm not your punchline paid to stay

Got Burned lyrics - Chevelle

Give us a sign
That part of you lives
That nobody knows
Now watch your back in defense dirty fallen egos
It's Halloween never seen Jedi walls that crawl
Hold up your hand to the blade say you'll never denounce

Don't get me started on this
You picked the best of the worst
Sadly you better expect to get burned
We got a minute to spend
And better stand it on end
I'll never settle I planned to get burned

My sober friends

And yet still
They're calling us out
And yet still
We'll never admit

Don't get me started me on this
You picked the best of the worst
Sadly you better expect to get burned
We got a minute to spend
And better stand it on end
I'll never settle I planned to get burned

It took this
Stabbed in the back
It took this
My sober friends
My sober friends

It took this
Stabbed in the back

Don't get me started on this
You picked the best of the worst
Sadly you better expect to get burned
We got a minute to spend
And better stand it on end
I'll never settle I planned to get burned

(It took this)
Don't get me started on this
You picked the best of the worst
Sadly you better expect to get burned
(Stabbed in the back)
We got a minute to spend
And better stand it on end
I'll never settle I planned to get burned

It took this
It took this
Stabbed in the back
My sober friends

Shot From A Cannon lyrics - Chevelle

Ten minutes in he's sweating
Should I have asked more than fame
Ignore that beast he's smiling
It's not till next New Years Eve
Wish I could get that list
Yes I would burn that list
Down he goes

Set him down to a real life, failure
Held fast like the field mice, been there
Give a nod as if he knows, come round
Dead last with a drumroll, when the dam blows
The dam blows
The dam blows
The dam blows

Quit blaming unending
Eliminate the results
Just blame me already
Then try in vain to be close
But these nerves are spent
Yes these nerves are spent

Set him down to a real life, failure
Held fast like the field mice, been there
Give a nod as if he knows, come round
Dead last with a drumroll, when the dam blows
The dam blows
The dam blows
The dam blows

Hand it down
Hand it down
It's your failure
It's your failure

Set him down to a real life, failure
Held fast like the field mice, been there
Give a nod as if he knows, come round
Dead last with a drumroll, when the dam blows
When the dam blows
The dam blows
The dam blows
The dam blows

A Miracle lyrics - Chevelle

Invasion, hold me I could melt
Just a warning, I've been through hell
Persuasions and holy hell
If only time would turn its back again

Except for this, I would collapse
Hold onto my other arm
We'll be living once again
You'll be standing at the end

Feel the moment
And imagine this fear is sent
To gather us off the ledge
In the moment
I had to ask you ever see too much
Yet need these events to be whole

Except for this, I would collapse
Hold onto my other arm
We'll be living once again
You'll be standing at the end

Well, this has cost us such a miracle
Well, mothers never lie
And fathers live to tell
Now drink to us

(Live in the moment)
And capture us
(Live in the moment)
Like northern lights
(Live in the moment)
They capture us
(Live in the moment)
This year, they're marching
I counted ten
Still won't admit
So little trust
Take care this year

Well, this has cost us such a miracle
Cuz mother had to lie
And father said farewell
So drink to us

Well, this has been, yes, such a miracle
Cuz mothers have to lie
And fathers say farewell
So drink to us
Now, drink to us

Build lyrics - Chevelle

I'd like to but I can't
Make another same stance
Work hard, no shame
No weapons, don't blame
And I feel your face
Like a brother, no worries
Hurried time swallows whole
I got a wrecked voice, gotta show

We think, we heal
What we find we steal
I need direction, am I impatient
Course I'm, do we think

Do we think
I'm ashamed
I'm ashamed
I'm ashamed

Can't stop the talk
Can't look after this
Braid of life intertwines
I catch the wave and then an end
Waiting for my eye
A crazy man laughing
Many think it don't hurt
Many men don't think

We see, we heal
What we find we steal
I need direction, am I impatient
Course I'm, do we think

Commuter lyrics - Chevelle

I'm tired of this commuter trap
Let go of my tedium
I wanna sprinkle too, past you
Do you see the side, last year

I wanna let loose and maybe flick you off
But I know that's not the right response
Look at the cause this stuff, withered lines
Like garbage and drunkard flies

Wood is burning, he turned his lights in
The water's gone now, the tube is raging
One is cheating, this morning's out of line
She's driving me, across the line

Let me by, let me by
Let me by, this merge in time
Yeah

I'm tired of this commuter trap
Let go of my tedium
I wanna sprinkle too, past you
Do you see the side, last year

Let me by, let me by
Let me by, this merge in time
Yeah

Credit To You lyrics - Chevelle

My life in gray now
Have him get away now
Lean into the left, left, left
I know I said never
I pulled the wrong lever
I'm no God, I need to discover you

You're a cur around me
You, you're not

So I'll straighten me out now
Pick me apart and
Pull it straight
Drag it away
I know I said never
I pulled the wrong lever
I'm no God, I need to discover you

You, you're not
And show me

You also resolved me
Accent your character in me
You gave your life to let me pray

Pull me out to
Straighten out your truth
Do what you must to kill all

Think, think, think it through
I'll try to be yours too
Leave you to the nails and you die
Arose, forgave me

You

And I'll give credit to you
And I'll give credit to you
I'll give credit to you
Submit myself unto you
And I'll give credit to you
Submit myself unto you
I'll give credit to you
Submit myself unto you

And I'll give credit to you
Submit myself unto you
I'll give credit to you
Submit myself
You

Humidity lyrics - Chevelle

Now I can work free
Take me, please
The ocean inside
Boiled down to me

Amazing we work it all
We fed the grass; getting taller
Amazing the bullet came
The shot is fine
The skin will kill

Feel like humidity, false lives
Step back to conquer each top speed
Unfortunately, keeping me with it
Pray, teach me

Amazing, look at the sky
A fast one screams, "What am I?"
Amazing the bullet came
The shot was fine
The skin will kill

White flame, no
Why call?
Lay here

Now I can work free
Take me, please
The ocean inside
Boiled down to me

Amazing, look at the sky
A fast one screams, "What am I?"
Amazing the bullet came
The shot was fine
The skin will kill

White flame, no
Why call?
Lying here

I fell down
You look around
Just shake them out
Dear Mother

Flames here
Why call?
Lay here

Moda lyrics - Chevelle

I've seen you once
Your skin's opinion - pallid
Did you suffer much?
Your hand is bending backwards

I've come undone
From her feet
Need to spread them out
To love's pit

Consider this
I'm blanking out for a while
Your clean house
But the glass is overflowing
Into the pit, don't mess my mind
Had to forget, then move on

Move on

I've fallen far
Your penalty's forthcoming
Seven tries
But the hand is bending backwards
Is bending backwards
Is bending backwards
The hand is bending

So tell this
Should've made the call
Once more I fall
Lost in the first
Fall down
Into the pit, don't mess my mind
Had to forget, then move on

Who was there?
Who was there?

Tetelestai lyrics - Chevelle

You've seen my God, I guess
He's dead, was that what you think?
Was that inside your head?
Just woke up to you, couldn't make you free

If what you've seen can't make you free
If what you've seen has it all

Why do we let this world scar us and bring us down?
Ask him a question and tell me what you've found
I'll ask you, you'll ask me
Can we be free?

If what you've seen can't make you free
If what you've seen has it all

It is finished, tell us again
It is finished, tell us again

Who made you?
Who made you?
Who made you?
Has it all

Ouija Board lyrics - Chevelle

Are you up for anything
We're growing a fire
Self explore your egoism
Pulling out that Ouija board, it's on

Never say die less you mean it
You're the salt of the earth left uneasy
Right or wrong if the world explodes
Well you and I are one

Cuz we're growing a fire
Self explore your egoism
Pulling out your Ouija board oh no

How could you show 'em your weakness
Son of a bitch had no reason
Come along here's a seed of truth
Cuz you and I are one

Cuz we're growing
A fire [x3]

An Island lyrics - Chevelle

They said this fun is near the end.
You've worn out welcome way too fast
You'd better bite your tongue.

I need an island
And I need it fast.
Some little island
Is all I ask.

To put you on
To put you on

Stay there don't move
I think its got fangs.
Watch if they turn
Become the villains.

Are you allowed to know?
Are we allowed to know?
Are you allowed to know? [x2]

Just an island
Is all I ask.
Some little island
A spark to cast.

To put you on
To put you on

Force you to go

Some little island
One little island [x2]

To put you on
To put you on
To put you on
To put you on

Take Out The Gunman lyrics - Chevelle

Awoke when the light
Hit me right in the temple
Felt something cold
Touch my toes as it passed

Might not be the face you’d expect
But he’s clearly insane
Got me pegged in the back

Just need a bit of luck, get 'em up
Point the gun at the eyes
Or at the knees, had to shoot, had to fight
Gonna take out the gunman

Bit of luck, get 'em up
Made to run for our lives
Take out the knees, had to choose, had to fight
Gonna take out the gunman

Eyes huge, so little left if something
Cracks and clues, he’s crazy as a straw
Why denied, does no one care or nothing
How, you ask, I ever last so long

Cause I, I went blind, a blinding riot
He’s regretting every word
Those empty lies
One more tonight, a blinding riot
As I summon every nerve

Just need a bit of luck, get 'em up
Point the gun at the eyes
Or at the knees, had to shoot, had to fight
Gonna take out the gunman

Bit of luck, get 'em up
Made to run for our lives
Take out the knees, had to choose, had to fight
Gonna take out the gunman
Gonna take out the gunman
Gonna take out the gunman

I’m gonna take out
I’m gonna take out
I’m gonna take out
I’m gonna take out

Just need a bit of luck, get 'em up
Point the gun at the eyes
Or at the knees, had to shoot, had to fight
Gonna take out the gunman

Bit of luck, get 'em up
Made to run for our lives
I’m so amazed at the way we televise
Gonna take out the gunman
Gonna take out the gunman
I’m gonna take out the gunman
I’m gonna take out the gunman

Jawbreaker lyrics - Chevelle

Jawbreaker [x3]
You're like a
Jawbreaker [x3]

Hey just to be polite yunno
Well I'll ask about yourself if I choose
But we both know
There's a past, bad blood an such
It makes me wanna spit

I caught your evil eye
One ugly inner child

Life felt slow in the past
And yet little by little bits
Creep on up, history,
Took the day at least part of it

Jawbreaker [x3]
You're like a
Jawbreaker [x3]

I caught your evil eye
One ugly inner child
I felt your evil eye
Like a needle in the side

Are you part of them
Or part of me
You bother them
You bother me

Are you part of

Hunter Eats Hunter lyrics - Chevelle

I grabbed a flashlight
Just like I always do
A damp sorta night
And now I'm telling you
Well I saw a pair of eyes
And I'm sure they saw me too
Well don't never never run
Hell yes I'm going to

How long, should I feel like bait now?
Wide open, careful where the mind goes
Moonlight, a superstitious glow
If it's my time, well I'm going out alone

You ever try to hold your breath?
Well here's a tip don't follow through
You feared that nightmares never end
And now it seems it's coming true
No one should see what I could see
It's up to you with weakened knees
That little creep just grabbed my arm
It's gonna be the longest night

How long, should I feel like bait now?
Wide open, careful where the mind goes
Moonlight, a superstitious glow
If it's my time, well I'm going out alone

Night, you're a friend of mine, another family
Better not divide, any, armed, with its beastly doom
I'll beat this jackal down, this interference ends
I'll send it back beyond

When hunter meets hunter, this hunter eats hunter [x2]

How long, should I feel like bait now?
Wide open, careful where the mind goes
Moonlight, a superstitious glow
If it's my time, well I'm going out alone

If it's my time
Well I'm going out alone [x3]

One Ocean lyrics - Chevelle

It's not a new alarm
That you heard
But it's like I'm new again
New in its salt

Realizing
No illusions as good
So I made my way to the surf again
A bit of heaven

Hey
It's our one ocean
It's balanced on the edge
And it's calling you

We met at the tides end
A baptism so divine
Like arms all around us
My answer seems imminent

Well if I don't surface soon I may never
And say farewell to this odyssey
A bit of heaven

Hey
It's our one ocean
It's balanced on the edge
And it's calling you
Hey it's our one ocean
It's sitting on the edge
And it's calling you

Hey hey
It's our one ocean
It's balanced on the edge
And it's calling you
Hey it's our one ocean
It's sitting on the edge

Choking Game lyrics - Chevelle

Like a rush
Feel the rush

Laws young son
You'll learn this well
Like salt in wounds
Stings like hell

Pushing out
Pushing out
Pushed around
Pushing out

Now the rush

Feel the rush
Now the rush

We could not learn at all
Feeding till dawn
You denied feeling cross
Lucky this one

Pushing out
Pushing out
Pushed around
Pushing out

Now the rush
Rush
Rush
Feel the rush
Rush
Feel the rush

Violent
Circling
Immortal
My body

We've come
So far
Finally
Energy

And the rush
Feel the rush
Bring the rush
Feel the rush
Now the...

The Damned lyrics - Chevelle

I think you and I should leave right out that door
The damned can have what we built
We'll go sneaking out at night to see what we need

How wrong were they
Took a moment to believe
How tricked was I
I never want to leave

Coursing through these veins I'm locked on you
I've choose to join this zombie zoo
And never could I've known I'd crave a bite quite so much

Hey
How wrong were they
Took a moment to believe
How tricked was I
I never want to leave

Hey...

How wrong were they
Took a moment to believe
How tricked was I
I never want to leave

Knew what we wanted
And had to go [x2]

Under The Knife lyrics - Chevelle

Are you drunk or has your ego grown and
Swallowed you whole
No wonder I would rather be under the knife
Commandeer most accused
Just want to be tossed aside to
Know when to fight

Who has the life to spend on this
When you're the last to know
I started 1976
And that wasn't fast enough

I planned a journey 'round your psycho fury
Go ahead call me a nervous
Life just owes ya something

Give me the knife

Who has the life to spend on this
When you're the last to know
I started 1976
And that wasn't fast enough

It's in the back of the mind
In the back of the mind
It's in the back of the mind
It's in the back of the mind

Well who has the knife to settle this
When you're the last to know
I started 1976
And that wasn't fast enough
Well
Who has the life to spend on this
When you're the last to know
I started 1976
And that wasn't fast enough

It's in the back of the mind
In the back of the mind
It's in the back of the mind
It's in the back of the mind

Twinge lyrics - Chevelle

Was really just a twinge
It wasn't much
I never meant
To get lost

Forever we'll just lay there
Forever we'll just lay here

Count down, count down, count down the hours [x4]

Forever we'll just lay there
Forever we'll just lay here

Just a twinge
Waiting for a twinge
Just a twinge

Face To The Floor lyrics - Chevelle

(I was just thinking...)

To pick up the tip doesn't mean a lot
Fiddle inside your drawers
If we own the night, then spread it out
Or pack up without a clue

Well, caused by their own
WIN by default
Time to vamanos

Like your face getting forced to the floor

Then I got a taste of the benefits
Five foot and change
There's no better way to hash it out
So let's set up your time to fail

Well, cause now the cracks
Should we intervene?
I hold this albatross

Like your face getting forced to the floor
When either way, you're way too close to it all

Pay up, never wait 'em out
Clever, Madoff, take it all
Take it all

Your
Mouth
Blessed

Take it all the way... right back down

Clueless
Mess

Pay up, never take it all
Take it all

Like your face getting forced to the floor
In a league of your own,
And either way you're way too close to it all
You cannot veto the world
Like your face (like your face) getting forced (getting forced) to the floor
In a league of your own,
And either way (either way), you're way too close to it all

Too close to it all

Same Old Trip lyrics - Chevelle

[Verse 1:]
Censor, censor, realize
Censor, censor, no friend of mine
Time won't keep us anymore
It's the usefulness of letting go
Your perfect plan has come and gone
Like the nuclear centuries' benefits

[Chorus:]
They say
You bought the same old trip
So innocent you're out of reach
You bought the same old trip

[Verse 2:]
Lawful, vengeful, awful, friendship, misfits
Bits of feelings, theiving, fits inside revealing
Time to censor, censor, realize
Censor, Censor, no friend of mine

[Chorus:]
You bought the same old trip
So innocent you're out of reach
You bought the same old trip
Sigh of relief inside of a dream
You bought the same old

[Bridge:]
Censor, censor, realize
Censor, censor, paid to
Censor, censor, realize
Censor, censor, no friend of mine

[Chorus:]
You bought the same old trip
So innocent you're out of reach
You bought the same old trip
Sigh of relief inside of a dream
You bought the same old trip

Ruse lyrics - Chevelle

Sell me some love
Led by a ruse
Set up like a lens
That looks into rooms
Sees colors
Cast in a world
This roundabout path
Makes two rights and two wrongs
Till it hurts find me

Let's discover your emotions
We'll visualize that fevered side we lost

It's way too hard to pin us
Hard to pin us down
If you haven't felt that fire in awhile
And its now-or-never lies
Just live a little more
Try climbing over any
Unfortunate you say
Never in this setting
Young freedom has its price and
We all bend these rules
So nervously

Let's discover your emotions
We'll visualize that fevered side we lost
Are we blinding those emotions
Will you decide defeat or find it all

Set it free

The Meddler lyrics - Chevelle

You had that nighttime confidence
Yet again
Like when you tear us all to bits
Yet again
If you really want advice here
You're too much like a wall
If you're gonna light those fires
We're all up in arms again

Well I don't belong here
Don't fit your style
Felt your left foot
Now meet my right

See now over this, you meddler
Feed off all the rest, you meddler
Talking so close, you bring to mind
No fun to be behaving
But you really lit a fire
All up in arms again
Why don't you feed off all the rest

Well, I don't belong here
Don't fit your style
Felt your left foot
Now meet my right
It's now or never
More difficult
Those midnight answers
And stray arrows

Never, never
Lean on you
Clever, clever
One on two
You're mine
Finite
Imagine this
It's sad
To say
It's simple
When still we want to watch

Well, I don't belong here
Don't fit your style
Felt your left foot
Now meet my right
It's now or never
More difficult
Those midnight answers
And stray arrows
I don't belong

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

Letter From A Thief lyrics- Chevelle

They know what everybody knows
Better sit a letter from a thief says
Why lead when everybody sleeps
So few ways to
Cover up your wounds
Lost in a finger forced to lie
This sends us medicating
Through it all

If you ever enter my mind
Stay there
You'll live
Defend it off and fool them all
Stay there

Faceless, so little there to judge
Left wing let's
Separate the cold out
Opposites, we never need to tell
One sting I've found I'm having to,
Having to

If you ever enter my mind
Stay there
You'll live
Defend it off and fool them all
Stay there
You'll live
Defend id off and fool them all

Solitude, waste of a man
This fades as soon as the sun sets

I now own this fatal role that lives
Imagine here's a better feel
Told to dissolve, or choose to fade
Or stay here you'll live

If you ever enter my mind
Stay there
You'll live
Defend it off and fool them all
Stay there
You'll live

If you ever enter my mind
Stay there
You'll live
Defend it off and fool them all
Stay there

Highland's Apparition lyrics - Chevelle

See it, startled
Afternoon I had to ask
Or dare I, ever know
Tell us, we are demented
Watch as attention span
Hold, so fast
Then go up in smoke

I don't think you're nervous enough
It happened to show its own face
Search for the soulless ends
Now point him towards rest

Culprits, shudder
Apparitions left in time
If we're honest, sight unknown
Crowing, frozen, bedroom
Awoke up certain
Lays a tomb, her tree holds it
Unbeknownst, still sending chills

I don't think you're nervous enough
It happened to show its own face
Search for the soulless ends
Now point him towards rest

You won't find me curling up
A place that should make sense
Well, excuse me for this better judgment
Night is so worth waiting for
A blinding scare so cauterizing
Arms out pointing, sit and stare
At this proof, this living proof
This proof, this living proof

Sun's up, braver
Hands and legs untouched
Before we forget, save this
Unaging proof

I don't think you're nervous enough
It happened to show its own face
Search for the soulless ends
Now point him towards

I don't think you're nervous enough
It happened to show its own face
Search for the soulless ends
Now point him towards rest

Roswell's Spell lyrics - Chevelle

Life, It's always overblown
Till we wake up create some other needs
Yeah well, cries, heard from man that knows
Let to witness, the cat upon a ledge
Heats source rained down
Dyad Scout craft
Hands reveal a meeting, but did they come?

So I look at the eyes, straight to the soul doorway
I look at the eyes, to know all you know

Find an other labeled hoaxes
Just as Roswell found another link
Reform witness, night abductions
You always felt a meaning, but did they come?

Well, I look at the eyes, straight to the soul doorway
I look at the eyes, to know all you know
And there's a why
I'm burning out inside
With a need to know
One self,
Well I'm burning out inside
With a need to know
Does anybody really see anything?
Does anybody really see anyone?

LIGHTS TWO MILES WIDE FELT IT LIFT FELT IT PULL!
That's why...
I'm burning out inside,
With a need to know....
With self,
While I'm burning out inside, with a need to know

Does anybody really see anyone,
Does anybody really see anyone?
Does anybody really see anything,
Does anybody really see anyone?

A New Momentum lyrics - Chevelle

Should we ignore
This was too intense
Too awful
Please stand still
To seize them all
His monetary gain equals
His monetary mind

Even if the saints gave their all
Like lions in the face of a
Growing crowd
Too little and too late on the day
When all will fall

So drawing into one another keeps
Momentum driving forward like a
Torching sun

Could sleep forever
In spite of this look
A look so scared
Sitting here with nothing new
to add
And crying out you never seemed
forced
It's just the kind of fuel that I need
To feel reborn

Feeding off the chase right before
Is like biting into ankles
Pulling round
To finish one more phase
Get the key
When all will fall

So drawing into one another keeps
Momentum driving forward like a
Torching sun

Learn to choose to breathe
Then stitch your arm to me

So drawing into one another keeps
Momentum driving forward like a
Torching sun

This Circus lyrics - Chevelle

What did I have to lose
Being negative
I bled through the snow
Then never sat down
It's clear for today
You're sleazy at night
And soon as we heal
We will run
Or start swinging

For below there begging for it
I'm on my way, never settle
Always learning
People they beg us for it
I'm on my way
Better settle
Almost there

This might just feed the
Mother of all our needs
Turning over here

Luck must fight over me
And never give in to
Weird out the soul
Replace it with salt
I live within sight of
This medicine man how perfectly
Sure of this circus
I start swinging
We start swinging

'Cause this might just feed
The mother of all needs
Turning over, heard it oh so clear
The mother of all our needs
Turning over, heard it oh so

Just run them off
Or grab and hold

Below there begging for it
I'm on my way, never settle
Always learning
People they beg us for it
I'm on my way
Better settle
Almost there

This might just feed
The mother of all needs
Turning over, heard it oh so clear
The mother of all our needs
Turning over, heard it oh so clear

Leto's Headache lyrics - Chevelle

This healthy, unhealthy voice
Sits Lennon for you
Your healthy, unhealthy voices
It's several for me

Now who wants to live the soul's desire
Way down we're born to realize
One sobering thought was forced upon
We shall know we'll know

These slivers that warn our feet
Reminders joining us
To the rest, to the worst
The worst is yet to come
To the rest, all the best
The best is yet to come

Now who wants to live the soul's desire
Way down we're born to realize
One sobering thought was forced upon
We shall know we'll know

A silent stare brings the creeping clone
Won't feel you walking in but feel you walking out
Your silent stare brings us closer still
And all her wants out
Keep biting in

Now who wants to live the soul's desire
Way down we're born to realize
One sobering thought was forced upon
We shall know we'll know

"Vena Sera" (2007)




Antisaint lyrics - Chevelle

Visit again white elephant.
Who sent you to loom?
Shall we sever everything?
Ponder this while we ponder why

He's starting to follow crows,
and climbing the ladder somewhere out to
really begin to scare,
and plotting to comb the grounds with a fine tooth.

You poor little antisaint.
You poor little antisaint.

Nothing to say for the last time.
Just want to sink his will.
Like a predator's prey in the cold,
slowly starts to show.

Assurance is what they need.
Hold the lion until it's fed.
It's still only morning,
But the fly's surfaced.

You poor little antisaint.
You poor little antisaint.
You poor little antisaint.
You poor little antisaint.

The stakes are too low.
We may not need any.
Could we never feel?
And if you could tell,
That the cleverest acting.
Was the lying by you,
Lying by you,
Lying by you

You poor little antisaint.
You poor little antisaint.
You poor little antisaint.
You poor little antisaint.

Brainiac lyrics - Chevelle

Time hold us for a minute,
It dries the wrists like penicillin
Each of these men holds a pentagram
So ease up on the slurs
They're pushing off the charts

We know him as one cell
Should've combined to save brains.
How 'bout I teach him to crawl.
Lift up the head so proud.
Imagine this one cell.

He's gotten through the piss
So he can blame few
Slept off the chainsaw buzz
This passing eye-sore
These are the longest days
Sits like a razor
How many found?

We know we miss one cell
Should've combined to save brains.
How 'bout I teach him to crawl.
Lift up the head so proud.
Imagine this one cell.

This defines him
So useless these rules
Tempting timing
I should use the same tools

We know we miss one cell
Should've combined to save brains.
How 'bout I teach him to crawl.
Lift up the head so proud.
Imagine this one cell.

Should've combined to save brains.
How 'bout I teach him to crawl.
Lift up the head so proud.
Imagine this one cell.

Imagine this
Imagine this
Imagine this
One.

Saferwaters lyrics - Chevelle

This city's saving grace
But whoever knows, nobody knows
Why he'd roll the eyes back
Why he'd roll those eyes, those heartless eyes

Well I won't pretend to lie
Once more protect my blinded sight
You'd say
For I came from a fish you mock the place where I exist and live.

That world is calling
So I'm crawling back to sea
Against the surge of waves that
Held us in that ancient grip beneath
Retreat to safer waters

Still learning what chaos kills
But whoever cares, nobody cares like you do
Why we'd abandon time, just shut the door
Why we'd go to the wall, claim less is more

Well I won't pretend to lie
Once more protect my blinded sight
You'd say
For I came from a fish you mock the place where I exist and live.

That world is calling
So I'm crawling back to sea
Against the surge of waves that
Held us in that ancient grip beneath
Retreat to safer waters [2x]

This city's saving grace
But whoever knows, nobody knows

Well Enough Alone lyrics - Chevelle


Sick

Walk down the realm
hint to no one that this
generic bond exists
evil shows another side

And like before, makes no sense
never coming
always leaving right before
hooked on substance
dig in deeper
can't reveal

Why we leave
well enough alone
never thought about the shame

So fed up
what's with the scenes?
Observe and leave instead
this pity wagon
penetrates my skin
so sensitive, makes me sick

And like before, makes no sense
never coming
always leaving right before
hooked on substance
dig in deeper
can't reveal

Why we leave
well enough alone
never thought about the shame

The old and the aged
pulled and never knew what hit
Rolled
the old and the aged
pulled and never knew what hit

And like before, makes no sense
never coming
always leaving right before
hooked on substance
dig in deeper
can't reveal

Why we leave
well enough alone
never thought about the shame
why we leave
well enough alone
never thought about the shame

Straight Jacket Fashion lyrics - Chevelle

Don't stand around
So far, it's empty
Just pull close these witnesses
That follow, so trusting
There they go

By the way
We last because we're colorful
And as for fools, just play the opposite

Cause quietly, you're overrated anyhow
And currently, you've spread yourself so thin

Climb up your pedestal
To hang yourself from it
"A cold day in hell's" the phrase
I used when I never ever meant to change
Scab

By the way
We last because we're colorful
And as for fools, just play the opposite

Cause quietly, you're overrated anyhow
And currently, you've spread yourself so thin
Spread yourself so thin

His straight jacket fashion
Can't believe he could
But I'd crawl a mile
To say that he should
This straight jacket fashion
I can't believe he could
Starve ourselves just to say
You know that you should

By the way
We last because we're colorful
And as for fools, just play the opposite

Quietly, you're overrated anyhow
Currently, you've spread yourself so thin

Quietly, you're overrated anyhow
And currently, you've spread yourself so thin
Spread yourself so thin
Spread yourself so thin
Spread yourself so thin

The Fad lyrics - Chevelle

Soon the men
Taste their own normalcy
Ends that day
Consumed by all
Irrational thoughts depend
Then shape their tastes

Let's call it change
Let's call it change

Once the fad
Permeates
It's hip to care
It's hip to hate it

Once the fad
Permeates
It's hip to care
It's hip to hate it

Laugh at the violence
Laugh at the violence

True to form
He's blind as his taste for cheat
Panther piss
He loves to live beyond the card
So count us in to that Gucci clan
The fat face

Let's call it "the chase"
I'll call it a phase

Once the fad
Permeates
It's hip to care
It's hip to hate it

Once the fad
Permeates
It's hip to care
It's hip to hate it

Laugh at the violence
Laugh at the violence
Laugh at the violence

So sell your voodoo
And recognize this
Your last and only score
Got you hung up on your strut

Once the fad
Permeates
It's hip to care
It's hip to hate it

Once the fad
Permeates
It's hip to care
It's hip to hate it

Once the fad
Once the fad
Once the fad
Once the fad
(The same, you want it, I bought it) [x4]

Laugh at the violence
Laugh at the violence
