When you slip into my woods
I’m gonna steal again
Your face is beautiful
I’ll tear it limb by limb
The angels hear our prayers
But they’re gone
I know what I know
I know what you show
I’ll take what you owe
And give it away
You think I’m evil
But you’re wrong
Oh, but that smile
It seduces men
And your love
Makes them think they can win
All men need something to believe in
Something they can put their heart into
An idea, a dream
Straight through your heart with arrow and bow

Lamentation

When I see you, I come undone
Those thoughts and feelings already gone
I feel the freeze between you and me
(Don’t you run away?)
The way you change from seen to scene
(You’ve got to face your fears and trade all of your faith in me)
Life comes at you so fast
But your decisions will always last
You turned the key for you and me
But now you’re hanging from the closet of dreams
You thought the world was at your feet
Because you proved you don’t need me
I hope the tears will help you sleep
(All alone)
When I see you I come undone
Those thoughts and feelings already gone
Don’t you run away?
You’ve got to face your fear and pray
Don’t lose your faith in me
I hope the tears will help you sleep

Lift me up above the fog
Where dark clouds can’t go through me
Just enough to change my course
Just enough to lose myself
Wake me up if I’m asleep
(But) if I’m awake, murder me
Just enough to change my course
Just enough to lose myself
(When blood no longer ties the bind)
When an idea becomes a way of life

“Millions now living have already died”
Words like that get stuck in your head
Peace on earth is piece of mind
Don’t you think you have the time?
Folks like us, we don’t get high
We just ask the stars to come down to us

The New Slave California
The New Slave has always been moving towards some unknown entity, logging their experiences with stripped-down lyrics, banks of gritty keyboards, a howling electric guitar, and acoustic textures. Although well-travelled, their spaceship has always yearned for more adventure. The consequence is undoubtedly human; but being human isn't all it's cracked up to be. ... more
