Serj Tankian Album

I can feel you far away your hesitation matching mine
Sadness left me far away yea
Your contemplation turn to wine
An old man stairs at me
Mutual bizarre memory

Laugh at thy neighbor
Pretend you are sane just the same
You survived in pain

Love thy neighbor
Pretend you are sane just the same
You survived in pain

Time is the father of existence
My brother of resistance
Looking down by man in their crazy mind

Joy is the mother of our existence
Where is the sister of persistence
Staring down the elusive sky

A motion of the devotion
Euphoric scriptures of the ocean

Laugh at they neighbour
Pretend you are sane just the same
You survived in vain

Time is the father of existence
My brother of resistance
Who can count by man in their crazy mind
Euphoria is the father of no distance
Withering sister of persistence
Stripping down there the elusive sky

I felt so alone
Till you came in my life
And stopped the pain
I felt so alone then you came into my life
And poured the rain
I feel so alone dressed in the dark silk clothing of your own distain
I feel so disowned since your children took our arms in your own name

God sings different in every language
God sings different in every language

Bombs envision compulsive solution
Gods speak different in every language
Bombs envision compulsive solution
God speaks different in every language

Never let you go
Never let you go
Never let you go
Never let you go

Borders are the gallows
Of our collective national egos
Subjective, lines in sand
In the water, separating everything

Fear is the cause of separation
Backed with illicit conversations
Procured by constant condemnations
National blood-painted persuasions

Here's my song for the free
No, it's not about praise and publicity
Corprotocracy, what a hypocrisy
Aristocrasy versus democracy

Fear is the cause of separation
Backed with illicit conversations
Procured by constant condemnations
National blood-painted persuasions

The king is dead and now
We're dancing in the streets
As the waters rise
We're merely covering our feet

I never let you go
I never let you go
I never let you go
I never let you go

I never let you go
I never let you go
I never let you go
I never let you go

Fear is the cause of separation
Backed with illicit conversations
Procured by constant condemnations
National blood-painted persuasions

Fear is the cause of separation
Backed with illicit conversations
Procured by constant condemnations
National blood-painted persuasions

The king is dead and now we're dancing in the streets
As the waters rise, we're merely covering our feet

Your gods are dead and now we're dancing in the streets
As the waters rise, we're merely cowering in defeat

I never let you go
I never let you go
I never let you go
I never let you go

I never let you go
I never let you go
I never let you go
I never let you go

Never let you go
I never let you go
Never let you go
Never let you go

Never let you go
I never let you go
Never let you go
Never let you go

I don't deserve you, why can't you see
I will desert you, why don't you leave
But you put your faith in me one last time
You, you put your faith in love all the time
I don't deserve you, why can't you see
I will desert you, why don't you leave
But you put your faith in me one last time
You, you put your faith in love all the time

I believe that you, you and me, you and me
We, we've achieved a love that we, we can see

I don't deserve you, why can't you see
I will desert you, why don't you leave
But you put your faith in me one last time
You, you put your faith in love all the time

I believe that you, you and me, you and me
We, we've achieved a love that we, we can see
For, I believe that you, you and me, you and me
We, we've achieved a love that we, we can see

So go find your path, take me with you
I will make sure no one hurts you
I need your ways, we deserve it
We'll depend on our love here we
Go find your path, take me with you
I will make sure no one hurts you
I need your ways, we deserve it
We'll depend on our love here we go
Here we go
You know, you know

For, I believe that you and me
We've achieved a love we can see
My love

yesterday when you opened your eyes
in the morning, and you rushed my soul
memories connect them all to her
have i lost you again, possibly amidst forever
the strong winds have shaken me inside

when you touch me, i feel it
when you touch me, i feel you

you've become my addiction
my mental preoccupied obsession
to hear your voice i extend toward the sun
eating makes me think of you
this city has become your face
strangling myself in my silence

when you touch me, i feel it
when you touch me, (i feel you)
when you touch me, i feel it
when you touch me, (i feel you)

i feel it... i feel it... i feel it...

have i lost you again, with the possibility of forever
the strong winds have shaken me inside
the sun barely giving of herself
i'm strangled in my aloneness, lockness
lock this before it's gone
winds have shaken me inside
the sun barely giving of herself
i'm strangled in my aloneness, lockness
lock this before it's gone

the collaboration and association
hear the story of another woman in time
giving permission for buying a gift
for the bearer of the selfish
(when you touch me)

yesterday when you opened your eyes
in the morning, and you rushed my soul
memories connect them all to her
eating makes me think of you
this city has become your face
strangling myself in my silence

when you touch me, i feel it
when you touch me, (i feel you)
when you touch me, i feel it
when you touch me, (i feel you)

i feel it... when you touch me...

They say women cry when walls retire
they say dead men die when walls retire when walls retire
unconventional deconstructive conversations
I will never let you go
conversational reconstructive demonstrations
why confess the final blow
he just thought I'd heat from your broken hands
'cause nothing seems to grow
he just had to speak the language of your only dreams
now I'm seeing to understand that
we are falling to armies
I've forgot to pray
you forgot to say please
I never let you go
I forgot to go
you forgot to know me
why confess the final blow
he just thought I'd heat from your broken hands
'cause nothing seems to grow
he just had to speak the language of your only dreams
now I'm seeing to understand that
we are falling to armies
blindness searched no god nor men so
we are falling into desease
we're falling into desease
I'm falling I'm falling
I'm falling I'm falling
I'm falling I'm falling
I'm falling I'm falling
we're falling we're falling
we're falling we're falling
into into desease
desease desease
desease desease
desease desease
desease desease
desease desease
desease
now I'm seeing to understand that
we are falling to armies
blindness searched no god nor men so
we are falling into desease
desease.

We follow the ever falling rain
electrons protons fight again
so we run
we follow the ever rising sun
with feelings of all becoming one
then we fly
we fly in our dreams ever so more
swimming desease covered with gold
behold perceive
perceive with the blessing of all the gods
I miss the time of ?
see believe
tell me what it is that we believe
the storm shines bright
tell me what it is that we believe
the storm shines bright
storm shines bright
great finds of thoughts lying in the skies
overwhelmingly of the might
so we sing
we sing to the spirit worlds of ghosts
perviding our vital life force
then we breathe
we breathe with the breath of I Ching
with the spirit that moves through all things
now we sing
sing of all that is alive
will be there way to survive
life released
tell me what it is that we believe
the storm shines bright
tell me what it is that we believe
the storm shines bright
tell me what it is that we believe
the storm shines bright
tell me what it is that we believe
the storm shines bright
storm shines bright
storm shines bright
so bright.

the love that you bring
you bring me alone
the pain that you give
gives me a home

do you want to stay by my side
do you want me to turn and hide
we are disappearing inside
seeing pictures of our goodbyes

but we, we believe
that our love will survive
the pain that you bring
it brings me all alone

do you love me
do you hate me
do you wanna believe me
do you think that you don't need me
do you wanna deceive me
i can't think that it's all over
don't wanna forget
i can't take the disappointment
that i wanna repress you're

goodbye, goodbye
the design we broke the mold
the dreams when you see
that goodbyes aren't for long

please follow me
to the borders of destiny
i don't wanna break from your side
the falling ground screams goodbye

please follow me
to the borders of destiny
i don't wanna break from your side
the falling ground screams goodbye

goodbye, goodbye
the design we broke the mold
the dreams when you see
that goodbyes aren't for long

Where are we to go?
How can we survive?
When the falling rain seems to cease we will all have to go.

Where are we to go?
How can we survive?
When the falling rain seems to cease we will all go.
We have built our lives without nature in mind.
So that we've become the disease but we wont go.
Those that survive can end with our life
Peace will be returned
We need to praise you
Peace will first be revenged

Once we used to hear but like footsteps appear
Now we have no fear and in turn will disappear
We have built our lives without nature in mind
So that weve become the disease but we wont go
Those that survive can end with our life
Peace will be returned
We need to praise you
Peace will first be revenged

Reveneged…revenged…..
When the rain washes all the mitochondria
Try to steer your intentions into love

When your fears mix with brain wash erosions dear
I wont be here then, you wont be here when
When the rain washes all the mitochondria
Try to steer your intentions into love
When your fears mix with brain wash erosions dear

Just watch the rain
Just watch the rain
Rain watch the rain
Just watch the rain
Just watch the rain
Rain watch the rain

Where do we go?
How do we meet you?

Are we a fantasy
Swimming in theocracy
We are far from holy
The wholeness of one
Repeat after me
We lost the key of sight
Now blind, we fear in flight
We are far from love
But silence is golden
Please observe

Fighting your empire
Defending your vampires
Far away, we're going too far
Bombing your ignorance
Defeating your insolence
Far away, we're going too far
We're going too far

If today I die
And can not deny
The life that I live for what
I say, not befit myself in time
No time to die or kill (live)
No structures of a pyramid
No trained horses to arise
Surmise my position
My words define

Fighting your empire
Defending your vampires
Far away, we're going too far
Bombing your ignorance
Defeating your insolence
Far away, we're going too far
We're going too far

We go forward
We go backward
Living, dying
We're dying, we're living
We're living, we're dying
We're crying, we're seeing
We're living, we're breathing
Dying, seeing

Fighting your empire
Defending your vampires
Far away, we're going too far
Bombing your ignorance
Defeating your insolence
Far away, we're going too far
We're going too far

I I wanna fly fly on the wings wings of summer
but you you put your eyes you put your eyes on mine
go perfect your fall and no matter what smile for the mob
for today we've seen ever tomorrow's menu hits forever
I I wanna fly on the wings of summer
but you put your eyes on mine
I I want to fly on the wings of summer
but you you put your eyes on mine
don't confess their crime till you're languishing your concubine
when you think you got clever there will you end in fold of leather
now I I want to fly on the wings of summer
but you put your eyes on mine
now I I'm going to cry 'cause I've ran over the guy with the Hummer
but you put your eyes eyes on the device
now I I wanna fly fly on the wings of summer
but you you put your eyes you put your eyes on mine
when you think that it's all over they'll grip your own wings and make you roll over
to perfect your great fall no matter what smile for the mob
for today we've seen ever tomorrow's menu hits forever
for today we've seen ever tomorrow's menu hits.

I have 38 rifles and a bunch of handguns and ammunition
8 grenades, in case of scuffles
How do I protect myself, how do i protect myself
Without all that
It's my constitutional; it's my constitutional right
To arm bears

I am the Goddamn trigger
God made guns, so go figure

We are (we are), we are fatter, disgusting obese overweight fucks
A shot rang, animals scatter, bovine hormone growth chewy candy

I am the Goddamn trigger
God made guns, so go figure
