Elefante

Elefante, coma comin’ on behind my eyes Elefante, blow the sacred horn, and stomp in time Elefante, we were sisters once, another life Elefante, tune the loathing out, tell myself I’m fine Self portraits, my hands won’t paint I crumble, flash and faint Self reflection, through blurry eyes Sleep dies, the pills can hypnotize David as a raven, Eddie flew away in the loving grey (I’m comatose again, I’m comatose my friend) Pink Tree was a lost bird (I didn’t want to tell you, got troubles of your own) Left an icy world on a brilliant burn Starved by amnesia We were born as twins with no future Elefante, You can be my god, my giant, gentle fraud Self portraits, my hands won’t paint I crumble, flash and faint Self reflection, through blurry eyes Sleep dies, the pills can hypnotize And I don’t know how to shake it It doesn’t work to fake it I’m lonely and I’m naked Wake up kid, wake up Test the blade to test my nerve Coward king of empty words You’re not here And I’m not all there -Camden Chamberlain (additional lyrics from "Comatose" by Mushman, written by David Ross Fetzer)

Lovin’ and I’m leavin’ Remain alone I’m dazed again and showin' bone I haven't slept for days and days I'm livin' in my grave Failin' and I'm fadin' A start to end I’m headin’ round the bend again Day dreamin' painless ways to die My devil's by my side Confess before the mirror's eye embrace the lie, and watch it die Sweatin' and I'm shakin' breakin’ apart I got a cancer in my heart I got a sentence I can't save I’m living in my grave Beggin' and I'm pleadin' No one to hear I am addicted to my fears I choke on every single word so fill the hole with dirt Confess before the mirror's eye embrace the lie, and watch it die -Camden Chamberlain & Anthony Phan

Slavin' for their slow conquest I was pavin' roads to pay down debt You were the final face behind my eyes I wanna sleep til Elefante rise NOT GO CRAZY NO, NO, NO, NO NOT GO CRAZY NO, NO, NO, NO I wanna hope, I want to dream But I'm afraid it's all just how it seems I lost the laugh inside your ghostly touch Your siren song portends the death of luck NOT GO CRAZY NO, NO NOT GO (I relax and let it go) NOT GO CRAZY NO, NO NOT GO (I relax and let it go) NOT GO CRAZY NO, NO NOT GO (I relax and let it go) LIFE AINT NOTHIN' BUT A POORLY WRITTEN SHOW I’m burning down days, the sickness ablaze Afraid of the sun, long nights on the run Enemies always near, whispering in my ear And no pill made by man can save me NOT GO CRAZY NO, NO NOT GO NOT GO CRAZY NO, NO NOT GO NOT GO CRAZY NO, NO NOT GO Life aint nothin’ life aint nothin’ NOT GO CRAZY NO, NO NOT GO (I relax and let it go) NOT GO CRAZY NO, NO NOT GO (I relax and let it go) NOT GO CRAZY NO, NO NOT GO (I relax and let it go) Life aint nothin but it’s all we’re gonna know -Camden Chamberlain

The first time that ya killed Killed something fully Killed something whole You were driving Quick as intuition Cutting round the corner of the road We live our lives by starlight Paint the moon at midnight Hunters shine their Spotlights But we’re all ghost already Ghost The first time that you loved Loved something fully Loved something whole Your were broken Always alone Struck down, a dying doe Horn and skull, love and bone, we’re alone We’re always alone, we’re always alone, we’re alone -Brian Kubarycz (arranged by Camden Chamberlain & Vanessa Angulo)

You the languid saint lavish lip-reader framed Declined to testify Before the lord of light I’m on a ship that was broken to bits ‘fore it ever did sail, hammer, oh nail Christ came and went, left us broken and bent We laid into the wind, soaked in our sin You got the fine, feed off the mind You got the flesh, sweeter, sweeter Rose above the fray Surveyed all the old way Where there once was trust Lives decay and rust    I’m on a ship that was broken to bits ‘fore it ever did sail, hammer, oh nail Christ came and went, eft us broken and bent We laid into the wind, soaked in our sin YOU GOT THE FINE, THE FANG TO TAME DOWN FEED OFF THE MIND, THE BRAIN BE UNWOUND YOU GOT THE FLESH, THE FANG TO TEAR FRESH IT WILL NEVER TASTE SWEETER, NEVER TASTE SWEETER You got the fine, feed off the mind You got the flesh, sweeter, sweeter Silent the storm Had No shape no form Drowning the old way Crawling in decay -Camden Chamberlain

Stay down don’t fight me, I got what you need, I’m a titan of industry Bona fide player, greatest deal maker I’m The Be All, end everything Seven bloody psychopaths in my head Stompin’ through the crowd, leavin’ pools of red Call them enemies, they’re tremendous friends It’s gonna be terrific when you’re all dead, dead, dead, Dead. You were my savior, addicted flavor, taste that was always near But then ya fell off, drops on umbrella, frequency I can’t hear Seven bloody psychopaths in my head Stompin’ through the crowd, leavin’ pools of red Call them enemies, they’re tremendous friends It’s gonna be terrific when you’re all dead, dead, dead, Dead. Every word you say could make a book of make belief Sideways phrases, words come in crooked through your teeth Hate the way you speak, I wish you wouldn’t make a peep Trust falls have dried up, you should really take a leap I see envy in your eyes, so many shades of green It’s like a forest of despise, if looks could paint a tree I got bullets for your halo and I aim to please Watch ‘em cut through the sky like a prayer for peace Don’t do what Caine and Abel teach, no You could always go for blood but I can always drain a leach I don’t fall for the way you taint beliefs I’ll cut off arm leg leg arm head and parade the streets What I say usually tied to a rant I just can’t fake news, call me a tyrant So that’s that, every word I say is fact Matter of fact, these critics gonna make me laugh Roll over in a grave, i’m getting paid You slave over time below minimum wage With no common sense in the pocket, stop it You way out the pocket, nowhere on topic If I may, all y’all on your feet, no kneelin’ Chin to the ceilin’ if the door leaves ya feelin’’ Hello hello no what the hell am i doin’? If hell’s in the head Richie Rich just flew in The shit’s brewin’ if ya smell what I’m cookin’ Mister International, always keep a pushin’ Watch in silence, our lives begin to end we all Dead, dead, dead, dead Every loyal friend is in your head Playin’ for your supper and your bread Hangin’ onto every word you said Only laughing with you when you’re dead dead dead dead Seven bloody psychopaths in my head Stompin’ through the crowd, leavin’ pools of red Call them enemies, they’re tremendous friends It’s gonna be terrific when you’re all dead, dead, dead, Dead. -Camden Chamberlain, Pat Maine, & Calhoon Popadopolis

I’m too tired to fight, Ya stomped my heart again last night We’re so close to the end It’s time to tie off the noose dear friend It goes na, na, na, na, na, na ,na, na, na, na We were bar crows, low dose, oh so, oh so unhealthy Gave you all my time and love Colored by my impatient buzz Should’ve known from the start We were just too many worlds apart It goes na, na, na, na, na, na ,na, na, na, na We were bar crows, low dose, oh so, oh so unhealthy I never write a single line I wave my hands and everything just falls in line It’s magic It’s magic manifesting from my mind -Camden Chamberlain

Save your prayers for the flood to come Or hold your breath and build up those lungs If hope ain’t already dead It don’t live in me, don’t live in me I drank away those fantasies Ya lit up the night, ya burned so bright My star, my North Star, guiding light I’d give my last, give my my last drop of blood, My failing insides Your signal’s weak, I’m not receiving you I can’t be heard, can’t be seen in this Radar Valley Your beacon died,and the fog is rolling through I can’t be heard, can’t be seen in this Radar Valley Paint me in, a corner spot Dissolve the walls, you'll be forgot Save your tears for the drought to come You’ll need ice for whiskey and rum I tried in vain to get clean You cant wash me away, wash me away You were my sun, my sun and moon I’d die again to spin worlds with you   Breath of silk, I can’t breathe Hung by rope, end of scene. Your signal’s weak, I’m not receiving you I can’t be heard, can’t be seen in this Radar Valley Your beacon died,and the fog is rolling through I can’t be heard, can’t be seen in this Radar Valley Paint me in, a corner spot Dissolve the walls, you'll be forgot Breathe your last in memory's tomb Some days the end can't come too soon, Can’t come too soon -Camden Chamberlain & Ruby Friedman

I'm starting a cult today I need some cash You seem to need a whip across your back Empires we build on blood From chains and lash Give me a hole to dig Then fill with ash The Grid Expands We Stare Blankly Don’t take me, don’t take me, don’t take me down with you I won’t go, I won’t go, I won’t go down with you The tale has been retold all the way down the line Construct creating control Over human minds There is no grand design, Elefante’s my God False idols line the path, the road to awe The Grid Expands We Stare Blankly Don’t take me, don’t take me, don’t take me down with you I won’t go, I won’t go, I won’t go down with you I want to be near you in space and time I want your energy to fuse with mine -Camden Chamberlain & Rich DeCicco (The Ladies Of Sport)

Soaked the soil, soaked the soil. Weeping it goes into the roots and cushions the growth Push the weight, push the weight Over takes the land and spreads that good. Wide and green, wide and green. Through this side. Speak to me through this side. For lost heart, is a tender thing to love Her lost heart, is a tender thing to love Return and give Maybe strong, maybe light Return and give Maybe hurt, maybe light Break the block, break the block With every breath. Crushes it into pieces. For real this time, all real this time. A gust against the gut, Giving you, back your home to hold on to Through this side. Speak to me though this side. For lost heart, is a tender thing to love Her… lost heart, is a tender thing to love Return and give Maybe strong, maybe light Return and give Maybe hurt, maybe light I'm lost. I don't know any better and that scares me. Tuck, tuck in. Is it different every time or did I do that? Oh, I’m lost, I don't know any better and that scares me. Tuck, tuck in. Is it different every time or did I do that? -Vanessa Angulo

The kites are free Lift ya straight off to endless night We’re hunting the critters in the dying of the light We live well worn But our cheeks are still velvet soft We’d like to get to know you, a taste or two would show you all you need to know My home is yours I promise one helluva time But that might mean you’ll be leavin’ here with a little poison runnin’ down your spine The fire burns low Embers chime out our secrets in droves Engulfed in our nest, we’re the curious leavers My heart is pure and I’m hungry for a new breed of love A love that can stomach the beast as he stumbles through, in and out of tune It’s a late night Menagerie, menagerie Come on in, come inside, we’ve got nothing to hide -Camden Chamberlain & Anthony Phan
14.
Identical But not a twin That’s what they say Can hear them still A voice within Only an accident Never a miracle Always the vehicle Strikes me, never myself anything, but never myself I was trouble from the start Wore it on my heart A stigma or a scar A badge, a Purple Heart Crossing streets Ignoring signs Jaywalking, I Collect a debt Set things right One way or another Never a miracle Always the vehicle Captured on television Captured on television GOT NOTHING IN COMMON NOT EVEN WITH MYSELF -Brian Kubarycz (arranged by Camden Chamberlain & Vanessa Angulo)
15.
Bombs are building The Towers falling City’s in my mind Collapse into gravity Dead or alive The Sage of Jones’s Could have held the wall They might have saved us all, might have saved us all Welcome to the Afterland Where daylight tries to make its final stand, but if I can rise then I won’t burn Welcome to the Afterland Where I play dumb and you just run yet we are one inside this light This is my last ounce of will Bow before folly’s bill It never came too cheap But my hand was stuck in the till testament to the sun The god -abandoned One Gave all loyalty to the night sky The scythe of love, the scythe of love There are no answers here, only silence and acceptance The daylight’s creeping in, what’s left of all we could’ve been There are no answers here, only silence and acceptance There are no answers here, only silence and acceptance -Camden Chamberlain
16.
Sharpen the stone, the teeth, the nails, sharpen Open the chest, the eye, the vein, open Sharpen the stone, the teeth, the nails, sharpen Iron and bone on ice, circle silver iron and bone on ice    Cool down your fire You ain't a siren yet Burned out the walls  This river's not your friend Leather and steel, the words set in fire Woken in flame, the slow burning choir  Cover the beast with roses and water File the fangs and free all the daughters iron and bone on ice  Cool down your fire You ain't a siren yet Burned out the walls  This river's not your friend File the fangs and free all the daughters File the fangs and free all the daughters File the fangs and free all the daughters File the fangs and free all the daughters I’m walkin’ through the valley of death, I’m dyin’ anyway, it doesn’t matter if I run, Or if I walk, and if I talk, it’s just to say The devil’s gone and had his day With me, with you, with every child, With every child, with every child -Camden Chamberlain

about

Cavedoll Utah

Cavedoll originated in the late 80's as a failed attempt to create a cult in the already cult-saturated high desert of Utah, for the purpose of raising cash, free-ish love, (of course) lots o' drugs, cute ladies, hawt dudes with cooking skills, and solid beats abounding. None of this materialized. What is left: many albums by figurehead & curator Camden Ray & his more talented friends. ... more
