Elefante Rise
04:26
|
|||
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

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)

The Languid Saint
05:06
|
|||
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

Oh, stay awake my love
There’s still wine and drugs
We’re in the final hours
The cycle ends, begins again
Fall on the floor, we’re dominoes
Cant see the world around through the glow, no no
Fall on the floor we’re dominoes,
Aint no second take, no
Oh yeah, we’re born only to win
Manifest end came from within
Fall on the floor, we’re dominoes
Cant see the world around through the glow, no no
Fall on the floor we’re dominoes,
Aint no second take, no
We’ve run right out of time
We’ve run right out of time
Played ourselves out
Fall on the floor
Can’t see the world around no
Fall on the floor
Aint no second take no
I want it all
Gimme gimme gimme, I need it all
Got a hunger, got a thirst that can’t be filled
I want it all, I need it all
I want it all, I need it all, I want it all
I want it all, I need it all, I want it all yeah
I’ll never rest until I’ve eaten myself
Alive, oh, oh alive
Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh stay awake my love
There’s still wine, there’s still wine and drugs

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.

Bar Crow Meditation
04:17
|
|||
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

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

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?

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

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)

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

Iron and Bone
08:49

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

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
