Monster

Slowly burning out
I feel you in my heart
Shadows crawl about
Finding my way in the dark
Lost – forever lost
Down these halls that never end
Ghosts in bodies talk
Invisible and thin
When you going to hear
When you going to see
When you going to taste
When you going to breathe
I can’t see why
So many monsters live inside
They dragged me away into the trees and breathed in me – new life
Like an empty thing that never really lived before – never really breathed
They took my hands and guided me away – so far away
Into a place where I began to love the monster I’d become…

Not Alive
04:43
|
|

See them die there – homeless in the night
Walk on by them – just don’t look in their eyes
Keep on walking – keep your purses near
They’re demons stalking – you have a right to fear
Pick up your pace and dream of home
And dream of all the things you own
And close your eyes and close your mind
And close your heart as you walk on by
And close your eyes and close your soul
And everything you see will go
They are not real – they cannot feel
So does it matter if they’re killed?
They’re not alive (You’re not alive)
See those lovers – the love they have’s not right
Loving each other – out in the broad daylight
Sick & decrepit - they have no right to live
They’re all infected and they’re out to get your kids
So close your doors and pray to god
And close your heart and call it love
You turn your back – when they’re attacked
Your guilt of silence – a murderous act
You wash your hands – you wash your soul
You wash your guilt for the lies you hold
You think they’re wrong? You think you’re right?
You think you’ll go to heaven when you die?
They’re not alive? You’re not alive.

Agni Yajna

In a hole down in the earth (love and dreams beside me)
I cover up myself with dirt (love and dreams are all I need)
So I don't have to feel this hurt…
(we are the brokenhearted)
In a place inside myself (love and dreams dancing free)
all these things are never felt (love and dreams consuming me)
leave behind this empty shell (days of pain and love and rain)
In this land of rich and poor
I don’t want to feel no more…
a drug that turns men into gods
we are the forest and the fog
and in this world we live between
who we are... and what we dream
(dream 'till I find you.)
In a field so far from home
Throw away my skin and bones
This is all I’ve ever known…
We are the brokenhearted
Lovers blood is made of fire...

here among the insects
and amphibians of the night
her body like a shadow
moving so very soft
and delicate
through the brush
and thorns
she walks along the rocks
balancing herself with her arms
red hair dancing across her shoulders
and brushing each cheek
acts as if i’m not here
“I am you and you are me.”
she whispers the words
smiling down at the water
that reflects her image back up at her
and finds a spot at the lip of the cave
where she sits
watching the rain as it begins to fall
filling up her footprints across the valley floor
“I am my own and you are with me.
Take me away with you.”
she whispers in a sing-song voice
the words drift down from the cave
to where i sit
beneath the tree
in the rain
the rain is another voice
“We are together now.”
….always together…”
i watch as she smiles and spins
the rain swirling around her
thunder filling the world
and the lightning filling her eyes
“Sing with me…”
and i walk over to her
her face and arms up towards the sky
“Sing loud! This could be our last day!
Hold it forever with me…”
closes her eyes as she reaches out
straining her arms as if hoping
to brush her fingertips against the stars
“Dance with me tonight…”

Hollow Dream
04:26
|
|
||
Keep your back against the wall
Close your eyes and let it fall
Whispers drift down from the sun
Dream of golden fields – forever run
I drift away
No one’s around
Nothing in pain
There’s not a sound
Who holds the key – let me sit upon your knee
Whisper me the story of this man’s own hallow dream
If you could replace me I would want to be alive
Somewhere in that place beyond this haunted lover’s lie
Ocean blue, forest green
Somewhere in you not in between
Waiting… where lovers wail
Saving… he rose and fell
Darkness… this fragile shell
Starlight… the secret spell
…keep your back against the wall…

Drowning
02:51
|
|

Acting out – waking up
Trying to live with my lies
Reaching out – falling down
All of my friends they have died
And I keep my eyes looking forward
But the end of it’s all that I see
And I don’t want to be this person I see
And I don’t want to drag you down with me
So run away – don’t look back
Just run away – fast as you can
Falling out – feeling down
Sometimes it’s so hard to try
feeling this – knowing that
someday you will say goodbye
and I keep my face in the blackness
and I keep my soul in the dark
cuz I don’t want to see this reality
and I don’t want to show you my heart
so run away and don’t look back
just run away – fast as you can
drowning in the shadows – behind the sun
falling through the mountains of nothing done

Moon & Shadows
04:46
|
|
||
There is a light out – way out in the dark
I see it shining brightly deep inside your heart
Sometimes it goes out but it’s always there
Maybe no one can see it clearly but I don’t really care
Cuz it’s all I need / all I need to see you
It’s all I need / all I need to see you with
You may sit in the silence but I hear what you say
We don’t really need words between us – they just get in the way
Let them take it for granted - Let them walk in the sun
the moon and shadows – where nobody comes
wine and phantom shapes at random
walking silent – drifting by it
walk together – slightly severed
from the hour’s poisoned flowers
you and I walk through the night
with all the world beyond
you and I walk through the night
and all the world is gone
moon and shadows
fields and meadows
silent battles
creaks and rattles

Something Pure
04:24

Everyone's got opinions on how to live
They say I can't be the way that I am
I'm just like you, just a man who finds his way
Looking for love, no matter what they say
Everyone is judge and jury, laws they have to tell
They say my life is wrong and I will burn in hell
Who are they to say - are they perfect everyday?
Who are they to say I'm wrong for living my own way?
Everyone lies and everyone dies
closing your eyes / lie and deny
we keep our heads up high
and look up to the son (sun)
till we are blinded by
the guiding light above
we keep on walking by
afraid of the unknown
we keep on hiding here
inside our safety zones
and if my love is wrong / I don't want to be right
I've got to live my life
I have no choice
I can only be me
I cannot take your voice
I've got to be myself
Can't be anyone else
I've got to be myself
Can't be anyone else
and if my love is wrong / I don't want to be right
lover / liar / hatred & fire
Everyone lies and everyone dies
closing your eyes / lie and deny
lover / liar / hatred / fire

These Eyes See Sorrow
04:02
|
|
||
close your eyes and dream you're hallow
do you see yourself in there
deep inside that fragile body
lost inside where no one cares
you're feeling so pathetic
but I am standing here
I'm just like you, a loser
we're all gasping for air
and the dream it seems so perfect
when I'm looking in your eyes
but is there something evil
behind your whole disguise
these eyes see sorrow...
living in another body
i see out through your eyes
it's ripped and torn in pieces
soul becomes a lord of flies
your hand is always hurting
your wrist is always stained
your face is in the shadows
that's how we take the pain
and i see and know your reasons
but it's never quite so clear
you have this wall around you
and nobody gets in here
you're my reason to live and you're my nail and cross
these eyes see sorrow...
you're my reason to live and you're my nail and cross

Useless
02:45
|
|

I try to live but life gets in my way
I try to love but it isn't you I blame
Here in my heart I'm stumbling in the dark
Losing my way, over and over and over again...
It's useless...
I see the world behind a wall of glass
Sitting on my ass I watch it all go past
Every little piece - it sinks and cuts in deep
Try to pull them out, over and over and over again...
It's useless...

Safe
03:29
|
|

i saw the pain - inside your eyes
& saw a place where a dead heart lies
safe from the pain of life
safe from the pain inside
i saw a truth you wouldn't tell
beyond a wall you held up so well
safe from the pain of life
safe in your little lies
safe for a little while
safe like a little child
i saw a love you couldn't speak
inside a heart that you put to sleep
safe in a little dream
safe from your enemies
safe from the things you've seen
safe now from everything
you had to die...
this last note you left
words read after your death
lost in your final breath
all this in sadness
you waited with your eyes closed
held me in silence
and dreamt of your great unknown
you had a life I never knew
a lonely place in a darker room

Silent Friends
04:53
|
|
||
You tuck me in then you smile
Keep the door cracked when you leave
Everyone waits in the dark
Crawling silent under my bed
And I hear them silently
I hear them singing to me
I hear them breathing
I hear them calling my name
I hear you walking the halls
Whispering words to yourself
Inside this room feels so small
Outside my window – a voice
And I hear it silently
I hear it singing to me
I hear it breathing
I hear my silent friend
There is no one else around
Here in my head I can’t be found
I see these faces in my mind
I leave this real world behind
I wonder who can it be
Which monster will come for me
The silence fills up my room
I wonder if it’s really you

Being, Becoming
07:48
|
|
||
dreams are your mind - they are not mine
falling and running - so far behind
so long we've been dreaming
but we're standing still
being and becoming...
something else...
waiting so quiet - the night's so dark
hearing the silence - inside my heart
all the lights are so far away
and there's a distant sound
angel’s wings on a devil's back
now I'm off the ground...
could you love me
no matter what face I wore
could you love me
like you did before...
I'm all alone... with this heart on my sleeve
I'm all alone...
please don't leave...
Life stands at the door
in a constant movement.
never looks back
only attacks
Life looks at itself
in the face of the future.
never hopes for
perfect order…
ahhh…
Life stands at the door
In a constant movement
Never looks back
Only attacks…
Chaos, ghosts and shadows
(turning... like no other... turning…)
Dreams are your mind… they are not mine
Falling and running… so far behind!
so long we've been dreaming
but we're standing still
being and becoming...
something else...
I MUST BE LOST HERE (x4)
so carry me away... away into the night
my skin's becoming gray... my eyes are turning bright.
being... becoming... something else...
being... becoming... something else...

Wars for Jesus
03:20
|
|
||
Rape the land – rain bombs or napalm
Shred the soil – mixing blood with oil
Holding all the weapons and think you’re holier than thou
Starvation and suffering are the jewels on your crown
So go ahead and start your wars for jesus
I’m sure that he needs 10,000 dead
So go ahead and start your wars for jesus
Shed his blood so you could spread bloodshed
Godly man taking legs from children
Bomb the kids - it’s all god’s will
Using all you can to justify your soul is lost
Christians with their hands of blood holding a sharpened cross

Terror & freedom defined
faith is a cage by design
you will decide
all of the earth will abide
carving your face like a beast
god is the whip you unleash
never to cease
wearing the war you call peace
everyone goes and everyone follows (who are we now?)
Keeping you close to its tits
the whore carves your cage till it fits
feeding you lies
keep you smiling while you die
running the race of the game
all of them one in the same
taking your voice
you don't really have a choice...
NOT / TILL / YOU / BREAK / FREE!

OctoberFamine Oregon
OctoberFamine (OF) is new wave dream music. We are not trying to fit into any mold but to create something that is true to our nature. Often we dig into the roots of pain and pull out simple beauty. Other times we contradict ourselves to construct the landscape. The paths are quite different from stage to stage. We stand up among the obscure but we also feel quite at home among accepted normality. ... more
