The action is unclear
But I expect it to be severe
To be severe
The action is unclear
But I expect it to be severe
To be severe
These are not just words
This is not a game
These are not just words
This is not a game
Words have meaning
You’re not seeing
It’s a shame the world clock is running out
Words have meaning
You’re not seeing
It’s your fault the world clock is running out
(These are not just words
This is not a game
To burn the world
From calling names)
Crisis of our own making
Keeps on escalating
I dare you to dare me
I’m quietly preparing
I dare you to dare me
I’m quietly preparing
For your annihilation
It’s our suicide
When you tantalize
Increasingly erratic
Complicated lies
Do you hear the propaganda machine
Reckless rhetoric
Seething from between your teeth
Provocation
Our damnation
Mad men tested like never before
Oh, I dare you to dare me
I dare you to dare me
Take cover!
The action is severe
Our future is unclear
Our future is unclear

Does it change how you think of me?
Fauxtography
Does it change how you think of me?
Faking lives
Making jealous eyes
You don’t know
Don’t know how to feel alive
Altering perceptions of reality
Sucking on the teat of technology
Fauxtography
Does it change how you think of me?
Fauxtography
Does it change how you think of me?
Staging lies
Validating eyes
You don’t know
Don’t know how to feel alive
Throw it out, we’re done with reality
Cash it in on the social economy
Fauxtography
I’m excited
Fauxtography
Why don’t you like it?

Old friends
“What did you…”
“I heard that…”
“No way, can’t believe it…”
“Won’t you sit with me…”
Breath in
The words all around you
No one’s talking to you
Will it be okay?
Stand in line
Head held high
Watch the time
Passing by
Watch the time
Passing by
On the first day
Hear the bells
Ringing loud
On the first day
Lose yourself
In the crowd

I don't know what's really going on
I don't know what's really going on
I don't know what's really going on
I don't know what's really going on
But it keeps getting worse
It keeps getting worse in my mind
But it keeps getting worse
It keeps getting worse over time
So pull it out of me, out of me, out of me
All the pain that I've caused
Pull it out of me, out of me, out of me
I can't take it no more
I'm falling apart
I'm on fire
What have you done to me?
This self-inflicted contempt pollutes my anatomy
What have you done to me?
No love
No living above
This toxic reality
You're a liar
Oh, baby, you're done to me
But I can't even begin to clean my anatomy
It's the ones that I know
Who keep me low
Acrylamides
Triethanolamine
It's all chemical
It's all chemical
It hides
It hides inside all
Phthalates I find
Disrupt my endocrine
Until
We meet
The end

Is Preacher closer to God or Satan?
That’s what I want to know
Is Big Black closer to God or Satan?
That’s what I want to know (to know, to know)
Exoneration
Time to shut it down
Four days negotiation
The prison takeover
Is Preacher closer to God or Satan?
That’s what I want to know
Is Big Black closer to God or Satan?
That’s what I want to know (to know, to know)
Festering fear
When I wake up every time
Don’t know what the day will bring
From the ghosts in my mind
Is Preacher closer to God or Satan?
That’s what I want to know
Is Big Black closer to God or Satan?

Daylight
Debatably
When somethings bright
It’s clear to me that I am
Very much alone
And round and round I go
Does anybody know?
Does anybody know?
Timelines
Of you and me
Run parallel
Invariably defined by
How long they go
Does anybody know
How long they go?
No way there’s no way that we’d grow
No way there’s no way that we’d grow
Daylight
Debatably
When somethings bright
It’s clear to me that I am
Very much alone
I’m very much alone
Does anybody know?
Does anybody know?
Does anybody know
Does anybody know
Where’d everybody go
Does anybody know?

Oh blue, I finally see you
Bright and fine
There could not be two
On wings and on walls
It’s a wonder ‘til we fall
Glimmer glow on my skin
Uh-oh we’re running the clock down!
Uh-oh we’re running the clock down!
Look away (look away)
It’s no wonder
The shape it took
Like no other
Man made machine
Take credit for assembly
Now all I see is blue
Uh-oh we’re running the clock down!
Uh-oh we’re running the clock down!
Uh-oh we’re running the clock down!
Uh-oh we’re running the clock down!
Leave us all behind!
Uh-oh we’re running the clock down!
Uh-oh we’re running the clock down!
Uh-oh we’re running the clock down!
Leave us all behind!
Uh-oh we’re running the clock down!

Love is not here now
Made out of place
I find it’s not lost on me
Warring souls collide
Inside my dark body
The world will fall
And it’s all I can take
Feeling pain for mistakes
Opens my eyes
To what’s become of me
Take a deep breath for me
Count up to five
Pray for me that we may
Sleep through the night
Love is not here now

Ha ha ha ha ha!
It's true, we talk a lot
Went to the top
said ready or not
With you, I'm justified
That’s not what I meant
take in stride
When one guy makes a problem
Only a man can solve ‘em
I'm not one to stand by
This is a game
It's only a game
You can't be the one that stops playing
This is a game
it's only a game
To you
Bet you didn't think it through
A bad idea
A point in time
My sympathy won't bridge that divide
I'm over here on the other side
I'm not one to stand by
Your mind is a trap door
I’m looking for a way out
Your mind is a trap door
I’m looking for a way out
Somebody
Anyone
Ugh
Ha ha ha ha ha!
This is a game
It's only a game
This is a game
It's only a game
This is a game
It's only a game
To you
Ha ha ha ha ha!

A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!!
