Faraquet Lyrics

This is only the beginning. Faraquet never (to my knowledge) posted their lyrics, so here goes. If you disagree with something please e-mail me. i wrote these down myself. These are not printed with permission--if someone is unhappy with my posting of these online, e-mail me and i'll remove. i make no profit off this posting, and i do not intend to.

Special thanks go to Tony Bent for his version of the lyrics. i basically put our two versions together, listening back over the album to clear up our differences. More often than not, Tony was right. So thanks.

For starters, here is The View From This Tower

Cut Self Not

Cut self not
To validate the life as whole

I would say
How splintered and locked away

Tired of sin
Here I am afraid
To set the ties and attain

Away
To be caught up in it somehow
Clean in your mind

Cut self not
Just forget a battle with split self
I would fail
So what if I walked away

Take a second and look at what you have
Take a second and look at what you don’t have
One with another locked out
On my own it’s the sad fact

Sometimes you get it
No time to get it

Carefully Planned

Once said to self
What’s made is old
Let it

Word in your mouth
Or to share
Alone again

Don’t say I’ll learn
The choice is yours
Or decide

Your wrong
To paraphrase the line
Quit it

Break your bond:
Alone again

Don’t say I’ll learn
The choice is yours

The Fourth Introduction

You sink to a re-breathe
Then to breathe in

Position ideology
With no substance
What’s in a word

Deserves new meaning

Terror flown high
Single file
Existence

For kid doing bom with open arms
Could make us feel dead

We’ve been killing for
One last fillet pig

Taunt me
Save me
Answer quietly

Fate of
Flown high
Single file
Existence

Song for Friends to Me

Flick the back the one’s that help to hold you
Then come again

Beat your head against you know we made you
You’ll fall again—you’re fucked

Change your crack and point out how it’s so hard
I sympathize

One into the next is how it’s done here
You’ll fall again—you’re fucked

We’re ok
I know you well

We’re ok
You’ll fall again—you’re fucked

Conceptual Separation of Self

Share
Form and space
The lost wait on us

Know when
Heart beats dark warnings
It’s gone

This concept of separation, well
Put it this way its not
Giving hope for it

But I don’t give a damn
Hold out
Anyway you want it all

Cold heart makes good
Bright lines have deceit
One could make it solid

But I don’t give a damn
Hold out
Anyway I want it all

Study in Complacency

Take the pill now
Makes you sane
Ruins the face-line
Like to care

Couldn’t sleep late
Couldn’t be on time if I tried
Obligation
Is a world that inviting when you can't control

I give in to promise
I can see
What a useless man I’ve become

Love to beg with existence
Ask myself and I know

Not give answers
I’d rather be blind
Had a big tear
Seems like days

Had to come now
But I can’t
Makes a circle
Restlessness made out of

Had to come now
But I won’t
I'd like to get closer to you
From the words that we share
Spent a lifetime
Giving out
Obligation
Is a world that inviting when you can't control

I give in to promise
I can see
What a useless man I’ve become
Love to beg with existence
Ask myself and I know

Don’t believe
I’ve ever had the pleasure
I’m not careful

Wish I could say
I was a whore
I was a whore

I don’t get it

Sea Song

Made a case for
Three failed attempts in want
Save for the backlog
Hard field and green shack

Freefall
Down without a net
Who cares
Now, I know you well

The View from This Tower

When I leave here I’ll be glad
Much like the ones that drove me out
Their smiling heads wag as one
Taking care nurture your ego
But we’re not being chosen the truth they bear
I said let them play with their power and fracture
Let’s take on something less petty
I’m ready to move on
I’m ready

Go HOME!
