Ludicra Another Great Love Song 1. The Only Cure, The Only Remedy This time I tried to plagiarize a smile To show the lightness of heart But the first glance dismantled the part of heart and gut The grin, to the clear eyes that mirrored me The grin, to the black eyes that mirrored me Coughing a smile out of droning words and colors Fabricate laughter and the sanity of self Because the lie of this life is the lie of all the useless sorrow That feeds this want and brings rise to error Why must it be!? The only cure The only remedy I tried again to undertake a small spot of yearning (the longing, the lust) But the second trial failed to stop the part of heart and gut These thoughts, tenfold, flashing chemicals for a new day Slow the blood, damn the flood The maddest of minds The maddest of times Bereft of dismay I stand and fight nothing 2. Let Thirst the Soil Is it dead below? There is no seed, no grow No water flows when tides are low Scare the sea, it's easy! Let thirst the soil! To collide each time is taunting It is dead below There is no seed, no grow No water flows when tides are low A sea of spite, its teasing waves Love is drowned again Ride the sea of spite Lichen lives, love is drowned (again) 3. One Thousand Wolves I have nothing to say that will change the way Of the hand that led me through The days rolled on in heart and song But the wordless plight was due Time was lost in excited bliss The poison kiss of love I miss Remember the flame remember the dark Remember the day it made its mark So sew the seed before it bleeds Sever the root that will taint the seeds Enough clues have ensued to bring an answer forth Awake from a dream to our landfill That is overflowing with shit I have nothing to say that will change the way Of the hand that led me through The days rolled on in heart and song But the wordless plight was due The keeper of secrets has let the wicked free Unchained is the lock to our diary The eyes have cried one thousand wolves The lips unraveled more So I have nothing to say that will change the way Of the hand that led me through The days rolled on in heart and song But the wordless plight was due 4. Why Conquer? When you paint this town red, why not do it from your veins Let torrential tears of silver salt wash away the stains Be not concerned with petty things like pain or shame or fear Let these gutters swallow secrets your simple self held dear Free the buried stones When the last call has bled you thin Rest on the shoulders of every sin Remember there's no endeavor worth all the worry of the dour mind When you yearn to switch the light to dim This known condition will not detain you From the sunrise of each day of blame From the sunset and each night in vain, each night insane Why conquer? Why solve? Why conquer what cannot evolve? If you pick apart the one who bellows fire under everyone Time will not heal the hearts of the dumb When you paint this town red, why not do it from your veins 5. In the Greenest Maze I crave the waste - buried and forgotten Hidden - in the greenest maze Cremate - all this embitterment Still - alive in the earth Going over what was once benighted Etched in stone Etched in skin Fallen ghosts through time proved this curse of mine I crave the skies - lost stars you pointed to I saw their haze - I felt their warning I felt their chill - and I fell apart I heard them say - "It will never be the same" Going over what was once benighted I swore this time Before the chills come A shield will glaze over To hide these questioning eyes I begged and pleaded I cried a storm like the foolish do I swore the chills this time Will forlorn all seasons that raise the blood to boil I swore upon this molten heart A mountain grew, a path was built, a belief was granted It was given like a gift Fallen ghosts through time proved this curse of mine That echoed many more to hear and die Rereading What was once forgotten Etched in stone Etched in skin Fallen ghosts through time proved this curse of mine For all to hear and wonder why 6. Time Wounds All Heels Back and forth, confusions turning The future path is burning From the sun to purging rain These organs drop from loss to gain The soul was halved, the quest uncertain A new belief was needed And there is time, more than you need to know The plan was cheated Rise out of the reverie and sway the mastery Ascend from the history, abide to the mystery The fool is waning not to be the last one to see The heart is growing It has room to give everything It's not a thing one can learn To sigh or to yearn? Awake from this dream now Rise out of the reverie and sway the mastery What was learned from what was dreamed Is the longest hour in the shortest year Has been life's only theme 7. Aging Ghost No will or want on this day...this day this moment I'm a ghost and I've heard it too many times The corn cried A blanket flew into the sky And still, so what? On this day...this day...disappointment I'm a ghost and I've heard it too many times The corn cried A blanket flew into the sky Laurie Sue Shanaman ‒ Vocals Christy Cather ‒ Guitar, vocals Ross Sewage ‒ Bass Aesop ‒ Drums John Cobbett ‒ Guitars
