The Quarantine Sessions: Volume 1

by The Stone Eye

/
1.
V1: Gathered in the mine and shackled by the bone Pieces of the mind and desires of the fool Poisoned to the tone of what I see in you Feeding on my dead friends and taking what I choose V2: Stolen from the crowd and thrown into a cell Latched onto the bars and summoned to the floor Talking bout my dead friends and If i'd bleed for them What's it mean to me and what's in it for you Chorus: What's it mean to you for me Held up by the role of man Wrapped inside a hand of silk Carved into a mask of blood B: For you For me For you
2.
V1: Towards the black cat of the night a hint of the fight distorts what we see and what we know Crash into the canvas of a plain a taste of your grace ignites a flame V2: Brush off all the dust the pixies and the lust a coroner to bust a simple plan With my hatchet and my cross I will not confront I'll become of one Inside you C: Take you away from the mounds of pain Stand to the beat of the marching feet B: It's just a funny tune Just crash and burn A stack of two So bleak but true A kiss of death A table without any legs
3.
V1: I’m always in your head Creeping into your bed Fed through a broken straw Beside a blood-stained wall I couldn’t see far It couldn’t be long Please me and treat me right Make me feel Retarded V2: This wall of mine holds back All of the times we had Falling into you Falling away from me C: Passed out with a crack in my bones Inviting parasites in my head In my tracks, in my blood Inviting all their friends B: I’m always in your bed Creeping into your head I cannot see to far It shouldn't be to long
4.
V1: Don’t sit down and watch me bleed Your eyes roll inside and you scream A taste of reality, have yourself a treat Painted glass and walls to steal A shrinks sells you what you see A mind that’s make up of the hand that feeds you Pre-C: Fell into deep out of time The devil awoke in my mind Seeped into the depths of his eyes Drifting away for a time V2: Take a glimpse at the ones who breathe Paint a sight for all to see Pass a note to the ones who will not defy you Charred air is the thing I breathe Blackened scars are yours to heal I do not invite the hand that guides you C: Passed out on the same old road now, why’d you have to be so smooth Taken from my peace of mind and thru into your way of life Kicking rocks and throwing stones and face down in a shallow hole What you see is what you get so leave me be, farewell B: I’ve fallen to deep this time babe
5.
V1 : Gather around now, it's your beast and burden His every thoughts lie, to your creator He's the master, and you're the key Clawing sideways in the creation V2 : Burst of lightning, your eyes of eden Take my hand child, and part the water Plague of darkness, a simple reason Count me out now, I'll leave a pardon C: Seeking out what isn't mine Falling in and letting go Piece by piece it goes to show What's it mean to be alone
6.
V1: An aging piece of flesh and bone Blackened from the head to sole A teacher of his friends and foe A boy without a home V2: Castles made from sand not stone A hand that's made of glass not bone The juvenile sound of words Crumble in his hands C: Sound out the writing on the wall And bow down the two of them are one Don't try now to even up the line Without the boy listening to what she wrote B: I see your face in a maze of light And the stars shine bright tonight But I hear a voice in the dead of night
7.
V1: Who's out there, What's there? Told of fear, Who's out there? C: Run through me Run through you V2: Cold morning Crisp air It's good to Breathe in V3: What's that now, Who's there? Take care now, So long
8.
V1: What you know and what you see A god to us is a god for me V2: See you run and cross my feet Let them in and let them be A moment of led you to be A busted image on a burnt-out screen C: You don't know what you don't see A mighty palace for an unborn king Chew your meat and spit your greens A quiet hammock on a crowded tree
9.
V1: Stiffed waiting for odds l cannot see A deal that was not meant to be All things in the past must be set free A meager reply of sorts I see V2: Black holes in the fire beneath my feet Expanding with eyes I cannot see Tapes ran to till they burst and break from the seams A singular sound for all who breath A chance that was not for me to take Some reasons that were not meant to be C: A stare that turns my way The walls they speak my name A face that turns to grey B: Echoes my name
10.
V1: Lovely charm in the dead of night A taste of you makes me feel alright Told of the monsters who terrorize In my heart there is no light V2: My Poison flows into your veins It’s okay but nothing is the same C: Welcome to my inner place, I feel your blood run down my face You cut and scream but it's all a game, for I am you and you are me Hold you close and feel your eyes they dilate and wash aside I flow into you B: Passing into the shadows A crooked reminder of a shallow hole And I do not fault you But I did not realize my own fate
11.
V1: Descending to us A cloud in the sun Don't fear the one Just listen to the voice A booming reminder Of what was once one Apart of you Apart of me recedes V2: Close all your eyes Feed off the light The seven seas Are glistening at once A break in the wind A soft tasteless sin Divinity, deity What more? C: Let's see the sun Let's have our fun Let's be of one for now
12.
V1: With every hunt the moon turns dark and splits in two The place goes numb a creeping voice to fall into V2: With words of gold a voice to rank a house of gods Reciting words a lesson from a masquerade C: Inside my head it seemed so clear A voice in twos a taste of you Collapsing lungs a respectful tongue, you let me down you let me down B: I see a face I could not believe I know a name I could not believe
13.
V1: I packed and ran out of there I could not see straight Strung by the cross he cried let me be free Shingled and tossed aside he laid there with glee The Shepard cried out his name it rang out with glee V2: Torn and relieved I Sang but it was a dream I tossed and I cried for he with no relief Summoned in the banks of thee the sun set him free The Shepard cried out his name it rang out with glee C: Where have you gone, I'm fighting in you Machines don't rewind, what's set in the eye Miles of broke lies, their crying for you Worthy I'm blind, for thee I am fine
14.
V1: Set out for you last night In a drunken state of mind Some people just don't know Whose to give it all for the show C: Why I don't know anymore V2: Took out a loan let's ride Set out for the last time Toiled up an old cliff side Broke down without a light Confusion takes it's hold Redemption for the soul
15.
V1: A cancer to the soul A hammer to the dome Brother please come home Drifting in the wind A reason for the bends An epiphany for it all V2: Cryptic to the touch Desires feed the lust A phony intuition Eyes that burn to touch A hand that turns to dust Chewing out your guts C: Gone with the wind you sail B: Run away
16.
V1: Drove down by the corner of the abyss with some change and you Caught up in a landslide of entangled and delirious laughs Trepidation takes hold as we wash away in this awful mess Doesn’t matter now all we just got to do is take another hit V2: Passed out in a storm of a enticing fever dream The smiles of all who came before me just do not last A shake of the inevitable hands of the old and damned Temptation Invites all the resentful spirits of the land C: Trapped in a haze Take another, what is too lose? Beside ourselves with nothing but our youth B: Some day, my name will not last. I’m on the road I'm gone for awhile Wont stop anytime I'm on my feet
17.
V1: I watch the face before you fly I cross the air between our feet I see you crawling on your knees, girl I take what you cannot deserve C: Who are you? You're in my head V2: I stand beneath the air we breathe I watch the hours slowly flee I listen for what we don't hear Trapped beneath you and me
18.
V1: Poison in the well Take a sip babe, and fade into yourself That's why it's got to be Guess I'm the only one who sees you this way V2: Who and what you won't do. This life is a trip love, and I'm in it for the ride Fell into a sudden void Clawing my way out an end to it all C: Young Love B: Hey you, this life you may lead, I say farewell and I do not regret For now you may go off into clouds And crawl your way back down alone So now I am free oh yes I am free Free to be alone
19.
V1: Took from a world of senselessness, and placed into the sights of every seed Cushioned from all the ivy walls of kings and queens from the royal family V2: Take a taste of this sweet escape, from the darkest hole inside my cave Poison takes it toll on the crown of this cold and dark existent role C: Farewell Lady who you running from Hey good day sir got my, eye on the price Parasitic faking out the rest Sinking closer to the edge B: You let me down
20.
V1: Watching your eyes glow bewildered the mind goes A voice that’s inside my head points an arrow at your head And fires V2: Once I was excited to be delighted and invited But now there is a reason and it’s treason to prey on those Who have paid C: Take it away It’s inside Can’t find my way B: Passing the torch from the setting sun, pieces of you wash away Watching the stars fly into the sun, celestial eyes on the prize Senseless reminders of what we have, a mindless release of your hand Ending: Take me away
21.
V1: If the rain comes They run and hide their heads They might as well be dead If the rain comes If the rain comes When the sun shines They slip into the shade And sip their lemonade When the sun shines When the sun shines V2: I can show you That when it starts to rain Everything's the same I can show you I can show you V3: Can you hear me That when it rains and shines It's just a state of mind Can you hear me Can you hear me C: Rain I don't mind Shine The weather's fine
22.
C: Now I see your colors in vain And I know it doesn't even change V1: Face down in a sunken Maze It's the same old sunken place Wrapped in a Sickened state of mind Oh well what's to care this time V2: Stormed up the darkened mountain side Tore down the all illusive mind Restore the meadows of the youth Patient of the sick and numb Ending: Back door of your evil ways
23.
V1: How does it feel by the end, running around you? Is it true But I know now I’m going down this road I choose Show me a trick and I’ll laugh thinking about you, is it true But I know now I’m seeing all the things I see V2: Paint me a face on the wall and tell me it’s you, can’t you do Well i know now it just can’t all be the way I choose V3: Standing alone in the mirror talking to you, could it be true Well I know now it’s all just in the way I move C: Tell me true, can’t you do? I’m in bloom, how about you? I’m going down that same old road I choose
24.
Sleep (Live) 02:26
V1: Where’s that you’re hiding; on the other side of the road? What’s that, you’re crying? And it breaks my heart to sleep V2: But now it comes to me that the shepherd cries alone What’s that you’re hiding? Well it breaks my heart to sleep C: It breaks my heart to sleep B: Break away
25.
V1: Hey soldier, marching down the road Poor soldier, little would we know Dead soldier, where would you of gone Little soldier, why'd you have to go V2: Hey soldier, this is where we'll meet Hey soldier, this is where we'll greet Poor soldier, tore apart his chest Dead soldier, heaven is his friend V3: Hey soldier, where are you now A soldier, marching in the clouds A soldier, doing what he's told Dead soldier, doesn't have a soul C: Packed into a stairway which leads nowhere Fall into the void and scream but no ones there Choose your battles wisely as you are simply a tin man in hell B: You seem so out of sorts Didn't you get the memo We all are bound to fry
26.
V1: Who's out there, What's there? Told of fear, Who's out there? C: Run through me Run through you V2: Cold morning Crisp air It's good to Breathe in V3: What's that now, Who's there? Take care now, So long
27.
V1: Watching your eyes glow bewildered the mind goes A voice that’s inside my head points an arrow at your head And fires V2: Once I was excited to be delighted and invited But now there is a reason and it’s treason to prey on those Who have paid C: Take it away It’s inside Can’t find my way B: Passing the torch from the setting sun, pieces of you wash away Watching the stars fly into the sun, celestial eyes on the prize Senseless reminders of what we have, a mindless release of your hand Ending: Take me away

about

"This quarantine session is more than that - it is the launch of man's need to create when everything around him falls apart."
- Ivan Slijepčević

The accompanying digital only release for "The Quarantine Sessions"- a five part, twenty-five song live in-studio extravaganza which was recorded over a month long period following the Coronavirus lockdown.

The Quarantine Sessions finds the band exploring their own discography and playing songs spanning their entire five album discography in a live setting. Recorded live throughout a five week period between the months of April and May, this is as raw as you’re going to get from your favorite Philadelphian fuzz-heads.

This digital release features two bonus tracks not heard on the video sessions.

Dig it.
