intro: [spoken word]
there was a place. then there wasn't.
people would travel far and wide, open their eyes
to find nothing
then fall asleep
what you don't believe
you may never believe
what you don't believe
you may never believe
as we stand quietly in defiance
and overwhelm them with
an all commanding type of silence
nothing not frightening
another city's silent night
is nothing sacred?
the subterranean's emerging
nothing can save us
as all your thoughts move to the city
i'll be over here
while you're sitting pretty
we'll watch the world disappear
forget all apologies, if you're still up to the task
all your "sorries" underwhelm me, don't seem the least bit sincere
forgiveness; lynchpin between friends
give a shit or make amends
blind-sighted me with that commentary
thought we were in this 'til the end
go watch the snow never fall again
watch the snow never fall again
watch the snow never fall again

if this were any other, any other day
i would've gotten my shit together
i'd've taken you away
but now i'm staring in this mirror, looking at my dumb face
i'm wondering why you live with this, when i've always stayed the same
move at a glacial pace, live out of a suitcase
i'ma let you call it this time,
and this space
have you heard the news; we haven't died
don't act like you're surprised or like
we first met, i'll be an alright guy
with good intentions, tonight's the night
this mind of mine's got a funny feeling
these eyes of mine, blind to time you're stealing
it used to be i knew right from wrong
i've fallen so far from where i belong
there's an old house, somewhere in the middle of the city
the shades are always drawn, and the TV's always on
there's an old house in the woods, somewhere filled with instruments
it's got all the goods: filled with history and memories
built far from the cities and droves, where nary a soul goes
there's a road to that home, made up of rocks and stone
but now i'm staring at the ceiling, i'm wondering what this is all meaning
have i heard what you're hearing? this is the thing i'm fearing
have you heard the news; we haven't died
don't act like you're surprised or like
we first met, i'll be an alright guy
with good intentions, tonight's the night
this mind of mine's got a funny feeling
these eyes of mine, blind to time you're stealing
it used to be i knew right from wrong
i've fallen so far from where i belong
have you heard the news; we haven't died
don't act like you're surprised or like
we first met, i'll be an alright guy
with good intentions, tonight's the night
[improv]
we both fucked up so much it's wrong
i'm telling you that's not a problem
get all these kids out of my yard
before i bring this stick down hard
have you
heard the news
have you
heard the news

Have You Ever

this friend of mine's in big trouble this time
he'll need some help in getting over it
is there any chance that in the meantime
we could take a minute to go over this?
there is always someone sorry,
doin' something that they wished they'd did
it the never ending story
so sorry you're doin' something that you wish you hadn't did
seven seconds
left of hangtime
the spiral through the air
the time we've got to get to the bottom of this problem
before calling game time
this friend of mine, traveled forward in time
said "friend you got something on your mind?"
had something to be said about hindsight
said "sorry you're fucked up inside"
left the clothes out on the line
left them outside all night to dry
all the while you're asking me why oh why
do we even try?
everybody meet a friend of mine
everybody needs a friend sometimes (from time to time)
everybody meet a friend of mine (sometimes)
everybody needs a friend from time to time (from time to time)

Comm. Breakdown

started back in '99
what was yours, what wasn't mine
those four letters on the wall
left 'em by the waterfall
wanna find out what they say,
gonna have to roll the dice
gonna need at least a nine
even then you're gonna find
inside this bank a pen enclosed
with a map to my other homes
you'll find that i had nothing left
a treasure maybe, not a chest
(wait!) don't read this out loud
they're talking about the room
right next to us
(hey!) don't need this right now
we're going about our day
about our way
they set up this sound system
the infernal machine
it blew 'em to kingdom come
i still hear the screams
(wait!) fell off the floor
a group headed to parliament
and set fire to it
(hey!) remember to thank
everyone at the event
the speaker's in the basement
(wait!) don't read this out loud
they're talking about the room
right next to us
(hey!) don't need this right now
we're going about our day
about our way

Night Time Drive
03:50

bus from somewhere else
up on fire lane
best keep fucking walking
i don't wanna see your face
i'm not liking these guys
go and ask someone else
if they saw something
laying on the train
scrape the ice
while i adjust my eyesight
i'll never drive alone at night
with anyone else but
with you by my side
everything's alright
i've not fallen on the inside
not like these other guys
we don't see eye to eye
not like these other women
we have nothing in common
never seen it coming
hit the ground running
went and found myself
inside my head, spinning
go and ask someone else
if they saw something
i'm not like these other guys
eating shit and grinning
every time i close my eyes
i'll start from the beginning
start each day healthy living
and end each night lonely, livid
we're only here and nowhere else
like a bottle on a shelf
scrape the ice
while i adjust my eyesight
i'll never drive alone at night
with anyone else but
with you by my side
everything's alright
i've not fallen on the inside

she left all the lights on for me
count the moths chewing on the canopy
so many mouths, all need to feed
there was you, and that leaves me
so far as i can see
my mind is ripe, hypothesis
mad enough to work
radio across the seas
we got word from europe
the jig is up, let's see your hands
get no advice from a dead man
send letters from japan
picked up something bad along the way
thought of something sad enough to say
so maybe you would stay
i believed in you and me
thought we could see in three-sixty
but i concede, far be it from me
to tell you how we shouldn't be
so pardon me
picked up something bad along the way (so maybe you would stay)
thought of something sad enough to say (so maybe you would stay)
what did you sit and think about today?
picked up something bad along the way
so maybe you would stay

Behold! True Believers Holyoke, Massachusetts
Behold True Believers! Bombastic Blasts of color and light!(TM)
Laser Beams streak bolts thru thunderous bass and
drums!
Four melodic instruments and three vocals form a storm in harmony.
A band to try an abundance of styles and still sound like That band.
This is music is meant for everyone, and is, without question, meant to be used for good. Onward,
Tru B's
