Moon Tooth - Phototroph [Full Album 2022]

Lyrics to Phototroph [Full Album 2022] by Moon Tooth

Tracklist: 01. I Revere Too close to Too many ends Too much heartbreak I watched it rend Too many memories Of dead friends To mend A child throwing sand At the unforgiving tide These folk, a plague Upon sound mind Geography And the warmth of a woman's eyes No longer offer A place to hide Too much caught throat And not enough tears More and more knife play With less and less fear But I won't bleed for the wound That chose to disappear Cause my heart's still beating So I won't stop believing I'm loud cause I'm here I revere They swoon and they woop To dance and die young Cause they don't have the guts To write their own song They swallow security Like the warmth of a kissed gun They cheer for champions Then they say it can't be done To the wild unknown to heal With a burning fervor and zeal Tomorrow's too long To stick around here Cause my heart's still beating So I won't stop believing I'm loud cause I'm here I revere Grabbed that thunder From under the clouds And I caressed that lightning And I drank its kiss down Because Tomorrow's woe is a grave But I ain't in it yet So I won't go, I won't bend I ain't givin' in All I've gotta do Is just keep sticking it out All I've gotta do Is just keep sticking it out 02. Back Burner I wake in the morning I rise I get to ignoring Claws scratching the back of my eyes I feel like I'm torn inside Bastards want me boring But I'd rather die Rather die, rather die Loose this hound like a storm upon the cause 'Cause I ain't got all day, just got this ghost to shuffle off Got me cryin' out There's no fooling that demon That ambush predator When the frost starts eating through your banner He's crawling out There's no place to hide left Even skin's an adornment To tear down Loose this hound like a storm upon the cause 'Cause I ain't got all day, just got this ghost to shuffle off Most times I don't wanna Hear a goddamn thing from anyone But when I try to reach out, I can't find a Goddamn single son of a Loose this hound like a storm upon the cause 'Cause I ain't got all day, just got this ghost to shuffle off 03. Deathwish Blues Been had, been took All my hope gone, forlorn She was a light burst through the storm And I was home Thought I knew 'bout love Till that girl showed up I didn't choose her She didn't choose me Something bigger Chose us She laid my heart down On the floor And walked away from it And now it won't Sing no more Got me cavin' in Got me cavin' in Give my meat and bones To thrill and caution thrown She was a light burst through the storm But now she's gone Thought I knew 'bout love Till she gave me up Now I'm wild Now I'm a fire Now I'm dangerous She laid my heart down On the floor And walked away from it And now it won't Sing no more Got me cavin' in Got me cavin' in She took the only thing I had to lose Now I'm stuck here singin' Deathwish Blues Got me cavin' in Got me cavin' in Got me cavin' in 04. The I That Never Dies Ember Altar with friend and brother It stilled the falter and broke the smother And I laughed in wonder as the wool went under me I'm breathing, breathing free finally I howled in joy, "Glory be, glory be, glory be" Canine in the way I looked up Held fast and unconditional It's the hindsight, it's the silence, it's alright It's the I that never dies, it's the I that never dies Meeting the me, that I was before I was me Holy, holy And we laughed in wonder Tore woe asunder We are breathing, breathing free finally We howled in joy, "Glory be, glory be, glory be" Canine in the way I looked up Held fast and unconditional It's the hindsight, it's the silence, it's alright It's the I that never dies, it's the I that never dies It's the angels in the geometry Intangible and ever about me It's nine, three, nine, three, nine, three It can never die, it can never die, it can never die Up and down forever and different every time This is just a wave length at the curving of its line Up and down forever and different every time This is just a wave length at the curving of its line Up and down forever and different every time This is just a wave length at the curving of its line Up and down forever and different every time This is just a wave length at the curving of its line Up and down forever and different every time This is just a wave length at the curving of its line Up and down forever and different every time This is just a wave length at the curving of its line 05. Alpha Howl I don't hate, I don't hate, I don't hate this place I just hate that I'm here I don't hate, I don't hate, I don't hate these folks But they don't keep what I hold dear And I've been giving them more ground every day They're starting to root beneath my house And I can't let, let them in But I've been turning the soil out in the rain I curse the sun to bring clouds And I can't get rest It keeps me up, keeps me up Keeps me up, keeps me up Liberate, liberate, liberate this heart From inside the omega's house Burn it down, burn it down, burn the false wolves out Can you hear the Alpha Howl? 'Cause I've been giving the foreground to this hate It's starting to blind me to my crown But I can't let, let the venom in 'Cause I've been summoned to toil, ignite and rage It's all in the grin beneath my growl Can you hear it writhing in the sound? It keeps me up, keeps me up Keeps me up, keeps me up Impervious to sirens No meandering Arrow finds its target Once I let the howl in The burn's been unforgiving And it won't let me rest It keeps me up This beast in my blood, beast in my blood Beast in my blood, beast in my blood Beast in my blood, beast in my blood Beast in my blood, beast in my blood 06. O My Isle I'm looking out through the shoreline trees And as always, the gold light shines Through the bright green leaves But something's not right I don't hear the call Hear the call, hear it calling me My rapport with the land Ain't what it used to, what it used to be Sun kissed my face Wind howls its embrace And the sands dance about like willow limbs From my shadow like a ghost left billowing Rip from the current, rip from the current Rip from the current, rip from the current Rip from the current These northern hills and these southern reeds Can no longer pronounce my name So I take my leave But that's alright 'cause I hear the call I hear it call, I hear it calling me That promised land Where I will raise my, I will raise my keep Sun kissed my face Wind howls its embrace And the sands dance about like willow limbs From my shadow like a ghost left billowing O, my dear shores Gold above, great below Though I must go, know that I go forth with your light Into the wild world brandishing your might Rip from the current, rip from the current Rip from the current, rip from the current Rip from Hear, my shores, this proclamation Now I leave to you my deeds I leave this to you Every glorious occasion where I learned how to be free My hallelujahs I leave them to you O, my isle Rip from the current Sun kissed my face Wind howls embrace Sands dance about like willow limbs From a ghost left billowing Sun kissed my face Wind howls embrace Sands dance about like willow limbs From a ghost left billowing 07.

Nymphaeaceae Nymphaeaceae 'Neath the writhing reeds Trying to grow itself free Hears the sun sing loud You wear that hurt Like it's armor Only harms ya You don't need it You had a hole ripped in your heart And any effort made to heal it Only tore you more apart So you gave in to your demons You can lay it down You can lay it down You can lay it down Nymphaeaceae Climbs in pollen on the bee Takes flight o'er the sea And the hurt laid down You hear the echo of Hope's sound Calling you home now But you're afraid it's not real You had a hole ripped in your heart And any effort made to heal it Only tore you more apart So you gave in to your demons You can lay it down You can lay it down You can lay it down Nymphaeaceae Listens to signaling stigma She sings upon the breeze She's singing out She's singing him home "What took you so long?" Let's stick it out Let's grow Let's stick it out Let's grow Let's stick it out Let's grow Let's stick it out Let's grow You can lay it down You can lay it down You can lay it down And we can stick it out We can stick it out Let's stick it out 09. Grip On The Ridge Once again in the den of the moved on Been singin' this song for too long Do I bring, do I bring, do I bring this about? Am I getting chased down Or am I getting chased out? Hold for the latter and keep that heart stout Oh, I've got nothing but the white-knuckled grip on the ridge Oh, it feels like yesterday we were only kids I'm so over towing vultures I'm so post-bringing ghosts Hawk am I, hawk am I, hawk am I, how could I forget it? But I remember now Oh, I've got nothing but the white-knuckled grip on the ridge Oh, it feels like yesterday we were only kids Oh, how could we know That it would go down like this? Oh, hard winds will blow But we cannot desist And the blind side Keeps my eyes wide But I can't abide An unchanging tide I've got nothing but the white-knuckled grip on the ridge Oh, it feels like yesterday we were only kids Oh, how could we know That it would go down like this? Oh, hard winds will blow But we cannot desist 10. Carry Me Home Had a bout of love Got strung up Had about enough of splittin' How about that They say it's better To love to love to love to love and lose Ain't tryin' to hear that And that's just the thing I've been burned before So can you blame me When I close the door? One thing 'bout love It may just burn you up But it can't be outrun It's coming for your blood You gotta open the door up And let it inside You gotta open the door up And let it inside You gotta open the door up And let it inside You can't try to hide Can't deny I've got some time left Can't deny That time's worth spending Can't deny I've got this apple in my eye Who's gonna take a bite out? And that's just the thing I've been burned before But can you blame me When I beg for more? One thing 'bout love It may just burn you up But it can't be outrun It's coming for your blood You gotta open the door up And let it inside You gotta open the door up And let it inside You gotta open the door up And let it inside You can't try to hide I'm gonna find me a woman With bark and bite That don't take no shit And goddamn right I'm gonna stand by her side Cause she can stand on her own And if she trembles In the cold, dark night I'm gonna sing her a lullaby I'm gonna tend to her heart She gonna carry me home You gotta open the door up And let it inside You gotta open the door up And let it inside You gotta open the door up And let it inside You can't try to hide 11. Phototroph Been living underneath Murk and muck in the reeds And the light was Something I'd dreamed Then the photons reached 'Neath the violent sea And the fright was Broken on the rocks Then I heard a voice That didn't speak But sang in song "All ye who enter, abandon all woe" So I rose to my feet Brash and bold, I breached Found that light was Something I need Heard the hope in the breeze So I chose to live free Left the tide pool I'd been hiding under Then I heard a voice That didn't speak But sang in song "All ye who enter, abandon all woe" I've been down on that goddamn floor Too fuckin' long "All ye who enter, abandon all woe" Crawled out the cave Wiped the dirt clean from my face I breathed deep the free air Saw my broken past Had only helped me last this long I've been down, but I ain't done yet Oh, then it came to me That the shadows I'd seen Only meant to reveal That the light was right behind me The whole time Then I was the voice That didn't speak But sang in song "All ye who enter, abandon all woe" I've been down on that goddamn floor Too fuckin' long "All we who venture, abandon what's known"
