Craig Signals debut album from the Portland/Vancouver/Clackamas Indie music underbelly.   Former 10 year Portland 911 operator.  Now I work somewhere else, but it's cool.  We're all good I think.  I hope so anyway.  I'm proud of that group and all that they do.  Don't let the darkness consume you!

Poltergeist

I do not care
I do not care what god you serve

You spend your life recycling the oldest lie
That you might have some say in what comes after life
Who are you?
What is your claim?
The Poltergeist inside you does not know your name

You ask us for our trust then treat your children wrong
I do not care what god you serve when you sing that song
I do not care what god you serve when you sing that song
I do not care what god you serve when you sing that song

It's not so bad
It's not so bad to wander
It's not so bad to care!

It's not so bad to try to sing a different song
To let your question wrestle with you all night long
To wait for truth come burning through the parasites
It's not so bad to build a raft on which you can rely

You ask me for my trust then treat your people wrong
I do not care what god you serve when you sing that song
I do not care what god you serve when you sing that song
Whoa...

This is the end
The end of all our patience
The end of something ill

This is the end of houses built on shifting sand
The end of false religion and unjust demands
The terrors and suspicions of our smallest men
The end of our salvation
Sovereign over the pretend

The church may offer peace then they pick up the stones
I do not care what god you serve when you sing that song
I do not care what god you serve when you sing that song

I Need A Ladder

Just close your eyes and make believe
There's a critic who's watching you breathe
He's scribbling in shorthand
And you know you won't get a word in
He's sharing his magic
Sharing his truth
Just sharing his magic
And you know no one was asking you

I remember sleeping in the backseat
Seagulls outside were watching me breathe
Three days off and nowhere to be
Nowhere I am
And Nowhere feels right to me.

It ain't lost on me
A pile of bones in a cheap seat
A series of wishes that wishes to be incomplete

I need a ladder
I need a ladder
Something that matters, oh no
Something that matters, oh no
I need a ladder

I remember how the ocean stings
Too many eyeballs, too many cellphones, too many footprints

If I could come back as anything I'd become a fossil
It's less of a hassle

I remember sleeping in the backseat
Seagulls outside were decent for company
Three days off and Nowhere to be
Nowhere I am
And Nowhere feels right to me

I need a ladder
I need a ladder
Something that matters, oh no
Something that matters, oh no
Something that matters, oh no
I need a ladder

Probably (A.I. Love)

We're in the teardown phase
We're drifting sideways
Whoa-oa-oa-oa
We're in the teardown phase
Can't trust your eyes these days
Whoa-oa-oa-oa

And baby you're gonna give me everything
Baby you're gonna give me everything
Baby you're gonna give me 
Everything I need

I'll bring it right to you
I'll keep it tight for you
Whoa-oa-oa-oa
You're spinning all the wheels
Maybe your life is real!
Whoa-oa-oa-oa
I'm keeping pretty calm
surrounded by timebombs
Whoa-oa-oa-oa

And maybe someday you'll win the lottery!
Maybe your life is real!  Probably!
Maybe your god's playing Monopoly
A black out drunk with no family
Maybe loneliness explains why we came to be
Now we need your god to come back to sanity
Or we need to replace him completely
Maybe teach all the preachers some humility
Maybe cast all the liars to eternity
Just don't take a closer look inside of me

Maybe maybe your life is real probably
Maybe maybe your life is real probably
Maybe maybe your life is real probably
Maybe maybe your life is real probably

Oh baby you're gonna give me everything
Baby you're gonna give me everything
Baby you're gonna give me
Everything I need

Nightshift Callers

You come from Oklahoma
Someone bought and sold ya
You call on me sometimes
I'm kinda spyin' on you guys
And all of your problems
Catchin' up to you often
We both sleep in the daytime
We both hate the sunrise

We hate the sunrise
I hate the sunrise

You're somebody's baby
But it's all kinda hazy
'Cause you're somebody's nightmare
You're not happy unless nobody cares yeah
You can't stand the sweet guys
You wanna man with some demons inside yeah
Want him to say the hurtful words
It makes sense when love and pain get blurred yeah
You wanna claim your lost time
You wanna pause and rewind
You blame it all on the outside
Blame it all on the outside

If only people would stay true
If only everybody listened to you yeah
It's probably 'cause of the money misspent yeah
It's probably 'cause of the government yeah yeah

Blame the outside
Blame blame the outside
You can always blame the outside
You can always blame the outside

Your God's Name Is Ambition

Hold your nose and say all your prayers
Don't wonder if there's anyone there
Don't think about it
Don't think about it

How's my country treating the meek?
Should the strong rule over the weak?
Don't think about it
Don't think about it

Don't think about your words
The dark devices you serve
It ain't hatred if you call it religion
It ain't blasphemy if it feeds your ambition
Then the wolves rush in
Dripping wet with unoriginal sin

Your ambition
Your ambition
Your god's name is ambition
Don't think about it

No one buys your faith as it is
Better brainwash all of the kids
Stand and raise your hands and be saved
Get 'em while they're young and afraid
The savior came down and offered you a crown
His only condition?  Don't stop and look around
Don't listen to the scholars
Don't pull against your collar
Just wait another two thousand years
Drop us a follow

Don't think about the cost
The credibility lost
It's not evil if he's wearing your team name
He's not Hitler if he's rounding up Mexicans
Then the dam gives in
And shows the people all the sickness within

Your ambition
Your ambition
Your god's name is ambition

Don't think about your words
The dark devices you serve
It ain't hatred if you call it religion
It ain't blasphemy if it feeds your ambition
Then the wolves rush in
Dripping wet with unoriginal sin

Your ambition
Your ambition
Your god's name is ambition
Don't think about it

Don't think about it

I get caught in a rhythm
I come here sometimes to clear my head
And be somebody else instead
I don't ask for a reason
Reasons feel lonely and confused
Sometimes I just wanna talk to you

Do you really pay money for all these shoes?
What kinda poison do you abuse?
Do you ever judge somebody by their clothes?

Do you believe in UFOs?
Do you believe in UFOs?

Stand back for a minute
I get that look that you just gave
Like "Let's not get carried away..."
But do you ever feel like someone's behind you?
Are you afraid of dying too?
Have you ever let anyone get too close?

Do you believe in UFOs?
Do you believe in UFOs?

I'm afraid if it's god up there
He beats his wife or he doesn't care
We're better off if it's UFOs
It kinda feels like everybody knows
