laughing, i'm always laughing
never frowning, i'm always laughing
smiling, i'm always smiling
and never pouting
i'm always smiling

bad times, they go
good times, they flow

beaming, i'm always beaming
never hiding
always beaming
growing, i'm always growing
always knowing
always growing

good times, they flow
bad times they go
keeping my head above the water

Lyrics:
I see water 
Lapping upon the heels
Of a body hung in trees
Stretching out to God

I see flowers
Scattered before the dawn
Rotting under decay
Burrowing underneath

I see plastic
Wound around the pallid skin
Of a faded memory
Clawing at the door

I see flies
Hung upon the bloated corpse
Of a figure 
Drowned in regret

If they lost their hope
Then what hope have we?

I see mist
Condensed upon remains
Stained
Where they chose to pass
And lay down dead

I see morning
Leaving the trees wanting
Waining
Where we lost ourselves
As the sun swings high

If they lost their hope
Then what hope have we?

I See Plastic

Throwing my bit of copper into the heavily bronzed well of honey-inspired tunes. Been relatively busy with other's music, so it feels good to get *something* out, albeit the vocals being rushed, but that's just cuz I'm more of an instrumentalist. Whaddya gonna do, I've exercised my vocal writing muscle for this track and hopefully next track will be better, who knows, just glad to take sail ya know.

Written, performed, mixed, mastered by Empty Angels

Lyrics:
I met her in my dreams, we'd been
Takin our time like it never ends
It kinda hurt to play my part
Knowin that I'll wake without her in my arms

My face melt like cake in a desert
I couldn't stand up
Took almost three days to recover
Is this love

She's so sweet
Honeycream

I met her in my dreams again
She had a cardinal primed at the hip
To set its perch upon my heart
You know that these branches aren't fallin apart

My face melt like cake in a desert
I couldn't stand up
Took almost three days to recover
Is this love

She's so sweet
Honeycream

Liquidated in a lake with you
Like an atom smasher we fuse

Honeycream

Look Who’s Laughing Now:

My thoughts get so mixed up 
When I try to think through this disarray
Now you’ve tried to dismiss my opinion
But convictions don’t go away

I’ve tried to stay strong
But it feels like we’ve been here before
And whether I'm right or I’m wrong
This isn't funny anymore

You had your chance to choose
Now your luck’s run out
It’s time you pay your dues
Look who’s laughing now
You found me beaten and bruised
Kicked me when I was down
What were you trying to prove?
Look who's laughing now
How the tables have turned
It all comes back around
There's nothing you can do
Look who’s laughing now
You got what you deserved
There can be no doubt
Now the joke’s on you
Look who's laughing now

We’ve been running in circles for days
Finding every potential mistake
And I wish that this wasn’t the end,
But we know it’s too late
Is there anything left to explain?
I didn’t expect things to turned out this way
Your intentions are best put to rest
In the bed that you made

How the tables have turned
It all comes back around
There's nothing you can do
Look who’s laughing now
You got what you deserved
There can be no doubt
Now the joke’s on you
Look who's laughing now

You make me feel so ordinary
Why should I care if you disapprove?
You’ve been keeping me stationary
I think I need to be on the move

I’ve tried to stay strong
But it feels like we’ve been here before
And whether I'm right or I’m wrong
This isn't funny anymore

You had your chance to choose
Now your luck’s run out
It’s time you pay your dues
Look who’s laughing now
You found me beaten and bruised
Kicked me when I was down
What were you trying to prove?
Look who's laughing now
How the tables have turned
It all comes back around
There's nothing you can do
Look who’s laughing now
You got what you deserved
There can be no doubt
Now the joke’s on you
Look who's laughing now

Lyrics:
I'm always shocked the first time
Less the next time
Then I do it all the time
I'm shocked I cared the first time

It's good to see you, but I'm tired
I know what you've done
Be seeing you alone getting pissed on

Do I even know you anymore?
You won't notice if I lapse
I'll just slip through the cracks

'Hello,' and, 'how are you?'
To a look, and, 'who are you?'

Depraved, corrupt, marred, malignant 
Eat me up

Life's gone 
Lived long
Way beyond 
Itself

Drowning
Take it all, take it all
And choke on it

This heat is numbing
Elbows rubbing
Burning pressure
To be fine

I watch as the stain dries in
Our heroes are dead
None of us are fine
Time will kill again

Drowning
Take it all, take it all
And choke on it

What's burnt is dead
Less and less and less

Unwound:

Save your breath
I won't have you pitying me 
Bite your tongue
You insult me with your sympathy
I don't need your lectures
Or threats of leaving, 
Heaven forbid
Hold your tears
Your drama isn't welcome here
I tell you, "Let it be"
Instead you choose to persevere
Why don't you take a picture?
It'll last much longer than we ever did

How can you say that I'm the only one?
You pull my strings and watch me come undone
I'm lying on the ground
All unwound and out of love
I've had enough of you

Oh I’ve had enough of
You and your lies
I should cut you down to size
But I'll be the bigger man,
‘Cause I know you won't apologize
Say what's on your mind, 
But don't forget to think
Before you speak
Lose that tone
Before I lose my composure too
We should have known
This contention’s been long overdue
Let’s hash it out
Talking loudly always does the trick,
Wouldn't you agree?

How dare you say that I never cared
I didn’t mean to hurt you girl, I swear
But I won't let you walk away 
Until I say my fair share. 
Let's be clear
How can you say that I'm the only one?
You pull my strings and watch me come undone
I'm lying on the ground
All unwound and out of love
I've had enough of you

Daughter II

The third iteration of Freud and the Terror Train re-recorded for our ten year anniversary release which you can download at the link below:

https://slavebeaverrevolt.bandcamp.com/album/ten-years-more

Lyrics:
Banjohmin
We’re the second best act on off-topic
Right behind Flobots, the show stoppers
But let’s be honest
They just want to viley-violate the violinist
Rider her with one hand on the bar,
the other on Andy’s guitar
(Operate her please)
They might be able to ride a bike with no handlebars
But I’ve got a handlebar moustache—that’s flyer than hipster kicks and tight jeans

Got a five year old strapped down in my limousine
But it ain’t like that—I’m just buying him an ice cream
Maybe if were more political
An elliptical trainer for your political brain
But we keep it underground like the terror train
Way back when we weren’t even men
The Pickled Poet had a chance but blew it
There wasn’t a Project Blowed here
Still the object was so near, of his desire

Then it slipped through his fingers, tore them to shreds like barbed wire;
So now he’s a hard liar trapped on a tight rope
Without an option to elope
But I’ll let you in on a secret, and I quote:
I killed the pickled poet
(and he don’t even know it)
That’s just how the story goes, no second chances, so bring on the sell-out slutty backup dancers.

John
I am nothing
But a train and
I assume that
You don't like me

I'm insane but
Not yet crazy
I will never let you go

Banjohmin
Maybe if we sampled lyrics and not music we’d be famous
But maybe we’re just too heinous
Taking you on a train ride you’ll never forget
The seats made out of rock hard flesh
Sit down and you’re bound to get wet,
If not Chris Brown’ll beat you to death
On the terror train—giving the safety rails brain, everybody’s drowning in golden rain.

John
Enjoy the ride you'll stay with me
Stay with me
I'll stay with you
I'll stay with you

Because it's Beaver
No, not the woman kind
I really gotta go, I just saw the time

Sorry if I dissapointed you in bed
I'll be quiet going out, just lay and rest your head

Because it's Sleave 3
No, not the other song
I really gotta go, it's the end of the song

Sorry if I disappointed you Richard
I'll be quiet going out, just a reference ahead

Big Boss & Solid Snake
IT'S NOT OVER YET
NOT OVER YET
YOU JUST MADE A BET THAT IT WOULD BE OVER
BUT IT'S NOT OVER YET
