I Know, You Know

You followed me to a sacred place,
and I need to know just how you found me.
You're visiting, you're passing through
and I need to know and I need to know just what you intend.
You me your papers, show me the documents
So I know that you know. I know that you know.
You're watching me from an unknown place
And I didn't know, and I didn't wake
Strip me for parts, take what you want
and I need to know and I need to know just what you intend.
Diagram it for me, draw until you break your wrists.
So I know that you know. I know that you know.
Strip me for parts, take what you want
Strip me for parts, take what you want
Strip me for parts, take what you want
So I know that you know. I know that you know.

Anyway

You took the picture
It is your art, but it's my life
Colors coming through
Some day, some how It will be right
Take this anyway that you to
I will never harshly judge you
It's just the way it is right now
I wrote down the words
They mean nothing, they mean everything
Don't even bother
It is too late, that bird won't sing
Take this anyway that you to
I will never harshly judge you
It's just the way it is right now
Take this anyway that you to
I will never harshly judge you
It's just the way it is right now

Drag Me
05:15

Panicked screams from the moonlit streets
Scattering figures calling out for me
Please ignore that, let's ignore that
Down the halls of the moonlit walls
Trace a shadow as I slowly crawl
It is too close, it is too close
Peek through the crack to the door in the back
It's getting louder, what do I lack?
It's courage, It is courage
Itching to slide out of view
There is nothing that I can do
I don't know you, I don't know you
Drag me down there by my hand or hair
Drag me under, rend me asunder
Drag me down there by my hand or hair
Tell me that I was so brave tonight
Stepping slow to the sound I know
Round the corner, do I have to go?
Can I do this? Can I do this?
Recognize that old cry
Daggers through me this is unwise
They deserve it, they deserve it
Said my name, throat near the blade
Eyes turn back, options are weighed
This is it. This is it.
Pushing past all the broken glass
Flying forward, my wounds amass
This is it. This is it.
Drag me down there by my hand or hair
Drag me under, rend me asunder
Drag me down there by my hand or hair
Tell me that I was so brave tonight
Drag me down there by my hand or hair
Drag me under, rend me asunder
Drag me down there by my hand or hair
Tell me that I was so brave tonight

I'm Afraid of You
03:48

Draw me down, and I won't scream
It's calm and dark, so serene
I need something, it's not clear
I need something not found here
I'll take anything I can
I'll take anything I can
I'll take anything I can
But this
I'm afraid of, I'm afraid
I'm afraid of you
I'm afraid of, I'm afraid
I'm afraid of you
If I rise, then we'll be
Eye to eye
Bedroom eyes, piercing glare
Grab my wrist, take me upstairs
This old room wrapped in vine
This old hurt lost in time
I'll take anything I can
I'll take anything I can
I'll take anything I can
But this
I'll take anything I can
I'll take anything I can
I'll take anything I can
But this
I'm afraid of, I'm afraid
I'm afraid of you
I'm afraid of, I'm afraid
I'm afraid of you
And if I rise, then I can't
Can't deny

Harbor
03:39

|
I'll be up and alert
I'm waiting for my turn
I remember swimming
Dying to escape my skin
Haven't they spent enough to kill that apart of you
That still remembers swimming in the harbor
They're still swimming on
Don't even bother
I'll be up before dawn
Before their spying eyes
I'll be gone, I'll be gone
Haven't they spent enough to kill that apart of you
That still remembers swimming in the harbor
They're still swimming on

Slipping Away
02:51
|

|
Once more I seek, when I find
that day has not come today
I will not dream about that time,
but when it comes I won't complain
We link our legs, you radiate
I feel myself slipping away
Crack at the seams, what did I find
I'm stuck alone in my ways
I just might dream about a different time
but we're frozen here for all our days
We'll link our legs, you'll radiate
I feel myself slipping away
Come in close and lie right here
And run your fingers through my hair
I'll tear the stars from the sky
Every time I close my eyes
I feel myself, I feel myself
Slipping away, slipping away

Immolate My Heart
02:40

Put that hand away, before I break it off
Don't want you catching fire
Don't want you reduced to ash
It is my time to fry, and it won't be the last
Immolate my heart
Erase my brain
Immolate my heart
Erase everything
Put that hand away, before I break it off
Don't want you catching fire
Don't want you reduced to ash
It is my time to fry, and it won't be the last
Don't want you catching fire
Don't want you reduced to ash
It is my time to fry, and it won't be the last
Immolate my heart
Erase my brain
Immolate my heart
Erase everything
Immolate my heart
Immolate my heart
Immolate my heart
Immolate my heart

Paradise
05:04

Omission is not a lie
When nothing stirs you inside
Ears bleeding in silence
The ancient tongue is once removed
Cold blood starts coursing through
Ears bleeding in silence
Wouldn't call it heaven, wouldn't say I'm free
Don't call it paradise, don't call it anything
Wouldn't call it heaven, wouldn't say I'm free
Don't call it paradise, don't call it anything
Precise words alight on me
No mistaking what they mean
These thin walls can't conceal...
See the boxes, see the truck
Try to be sly without much luck
These thin walls can't conceal...
Wouldn't call it heaven, wouldn't say I'm free
Don't call it paradise, don't call it anything
Wouldn't call it heaven, wouldn't say I'm free
Don't call it paradise, don't call it anything
Wouldn't call it heaven, wouldn't say I'm free
Don't call it paradise, don't call it anything
Wouldn't call it heaven, wouldn't say I'm free
Don't call it paradise, don't call it anything
Don't call it paradise
Don't call it paradise
Don't call it paradise
Don't call it paradise

We'll match our eyes, we'll point and laugh
Exchange some words, exchange some jabs
Get that shit out of your mouth
That doesn't play here
Gonna make you apologize
One way or another
This hill—my tomb
This hill—my tomb
And I like your shirt, I don't like you
I'm in the right, I always am
I know you lurk, know where you've been
Get the glass out of my hair
Just put me back in
Gonna come out swingin'
again and again and again and again
This hill—my tomb
This hill—my tomb
And I like your shirt, I don't like you
This hill—my tomb
This hill—my tomb
And I like your shirt, I don't like you

New Year's Eve
02:59

Waiting for the countdown
Praying for a shift
Huddled under blankets
Waiting for what's next...
Waiting for the countdown
Praying for a shift
Huddled under blankets
Waiting for what's next
Things won't get better
It's just New Year's Eve
Midnight will come here
Midnight will leave
New day, same as the last one
New day, same as the last
Is this plan then,
to admit defeat?
Why did you come here
Why don't you stop dragging me
New day, same as the last one
New day, same as the last
New day, same as the last one
New day, same as the last
Same as the last
Same as the last
Same as the last

Edges have dulled
Light grows more dim
I know, I know
Speech got stilted
Passions stretched thin
I know, I know
Grasping at phantoms
Starved for affection
Guessing, Guessing
Suggesting what's next
This is the last song I will ever write
This will not last long when I cut the ties
Sever the lines no, accept the lonely nights
This is the last song I will ever write
Silence as words
Quiet discourse
I know, I know
Eyes to the door
Eyes to eye lids
I know, I know
Grasping at phantoms
Starved for affection
Wishing, hoping
For courage to scream
This is the last song I will ever write
This will not last long when I cut the ties

Bearing a Torch
03:30

Now I'm revived out of the dark
Don't shine a light, don't leave a mark
Whites of our eyes, blood-shot and sore
Strangers will come right through the door
We will rush out through the back
Buy some time, cover our tracks
Bear a torch, the time is nigh
Don't leave me without the light
Bear a torch, the time is nigh
Don't leave me without the light
Correlating signs, corresponding notes
Leyline guides, they should know
Darkness cleaves, cuts through the light
No time to breathe, just stay alive
We will rush out through the back
Buy some time cover our tracks
Bear a torch, the time is nigh
Don't leave me without the light
Bear a torch, the time is nigh
Don't leave me without the light

I honestly couldn't tell you the first thing about jazz fusion, but I can tell you that ZAKU is awesome! This EP demands your attention right away, and holds it in a way that instrumental music can sometimes struggle to. Every musician in the band is clearly very talented. Without feeling repetitive, the EP still manages to be plenty memorable. Could I run ten miles nonstop? Heck no. Could I while listening to ZAKU? I think maybe I could.. Also, the album art is incredible. Rad stuff all around!
