One hundred faces
Carved and painted
In the totem pole of fear that you want totally beheaded
We're leveling the structure that's blocking what is true
Breaking false reality based on distorted view
And though you'll never know
You can let your demons go
It's up to you
One hundred stories
One hundred ways
To knock down and reconstruct the skyscraper of your dismay
We're leveling the structure that's blocking what is true
Breaking false reality based on distorted view
And though you'll never know
Just let your demons go
Something only you can do
We're leveling the structure that's blocking what is true
Breaking false reality based on distorted view
And though you'll never know
You just let your demons go
Hats off to you
Hats off to you
Hats off to you
Hats off to you
Around the concrete block
I walk and walk and try to find an opening
Outside the concrete block
I knock and knock and wait for you to let me in
But you don't hear it, baby, and you won't come out on your own
And you will never leave here where the walls are made of stone
And there's no door that opens, and there's no bell to let you know
There's someone out here who's about to just give up and go
Outside the concrete block
I watch the clock and see the hours turning into days
The door is always locked
And would we both be shocked to find out what the other has to say
Around the concrete block
We do not talk and words that are unspoken lead to trouble
Outside the concrete block I chisel at the rock
And hope it will be broken down to rubble
I am abandoned
I am ignored
There is no reaction to my word
I am injured
I am cut
This door I held open for you will now shut
I don't fit in this puzzle
But no one puts me back in my place
I remain alone on the table
There's no interest
There's no response
I don't know if you even got it or not
There's nothing asked
There's nothing told
These arms I've opened up for you will now fold
The pieces fit together and everything is fine
There must be one small corner that I can call mine
But the picture gets distorted every single time
Where's the space in the shape of the place where I am?
I don't fit in this puzzle
But no one puts me back in my place
I remain alone on the table
I am forsaken
You're so withdrawn
And without warning you are totally gone
There's no goodbyes
There's no hellos
My world I opened up to you is now closed
I saw it hanging on the rack
I had to have it
And feel it there against my back
Become my habit
To complete me
And keep me warm
Never leave me
Wanted to try it on and get inside it
It was the only one of its kind
Nothing else like it
It got inside my head
Too late
Unopen
Maybe tomorrow
Here's hoping
So the next day I went back again
Hours before its closing
Thinking it would still be there
Waiting to be chosen
To complete me
And keep me warm
Never leave me
I was excited
Couldn't wait to buy it
Somebody stole it
Before I had a chance to hold it
But it's still inside my head
Too late
It's gone
You waited
Too long
Too late
It's taken
You waited too long
Now you can't stop craving
There once was a tree from which I would swing
Sunshine on the branches where birds would sing
It grew so high and the roots went deep
But it fell down one night when I was asleep
There was a day when you could ask where my home was
And I'd show you the way
There was a time when I could let you into my life
And show you what was mine
The place that I now call home is a garden where I only grow
Old and more alone
There once was a rock on which I would climb
I could hide behind it at any time
It would always be there
In this I would trust
But I came home one day and it had turned to dust
There was a night when you could question me
And have faith that the answer was right.
There was an age when I wasn't afraid of the next chapter
And could just turn the page.
Now I tear it from the binding
Never scared of ever finding
What lies at the end
There once was a boy who opened his eyes
He looked around and realized
That everything in his garden had died
He couldn't hang himself or even hide
It's just sticks and stones and lies
It's just sticks and stones and lies
I see faces in the floor
I can hear their distant calls
Think there's a demon at my door
And something running down the walls
And there's a sense I can't ignore
Like someone else is roaming in the hall
They want to get into my core
And overtake me so I end it all
Presents in your house
You've got to get them out
If they infect, there is no pill to cure the ill
Will
Something floats across the room
In the corner of my eye
I'm not the only one that looms
Here where I stay warm and dry
And though I sense impending doom
I don't become afraid or cry
This place is actually a tomb
For I know I've already died
Motives of this entity
You can't explain
There's only one way you know
To end the pain
Danish is God: A hard edged band that plays mostly original music, residing in Virginia Beach, and employing elements of stoner rock, metal, jazz, funk, ambient and other genres. Comprised of members Brian Meade (guitar, vocals), Nicholas Greene (bass) and James Cherry Jr. (drums), D.I.G. came to fruition in August of 2011 as a stoner rock/metal project. While holding on to the harder edge traits of their inception, the band has evolved to also incorporate some of the more melodic elements found in rock and pop music into their sound, as well as some improvisational jazz and ambient jams.
