Stories from the World Before

by Chemical Waves

What did you breathe in? They’re luring you in It’s so tempting To kiss the ring Play along Like we all do A trophy wall In a room with a view Overstimulation keeps the fear remote Till no amount of medication can keep you afloat Living in need Living in greed A wretched breed We’re bad weeds They lure you in To kiss the ring
2.
Impatient time a hungry night the scent of blood a taste of her mouth naked, shaken, and she’s my favourite prize Incandescent and ravenous voracious night delicious smell her soothing voice The reach of desire Enchanted by her magical smell Incandescent and ravenous and then she comes, closer, closer, closer…. My queen and muse i always want Her alchemy our endless promise she comes, closer… she comes, closer… closer, closer, closer, she comes closer, …. (naked, shaken) she’s my favourite one, she’s my favourite prize

I remembered you like old time cold times Lost wavelengths and leather strips Both caught up in unlimited weakness Sideways casting a submissive wish Charlotte sometimes I have a confession to make There's a demon in me There's a demon in me There's a demon in me And it wants you I felt you from inside my nitemares Across the waters across the waves Both drowning in a show of indifference Spiteful sinking into green abyss Charlotte sometimes I have a confession to make I can't wait I can't wait Charlotte sometimes I have a confession to make There's a demon in me There's a demon in you There's a demon in me There's a demon in you There's a demon in me There's a demon in you There's a demon in me There's a demon in you There's a demon in me There's a demon in you There's a demon in me When you let me in you

Here we stand alone The pictures move so slow In my head, all the thoughts are broken. Follow the voices Come into my heart See everything I see Feel this cold, all around me Follow the voices (across these wounds) (it falls apart again) Across these wounds It falls apart again Change the words, then kneel, in prayer again Follow the voices (come into my world) (see the darkness I see) (The kneel in prayer again)
6.
Disabled by the time Way too long Decide A liar by you side It’s so wrong Soon enough I will be gone Out of the way Untied Bleeding right in front of my eyes Alibi Confession is the crime Sensation endless Faking all the time Duration specified Bleeding right in front of my eyes

Sixty seconds is what it takes Shallow people like you to make Statements at the drop of a hat But sixty words were only what you had Is it laughable or is it sad? Your truth is the one of a twat You don't need to shine now A sun is up there to beautify You just want to bow now Before the One who reached the sky Sixty teardrops and not one more You truly dug in the depth of your core Now sing your part in the choir of the wail Sixty teardrops, I must confess, Is a cheap amount to utter your distress Nobody's fooled by your mourning veil You don't need to shine now A sun is up there to beautify You just want to bow now Before the One who reached the sky You don't need to shine now (A spirit's rising) A sun is up there to beautify (A spirit's rising) You just want to bow now (A spirit's rising) Before the One who reached the sky

Rangers on the road breaking all alone the rains have gone grey from the pressures of the human spray Lazy an hour ago trash is falling on your door Can't you hear the crying dove tears with dust in the shore It’s all around the word trash is falling on your head beaming all the lies are you waiting for your dead? in the round the world don’t be pulling away my sun i was raised outside the doors i could breath Human love Rangers on the road breaking all alone the rains have gone grey from the pressures of the human spray If the days have gone wrong Can’t you hear the crying dove i must say is hard to stay follow the law without faith Rangers on the road breaking all alone the rains have gone grey from the pressures of the human spray Lazy an hour ago trash is falling on your door Can’t you hear the crying dove tears of dust in the shore In the round the world don’t be pulling away my sun I was raised outside the doors i could breath Human love Rangers on the road breaking all alone The rains have gone grey from the pressures of the human spray

Can I see another's woe, And not be in sorrow too? Can I see another's grief, And not seek for kind relief? Can I see a falling tear, And not feel my sorrow's share? Can a father see his child Weep, nor be with sorrow filled? Can a mother sit and hear An infant groan, an infant fear? No, no! never can it be! Never, never can it be! And can He who smiles on all Hear the wren with sorrows small, Hear the small bird's grief and care, Hear the woes that infants bear -- And not sit beside the next, Pouring pity in their breast, And not sit the cradle near, Weeping tear on infant's tear? And not sit both night and day, Wiping all our tears away? Oh no! never can it be! Never, never can it be! He doth give his joy to all: He becomes an infant small, He becomes a man of woe, He doth feel the sorrow too. Think not thou canst sigh a sigh, And thy Maker is not by: Think not thou canst weep a tear, And thy Maker is not near. Oh He gives to us his joy, That our grief He may destroy: Till our grief is fled an gone He doth sit by us and moan.

Making my decision waited far too long making my decision I will die alone to die alone making my decision I wont longer stay A decision darkness leads my way my way Making my decision waited far too long making my decision I will die alone to die alone Shielding my eyes I was unaware Shielding my eyes of my dreadful fear fear Thoughts of desperation- thoughts of my darkest side Overwhelmed by sorrows - toxicity in the darkest night I ve absorbed your energies - far too long Banished from Heaven - down where I belong I hear you voice I will let go
11.
Standing in a field of static Sometimes I can't control my sadness Hurtful words are lasting Sometimes I can't pretend to imagine And why should I Something's everlasting When you laugh When you're caught Brings me back to the start And all so entertaining When you sing Straight from the heart It is my fault, that, Something is everlasting When you laugh When you're caught Brings me back to the start Standing in a field of static Sometimes I can't control my sadness And why should I Dream to dream, it is all I know Casting out waves of doubt So close now but it is all the same Dream to dream, it is all I know

about

CHEMICAL WAVES – STORIES FROM THE WORLD BEFORE:
In our world there is a before and after everything that marks a clear boundary between what we were before and what we are now. How were we before? How are we today? Written shortly after the latest releases and composed in part during the recent period of isolation, this album is a collection of stories and emotions from the days when the world faced what would be its next dark fate. As an omen, twelve incredible new songs unfold that drag the listener on a fascinating, dark and unpredictable journey. A fragment of the world from before where the suffering, the inner ghosts and fears of each of the performers tear their bowels and reveal themselves without filters, song after song, placing their anxieties on carefully constructed notes.
A complete work to be listened to at a fast pace from start to finish, with bated breath: a perfect story, which shows us that human frailty that will be swallowed up by fear and by the events of today's new world. At the end of the journey we will ask ourselves: are we so different from before? After the acclaimed albums "Even When We Fall Apart" and "Lasting Forever", Chemical Waves arrives with a surprising and exciting new album with many international guests.
