lyrics

we watched him walk in circles and dance to silent music
and dictate every nervous thought into a truth
thrown out like iron netting to a crowd that wasn't listening
but followed faithfully until... well we can't talk about it
oh!

he called upon the west and cautiously looked to the east
and hid his gold in the belly of a curious beast
as soldiers cut their teeth on the dotted line
he planned a perfect detour from the facts
it was enough to fuel us

when we shake the webs from our brains
we pay when we carry a ghost with us

as he begged to the north he knew he was going down
"it's the end of the world" he said, "and you have to drink this"
and as the mic was handed to the most entertaining joker
in the line-up, he just exited the stage

now when we shake the webs from our brains
it's hard to explain the spell of a saint
what's in a name when we kill for its sake
and pay when we carry our ghosts with us?

about

Joseph & The Beasts Baltimore, Maryland

Joseph & The Beasts traffic in counter-rhythms that build from muted valleys to fevered crescendos. Shifts in time give way to sprawling valleys of fuzz-drenched keyboards, before soaring vocals erupt into a fervor-filled maelstrom.
