lyrics

And when they leave there’s a void they leave open
And then they leave, leaving troubles behind
To rip apart any hope that you give in
This is the end of the line

Just in: unassociate
Do it surgically
Just in: let them fall again
And then this time they stay

When the story ends I’ll be far away
Just a final word they can’t make me stay
With the build of wind I’ll be out to sea
You can close your eyes and I’ll fall asleep

Criminals, cannibals and animals
Are all that the world is made of
Criminal, cannibals, and animals
Will fuck all your shit up

Criminals, cannibals and animals
Are all that the world is made of
Criminal, cannibals, and animals
Will fuck all your shit up

They take up every minute
You feel every move
Too late to be familiar again
Remembering was your life

Criminals, cannibals, and animals
Criminals, cannibals, and animals

Criminals and cannibals you wish
I love you so
But when my time is up
You will live
Away from all of this spite
They can’t recognize


And you can feel the whole range of emotion
And the familiar panic attack
And you can feel the whole rage running through you
And then the scene turning black

Just in: rip out everything
Can you do it again
Just in: system failure
Feel the darkness come in

And the wind just died but then so did we
And you close your eyes waiting eagerly

Criminals, cannibals and animals
Are all that the world is made of
Criminal, cannibals, and animals
Will fuck all your shit up

They take up every minute
You feel every move
They make us be familiar again
Remembering was your life

Criminals, cannibals, and animals
Criminals, cannibals, and animals

Criminals and cannibals you wish
I love you so
But when my time is up
You will live
Away from all of this spite
They can’t realize

Try and forget all the
Times you cannot hope to rewind
And all the times they got in to hide behind the
Wondering signs and the hopes you left behind

They take up every minute
You feel every move
They make us be familiar again
Remembering was your life

Criminals, cannibals, and animals
Criminals, cannibals, and animals

Criminals and cannibals you wish
I love you so
But when my time is up
You will live
Away from all of this spite
In a paradise

I will live far beyond
The reach of all of this life

about

Sam Seibert image

Sam Seibert Honolulu, Hawaii

With a voice like a chainsaw, dipped in honey, and set on fire, Sam and his band effortlessly blend lush, quick flowing arrangements of hard-hitting drums, guitars, strings, and winds, with raw, passionate lyrics, soaring melancholic melody lines, and pop sensibility.  He has been compared to bands like Twenty One Pilots, Death, John Lennon, Slayer, and “if The Beatles or Billy Joel was metal.” ... more
