The Art of Deception

by Toxcow

/
  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Our first album in a decade.

    Here is the result of TOXCOW reunification in 2017 and of years of influences and evolutions through different bands everyone has been playing with during this long break we did in 2007.

    It's all about personal feelings and about perception of the world surrounding us.

    We hope you'll enjoy "The Art of Deception" !

Modern Lives 01:53
MODERN LIVES Introspect Stop for a while Take a deep breath Enjoy the silence Stay focused Looking back Where do we go? The truth is we don’t care about what really matters Refuse to be a slave Refuse to alienate We need to relearn How to be happy with simple things Contemplate Be humble and share We own the most valuable legacy The only place where we can breathe No one should ever forget See it’s not ok... How did the most useless things become critical? Something’s wrong Another trend Another frame Prisoners and chained On our own volition

FLY OVER THE CLOUDS We are chasing our dreams We’re running inside our heads Continuous race against time Mad men blow up here and there Violence lies anywhere There is so-called human kind And what if we stopped watching this empty TV? What if we could laugh at everything again? World of greed The more I see, the more I can’t stand Million starving children You’ve got thousands followers Born into such a lovely place The promised land Seems that we’re about to win the final race Take my hand And let’s fly over the clouds The sun always shines up there As we’re stuck down there, hell yeah Religions still foster hate Last crusade’s not over yet Hey God, you doin’ fine? Yeah man, trying not to cry Self-centered, inquisitor, backbiting, sectarian Looking for some uniqueness What if we started believing what we can see? What if flat earth’s society never existed? World of speed The more I breathe, the more I suffocate Can we achieve happiness when ignorance is bliss? Born into such a lovely place We didn’t expect such crazyness It’s my job to keep you safe Hold onto me Let’s fly over the clouds Where the sun always shines We are stuck down there I won’t leave you As long as we stay together We’ll be one
3.
THE BIGGEST WASTE I’ll tell a story so come and sit by my side Open your ears wide It’s a faded memory A discarded dream We destroyed everything Play making mistakes Oh, never mind who’s coming next I remember all the pictures and colors I stole with my eyes It painted my soul T’was the greatest masterpiece My apologies As we took everything We made mistakes And you have to pay them back then You’re the new seeds I hope you won’t screw it up once again

1994 03:05
1994 7 seconds to put some adhesive on my headphones bracket Rhomb’s friends all meet to celebrate another green day What a useless idea, I won’t waste such a sublime day Let’s go to Craig’s brother’s place instead And play some old-school Ataris games Here comes Randy sayin’ let’s get some cramps Skating on that ramp Do some melancholy in What an undeclinable ambuscade My slick shoes and I will be mocked by the satanic surfers crew For sure when I will get strung out onto the floor Better go to the seashore where the beach boys Use to blink at girls ‘cuz ya know that “chicks dig it!” Nada surf this time, I don’t have greedy guts enough to ride Here comes Joey sayin’ Let’s wear some bigwigs and high hats at the party tonight Within the lagwagon van there’s no way to be down Screaming pulleys in the night, no effects style Let’s be hi-standard once in our lifetime We’re the kids We’re the class of 1994 Here to have some fun We are the descendents We are the offsprings We’re the class of ‘94

Chill Down 01:45
CHILL DOWN Tearing off the bitumen, a screaming engine He won’t be late for the week-end The fever rises, a big rush of adrenaline He feels the urge and disconnects his brain Full power acceleration You feel so strong but you’re not alone Please consider you’re just a stupid prick A king with no crown, a criminal clown I say chill down fuckin’ scatterbrained redneck At the office she’s always growling around Even in public she’s not ashamed Pissing everybody off, her frustration drips She gets furious for nothing and she bleats Shut your mouth, enough bullshit You may feel angry but you’re not alone Please consider you’re just a crazy freak You’re so disrespectful, such a hypocrite I say chill down you fuckin’ lunatic

Deep Space 02:13
DEEP SPACE I wanna feel better right now I wanna sail on a quiet sea night ship Everything around me is so stirred Sometimes I need your concern But I can see there is no connection An illusion It’s only isolation Emotions mess into a maze of questions Raise your head and say hello to deep space Am I losing faith ? A satellite I was told that friends don’t disappear Moving away, swept aside in oblivion I wanna feel guilty but I don’t I wanna feel sorry and crawl back to you but I won’t The same record is playing the same song And I tried to get concerned But there is no connection in return Whatever I sing I know the phone won’t ring Comets come back Maybe you’ll do so one night

MY WORST FRIEND Sixteen years back in time When I had that big crush on you I became a voodoo doll ‘Cuz you cast a spell on me Bewitched when my eyes Saw your heady grim dancing curves I’m trapped, wrapped within your perfumes A slave swallowing your gray lies Since you have entered my life I just can’t stand alone Since you have entered my mind I love you as much as I hate you This relationship isn’t leading us anywhere Never tried to break it up, I swear Still I know I should Need you, want you every night Can’t drink a single coffee without you Summer Is the hardest time But I’d love to spend my life with you Since you have entered my life I just can’t stand alone Since you have entered my mind I love you as much as I hate you You’re my worst friend Must stop this allegiance But later on Since you’re destroying my body, my lungs and my fucking life Don’t know how we’d avoid strife I will let you down someday And put you in a bin
8.
Father & Son 02:05
FATHER & SON Sometimes you’re so far away Without putting any distance I know this is not your fault Differences of perception Frustration changes into isolation I think about it everyday, anyway Everytime you darken your lovely eyes When you lock yourself in your mind It’s a suffering to watch you go away As this damn wall’s rising between us As I’m losing you again My mistakes can’t be erased But my love is unconditional I wanna help you translate this world Now I see the irony Empathy’s the answer to rejection I think about it everyday, anyway Everytime you darken your lovely eyes When you lock yourself in your mind It’s a relief to hold you in my arms As this damn wall’s breaking between us As father and son again

CLOSE THE BOX Someone please turn the lights on And help me getting out of this nightmare I feel like it is gaining ground I cannot stand to hear all the shit that you say Flat earth, no moon landing Same old story Ignorance trumping science Revisionist apostles Pandemic impostors Pick up any fake news pretending it’s the truth Now close the box Get out of my way Close the box You are a fucking disease Knowledge’s often been crushed down Fear spread by the obscurantist nights Killing trees and shutting lights Devotion and faith set fire to stakes Preach, lie, frighten people Same old story Ignorance trumping science Revisionist apostles Pandemic impostors Pick up any fake news pretending it’s the truth Now close the box Get out of my way Close the box You are a fucking disgrace
