Circa Survive - Sharp Practice Lyrics






Tripping over things unsaid in a constant motion
I cannot recognize the truth ‘cause it’s unfamiliar
If you didn’t have so much left to prove, would there be resistance?

Kicking up this cloud of dust till it covers us
I had been there and done it a thousand times but never with my eyes open

You get what you paid for
We can’t sell our Goddamn souls anymore, anymore
Don’t let them give you the runaround again, again
It’s up to you to make sense of it. Yeah. Talk

No one hesitates to taste when they come and throw the feet down
If you wanna make haste, keep your feet on the ground
I see you coming from a million miles away like a stampede of footsteps

Kicking up this cloud of dust till it covers us
You can’t control what's happen to your heart
till you give it away - till you give it away

You get what you paid for
We can’t sell our Goddamn souls anymore, anymore
Don’t let them give you the runaround again, again
It’s up to you to make sense of it

So many words flooded in my vacant lie
So little space, too little sleep, too little time

Tripping over things unsaid in a constant motion
I cannot recognize the truth ‘cause I’ve never known it
I’ve never known it - I’ve never known it - known

You get what you paid for
We can’t sell our Goddamn souls anymore, anymore
Don’t let them give you the runaround again, again
It’s up to you to make sense of it

I see you coming from a million miles away
I see you coming from a million miles away

  20. L.... R....

    how in the hell do you make this video chris walldorf & adam stone?

  21. J.... A....

    We need the tattoo shop version to be made public again.

    J.... A....

    Yes! I've been looking for that video again forever. I luckily have the audio downloaded but I'd love to watch the video again.

    J.... A....

    +Destiny Victoria ): I don't know why it's gone I used to watch it every week lol. also the professionally live version of child of the desert! not the music video the live session with perfect audio. he sounded amazing!

    J.... A....

    J.... A....

    THERE'S A VERSION OF THAT OF CHILD OF THE DESERT???????????????????

  22. A.... R....

    Man, violent waves doesn't get enough credit for how fucking amazing it is. It's like the bridging point from where they where (musical geniuses), to the musical gods they are now.

  23. A.... W....

    Where has this band been my entire life, I just want to throw house parties with their music their music all night long

    A.... W....

    They've been around since 2006 welcome to the party!

    A.... W....

    I actually used to jam to circa before I could drive. Lol they took me so many places in my mind. I did have parties playing their stuff everyone would say " Tiff,this is trippy :)" then everyone in my town started having to go to their concerts. Go see them LIVE... That's where the party is at.

    A.... W....

    @Tiffany Evans yea I saw Anthony green and circa live

    A.... W....

    Mooooood

  24. C.... M....

    anyone that hates on ANYTHING circa and anthony does is dumb. everything they make is genius!

    C.... M....

    +Chad Miller Even AG's Jeer At Rome, And High And Driving is the shit...

    C.... M....

    "People who have a different opinion/taste than me are dumb"

    C.... M....

    Andrei Deaconu honestly dude. This Chad needs to chill

    C.... M....

    Not as dumb as your comment, idiot.

  25. C.... ....

    Dang, I didn't notice the freemasonry symbol last time. I now know a lot more about what this song means.

    C.... ....

    +Christo please tell me

  26. a.... ....

    de las mejores bandas que puede existir en estos días!

  27. A.... O....

    So pumped to finally see my favorite band live after like 3 years <3

  28. m.... ....

    My friends are going to their concert in Indy today.
    Didn't know who they were at first, so I gave them a shot and listened to a song. Its not my taste for music but they're pretty damn good.

  29. K.... ....

    I can't wait to see these guys in concert later this month!!!

  30. J.... K....

    @crystalheart i know!! Everything is becoming trash

  31. N.... P....

    This is the first time I listen to them and... I think I'm in love <3

  32. w.... ....

  33. A.... M....

    this band managed to combine all the reasons i love them in one song

  34. d.... ....

    RGBD for the win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  35. t.... ....

    Ah, the metaphor mind fucking lyrics of Anthony green. Lol

  36. J.... M....

    we can´t sell our GOD DAMN SOULS ANYMOOOOOOOOOOORE!!!

    J.... M....

    true to that, i  have escaped from the s called pop(madness) music, and the hip(twerking)hop.

    J.... M....

    @MultiMsa1 Same! My god yes same.

    J.... M....

    We need that goose meme

  37. v.... v....

    you are very cool i realy like you guys though my indonesian people but i realy like you works

  38. i.... ....

    Don't let them give you the runnnnaarrrrouuuunnnndddd. . .

  39. C.... D....

    Deftones/Foo Fighters mix it makes me think. Sounds real sick and it is unique.

  40. p.... ....

    yeah whats up with the masonic symbols?

    p.... ....

    Sharp practice means sneaky and cunning behavior that is manipualtive but is technically legal. Perhaps they were going with a slight political edge on this song like they were on "Birth of the economic hitman"

    p.... ....

    @ThrashAh0lic Thank you.

  41. C.... ....

    i cant believe they sold there soul and ive never seen the video until now and all the masonic signs and little symbols suprised me i never thought they would

    C.... ....

    Well does he not say in the chorus "we can't sell our godamn souls anymore"

    C.... ....

    Meaning he did once and they can't anymore, they gave all they have

    C.... ....

    Carina that's completely ridiculous. I've met all the dudes in Circa numerous times and they are anything but sell outs.

  42. s.... j....

    i cant believe eminem took reference of this video for rapgod!!! this proves that he is not only listens to rap but also genres.  he is indeed a rap god

  43. R.... -....

    mate... for real... EVERY song of Circa Survive are... simply... THE SONGS <3

  44. M.... M....

    HAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA. listen to ALL of it.

  45. T.... G....

    PLEASE just keep making more music!

  46. G.... ....

    This song is so brutally soft and heavy. blowing my mind.

  47. L.... A....

    i glady think my friend for telling me about Circa Survive 3 thanks Jose c':

    L.... A....

    I also knew a Jose who showed me Circa a long time ago, could it be the same one...

  48. h.... ....

    This reminds me a lot of a tech demo with the Kinect.

  49. D.... S....

    If this band ever breaks up or stops making music i will die inside...

  50. H.... W....

    can I download it ?

  51. m.... W....

    Love the trippy music video

  52. 0.... ....

    I am thoroughly tripped out by this video. Great band.

  53. x.... _....

    y no 1 make lyrics for the song T__T

  54. x.... _....

    i first saw this song at a emo store

  55. Z.... G....

    The reason I ask is because they showed a crowd in part of the video and I think I remember a show I was at where there was a guy on the stage filming the crowd with a special camera. I can't remember if they said it was for a video or not.

  56. N.... ....

    This is just a music video.

  57. H.... ....

    See you at Uproar in Scranton Pa!

  58. B.... C....

    This concept has been used a lot recently in music videos. I love theirs the best.

  59. S.... ....

    this video looks cool as sheit. O.O

  60. S.... ....

    this video looks cool as sheit. O.O

  61. Z.... G....

    Does anyone know what show this is from?

  62. Q.... ....

    I liked the live acoustic version better

  63. �.... ....

    .reminds me so much of that linkin park video...exept i like this one a whole lot more)))

  64. i.... ....

    Would have been fun to make

  65. S.... H....

    golf clap.....

  66. D.... P....

    You mean Dire Straits I guess

  67. P.... ....

    been one of my favorite bands since the 6th grade..happy they still make wonderful music!!!

  68. S.... H....

    This is like the 21st century's version of that dyer straights video "money for nothing"

  69. i.... ....

    37 people love justin bieber and 1 erection .. i ment direction

  70. A.... R....

    This video reminds me a lot to Linkin Park's Waiting For The End video.

  71. m.... ....

    check out A Lot Like Birds, Dance Gavin Dance, The Speed Of Sound In Seawater, Coheed and Cambria, Hail The Sun.

  72. F.... ....

    I think it was more of some Sharp Practice

  73. V.... A....

    am i the only one who noticed that all of the songs of circa survive on youtube has no dislikes? :DD

  74. J.... C....

    Seeing them in honolulu tonight so fucking stoked for this!

  75. a.... ....

    the whole chorus is basically that lol. "we can't sell our goddamn souls anymore..don't let them give you the run around..." This is for real an amazing song/cd..but I love all Circa.

  76. V.... H....

    I wanna discover more bands that sound similar to Circa, anybody know what bands sound similar to Circa.

  77. M.... C....

    they talked about it in a recent interview

  78. n.... ....

    they said it in an interview they posted on facebook

  79. M.... ....

    really? how do u know that?

  80. M.... ....

    not if he loves his profession.

  81. n.... ....

    they used xbox kinect with a video camera right next to it at concerts

  82. n.... ....

    WHY DOES THIS HAVE SO LITTLE VIEWS... seriously blows my mind

  83. K.... L....

    They played the beginning of this song on those video things in journey's I kept wishing it would play the whole thing! I can't explain how much I love these guys. They're so amazing.:D

  84. F.... G....

    Actually Equal Vision (Their label) was pretty cool with all of this and even did some original promotion for the new album and calling them big seems kinda misleading considering the popularity of the bands they manage

  85. A.... P....

    They did this video with Windows OS.

  86. P.... L....

    I like the part wehre they come out of the TV.

  87. R.... R....

    I'm thinking it was done in After Effects. Probably a b*tch to render.

  88. Q.... ....

    I was thinking the same thing?

  89. J.... ....

    Check out the band "Audiobakery" if you're in the mood to discover some new music!

  90. C.... ....

    I agree it was.

  91. s.... ....

    They were fucking incredible dude. it was a 13 hour show. but well worth the wait.

  92. O.... ....

    I want to go see them at the fillmore but idk if I have enough gas to do it I will be seeing them at the Lincoln theater I wis hI could go to both, but I can't complain I will finally get to see them live :))))) I am so excited I will be the happiest person in the world just like the crowd lol.

  93. M.... ....

    Epic Video

  94. O.... ....

    It's like the violent waves version of get out off of blue sky noise. They're not the same at all, just a similar vibe.

  95. M.... B....

    great video once again by Circa Survive!

  96. J.... F....

    watch?v=i2nREBAp75k <----if youre bored.

  97. s.... ....
