City Water 04:06
I never drink city water I think there's something that they put in it that makes me feel It makes me feel left out I left the city for another Now I feel loved and loathed at the same time I make my mother so proud You've never lived until you wonder Can I go on this way in the same place? Or should I just stay here, settle down? Just when you get yourself together You feel the pull of gravity What's it that weighs us down? Little holes I see deep inside my head With our hands we choke around our own throats Give it time to last, give it time to pass But I will not stay where there sounds no bleat I have bone to set, I have blood to let May I die in love, Capricorn above I'm alive, I breath When I drink I toast When I curse I say "Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost" Give it time to last, give it time to pass

Burry me up to my neck in bees and dislocate my knees, and tell me you hate me I can use this constructive abuse as foder for the lies I tell to you daily Where did all the love go? Medic for my nose Put whiskey in my blood flow Knowledge you can borrow, and throw away Smother me with poison ivy leaves and sew closed my long sleeves, and tie them behind me I can use this constructive abuse as ornaments of spite I hang up all around you

OK Alright 04:07
Hand was good and yet I folded But if I could, again I'd hold it But second chances aren't something that have come my way Now where I sleep, it don't mean nothing I hung your heart up with a push-pin Now there's a bunch of little holes that I can see right through This feeling's OK and the timing's alright The city's on fire so why don't you just stay here tonight Tightly wound and freshly smarted It's a broken town for the lonely hearted Now there's a face I don't remember cause it's been too long Never have I seen or tasted the kind of fruit that's often wasted How can a heart be all aflutter if it has no wings? Someday we will find out what we're fighting for Someday we will see a sign we can't ignore This feeling's OK and the timing's alright The city's on fire so why don't you just stay here tonight

Amy, I love you I have to sing it out so you know it's true Even if I said I will, you said I do Amy, I love you A cat in every room and a bed for two An apple in your belly and you feel it move I tell it to you soo oooh Amy, I love you We belong together like a tongue and groove Say you love me, say to me that I'm your loon

Envy orphan who's never had a home Winter comes and you're frozen to the bone Turn the lights on in a well design house Found you hanging in your favorite blouse See more clearly when both your eyes are closed Melting motivation always apropos

Chicken Sip 03:31
A wheel too big to steer even for idle hands and pricks in ivory towers with jelly roles and big big plans buy and sell and trade your little life away but you should know by now to win you've got to pay to play Scales are falling down like arrows from your eyes and every time the closing bell is rung an angel cries it's like a silent song, a story left untold the city sold the Brooklyn Bridge to pave the streets with gold They certified their souls so when it's time to die little tiny camel fits right through that needles eye is thing even on? cause I'd just like to know whatever happened to the chicken in each and every pot You hold your head up high but do your business down below You've got my name on file and promise never to let go I know you hate to hear me say I think its time for you to go though you'd best be on your way you really put on quite a show

Doki Doki 03:42
I've never see one like you and a cold wind would blow if you knew Now I've now window seat, but a view you can't beat by mountain, valley, and sea White like the snow at my feet and soft like I new you would be There's an arrow in my chest, and a war in my head in which I was destined to die Turn this plane around, we must fly west and land on an island in the middle of the sea Lest we forget the plans that we've made let us move onward as long as we be I tied you up in my dream and cut you just to watch how you bleed Now if I can't hurt myself might as well hurt someone else a skill I have mastered with ease
8.
We've all felt a little foreign and had our faces filled with tears A peculiar occupation gives you cauliflower ears We would all feel so much better and our minds could be at ease If you murdered your convictions and you found a cure to some mysterious disease Lorena Lorena In the silence that a harbor like a man inside a whale Taking orders from a servant, in the mirror looking pale Sent a foreign delegation to the shores of Lake Sevan Taking comfort knowing nothing but that no one will remember me when I'm gone Lorena Lorena When I'm old and I am dyeing will I have someone to blame? Can we conquer without trying? Is it a lion we can tame? And all the stars will keep on shining, caring not what comes of me And the world will keep on turning, isn't that the way that life's supposed to be?

Missing Link 03:43
Shadowless and blind, the sun could turn into a little piece of dust up in the sky none-the-wiser would you be with one less eye Satellite above, send a signal, now more than ever we all need your broadcast love more than ever we all need your broadcast love la-la-long goodbye la-la-long goodbye until one day you realize to your surprise that when you wine and dine your fertile wives it's nothing more than your desire to fertilize the prize inside your fertile wives Anatomical plaster cast bones talent show failure cries on the phone SM is the missing link Cat Hair in my coffee helps me think Contrition for your crimes, keep a letter of resignation on your body at all times and never make-believe that wrong words rhyme Saddle up and ride, you seem as if you're moved but never really feel anything inside you never really felt that much inside

Mountain Sip 04:45
Navigate our course by star and shadow as heavy in my heart as in my hands this palanquin upon my aching shoulder although I know not who resides within Years have passed as though they are mere seconds we've walked as many leagues as there are trees we came down from the peaks of yonder mountain and what's inside will bring you to your knees Whichever way the water flows we go rise and fall over every tongue we behold whichever way a body folds we know a hidden push and the secret grows like a hole a hole that we know, a hole where we go A long and lonely night has left you searching a tongue has found its way into your ear and like a viper fills your brain with venom and like a God is fills your heart with fear Sun turn into moon day turn into night world turn round too soon dark turns into light
11.
En Pissant 03:44
Tongue and groove, coming and I hear you move a single little mote of dust, oh how you disapprove and even though these eyes are true and even though these lies are blue a memory that's all but lost and gone without a clue In passing I love you In passing I do Once I heard from an unassuming bird come undone one will be unobscured never knowing what to say forgetting each and every day oh how I have become a cliche In passing I love you In passing I do Ghosts of all the reasons that you won't call you like a debt collector on the phone with your eyes closed you precariously walk on a line that breaks your back or brings you home
12.
Tide of elation wax and wane flow like an ocean through my veins call of the ancient roles we play all that we live for from today and these words assemble themselves in my brain and exit the hole in my face but fall to the ground like a stone This world is torn it isn't ordinary this heart is yours this heart is yours it's with us everywhere we go it's with us everywhere we go
13.
If I Could 02:13
I know who you are I know who you talk about but I'll take the blame when the accusers are calling your name If I knew what to say without speaking at all if I could pick myself up without having to fall if I could think with my head instead of my heart then I wouldn't need you
