there it is
that whirlwind gone by
a piece of me follows and dies
there it is
shiny fork in the road
it taunts and teases me, "don't move"
overcooked the idea, now it's black
overstayed my welcome, now it's gone
what is it that's under my control?
only what a shaky grip can hold
don't move

DizZzy
03:16
|
|||
built myself a nest so deep
now i’m picking it apart
navigating empty streets
now i’m turning back around
the dizzy little lie that’s passing through
it stains my cotton skin a shade of blue
i'm dizzy
yeah, i'm dizzy
feelin’ dizzy just for you

Easy Come, Easy Go...
02:06
|
|||
everything around me, bouncing all around
lost my head in dreams, they never land
everyone is fresh and new, but me
say a word, that's what i'm supposed to be
where can i go to get away?
where do i go to get away now?
easy come, easy go
where did you go?
easy come
it's time to go

i looked past the smoke
and i found all your mirrors there
can you find a new way with me?
i burned all the trees down
now i'll get used to all this sun
won't you start the new day with me?
close my eyes for tomorrow
closed my eyes just to close them
knocking at the door again
what's it like there, tomorrow?
how's it going there, tomorrow?
what's it like over there, tomorrow?
is this a start?
or just another celebration?
looping on the same track
waiting for a new mutation
waiting for a new mutation
waiting on the next mutation
knocking at the door again
what's it like there, tomorrow?
how's it going there, tomorrow?
what's it like over there, tomorrow?

Here on the Moon
02:49
|
|||
found a breath the other day
one right next to mine
i stole it from the train
was mine for good
but now...
the grass grows into the ground
shields its quiet eyes from me
i've landed on the moon
had a thought the other day
one that kept me warm
i walked it to the train
it's gone for good
believe me when i say
i'll never be the same

Crowded
02:21
|
|||
where'd they get all those ideas from?
they're cheating
where'd all these people show up from?
(i’ve)been sleeping
there’s a crowd
so loud
and when i’m close
i can’t figure it out...
what’s missing here

Wormy, Old Me
01:21
|
|||
sand paper people
hurts when i touch
letting me down
when i don’t ask for much
wormy old me
don’t get too close
letting me down
when i need it the most
wormy old me

What My Atoms Will Allow
02:59
|
|||
"what are we?", you ask
floating through the emptiness with you
we're one with all the stars
our atoms side by side
what is it you want?
born inside a thought within your mind
i shake so you will notice
my atoms so confined
i can only give you what my atoms will allow

Placeholder
01:06
|
|||
when you've got nothing
you've got me
cuz that's at least something
you’ll find a person
with something you value
(it’s not me)
|
||||
11. |
||||
i'm running for the hills
wherever they may be
and i'm shaking from the lightning
striking down on me
there's a part of us that's dying
there's a part of us that's dying/crying
no more, we'll be
but there's part of us so distant
there's part of us so distant
that we want to be

Two Kinds of People
02:53
|
|||
there are two kinds of people
there's me, then there's you
i drown in the river
you build a canoe
there are two kinds of people
there's you, then there's me
you walk through the door
i fumble with keys
you do what you do
i'll do what i can

Feeling Funny, Kind Of
02:57
|
|||
wobbly arms caught something
little something i’ve been wanting
(something i never wanted)
feeling kind of funny
these runny cartoon edges
and surely something's coming
feeling kind of worried
those greasy paws on you
but surely something's sticking

Of All the Eyes
02:54
|
|||
unrefined
it's time i
realize
what's mine
of all the eyes
to try
got yours, yours
got yours, yours
i got
i got yours
big surprise
you didn't fit my
new disguise
improvise
and all the guys
you try
they're yours, yours
they're yours, yours
you’ve got
you’ve got yours

Who Speaks to You?
04:57
|
|||
is this real?
then why does it feel so strange?
'feeling good' on our minds
crushed together so tight
the soothing but toxic fumes
demanding they be consumed
it's what makes us feel real
it's what makes me feel real
who speaks to you you in the night?
who speaks to you when you sleep?
who speaks to you when you're dead?
who speaks to you when you're gone?
