New Groove 03:56
I want to dance in that cove, In that state, in that constant plain of bliss again And feel the weight of the breeze, of the rain, Of the breathing earth, embrace the dirt Keeps me in the sunlight, Even when the clouds are in the sky I want to live on that cliff in the center of everything and everyone, And touch the waves and the sky and the rocks and your matted hair - please bring me there Keeps me in the sunlight, Even when the clouds are in the sky I want to crawl in that cave, feel the grace of my own brain - a crystal cage And be the god's that we are, feel the time as it truly is, a single blip Keeps me in the sunlight, Even when the clouds are in the sky

Anomie 03:03
Every word I say - pulled out of a hat Oh no, I'm not a stat-ue, Of a girl with a capsule - Made out of concrete and always so sure Purely bred ambiguity - I am without a cure I'd rather fucking starve, Than eat a pair of stones And if I have a legacy its name is confusion Call it confusion, My seed is confusion, Give birth to confusion, Forget it's confusion And walk around in valley, With nauseating flowers and flu-ridden stares -Semi-inbred ambiguity - I am Without a cause Believe me.

When I open up my eyes I am on the other side, Dreaming of a spiralled face eating fish in a panicked state It pulls me down, keeps me away from the sunlight, Crumbles my faith in the moonlight, Presses a thumb in my wounds and falls back down to eat with worms It ate my legs and went down stream, We killed some time and moved further east - Found you can't wander straight lines, Or skip through the evening's fights Addicted to sun, you'll end up where you've begun Spend a day in the sand, crawling through a wasteland Forget who you are, get back to the centre and ride But it ain't all bad, because there's a place, Between extremities - a change in pace You'll get there real soon; that comfortable cocoon Don't tremble too fast, we're all on the same path When I open up my eyes I'm still on the other side, But dreaming of a new found place, swallowing me with its embrace It pulls me in, gives me the air of a new day, Sets things back into their right place, Shows me the ways of the wind and brings me into hollow worlds Spend a day in the sand, crawling through a wasteland Forget who you are, get back to the centre and ride it out

Pull Me Up 03:00
So I'm afraid of anyone else but my self, A walking grave, an emptied mouth filled with shame But underneath - a bargain plea, a melting boy, shattered joy Escaping fate - it's a chore I can't take A constant pain; a shift in thought pulls it away But underneath - a sense of me, a call for love to pull me up
5.
Caveman 02:26
In metaphase, I stand too tall I'm walking through walls, I'm cutting my teeth And my courage is passing like a car on an open street No longer waiting to believe in something that I can't eat I met a guy with hooves for feet, He masturbates to a priest, Is he a man to be? Because his skin is sticking tight to his bones and he's not alone No he's not like me, he doesn't even worry about his plastic home He's a caveman

Art Won't Do 04:21
Called her a friend - I did again Missing syntax, it's as fake as wax So what if I don't go? This dimension is only a home Crawling through my flux, I hope I don't get stuck So what if I don't go? This dimension is only a home I hate, I move along for days Melting in time, I forgive the light Crawling through my flux, I hope I don't get stuck

Will It Stay 02:40
Colours, letters, single-file schoolers Breathing, laughing, undermining something Remember it started, And you're underwater and covered in sheets Pushing a stroller, Make love to the sidewalks shadows Naked constant, no such thing as justice Calling, howling: "visuals are nothing", "Colours, letters, single-file schoolers", "Breathing, laughing, undermining something"
8.
It's all in pictures, But time is a figure passing through a stoned face frame - It lets you live again Dig me deeply, I've wandered outside of my own eyes Call me calmly, It might take a while to realize denial It might be a lie - See?

Pipe Dreams 03:31
Remember when you understood, And conscience told you if you could? [You are] a bit too late, [You are] creating a place, [You are] full of doubt, [You are] figuring out Remember when trust was a friend, And you could hold on Carl's hands? [You are] a bit too late, [You are] creating a place, [You are] full of doubt, [You are] figuring out

Charlie Said 04:51
I am the water, the sun, and moon - A tree pulled from under a mass shared tomb She calls me out, and sets it in my hand - A hologram of everything I am - Awake to see to the worst part of me, A dream, a chorus of words I can't speak "How long?" "How long?" "How long?" Charlie Said, "How long?"
