Hello
The smoke coats my throat and starts to burn like a hell
A story I recite, and I know well
A drop of kerosene and the whole crowd goes wild
Assured we're cured, we'll trash the day and shred the files
He turns pink, it turns gray, I turn away
You could have been anything you wanted to be
The God of sea, angry
His tides turn in pairs
With confessions he must share
Oh, this conversation's not going anywhere!
Behold the whites of our eyes, we bow
To the man who tried to hunt us as a ghost
He said he probably loved us all the most
How do you handle the hands that you've been dealt?
Turn the page, it starts to fade, you'll walk away
Now you can mesmerize the world, you watched it melt
You can be anything you want to be

Here Comes Thunder
03:57

The words come out
Cue the pangs of doubt
Is my voice too loud?
There's no need to yell
Shouldn't ever have to say this but: there is no need to yell
Is it under control?
Or are you under control?
We shall break free from the chains of the ranges of guilt that plague us. Each day I comply to an ode to seeking a better existence than the one that I live in, some you lose, but some you will win- but you should sleep on it.
The words drowned out
Look who's hollering now!
Is my voice too loud?
Well, this storm's barely peaking
My earth drenched and plowed,
The soil's set, the thunder howls
This storm's barely peaking
Plant a balance between
Sunlight and suffering

The Baby Got Wet
02:06
|

A misstep onto the sidewalk
This is a test: can you still act tough?
The baby got wet,
She laved the pavement
The biggest regret is the best tasting
The headache expands the mind
So let's suppose a bigger picture
Please wont you tell me what you find next time?
Call him a girl, you can dress him, you can curl his hair
This is the best- the ocean is sopping wet
Annihilate the life of suffering that breathing can bring and you will die smiling
The headache expands with time
So let's put off the bigger picture
Please wont you tell me what you find?
Or if you'd rather not bother
A pillow and a bed and I will be fine-
I'm free to pick a pen up with my fingers
Everything becomes a sign and I become a poster
Stomach bleeds and bleeds and bleeds, it amounts to nothing
Stomach turns and stomach sinks, it amounts to nothing
Stomach might be hungry, it amounts to nothing

Love Me

Married to a URL, a text message
This love is unconditional: but only under one condition
Love me
Well I know that I might sound ridiculous but please hear me out-
This love is unconditional
Love me
Posture only a mother could love,
With dark hair down to her arms,
Posture only a mother could love-
With bad skin, oh, she is reptilian!
Posture only a mother could love me
Love me
I know that I might sound ridiculous so please hear me out, cuz I can't be the only one who thinks like this- please put me under for the bulk of it

Lick
02:49
|
|||
|
I got a lot to say
Oh please won't you listen to me baby
Does this make you wanna lick?
Spend so much time alone,
Running laps around my home
So lonely, I come to yours, and you know that it makes you wanna
Lick
This planet is constantly in motion- shouldnt we learn a thing or two from it? It feels good, don't it? To slow down, here and there? Make some music to share? Does it make you wanna lick?

I can be humble when I have to see his face
But the anger that I hide resides in a very dark place
And it takes up a part of me that I can't get back
When it unleashes, it absorbs all the light and the room goes black
Because it's not something that you easily forget
Stranded and left in a long, reverberant hall
Watch the people walk by, and some might stop and check- but not all
We can window shop for hours,
But I can't sell you on this-
Good luck figuring out your world when you're innocent without evidence
I know that I sound angry I'm just some hysterical girl
But a stranger's word can be kind, if you'd just allow
If there's one thing that I've picked up in this hollow world-
It's every action that you take follows you back somehow
Release control, be free your soul, you'll be better for this world and happier overall

This Plain Plane
02:42
|
|||
|
A step in the right direction-
Though chained within the plane
There is no all-knowing,
No cheating in this game
Though if you pick up patience,
You'll find that the rules change
Say it with me
This is just a ride
And it can be fun, until something bad comes along
So hold your breath, the chemicals are crashing
Adjust the frequency
It's all good enough for me
Did you see your garden? how it has grown
Aren't you proud of yourself
It's been so long since you got the word
It's time to pick up after yourself, no reason to hide
You're only here for the ride

Cat's Cradle
03:46
|
|||
|
A cat's cradle of illness
A shift from urge to stillness
It's too late- my head is filled with blood, my throat is filled with blood
Does anyone else hear this ringing?
All of this time's been wasted filled to the brim with hatred
Dig a hole the size of a grave
Fortified and homey and safe
There are no words to be exchanged
And when the sun sets, there's a chill that quells the anger in me
A note held out to inifinity, the cosmos
A sanctuary
Forge meaning out of nothing or suffer
A field of lavender with a flowerish scent,
I wont leave this place ever again
I am not dispensable
I am indispensable
The hour has come
We have waited so long
One hundred thousand permutations
Are cycling the sun

That's a good look for you my honey
Green and blue, my honey
Will you wait for me? I'm not ready
If not I guess I'll never see you in my sleepless dreams under the sleepless stars of night

The One Who Got Away
04:26
|
|||
|
Roll over or you'll get sores
We have made this bed now we must lie in it
The cause crumbles cuz its weak
But we're both so strong
You will never have to touch yourself alone- just call out my name
And I'll send all our regrets with the rain
We can revert to a time before sympathy was not a chore
We're so much wiser than we claim
Our lullaby puts all the rest to shame
The universe gave birth and it spilt out onto our floor
But I was looking for more,
And I'm sorry I never said goodbye
When I sang our song for the very last time
I thought I'd find something to better occupy my mind
But sooner than later, every good thing crumbles in front of my eyes
I can't live in a world lacking in honesty
So I send all my regrets with the rain
The universe turned on itself, there is no one else we can blame
We're so much wiser than you claim
Our strength puts us ahead of the game
The nebula gives birth to ya, you feel it once then never feel the same
Never to revert
No longer will you hurt
If you let go of the pain
