Summer 03:07
what you’re waiting for sees an open door and says “fast goes first to last”, faces towards the past what are you going to do? nobody said you’d have to choose now you used to be so afraid, you remember why now but winter understands shaking all my hands and still holding you in line sweat cause in your mind it’s summer time which are you going to choose? all of these things are yours to do now you used to be so afraid, you remember why now cause everything splits in two, everything melts inside of you now it used to be all ok, can’t remember how now

Dreams Away 04:08
every face has a fade every one means the same thing wipe my eyes like i'm trying to forget everything i did last night i'm too tired to be trying to survive i've been sleeping all my life and now i gotta wake up gotta wash away my dreams today is just tomorrow and tomorrow's just today i will wash my dreams away every party's the same everyone knows i'm not listening you're too kind! are you slipping out of mind? because i'm falling out of mine every time like i'm trying to forget everything i did last night
8.
dirty morning sun shining on the curl that holds my gun my metal one if anything comes loose i only have to sic this stain on you superglue you're captured by the pool broken as the ruler sure as hell won't miss the smell i'm just too wet to feel and the water's all too real i, the fool, swim over you if i turn back, i sink on down and if i sink down, i'm coming back the other side of a heart's attack it's everything to me this love of mine goes swimming in the sea too fast to last a frozen eye in glass too slow to make the transport safe and sound fall under ground if i look through you, the colors change and if i bend just right, then there's nothing left to rearrange stained light in you you lose the nerve to act your age a dirty world on a dirty page
9.
Sleeper 03:07
someday, stuck on the road missing color through the lens i see i’m stuck in a loop sleeper, where did you go these things used to land on top of me but “shhhh” it’s lonely, more than you know begging you don’t put the wrap on me crazy, my kids on a roll baby please don’t turn your back on me

Lover 04:01
when i’m eyes under the cover i look until i see the other i tell myself about the lover you just smile until it’s over collect me now cause i feel older you keep me warm when it gets colder i cool you off when you’re all hothead and we go underwater instead and when i sleep i sleep with everything under me and when i’m down i’m down and only you’re real to me and when i dream i dream the things that you want to be and when i die i die with you still inside of me and when i’m high not high as when you’re here next to me and when i think i think i’m not much of anything and when i laugh i laugh and only you laugh with me and when you cried i cried most everything out of me
12.
Look At You 02:33
closer, inches in inches out someone shuffles the stares gets older and everything mixes round just spins around round round look at you still you go in and you go out but someone sucks up the air all stormy now that you’re overground but you can see right through look at you looking at you
13.
we get down with the castoff kids escaping eyes until we lose our memories oh memories, what memories? we'll see the sound and i won't speak out loud even once we're over ground oh i won't stop now and i'm feeling headskies even when i close my eyes oh, i'm inside it i'm inside it memories, what memories? what memories?
14.
Into Time 04:16

Surprise 03:12

21.
Junktime 03:37
junktime you’re sleeping you’re useless after 9 you’re trying all the time you’re holding onto line don’t touch that line you drink a little too much too early in your life you get a little bit too sleepy for another night you’re only looking for a place where you can be safe sound you’re only looking for another to treat you right some people talk pretty loud and some people talk real low some kind of people that you don’t really want to know you can leave me alone or you can love me apart you can love me apart or you can leave me alone junktime
22.
i get bigger every night when i wrap myself around the light my love goes further and further until they're out of sight my shattered body on the floor points towards a letter on the door says i was stupid and alive i was stupid and alive am i getting colder every day? am i losing love along the way? small things get bigger and bigger until they pass away you ignore me for a while, i remember how to smile i am stupid and alive i am stupid and alive you won’t call me on the phone and i’m too scared to be alone so i go faster and faster and faster maybe later in the sun you and i can lie as one we go faster and faster and faster i am stupid and alive i am stupid and alive
23.

26.
Run 03:42
face always out of air air thicker in this place this place is wrapped up in your mind run you’re scared of having time so you cover it up like you’re really just that tough you’re a tough guy but you’re making you low, did you really want to go i don’t think so now you’re painting the walls, you think you’ve got them all and you’re not wrong but you’re static in space with that tough look on your face in your own place
27.
every time i get in my head i hear the drone in your heart every little question you have is worth tearing apart every time you get on the train it takes you out to the sticks every little thing is recalled and modified for your kicks every little trouble i find is gonna talk the talk every time you mark on the wall its gonna break up the bank every part of me that you touch is gonna crumble like chalk every time you tape me together i pull you apart every time i get in my head i see your breath in the dark
28.
waiting for my phone call, looking at my front door you so tired all you wanna do is sleep without dreams its over and over with you lately you’re somewhere and you wanna be somewhere else lockin like you gotta be broken out, it’s nowhere so i’m searching for my window while i’m thinking at my old home locked and loaded like you feel it in your bone some controlled impulse that spins over and over in you maybe you’re something when you wanna be something else broken and you wanna be broken back like it’s no thing i wanna be somewhere else i wanna be somewhere i am waiting for my phone call
