I hope you care to know bout me All my actions are guaranteed To be exactly what they are and nothing more Ha! speaking circles silver tongue picks you up and leaves you dumb hope you find the time to run and find your own cause I can't save you nothin But time and sweet patience Oh I tried to change the station To find the static garden I hope we learn to wait our turn criticize the flame that burns Hang ourselves up on the cross just to get heard eh... A new child learns to bang a drum encourage lessons from the dumb til he forgets just why he ever left his mom And the sky is moving up and up fa-farther away Telescopes are in reverse, they look inside of the brain

Notion 03:30
No notions to bestow me i ride along myself I sit atop the shelf With my head of dust Collapse into myself Bloom into a red dwarf star I'm bigger than the room And watchin from afar but If it weren't for my being down, so down The dark woulda never parted and her light wouldn't be found Will i wait for myself to die to find that notion deep inside that's shinin blind A potion that's on tap Free flowing and surreal An Englishman admiring The delicate mouthfeel A couldren ever boiling Inside of you and I We never could surrender To the bubbles as they rise And who woulda thought we'd be oblivious Who woulda thought We'd be ridiculous So strong for so long And who woulda thought she'd be conspicuous Who woulda thought she would be dangerous So long ms. So wrong To stoke the flame that's dyin To paint a dusty wall Two shoe laces tied together and we're bound to fall But The floor holds many secrets If you ever care to look they say The tallest tree has the biggest roots And I've got time to nook

Stick in the mud flood rise to the occasion you're a name signed in blood a sunset wrapped in chains did you ever feel the joy of laughing yourself to sleep? easy come easy go easy truth hard to swallow you're a heart in the snow it only melts when it attacks did you ever taste the sweetness hidden behind the scene? well, don't weep for me cause I can't cry for you Time isn't free when I try to understand you drifting in space a haze of poison laughter you are running in place you only fly when you're asleep did you ever feel the hatred hidden inside your love? easy to easy fro easy lies hard to caught out you're a bald Repunzel empty palms grasp at air did you ever feel the love in taking a strangers hand? ooh, who could lie to you but your own self?

Spillin 03:59
O, We're all boiling over tonight spilling out our hearts Like drippings from the pan With No one to catch the drops So they all mix together in the end Spilling on our feet is all we can't catch in our hands We try to pick it up again but It's no use Til I look at you and see in your eyes what I've felt since youth Oh it's how we sell ourselves to each other trading hearts and hands but the devil earns a share, damn him well, I won't share you til every last drop finds my spoon We tried to part when the sand blew up in my face I tried to get around; tried to find a better day Say 'Nothins in the way' But I've been set back since I was a stray

Flashbang 03:44
Tell me your secrets with a flashbang Your sorry words are like teargas grenades When I fell for you I signed my name I couldn't rip up the contract til it was too late Couldn't sign my name Makes me sick unless I'm in love Then I like it along with everything else Til I am humbled by being alone Fourty five dollars and a night on the town was enough to make me feel like a king She held her drink between her legs as she started to sing She needed both hands free to shake and wave Like she's insane Makes me sick unless I'm in love Then I like it along with everything else Til I am humbled by being alone I can't speak If I'm not strong I can't write If I'm not wrong

Me and baby had a talk today We were Stuck inside the words we said So I told her to relax That every dream takes time to grow Just look at me, I've been wading in glum since I was a boy I still hope someday I'll fly Everyone I love by my side I've done all it takes to feel right I deserve it this time Take me back to childhood when I first set eyes on you I was taken aback by your sweet hue All the years have gone by and I still feel like a baby child Like a twisted trunk pushing cracks into the the above ground It's when we figured out Wishful thinking is just dead air Unless we do Speak hold sing pause renew Renew me baby All the years have gone by Not everything is the same On the heels of a dream bursting brain So pick it as you please and leave the rest to apathy And I'll hold you like a diamond in the nest where no one else can see

Suits 05:49
Everybody gives it up to someone It may be she or him, us or them Privately or posted it's had Anyway it's savored Clasp your hands to your heads Gasp like a sailor Overboard but found the shore Reach for the stars in your brain And throw out an anchor A change of view would suit you A change of view would suit you Everybody takes it out on someone So it happened to be you and me My problems plus yours Greater than the sum of its parts Grab for the rails pull your self out of the stream of my consciousness Rapid and mean I can dare to dream as long as I wake up slow A change of view would suit me too A Change of view would suit you Savor every savory bite Til the bitter taste of thyme Spice of life's variety Give a little bit Take a little you can't Ain't none left babe
