Time of Waste
03:05

I don't wanna go
I don't wanna stay
But if you give it all
And if you run away
Then I will wait for you
And I won't let them say
That it's a waste of time
Or it's a time of waste
We won't fight anyway
We'll let them have their day
'Cause all that matters is my love for you
They can come
We'll hide under the stairs
Where no one waits for you
Have my whole
Take a piece with you
And if you give it all
And if you run away
Then I will wait for you
And I won't let them say
That it's a waste of time
Or it's a time of waste
We won't fight anyway
We'll let them have their day
'Cause all that matters is my love for you
They can come
We'll hide under the stairs
Where no one waits for you

Fractal
We got ourselves a natural
Over on the big house lawn
Where gallows used to hang folks
The time has come for some apathy
To give up all the lies you said to me
Maybe unfair but I don't care
Renegade
Had it made
Lying like lovers in the shade
Now he's gone
I wrote his song
When I still hoped he'd come along
The time has come for some apathy
To give up all the lies you said to me
Maybe unfair but I don't care
The time has come for some apathy
To give up all the lies you said to me
Maybe unfair but I don't care
The time has come for some apathy
To give up all the lies you said to me
Maybe unfair but I don't care

Black Kat, I see your eyes
Black Kat, I see your eyes
Black Kat, I see your eyes
Little bird, don't get too high
Little bird won't forget to fly
Little bird won't get too high
Wherever you are
Wherever I'll be
Wherever you want
Wherever I'll see
Black Kat will hear you out
Black Kat won't let you down
Black Kat up on the wall
Little bird will get too high
Little bird can't forget to fly
Little bird won't get too high
Wherever you are
Wherever I'll be
Wherever you want
Wherever I'll see
'Cause I can see the colors in your eyes
I can see the colors in your eyes
I can see the colors in your eyes
I can see the colors in your eyes
Wherever you are
Wherever I'll be
Wherever you want
Wherever I'll see

Hold my hand
I'll give you all I can
Stay, my friend
You're the last one, my lonely, my only leg standing
Taste of death
Is all you have left
Aboard the life raft
Faith for the daft
I don't know
Where to go
But I'll show my hand
And if they come
Alive today
You know I'd say look within
I'll owe
I'll go
The money's in the bank
I'll owe
I'll go
The money's in the bank

The Edge Off It
03:34
|

I never wasted a single line
And that I can say
So take your time
And time your take two
Such a fine line you crossed there
I can wait for the ending
Take the edge off of it
I can't die while you're living
Knowing what good would come of it
What good would come of it
All this candy
All this wine
My mind is blinded by the signs they put in front of my eyes
But I can wait for the ending
Take the edge off of it
I can't die while you're living
Knowing what good would come of it
I can wait for the ending
Take the edge off of it
I can't die while you're living
Knowing what good would come of it
What good would come of it
What good would come of it

The Price to Pay
04:41

Rain on me
I see my face in the mirror, cracked
Fame or free
We play their game
A huge, small price to pay
A huge, small price to pay
Take or give
We live as shadows of mannequins
Die or live
Forgive the debts you collected
A huge, small price to pay
A huge, small price to pay
A huge, small price to pay
A huge, small price to pay
Will I get wet under the stone they set
Will I get wet under the stone they set
Will I get wet under the stone they set
Will I get wet under the stone they set
Will I get wet under the stone they set
Will I get wet under the stone they set
Will I get wet under the stone they set
Will I get wet under the stone they set

Alright
02:34
|

Well, sit around the fire
And think of your desires
And everything will be alright
My friend, now you will try
Give everything in time
And everything will be alright
And life will not require your happiness
But that's a trial
'Cause everything will be alright
My friend, now you will try
Give everything in time
Trust me when I say
Everything will be alright

Well you know you're not in the movies
So relax that bitterness
No one wants to be locked up in chains
Even when they're golden
Honey, you got a death wish
Drinking like a dead fish
A dead fish
A dead fish
You're not gonna fight the world off
Or give it a chance to break
No one else has this nightmare
But everyone needs to fall asleep
Fall asleep
Well I know how you feel about me
Even if you don't know me
'Cause I saw that look on your face
And I saw you reaching for the move
When I smiled and said hello
Devils and demons everywhere, perhaps
You're not gonna fight the world off
Or give it a chance to break
No one else has this nightmare
But everyone needs to fall asleep
Fall asleep
Fall asleep
Everyone needs to fall asleep
Everyone needs to fall asleep

Of all these crimes
What can be charged
In all these lines
Can you find ours
But lost for lusting
It was the best thing
Write about it and send it away
As close as it'll get to me today
Write about it and send it away
As close as it'll get to me today
I've got no plans to light a candle
To embrace the unlikely battle
It would only devastate
And it breaks my heart to say it
Write about it and send it away
As close as it'll get to me today
Write about it, send it away
As close as it'll get to me

Across I fell
While below they dropped
And where does it go
Across I rode this gesticulating wave
Expressionless and violently thrashing in the wind
It's begun when the room gets cold
It's alone that the lie gets told
Across I fell
Over the line
While down below the patriots shine
The fire in the burning light
Is different that the loss inside
Inside, inside
It's begun when the room gets cold
It's alone that the lie gets told
Across I fell over the line
Across I fell down below, below
Low
A simple predilection
Predestination of Olympus
A write-off of all the winners
Face to face, who relegates
A bitter pill that's swallowed
A promise once not hollow
A promise once not hollow
It's begun when the room gets cold
It's alone that the lie gets told
Across I fell over the line
Across I fell down below
Across I fell over the line
Across I fell down below, below
Low, low, low, low

In the Sun

I miss you when the work's away
Another break until the day begins
And when I'm walking the other way
And everything seems softer in the sun
In the sun
The waves break smaller
The leaves turn gray
The light that was pulsing bows to the rain
But some things grow stronger and never refrain
Even when the memory's all that remains
The greening leaves turn brighter
Riding the wave
It grows and it crests and breaks and it falls away
And everything, in the end, is all the same
In the sun the shine that makes another day

These vitamins
I cannot live without
Though some will not betray the lust
Across this shadow cast, they'll walk
What is this man
If you know him, do you trust him
And if you don't, do you fear him
Yes, we are so afraid
Please contain the monster
Minotaur alien space machine
I'm told he waits around the corner
Orlando put your kids to bed
Can't you see the sinister head
Writing on the angle has become
Oh, oh so normal now, with more to come
That old 8:40 PM landlord call
About as much sense as this song
Resist the urge to purely let loose
Grammar laws and decency prevent
Grammar laws and decency prevent

Goodbye my love
Thanks for nothing
For the good times
We cannot speak of blood-tied thorns anymore
Anymore
Is this all just a game
Is it just a way to hide our feelings
Once, I'm sure, they wrote for joy
So why do I bear this like a burden
I love this as a burden cannot be
A burden cannot be
A burden cannot be
A burden cannot be
A burden cannot be
A burden cannot be
A burden cannot be

Tense Past

I watched a pot boil today
What's this world coming to
I was filtering the acid rain
To make the acid clean again
To make the acid clean again
Why can't little elves drop out of the sky
To multiply and satisfy the cycle
Of their annual rituals
And somehow leave behind a sign
To give us passage back to their side
Like little lines
Guiding lines that tell you
Where to put your little shopping cart
They would point the way
The elves
But can't look through the pouring rain
The acid rain
Come back and simmer
I'll look away
To frighten the sinner
Afterlife disgrace
Afterlife disgrace
Afterlife disgrace
Afterlife disgrace
Afterlife disgrace
Afterlife disgrace
Afterlife disgrace
Afterlife disgrace

Song of Lost
04:17
|

|
This night is carved for us
Strung as lanterns in the sky
Some clef with heartbeat regrets
I memorize this loss
Black embossed
As we write out the notes with no rests
And I dream in a language we cannot speak
Making sense to no one but you
Have my heart
If you would trust someone's hands
To seize these stars, our lumens
They would fail
Guide us past a word named love
The travesty of being human
But as your Nemean lion
My body bereft of life
And fallen from the moon
I will claim them for you
If you use my hands to tear them
I will bring them to you
The irony of simple ruin
Of ruin
And I dream in a language we cannot speak
Making sense to no one but you
Have my heart
And we speak in muffled tones
Sounding out the fusion
Of goodbyes into phones
To absent illusion
I've written all the letters I know
Chimeras as I search for you

Alone
03:11

I am a small butterfly
Losing my hue
Imagine my dance
Dust falling as prey
Denied because our stars aligned that way
And you dream in a language we cannot speak
Making sense to no one but me and you
Have my heart
Have my heart
Have my heart
Have my heart
Layers from this cocoon
Catching to tear
Lungs heaving, wings unfurled
And I am one butterfly (Falling)
A dying star within your flying world
My colors melting in your perfect air
And it is tragedy when we collide
Earth and sky
Twined like pillowed hair
And I'll be Icarus this time
Waxing drops to feel your touch
I won't notice Earth's design so much
Falling into water
Splashing brine
It's another fall near you
My wings were never beautiful
We dream in smiles
We cannot sorrow
Making sense to no one
This love song we will shadow
Omitting you every time
Keeps our lanterns strung
In a language we cannot tongue
And we dream in lost
As we cannot intone a song
Understood by no one
Have my heart
Have my heart
Have my heart
Have my heart

The Test
02:47
|

|
I give all my lovers homework
To see if they say I'm a jerk
I don't know if that's the best test
For me, it's all that's left
Stare into the eyes
Stare into the eyes
You can keep the frills
And we'll make the songs
You can keep the look
'Cause it won't last too long
Stare into the eyes
Stare into the eyes
Stare into the eyes
Stare into the eyes
Stare into the eyes
Stare into the eyes
