Keeping Promises
02:35

|
It’s always fresher when it’s fresh
And you said you were the best
I’m so inclined too say
Thats it over now I’ve said it
Goodbye and it was leaden
And it buried both of us or just me
Keeping promises
Years go by and life is over
Keeping down your failures
Barely burdening beneath the surface
Good bye good bye good bye this can’t be real
Forever your are never
Forever oh my G-d
Forever what’s up man

Right or Wrong
02:47
|
|||
|
Nightmare you and me
Absolute horror this visions that I’m seeing
Everything was fine
I was shedding hiding out and keeping away
But you brought the party here
And I was touched with indifference
Stood next to but irrelevant
Oh relevance
What it means to mean something
How it feels to important to someone too
What it means to mean something
How it feels to important to someone too
When I see you you make me feel lonely cause with you I see
All these possibilities
I’m going to swallow them whole
So I can move along
I won’t see you before you go
Right Or wrong

I'm Saturn Dear
04:04
|
|||
|
I’m Saturn dear
No I said that I’m sitting here
But prefer the former
No not performer the first one
A happy mistake that leaves the phrase world a better place
I’m goin to go sit on the porch now
I was done eating years ago
And listen for some sweet sounds
And try to find a place at their feet
If no one is Saturn there
And there is fun fun fun fun fun out on the horizon
And there is fun fun fun fun fun out on the horizon
Won’t you follow
Won’t you follow that sound
I’d follow but my ears are not good enough
Won’t you follow
Won’t you follow that sound
I’d follow but my ears are not good enough to discern what they’ve found to uncover those sweet deep sounds
I’m saddened dear
I Don’t feel at home anywhere
I’m building a bridge
Out of tooth picks
I’m chasing songs that might not exist
Living off of fear and loving it
Won’t you follow
Won’t you follow that sound
I’d follow but my ears are not good enough to discern what they’ve found to uncover those sweet deep sounds

You Hated Me Once
04:21
|
|||
|
The hardest trip that I ever took
Was walking away from you
I saw your tiny hands as they waved good bye
And I said I’d see you soon
But I knew things were never going to be the same again
And a wave of emotion crept over me and I just stop there frozen
Ooo
You hated me once
When we though I threw out your dead sons things
When we found them later we went out for pancakes and we laughed at relief at the stupid mistakes we sometimes all make
and we laughed at relief at the stupid mistakes
That we sometimes all make and we hung as people not grandma and son and you poured more syrup over my pancakes
Ooooh

Huddle
04:44
|
|||
|
Is it raining outside ?
Well at last some rest and nourishment
I’ve been so overly active
Absent minded
Action oriented I lost track of whats most important
Now I’m listening
Yeah I’m hearing what you have to day
I need a canopy
An atmospheric shade that allows me time to huddle and this things through
I need a canopy
An atmospheric haze that provides me
with time to be human too
And time to prepare
I’ve been catastrophic in nature
Now I must court change and I must age and listen for what I missed
I need a canopy
An atmospheric shade that allows me time to huddle and this things through
I need a canopy
An atmospheric haze that provides me
with time to be human too
I’ve been catastrophic in nature
Now I must court change and I must age and listen for what I missed

A Part
03:28
|
|||
|
I’m not reaching for any stars
I guess that light will burn out when it burns out and then there you are
I’m not trying to be a part of someone else’s life because you just fight and then you grow apart
I have no plans to come over let’s just call this a draw ‘and say that things were sought after
I have no plans to go over what meaning will be lost if we don’t grow old together
If we don’t know each other anymore
Anymore
If we can’t accept each other flaws
I have no plans to come over let’s just call this a draw ‘and say that things were sought after
before we knew any better
I’m not reaching for any stars
I guess that light will burn out when it burns out and then there you are
I’m not trying to be a part of someone else’s life because you just fight and then you grow apart

The Ropes
03:58
|
|||
|
Well I’m the absence of a man
I’m the absence of me
I have lost all of my knowledge I am ready
To receive to receive
Well I got myself some science
Which in turn gave me hope
I put the two together and I got off the ropes
And into the fight again I’m going to see whats right again
In front of my face
Now if the suns shining though my life I know it’s unusual
But I’m going to give it a try
if the suns shining though my life I know it’s unusual
But I’m going to try it on for size
if the suns shining though my life I know it’s unusual
I’m going to give it some time
Now is the suns shining though my life I know it’s unusual
I’m going to see what thats like
If the suns shining through my life I know it’s unusual
I know it’s unusual I know I know
Well I’m the absence of a man
I’m the absence of me
I have lost all of my knowledge I am ready
To receive to receive
Now if the suns shining though my life I know it’s unusual
But I’m going to give it a try
if the suns shining though my life I know it’s unusual
But I’m going to try it on for size
if the suns shining though my life I know it’s unusual
I’m going to give it some time
Now is the suns shining though my life I know it’s unusual
I’m going to see what thats like
If the suns shining through my life I know it’s unusual
I know it’s unusual I know

Immortality
03:48

I traced your name into the pollen on the window
In the room where we would spend our time
And quite honestly in quiet honesty
Now it’s the place where we’d pretend these days would ride
Now it’s the place where we’d pretend these days would ride
Out and on pour out forever
I m m o r t a l i t y
I traced your name into the pollen on the window
In the room where we would spend our time
And quite honestly in quiet honesty
And when your name fades and it will
I’ll trace it in again and begin a trend of remembering
And I’ll bring you immortality
Yes I’ll bring you immortality
Oh I’ll bring you immortality
Yes I’ll bring you.
And when your name fades and it will
I’ll trace it in again and begin a trend of remembering
And I’ll bring you immortality
Yes I’ll bring you immortality
Oh I’ll bring you immortality
Oh I’ll bring you

All My Weaknesses
04:02
|
|||
|
You won’t believe what I was thinking
I had some faith in myself
Now I must have been dreaming
Who do I think I am?
Turns out the animal in me had been killing off all my weaknesses
all my weaknesses
Now I respond to form
And I am fond of flavor
I am in new skin but I don’t feel like a traitor
This feels nice
With the animal inside
This feels right
With everything aligned
For the first Time in my life.
Now I respond to form
And I am fond of flavor
I am in new skin but I don’t feel like a traitor
This feels nice
With the animal inside
This feels right
Like I’m alive for the first time in my life
Turns out the animal in me had been killing off all my weaknesses
all my weaknesses

T.V.
04:06
|
|||
|
See how they run
All the children scream
When they see the blood gushing out of my wrists
I was taking out the garbage
I was in a rush to get home in a rush to Get home
To t.v. which means a little time for me
Before the night expires
Accidents they happen
This one felt inspired
You are a bloody mess and honestly frightened
Of who you are capable of being
Who is this man and child and fighting
To understand how we got to this place how we got to be this way how we got this state of mind where accidents can lead to dying
See how they run
All the children scream
When they see the blood gushing out of my wrists
I was taking out the garbage
I was in a rush to get home in a rush to Get home
To t.v. which means a little time for me
Before the night expires
Accidents they happen
This one felt inspired
I figured if could bleed I could leave work a little early

Sweets
03:32
|
|||
|
I’ve been at it again
Indulging in sweets and sad tunes
One to counter at the other just before I go to bed
And dream of something pleasant put that there instead of bad news
When I get a leg up I cut it off
I Don’t know why this habit plagues
I’m always angry and I’m craving
Seems somethings missing from the bigger picture that I framed
Now it’s rough on the mind and the heart
To see yourself sailing empty seas without a breeze and no oars and No one else is aboard then the everyday is a chore
Then these chocolates with the sad tunes keep me stable in these
Empty ruins
I’ve been at it again
Indulging in sweets and sad tunes
One to counter at the other just before I go to bed
And dream of something pleasant put that there instead of you
When I get a leg up I cut it off
I Don’t know why this habit plagues
I’m always angry and I’m craving
Seems somethings missing from the bigger picture that I framed

Discourse
04:21
|

|
Could I have been more honest in our discourse
I don’t think I could have been
I said too much which is par for the course
But now I don’t know where I stand
I am black and blue in the brain
My hearts so dry it probably wouldn’t even leave a stain
Oh and I forgot how to be young
Never learned how to grow old so now I’m on the run
From myself
From myself
I’m not waiting to find out if my ships coming in
Or if it’s time to go sailing I have lost my most important feelings
At a cost and it’s constantly revealing itself
Constantly revealing
I am black and blue in the brain
My hearts so dry it probably wouldn’t even leave a stain
Oh and I forgot how to be young
Never learned how to grow old so now I’m on the run
From myself
From myself
Could I have been more honest in our discourse
I don’t think I could have been
I said too much which is par for the source
But now I don’t know where I stand
