I Don't Exist
01:52
|
|
||
|
I got a feeling
knee deep inside of me
I don't know how to let it out
I don't exist no more
I don't exist no more
is there a reason I should be?
I think therefore I am
sounds to me like a sham
I don't think ergo I am not
I don't exist no more
I don't exist no more
there is no reason I should be

You'll Be Fine
01:49
|
|

lying to yourself
lying all the time
lying on the shelf
lie it on the line
you don't notice
you'll be fine
you don't know this but
you'll be fine

Deep in the Sea
01:18
|
|
||
|
deep in the sea
dependency
I want to be the queen of the ocean
deep in the sea
I want you to sing like the ocean to me
I want you to sing like the ocean to me

Astronomically Small
01:36
|
|
||
|
I try to not try
it's a strange game
you only win it
if you don't play
we are all
astronomically small
catastrophically drawn
to our destruction
satisfaction
is never lasting
pleasure fades out
and if you slip in
lake woebegone
you will be dripping
you will be gone

Moons of Mars
03:22
|
|
||
|
I used to live upon the moons of mars
how fear and panic
were my gods
falling like a star across the sky
reading the stellar signs
residing in space where there is no night
only the vision of the cosmic eye
stars shine and whisper in my ear
I can't describe what I hear
I used to think that I could never fly
planet to planet, beyond the sky
hold me I'm bound to disappear
like a feeling and a thousand years

Word of Mouth
01:43
|
|
||
|
think you can't think you can
either way you're right
just as the saying says
just as you decide
even a mountain can be worn down to dust
by a gentle touch steadily
sweeping as it must
wherever you're going
that is where you are
and where you've been to
is also never far
freedom is just
another word for being free
yet I wish to stretch not
my feet beyond my sheet
much to do yet nothing too
and some nothing more
so long so long

Doesn't Work
02:28
|
|
||
|
my love doesn't work
you do not feel
what I am feeling
nor do I
my love is a gun
loaded with blanks
shot up in vein
surrender again
oh and I can't see
the woods for the trees
the trees for the woods
the wood in the trees
love is a four letter word
how'd we get these views?
that make us obtuse
condition acute
me and you

Money Isn't Real
01:51
|
|
||
|
our construction looming over us
eclipse the light woven in the truss
why do we give them their powers?
really money isn't real
yet suffering still goes on and on
why do we give them their powers?
small fish drowning no hands bail them out
trickle, drown, and undermine their clout
why do we give them what's ours?
how you spend is how you vote
well we got a long way to go, so go
why do we give them their powers?

Don't Be Afraid
00:44
|

don't be afraid to be nothing
because nothing lasts forever

Skeletons in the Flesh
02:07
|
|
||
|
I see my past before me
skeletons in the flesh
closet doors open to time
stranger in a stranger land
I'm feeling indisposed
alter the blood in my bones
skeletons in the flesh
I'm dripped down to my last drop
I'm dry but still can't stop
why don't you drink more water?
I flew too close to the sun
then landed in the sea
still I would do it again

Patriarch Nemesis
00:48
|
|
||
|
jenny's go nowhere to hide
but plenty by which to abide
there is a low frequency voice
choosing her choice
and it's trying to control her mind
patriarch nemesis
I see the balance tipped on it's side
I see wings clipped before they fly
and all this masculine is mascul-out
so leave it where it can die
|

Get Over Yourself
02:38
|
|
||
|
everyone's around
but no one's here
la la la la la la
so I grab a pen
and a notepad too
and I make a note to myself
why don't you just get get get
over yourself?
why don't you just get over
over yourself?
why don't you quit
don't discomfit
why don't you just get over
over yourself?

Status Quo
02:44
|
|

i am just a watched pot
sitting on a cold stove
never been on my own
myself I am heating
what's inside for eating
the contents of my soul
no need to say mister
i am just a blister
i show up when the work is done
im a late bloomer
seedless like a rumor
some are planted in the shade
lay me low
status quo
beautiful
don't be normal at all
i am just a poor boy
nobody may touch me
living out in the cold
i heard it from a prophet
let he who is without bombs
go and throw the very first stone
i told it to a priestess
who never tried to preach us
she had me go and gather stones
i began to throw one
before i could she stopped me
she gathered them and built my home
(chorus)
catch nothing but a fleeting glimpse
it feels so good that it makes me wince
i see the prose but im not convinced
no not convinced at all
a better man would not be a man
broken illusion you understand
that it is me who is you
and you is me so...

Drink Your Shadow
02:43
|
|
||
|
how are you going to go
far enough if you don't go
too far too soon rare
that someone really does play fair
are we living in
a perpendicular universe?
or are things just skewed?
hyperbolic point of view
can I drink my shadow?
so darkness leaves me behind
as I'm running out
out of touch so fill up again
can I call your name
or do I have the wrong number
and it loses fun
life in the third person

New Ages

could you ask a hummingbird
to stay for tea?
does it wait for you?
it does surely not for me
would you have the snow
hold its falling?
but that would make
the clouds too full
would you take your time
to the zoo?
and feed it animals
could you listen to
the stars above
wait a little minute
things are different now
oh no, wait they're not
thread the needle
of your eye above

Hell
03:50
|
|
||
|
in the earthly eventual
all roads lead to hell
hell is a place beyond infinite grace
where the silence of death is the all
beyond the realm of the known
opposites merge to whole
hell is the light of the flame of the sun
where the angels and demons are one
