Same Coin 05:04
Pluck my false bravado from the air Make it loud, make it real as I want Hideous creature, but you can't help but stare Looking through looking glass We're on the same side The same side Are you lucky? Are you cursed? Are you the last one who will be first? Will they sing a chorus of your verse? When all are one and one for all The same We're on the same side The same side We're on the same side The same side Cannon fodder Building materials Mortar Drinking water Silver spoonfuls Fortune A thousand sides, a single surface

Trade Winds 07:38
Peeking at a diamond sky Through a hole in the frost on the window Sneaking right behind your eyes Without a care where the wind blows And where the wind blows Is where your loving goes Secret voyeurs of what we'd been dreaming of: the same old story And where the wind blows Is where your loving goes Feeling right as rain Sunny skies are back again Come hell or water rising It lies inside, inviolate

Myst 05:05
Weighted down by bags of nails and thorns Everyday another chance to fail So shake your tiny fist and curse the day you were born Such a wicked child, the shame and scorn And I was born with blood on my hands Broken by design, the gears refuse to turn Bound by all the lack of self inside And if I try I could fade into myst Silent, sublimate away And now it's dark But I'll turn the light on when I leave

Catastrophe 04:57
I think you might Let your mind wander away from here sometimes What do you find? Is it sunrise or shipwrecks? Ice skates or confects? Or a million other things you might define Lost secrets unwind Cause when it all collapses You might not even see But I will unfolding remold it to memory And wind-weathered scars Remind us where we have been So divine to forget but remember I'm only a man Close your eyes 'midst this falling snow See the sunrise of a thousand years ago, and wonder What might have become of just one little discrepancy The thought of which now only leads us to catastrophe Cause when it all collapses I just know you won't see But I will unfolding remold it to memory And it might be wrong But how can I atone? Is being in love such a sin when I'm in it alone? When we met We flew high I had nothing left I had nothing left to fear Now as I sink Into the cracks between I wish you well, good night my dear Good night my dear

Slimetime 04:25
So So many places So many faces That you can't see So what's A little bloodshed To form adhesive Breed unity? But don't Don't call me brother To put another Under your heel Convinced That all your violence Is truly righteous Yeah you took that pill Spiral round the drain "It's all pretend," your litany But we are all what we elevate My friend, we're what we pretend to be So feed The paranoia The great destroyer The living end And squeeze That imagined wasteland Inside your tiny god-hand Make it great again The body of what's real Exchanged with what you feel Zero out of ten
