Thoughts of You
03:08
|
|||
You came to me an unexpected thing
A mountain range upon the horizon
Appeared from underneath
And now you are a part of me
Oh oh oh oh, ah ah ah ah
Thoughts of you will never end
Your left arm I used for a pillow
And when you turned on your side
I turned with you
Being alone is living like a hidden forest stream
That no one ever sees
But now, with you, I want no more
Oh oh oh oh, ah ah ah ah
Thoughts of you will never end
Your left arm I used for a pillow
And when you turned on your side
I turned with you

Penniless
03:58
|
|||
I'mma drop it, plain and simple
Got nearly nothing in this world
Just a pocket full of nickels
And a couple of dimes to tide me over
And what do I got
To fill the void of nothingness
I'm penniless
And even home is something so distant
But I care not...
Even a rock wall's bound to crumble
Suburban houses take a tumble
Temporary culture of objects
But I don't need material things
To satisfy me or give me wings
Even though that's not the TV tells me
And what do I got
To fill the void of nothingness
I'm penniless
And even home is something so distant
But I care not...
Flying in my dreams, I take off from the ground

Fly That Rocket
03:23
|
|||
Fly that rocket, fly that rocket away
Fly that airplane, fly that airplane away
I need to fly
Jump on that rail car, jump on that rail car
And ride away, and ride away
Pump that engine, pump that engine
And drive away, and drive away
I need to fly
Take me to the moon now
Take me to the moon now
I want to see the Earth from afar
My home is transient
I change when I feel like it
And I know
That I need to fly
To feel the wind in my hair
To see if life feels the same everywhere
Take me, take me
Fly with me, fly with me away
Take me, take me
Fly with me, fly with me away
I need to fly
To feel the wind in my hair
To see if life feels the same everywhere

Clumsy
04:22
|
|||
Walking down the road
You fall on your knees
Looking around to see who has seen
You fall on your knees
Brushing off the dirt
The dirt and the gravel
And mud and dust
And dust off your knees
But oh, you're clumsy
Oh, you're clumsy
For keeping you close
I threw you away
Distance makes the heart
Grow weary, and jealous
And makes the clear turn to gray
But maybe gray was our fate
Maybe gray was our fate

About It Later
04:31
|
|||
It's a nervous morning and a restless afternoon
And every thirty minutes
I greet myself in a mirror
Or some reflective surface
Say hey, you
Tell me honestly how are you doing?
I've been better
But my smile's still centered
I want to fall asleep in the daytime
Forget about everything
Half a block away is where my ex-lover lives
And he don't know I'm here
That's the beauty of maintaining distance
I don't wanna rekindle any sparks
I will keep my matches
And he can stay living in a puddle of water
I want to fall asleep in the daytime
Forget about everything
But my mind won't stop its rambling
Thinking of you and what you said
You said we could talk
About it later
You said we could talk later
Apocalypse in your old room
I remember lying together
Trying to avoid our impending doom
We were safe for awhile
We were safe for a little while
I want to fall asleep in the daytime
Forget about everything
But my mind won't stop its rambling
Thinking of you and what you said
You said we could talk
About it later
You said we could talk later

Party Hat
03:28
|
|||
I came to town
Awaiting some kind of party hat
I thought you'd have for me
Emotionally speaking
Sometimes I crave a little company
Thank you for helping me to partake
In a maintenance dose of reality
I get bothered when my feelings don't match my mind
I like to keep it rational
Most of the time
I become tongue tied
When I try to describe this love
Words cannot articulate
Intangible emotions I feel
I know the truth, I can tell you
This world is full of complexity
Nothing is simple
And I get bothered when my feelings don't match my mind
I like to keep it rational
Most of the time

Deathsong
05:54
|
|||
Darkest night of the year
Death found me here
Staring up at the sky
Pondering being alive
Said he'd like to steal me
Away from this life
He said "now is your time baby
I'm gonna break you
I'm gonna take you"
And I said "I think that you've got me all wrong
You've been thinking I'm a sculpture
But I'm a song
And I might not be so easy to capture
I'm not ready to give up on
Earthly rapture"
Hey, universe
What are you doing??
Intuition tells me
You've got something brewing
Even if you break my body
My soul you cannot shatter
Songs endure
Longer than tangible matter
And I think that you've got me all wrong
You've been thinking I'm a sculpture
But I'm a song
And I might not be so easy to capture
I'm not ready to give up on
Earthly rapture
I'm not ready to give up on
Earthly rapture
I'm not ready to give up on
Earthly rapture
