Selfish Love 02:18
You’ve gotta cultivate it The soil is soft and faded I was a worm but now I’m gone And then it rained again Track marks muddied the ground began To firm up the life that you fed on A selfish love I got used to Gonna trick me out of my boots But I will try to lean forward Gonna need the best parachute Sometimes you gotta feed it The ground needs water weed it I was the sun but now I’m gone The garden then will die Plants they wither and go dry Losing the light that they fed on A selfish love I got used to Gonna trick me out of my shoes You will hear this I will make you String it all together parachute

Seasons 02:49
Seasons change I know I can be Standing tall like an old willow tree Needing it’s rest indefinitely I don’t wanna know the end to be When they come to chop down the tree Mountains fall in harmony As rocks get carried by the sea Way down where the water boils No one gets out till the fall Hearing the way behind the door No one gets out till the fall Seasons change oh where will we be Just get up past a quarter to three Taking the test indefinitely I don’t wanna know the end to be When they come to chop down the tree Mountains fall in harmony As rocks get carried by the sea Way down where the water boils No one gets out till the fall Hearing the way behind the door No one gets out till the fall

Hard to Say 02:42
You don’t even want but you have a choice Give it a name and you give it a voice I’ve been wondering why what where and how You think about it you don’t think about It’s hard to say It’s hard to do It’s hard for me Like its hard for you too Time it’ll pass it’ll all slip away How do I know what it’s worth in a day Living the burden of being alive Time in my hands a hand forced to survive it’s hard to say It’s hard to do It’s hard for me Like its hard for you Time it’ll be gotta leave to maintain Nestle with love and you wrestle with pain But I’ve been thinking of giving it a try You let it all go before it all goes by it’s hard to say It’s hard to do It’s hard for me Like its hard for you

Down 01:59
It’s raining it’s pouring The old man he’s boring outside the window it snows Read my lips and I’ll kiss you on the fist You don’t have to say no Cause down there is down You don’t have to wear a cracked crown Read my lips and I’ll kiss you on the fist You don’t have to say no Stay with me oh play with me The future’s not here not endlessly Another thing I don’t know And where is the list where you wanna be a kid Those things that your that where his Cause down there is down You don’t have to wear a cracked crown Read my lips and I’ll kiss you on the fist You don’t have to say no

All the days my life passed by I’m going out, don’t know why There’s too many clouds and not enough shine I’m going out, gotta try The week long nights The falling behind Tell my love I’m going out Tell my love to get out Don’t want you around ‘Cause you want me down But I’m not gonna break for you I’m not gonna break ‘cause someone’s gonna love me better Some day I hope it is true Some day love is gonna pat me on the back not keep me blue Through the maze through days and another phase I’m crawling out of the tomb There’s so many doubt and not enough why’s I’m going out, gotta try
7.
Leave a light on for me when you close the door There seems to be nothing left for me, nothing anymore I tried and it’s true to keep loving you But all the feelings sag You know it and we blocked it out And all the fruit went bad That’s when it seemed like things weren’t going right where it’s going there is no light And then the summer turned to night and there’s no light There’s just flight. And the summer sighed. And you won’t try… There was a time when we were loving glowing love We stopped in our tracks and we blurred all the facts, It all fit like a glove Even the people then they filled the air with light And life was not the thing it is now. There was no stress or strife.
8.
You were the one that I was waiting for In the dream that happened next door In the dream all the world we won That dream came to me but you went gone They love you… You were the dream I was waiting on Don’t know why you made me wait so long Wil you stay will you feel in my shoes A lucid day, anything we choose

Idiot 03:04
You are an idiot I am just watching it Pour right out of your hole Sophomoric, but too late to call it You said it out loud for us all Now it’s right there waiting for you Where you dropped it, drunk on your stool You can’t talk right. Trying to walk right I am an idiot, I’m done ignoring it. Overdoing it all. The stupid decisions are crazy and starting to rub my face on the wall Now the outcome is waiting for me. And it’s got roots just like this damn tree I can talk right. Trying to walk right. Now you’re behind the walling and people are calling They think you know nothing but there wrong you know something You play like your’e sleeping, ‘cause you enjoy the creeping up Into the surprise and the brightness in their eyes Now let’s stop there and think what is true What you said when drunk on your stool Trying to talk right. When you can’t even walk right.

Singularity 03:51
Get it right now. Youʼre too elated. Shot on site, but the feeling faded. Devices they connect, but they divide the decisive divisive. Subsist with the fest. Put a string on a wrench. Devices paying prices, feeding wires and beating itʼs core. This is the night where the light ainʼt bright. From the slight of the hand to the thrill of it all You merged with the less, and you consist of the more. Become the one human computer man... the computerman. Get it right now. Youʼre too elated. Shot on site, but the feeling faded.
