Iguazu 02:35
Won’t you sing for your measly supper I insist that you choose the tune Fall in love with these photographs I saw one day 2D tortured lifestyles Iguazu What a day for an indoor outlook I’m not ready to bloom Run away from these wretched lifelines Maybe one day we’ll laugh like old times Iguazu

“What’s wrong with me” is such a white thing to say Over/underneath? Here come the pounding waves At least a dozen I can see Its just everywhere I go People are touting their love for him People are talking about it to death Yeah I’m so sorry to do What I’m probably accusing you of I’m so sorry for you I’m not here to beg But what’s wrong with me is that one step ahead Is another one of me Its just everywhere I go People are shouting their love for him Painting Madonna and child and him People are talking about it to death I’m so sorry to do What I’m probably accusing you of I’m so sorry for you Cuz I probably put you through it I’m so sorry for you You only shot me

I’m not pointing but I’m looking at you You must want something I’m not saying that its easy to do You must want something Idle hands are the devils tools You must want something You must need something You must want something good Go on and get that good Go on and get it I’m not vicious but I’m picking on you You must want something

Pariah 03:21
Don’t hate me Now that you know who to blame Sounds risky You never could catch a break They want asylum from your stupidity They want the tide to come wash your winnings Fall swiftly down from the branches of grace Die empty All of the good will is drained They want to siphon your soul completely They want the bile to come up on TV If they take you alive You’ll be tried on air at 8 at night You’ll get up and fall asleep in a different world Plastered on the street by an angry god Look unflattering if you care to look Accosted verbally until they bleed everything from you Poor me I’m such a goddamn rolly polly bitch So sorry take my life and we’ll get on with it But they crow “he’s a witch, Xylophone with no pitch” But you know we’re not so different Thats exactly why you’re scared to get up to fall asleep Junk parts sold for cheap Now so obsolete Forever be discreet Until they bleed everything from you

I’m feeling the pressure Beginning to fold And if it breaks me I don’t know how I get up A pretty good guess It will or it won’t Everything’s changing I don’t know what I don’t know I’m seeing through dry eyes A vision assault And when I check it I’m in shock back to the womb Hey they’re coming in the thick of the calm They’re coming around us like there’s an army moving in Give me the jist Save me the time I don’t care While we’re on the subject why not take the fall? You’re on my side why not take the fall?
6.
Everything is so do or die There’s no difference between what I want And the things that I have to do Every day is an all out war Why’d I think that I could quell it all Every minute is a day gone by Every picture is a place to hide Every digit is a hand held high Why’d I think that I could hold my own I didn’t pick and now I have to X-ray vision of a neon sign Quick precision in a space too wide Now she’s thinking I’m so uptight Walk it back into a war of words Point it out I guess I made you look

How did you happen to know my school? You’ve been watching me fly searchlights around the moon We don’t eat among our peers I could never find someone for me Lately I’ve been finding myself feeling pretty in an awful way Right about the time I sign on I see the pores aglow and I don’t know if its the wrong way to cope Is this the wrong way to cope? How should I know? How did you ask and blow my cool? No one sees me like you almost do If we just give it all this year We might finally find some time to sleep Lately I’ve been finding myself feeling pretty in an awful way Right about the time I sign on Like a house on fire I’m feeling pretty in an awful way Like a five and dime I’m here when you want a change from what you have at home

Lionshare 03:09
We were mistaken as friends When we first met As long as we kept Up with the changing times You’re a thrill ride But I don’t feel afraid I’m taking a walk Vines of street chalk Trail my gait You do realize That no I can’t sigh If I don’t feel at ease Every high road bears the lion’s share of the work There’s not gonna be some fanfare for you Because now they’re looking away There were two different guys In the span of a nighttime On my watch No I can’t be your bunt I feel like a runt Because I so want to be big Do you see the signs? Lay it all on the line Put your money on me And then you will see That every guy that you want Feels like a lock Acts like a cop Ready or not Its on You know I will fight the one thing I can’t change Now they’re looking your way

Arrowhead 02:45
Blind the beast And skin his hyde Use every piece Don’t waste an eye I'd give anything To finally see With naked eyes The possum swing The upward slide Dreadful things Materialize Follow me through vectored lines Find the thing thats on your mind Sight unseen its always right Don’t run for cover Even if you can Blind the beast And skin his hyde Use every piece Don’t wasted an eye Stop to think to save his life I’m an arrowhead

Flypaper 03:50
The anthem of the sorry We humbly repent There’s someone in the audience that knows I’m full of shit I know some of its lazy and then some of its fair And the two get stuck together every time You ever talk to Polly? She’s always such a dear She has a way of saying things So earnest and sincere Public speaking is the way to success Yeah the two get stuck together every time We’re not moving in a sane direction I was the fool to think lots of people won’t ask why The devil isn’t sorry His crocodile tears Turn Elmo into Stalin Grover into Blair And then its Murder Murder Its the only thing fair Yeah the two get stuck together every time
12.
Don’t beat around it For too long Or I won’t be the first to know Intensify it Keeping all my vitals up They’ve been sleeping since the age of one Now we’re speaking in a strange tongue You criticize me No halo Leave me with a busted harp You can’t deny me You’re too slow Basking in the Revel’s glow You’ve been cheating since you fell in love Someone mixed the letters up And buried the rosetta stone

Leviathan 03:48
I’m still shaking off my dreams of you The buzzing in my head Saw your status Ignore me Lonely world I’m a dick You know I hope this blows over Your love I don’t get It seems at odds If I don’t take up an offering from you You’ll bloody up my street Coming down on your conscience I only lied just a bit You know I’m afraid of flaws Here in the sun Never enough You had the chance to say all that you wanted Now I’m a one man show Better than being alone You know that I won’t get up I’ll just pull you down You have a right to fear I won’t feel anything

All Smiles 02:36
Here we are again Auld Lang Syne Another closer Waiting on the end As our lives keep growing closer Maybe now you’ll bend Just one look And then its over Shouldn’t be sad all the time Shouldn’t be wandering Blinky you’re a friend But I hope I’m something other Maybe we could blend Both our lives and all our mothers and brothers History pretends to tell time then supernova
