Bad Bloom
05:27
|
|||
|
Sunflower, was in bloom
The hour, realized noon
She came, and had no time
To blow us all a friendly goodbye
Before we reached the vines
To climb to the sun where we can fly
Is the sense in even waiting for some wind
Is there sense in tangling with the kites again
Black tunnel, leads to a stream
Fragile whispers shouldn't hold back the screams
White clouds are for us
to change into a hundred million snowflakes
while you're dreaming
Or while you're awake
We'll all come together with the sound
What's the sense in turning over a new leaf
A new leaf
Where's the hand that takes away
All the grief, all the grief
Black tunnel, leads to a stream
Fragile whispers shouldn't hold back the scream
White clouds are for us
to change into a hundred million
hundred million hundred million hundred million hundred million
Oh Man Wow
Sunflower in bloom
The hour realized
noon oak tree
Had no time to tell us all a friendly goodby
We blow to the earth so we can die.
Bark it out
What's the sense
Of turning over a leaf
Where the hand that takes away
All the grief is the seed and it's planted overnight
Or is it just another bad bloom
It's bad It's bad It's bad It's bad

Find The Keys
04:29
|

I found so many doors I want to look inside
Can you tell me where I'd Find The Keys
Cause I've been watching this worthless piece of grime
I pretended not to notice it was me
And it just seems fitting that I find out who I'm going to be
Turn the keys and look inside and see if I see me
Excuse me can you tell me
Where I'd find the keys
I wanna take a step away
Get rid of this disease
Excuse me I don't think I'm
Thin enough to squeeze
Under to the other side
So help me find the keys
I found so many doors I want to open wide
Can you show me how I'd have the means
Cause I have waited for just the right time
To reveal the real me
And it just seems such a shame to spend
So much time looking for the keys
Its my subconscious mind
Afraid what I might see
So I'm hiding all the keys
Hiding them from me
So I can't open up and see what I might see
Excuse me can you tell me
Where I'd find the keys
I wanna take a step away
Get rid of this disease
Excuse me I don't think I'm
Thin enough to squeeze
Under to the other side
So help me find the keys

Penny In My Head
03:45
|

Put a coin in me
Put a penny in my head
I’m just lying here useless
Without a coin in my head
Did you hear what I said?
If you want me to stand up
And take you by the arm and fight
And keep you out of sight
Just put a penny in my head
Don’t try to wake me instead
Put a coin in me
Put a penny in my head
I’m just lying here useless
Without a coin in my head
Did you hear what I said?
If you want me to get over this hysteria
And rid myself of fear
You’ll have to let it run its course
So stick this in my ear
Put a coin in me
Put a penny in my head
I’m just lying here useless
Without a coin in my head
Did you hear what I said?
If you expect me to outgrow this test tube
To reach a normal size
Take the coins you have there
And stick them in my eyes
Put a coin in me
Put a penny in my head
I’m just lying here useless
Without a coin in my head
Did you hear what I said?
If you want me to stand up
And take you by the arm and fight
And keep you out of sight
Just put a penny in my head
Don’t try to wake me instead
Put a coin in me
Put a penny in my head
I’m just lying here useless
Without a coin in my head
Did you hear what I said
Run around in circles
Feel spinning in my head
Things everyone outgrows
Like falling out of bed
Shove this up my nose
Put a coin in me
Put a penny in my head
I’m just lying here useless
Without a coin in my head
Did you hear what I said

Power
03:37
|
|||
|
Give me the power
To focus the unclear
To make me aware of things I'm not finding here
How will I interpret, the undefined.
Some mathematical figure
Some mathematical figure
Can I discover the miracle.
Without disregarding my own survival.
This blank look on my face.
Misunderstanding why it's all out of reach.
A reason for denial.
And sometimes knowing how little I know.
Makes it so much harder so much harder to smile.
If I was aware of the things I wanted.
I may not take for granted the things I have.
If I was aware of the things I wanted.
I may not take for granted the things I need.
Will I have to reach beyond my being.
To see what, to see what I'm not seeing.
Finally fell selflessness.
Unconsumed by greed.
Unconsumed by greed
You got, you got to
Give me the power
Give me the power

Simons Gate
02:46
|

|
Drink from the goblet if you’re able
Ignite the flame and waste your time
And stand on the master’s table
The two of us are here
Now one must disappear
If we’re going to be at Simons Gate
We must make this point clear
She parted her legs so gently
That my eyes appeared underneath her seat
She didn’t know why

Landforms

One day you move out all the trash. Next day they send it all back
Seems the only thing they'll take. Is whatever will break our backs
You're moving the load for someone else
You're making the stuff that don't belong
You're hurt and you're sore and your spine is gone
You're obviously headed for big trouble
There once was a mountain that I adored
It reached as far as the wall
The peaks were real sharp, the valleys deep
We all were afraid of the quantum leap
Now that it's gone, there's nothing around
Just the hair off the scalp of the dried up ground
You can't replace what keeps getting whacked
But to start a new one, the old one must be hacked
You look for life but nothing's there. The sound of death is everywhere
You pull up your belt but you don't care. That the onslaught has just begun
Seems the only thing they'll take. Is whatever will break our backs
You're moving the load for someone else. You're making the stuff that don't belong
You're hurt and you're sore and your spine is gone
You're obviously headed for big trouble
There once was a mountain that I adored. It reached as far as the wall
The peaks were real sharp, the valleys deep. We all were afraid of the quantum leap
Now that it's gone, there's nothing around
Just the hair off the scalp of the dried up ground
You can't replace what keeps getting whacked
But to start a new one, the old one must be hacked
You look for life but nothing's there. The sound of death is everywhere
You pull up your belt but you don't care. That the onslaught has just begun
The sight of it gives you into fate. You scream 'til your mind begins to grate
Landfills are here, we're out of time. The onslaught has just begun
We feel like we've all been baked
Finally something that breaks our backs
We're just the load for someone else
We're the stuff that don't belong
I'm sore and I'm hurt and my spine is gone
I'm obviously headed for big trouble
There once was a mountain that I adored
It reached as far as the wall
The peaks were real sharp, the valleys deep
We all were afraid of the quantum leap
Now that it's gone, there's nothing around
Just the hair off the scalp of the dried up ground
You can't replace what keeps getting whacked
But to start a new one, the old one must be hacked
You look for life but nothing's there. The sound of death is everywhere
You pull up your belt but you don't care
That the onslaught has just begun. The onslaught has just begun
The onslaught has just begun. The onslaught has just begun

Dear
04:44
|

|
Out of the gate
And then she calls you on the phone... whone
Miles away
And she's already on the phone
Lying all day
And she's already on the phone... whoa oa
She's miles away, she saved the day
But you've already left for home
You look afraid at the way
That she's playing the game
So out of line that you keep saying
She's gonna throw it all away
Seconds before, she calls me Dear
Seconds before, seconds before, she calls me Dear
Life here, everything's alright
Even though you're trying to dispose of it
Seconds before, she calls me
Dear
Seconds before, seconds before, she calls me
Dear
Life here, waiting in my arms
Swing the door
You're waiting for excitement
And fire
There's a fire!

Levy The Giant

Eating my meals, see how it feels
The food network can be so brown
Pick up all the easy notes
The tote I aim to seize now
Easily revealed time has been sealed
Forecast on one of your shores man
Eating Ice cream at the park
And in the other side of dark
They're dying, oh they're dying
Run to the unknown circle to find my way around here
Parasail to the bottom of the river
Parachute browns been since here.
Levy, levy carry on me. I'll be the giant called fear
Eating Ice cream in your room
And it's only half past noon
They're dying, oh they're dying

Lookout
02:52
|

|
Finding out that things are in the wrong places.
Not where they were last seen.
Coming at us are we on the wrong path.
Are there enough spaces
Lookout
Getting nearer to a faraway plan
See a place, a place arranging.
Lookout
Dreaming did I see it
Did I waste all last week looking out.
Where the hell is it hiding
Lookout
Setting a course for faraway places.
We need someone guiding, is someone guiding us
Lookout

Jealous Sisters
04:29
|
|||
|
Distilled vision of secrecy
Reminds me of a parting sea
It brought me to a waxed in cave
Melted down walls and started to shave
Expecting ladies left and right
I pick the lotion of loveless fright
Whistling tunes of I Bone
Skeletal harmony, mysterious tone
The figure beside me is a Jealous Sister
The picture is drawn in my mind
Her speech is sizzling like a blister
A Jealous Sister's born blind
The figure beside me is a Jealous Sister
The picture is drawn in my mind
Her speech is sizzling like a blister
A Jealous Sister's born blind
The figure beside me is a Jealous Sister
The picture is drawn in my mind
Her speech is sizzling like a blister
A Jealous Sister's born blind
Run away, run run run away
The fork she holds is hot
Climb in the cosmic cupboard
Or are your instincts shot
She breeds on cool water
Feeds on your lies
She's not my sister
Does she have your family ties?
