In the fragments of our world, Where the toll collectors twirl, There's a silence there, That shapes all of the atmosphere. There's a price that you must pay. See it now or slip away, Up to the shiny lights, Which rest above your bed at night. You want to feel And you want life to be so real Inside the closets of your bedroom Sit the thoughts that you neglect and fight You turn around And you put both feet on the ground But life is not an arrow It's a collection of thoughts and sights In the grave and in the womb In the amaryllis bloom Thoughts of certainty Are clinging to a balcony Of the house where you once lived As a calm collected kid Coddled by a backlit Case of curiosity You want to breathe And you want to pretend your free With your coffee and your alcohol You trace the paintings on the wall Inside your brain Where some silhouettes remain Where it's easy to add color But the shapes are not so flexible

Drugs 01:43
when you want to die and you've got no reason why you're just too warm in the wintertime and too cold in the summer hot food on the table and it's seasoned so well you're not living lies, you're brain it isn't fried you've got a decent paying job, wear whatever pants you want though you need a collar, no one is yanking you around do you need drugs? do you need love? frogs in your gene pool, holes in your swimsuit everybody's naked and they're laughing at your clothes can always take your pants off, can't always put them back on do you need drugs? do you need love? you had 'em both so you put 'em together but that didn't work do you need time? it's staining your hands your wasting far too much of it acting like a reasonable man so do you need drugs? do you need drugs?

it's such a strange thing the world that we live in is turning just like our stomachs when we think about the world as all of its dirty dealings unfurl we start to think about breakfast and we just accept it and forget it it's such a strange thing the world that we live in is our own but it's no fun without the people that we know people who are so obviously part of the problem that's why we can't solve them we've got too many friends but i don't want to know don't want to know why are you looking at me like that? it's such a strange thing we all think we have at least a few answers to questions we hope someday someone will ask us when they finally ask us, we just laugh when it's not funny it's not that funny it's such a strange thing
4.
I'm walking to the store I'm walking to my home Because I have nothing to look forward to anymore The days go by sitting inside Drinking coffee, drinking tea The night is right in front of me I see it I see it, it's right in front of me I have nothing to look forward to anymore
5.
I Was A Boy 02:09
I was a boy when you were with me all of the time. Ran through the woods, and felt something prickly. You covered my eyes. And when the rain ruined the stale scenes, you showed me moonlight. Now I can't get back to these old dreams, and it torments my mind.
6.
You take your thoughts you spin them all around Outside you're naked spitting seeds on the ground Your mouth's a motor without gasoline They say your mind's an empty magazine You were a boy inside a fax machine They tied your hands together beside the stream Untethered wire and a bloody dream You cut the cords and you split the seams The radio is screaming through the hall You bend your back and put your head through the wall This is the story of disprudent law You're spitting fire through a straw When you grew up they taught you how to stand They say you're only what they can understand Your actions tell a simple story Yet you're spitting fire through a straw And now the candle's flame is burning out You want to laugh, but it comes out as a shout When you say "yes" they all hear no When you say "stay" they all hear go And still you're spitting fire through a straw
7.
I can feel it in the air Pulsing through my bones and through my hair The lights seem so bright And my muscles are tight For the fear of disappointing And my teeth have grown so tall From the ceiling to the bathroom stall The weight on my shoulders My thoughts just grow older The fear of disappointing And my fingers start to sweat There's a corpse behind the TV set The pixels glow bright And discourage the fight For the fear of disappointing
8.
Wrong 01:54
See how the scent of cold air Brings pigeons to the floor My mail man he don't care He just paper-coats the door And things will always end up wrong The bill collector's stoned-stare Sits soft against my skull My memory has gone bare Not a whisper in the hall And things will always end up wrong This is a song to break skin...
9.
Ocean 03:59
In the morning I was a sailor I saw some statues made of stone I had slipped onto this ship just like a baby in a womb And I heard the words you told me blue and green And I felt the icy hand beneath the seam But the Ocean just never seemed so blue No, the Ocean just really isn't that blue I was built beneath a shadow Hell, we were all born inside a ring And the dice we roll will fall apart as naked ladies sing And the children write their secrets on the wall For all to read, but especially for ma and for pa But the Ocean just never seemed so blue No, the Ocean just really isn't that blue
10.
Slow Down 02:15
When it's early in the morning And the light ain't yet coming in You gotta slow down babe, don't ya? When everyone around you is looking at this and that Things get to moving so fast You gotta slow down, don't ya? We think we know the way the world it aught to move If a then b if b then c and so on Slow down, won't ya?
11.
In the morning when the day lies open There's a feeling that requires motion and sight The sensory bells Jingling through the warehouses And all of the hollow spaces Fuel for the fire to burn Again In the morning when the day lies open All the canary shells are broken The sight of something so strange Bring back the autumn branches And the silent swing of axes Take back your record player blues Today In the morning when the day lies open There's a certain shape to your emotion That's clear and structured like stone Burn down those hanging branches I ain't got thoughts of old romances Turn your speakers on and open up the door
12.
Cage 01:54
in my cage my big beautiful cage i go for walks whenever i want i've got space in my cage my big beautiful cage in my cage my big beautiful cage cover it in sheets whenever i need sleep i snuggle up in these chains these long luxurious chains in my cage my big beautiful cage
13.
Cynical Room 02:21
Each day we rise together And then we chop our legs off We find the scarlet secrets That bind our bones together We will be smiling sweetly Inside our cynical room We craft these hopeless moments We think it's predetermined We can't explain our sorrow We'll wait until tomorrow Where we can lock the door and Hide in our cynical room With all our facts and figures With all the silent motion There ain't no talking to us Our ears don't like emotions We sit together and laugh Inside our cynical room
14.
I've been thinking The walls are falling down And through the air we go We've been drinking The walls are falling down And through the air we go The birds have spoken The walls are falling down And through the air we go
15.
Who said we'd understand Said there's a master plan They say we lie beneath you but If I saw you sitting upright In a chair that I know well I don't think that I would believe in you And if I saw you in a store Or heard you in a song that I sung before I don't think that I would believe in you I went to the store last night Bought me a magazine I read what was inside It was telling tales of greed Women who steal and men who fiend I don't think that I believe in you And when the fall of kingdoms comes Who will be standing in the sun? I don't think that I believe in you
16.
Reprise 01:16
I have nothing to look forward to anymore
17.
Am I singing to the trees Just above my windowpane Ever softly and serene As a bluebird spreads its wings In a thought that summer brings? Am I singing to the wind As it shifts and slithers by All across my neighborhood And up into the sky Then back down to the ground As I sit and spin around? I guess I must be singing to the rain. Am I singing to the streets And their tarnished yellow musk And that lady on her stoop And the money she will busk And the pain inside her smile? Am I singing to the church And its loyal humble folks Who are following a ghost And who cannot take a joke In the deep December hours On a bridge outside of town? I guess I must be singing to the rain.

Keychain 02:28
jiggle, jiggle, jiggle, jiggle i've got far too many keys on my key chain poking holes in the pockets of my dress pants standing out in front of a locked door trying to remember which one it is A44 and F19 A27 but just for 203 where is my A3? it's the one i always need putting it in the slot but it's actually A100 hey, mr. janitor what can i get you for your master? i've got far too many keys on my key chain poking holes in the pockets of my dress pants standing out in front of a locked door trying to remember which one it is flipping through the colors and numbers the numbers and colors clockwise or counter? the square or the round one? i jiggle and i jiggle and i jiggle away feels like i jiggle all day
19.
Bb 02:02
Lately I've been lost Darkness seeps through cracks and grows Stuttering sideways home Wade Through rocks Drifting through the summer air Bring back the silence there Wait You're wrong Darkness lives inside your skull Stuttering sideways home
20.
Hammer 02:16
give me a hammer, i'll sculpt you a day you'll sleep well that night and won't feel the pain in your hands the cracks in your plan happy people are just good actors early next morning you're hammering away you stepping and look, you're getting some place that night you toss and you turn happy people are just good actors the dentist does well, business it booming with chemical gels, smiles improving still he can't sleep, he's hammering holes in his prison of teeth give me a hammer, i'll hammer your head where the brains fall out, i'll fill it with bread and i'll butter you up happy people are just good actors
21.
You 01:33
You came over on a Friday night. Your lips looked bright against the melting moon.
