Little Scar 02:46
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Can I suggest something smart something straight from the heart? put me out of your mind forget this place and time Xxxxxx The way you cared no matter what left a little scar where I once thought for sure was a hole and not a heart Xxxxxx - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Glass Eye 02:39
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Faces everywhere smiling glass-eyed they don't know whats looking for them Smooth shapes new colors faster and faster closer together cant let go but I cant stay either maybe just melt into a perfect connection Signals tingling fingers itching cant pull back and whose business is it? So sure of what is coming halcyon days of problems solved a little faith in modern appliances modern perfection in a perfect connection Faces everywhere smiling glass-eyed they don't know whats looking for them - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - We used to throw sticks and stones trying to hit the older kids we never missed but if we did we'd still run like they hit The games we'd play to fill our days running fast we scared ourselves to laugh everything was funny with danger at our backs Camouflaged out of dodge they couldn't catch us if they tried but if they did we'd take our hits and pretend we'd never … The games we'd play to fill our days running fast we scared ourselves to laugh everything was funny with danger at our backs - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - A sun is rising out of your face I can see it, I can see it You glow when you smile laugh like the sun exploding into morning Cross my heart hope to die if I don't see your face tonight hope that doesn't sound too weird but honesty is crystal clear Lets tie a string to both of our hearts And if we get lost our orbits come undone we can tie that string into a knot Cross my heart hope to die if I don't see your face tonight hope that doesn’t sound too weird but honesty is crystal clear - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Memories are tricky things they don't wait for anything In the car, in the mall making diner, waiting for a call They just hit you on the spot things you never wanted in your thoughts But what the fuck, just go with it at least you have a mind that gives a shit The good with the bad the good with the bad enjoy what you can enjoy what you can Wakes you up from a dream to show you something you didn't need to see Guilt, regret, embarrassment useless things, just get over it The good with the bad the good with the bad enjoy what you can enjoy what you can - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Pick up stones and throw them at the sun hit it, it will shatter like a bulb stretch your arm out to the moon draw it in close to you Fall asleep and when you dream tell me what it is you see a thousand years of peaceful nights under your soft light Whisper in a crater I am here no matter what you say not going anywhere the day is months or years from the dawn soft light in darkness and calm Fall asleep and when you dream tell me what it is you see a thousand years of peaceful nights under your soft light Forget the day that came before If you leave you know I'll understand but if you stay my heart will be at rest damn the day its frenzied heart attack if you leave you know I'll want you back Fall asleep when you leave you know exactly what I'll see a thousand years of peaceful nights under your soft light - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Ghost 03:18
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - In the darkness of the night see a spirit wandering catch it in a net throw it in a bag and take it home with us We don't mean you any harm this is good for the both of us we can hide under the bed from all of our boring friends Watching out the window at moonlit swaying trees lonely stars and satellites miss your old life sending chills down the spines of sensitives We don't mean you any harm this is good for the both of us we can hide under the bed from all of our boring friends - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Tiptoe 03:06
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Sheepskin slip right in glove to mitt perfect fit Tiptoe nice and slow smile when you're supposed to smile bite your tongue In a little time, a little time you will fit right in nobody will recognize the game that you've been playing Make sure the buttons stay done the zipper stays up and your tongue stays dumb In a little time, a little time you will fit right in nobody will recognize the game that you've been playing - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Sharpen the edge keep tabs on dull as it happens need to cut through tomato skins don't wanna watch for slippery surfaces No I cant deny it there are things we’ll always need things we’ll always need Feels like a cure it feels like a cure as simple as its pure Hand washed and dried hear the ringing down the summer street tonight that's my idea of making a living as then and now and could be forever No I cant deny it there are things we’ll always need things we’ll always need Feels like a cure it feels like a cure as simple as its pure - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Peaceful 02:59
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - The wind's blowing hard singing notes in its own key in a song to bend and break mighty trees a song to sing you asleep A howling lullaby The snow in your eyes in the cones of streetlights headlong into waves of stars the calm of a winter storm A fierce kind of peace In the seconds before the lights go out you thank the wind and the snow - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
