Sun Sleep 02:49
No pain will permeate my membrane As we round the bend Cold sleep, I'm slipping on the bus ride Dreaming of my friends He waits around, the weights around his sinking chest Won't leave my thoughts, I'll drop a line, it's for the best
2.
Avent Ferry 03:29
There's no cell phone service in this car I don't know where we even are Just drive down avent ferry road and find a place that's left to go Found that little place across the way There's moving water melting clay As all the neurons fire backwards through my brain It's a lunatic brigade No one's asking us to play It's a happy fool parade No one's forcing us to stay I got twisted up a while ago When everything was dull and slow And you'll get tangled too as everybody tends to do It's a lunatic brigade No one's asking us to play It's a happy fool parade No one's forcing us to stay
3.
There's a re-run on the flatscreen Let it repeat today Cuz I can feel it rotting us away And I can't tell if you need me to stay I felt it tremble through my bones So happy I need it more than you could know So happy There's an old room in the corner Where she sat every day Now we've gone and locked it all away You're a big shot with a soft spot Could you show it to me Shadows over everything you see I can see it bursting at the seams You felt a tremble through your bones so happy You need it more than I could know So happy
4.
Disarm 02:54
You are such a freak I think you wanna hurt me I see it in your eyes burning like a sunrise I dont mean you harm There's nothing here to disarm I'm heading out of town I bet you'll never make it out I'll keep every word of this from your ears Scratch it on a page and let it stay here Saw you in my spot Making noise in the parking lot Screaming for your life Something doesn't feel quite right I'll keep every word of this from your ears Scratch it on a page and let it stay here You've gotta fix everything til it fits your view I'm on the fence cuz I know that im just like you
5.
I fell into a hole and I don't wanna climb right back I fell out of control and I don't wanna get it back
6.
He's trapped in a body Moved away to find his mind Where they can manufacture dreams Got a call from his mommy Wasn't everything it seemed Nobody's around him Took the weight off of his back And now he's seen enough to know With no one to chase him He just don't know where to go Has it ever hit you We're not meant to be this free Has it ever hit you Cuz I know it's been hitting me He'll turn it around now You know there's nothing he can't face Just winces and tells you he's doing great Wakes up in a frenzy He's getting tired of his fate
7.
You Should 02:03
You should never hold your breath You should really get some rest You should take a look around All of us have got it figured out
8.
Sorted Out 03:37
Puncture in the side Punched in through the wall It's looking back across the stairs I wonder why I put it there There's nothing here To keep you occupied without those fears They've become so clear I'm unprepared All that I can be is running scared But it's waiting there Someone might move in A few years down the road And they will never understand The little boy who hurt his hand Just help me please Pack my bags and put me on the street I guess I'm free Don't worry now Everything will all be sorted out I just don't see how

Devil Kid 03:35
I'm treading on dusty shoes Keepin up with your deadbeat blues I'm cooking up something new If I follow through I'll mess around with golden hair Hell maybe it would go somewhere Hell maybe it would bite my back Never hurt like that Now he's standing on my shoulder As we pass through town Gonna tell me what I oughta do And he won't come down Little Devil Kid
11.
Hologram 02:42
All these pieces, they wont fall into place convoluted, but all these people play Something tells me that you can really connect to what i am Somethin tells me that you might lend a hand I am trying to look away from this Flashing blue glow That caught me in a glimpse could you come around, pull me out of this chair and make me care Snap your fingers and knock me out of this stare Somethin tells me I'm a hologram Held together by some ironic hand You're projecting across my view I wish I knew what I could say to you
12.
Pony 05:15
Come on empty-handed you've got bags below your eyes Come on empty-handed walk the block for your supply I've got the day to spend on all my fruitless occupations And when it's dark we'll run and barely make it to the station I am empty-handed just like everyone I know Try to understand what makes me tick until I blow Just have a smoke and talk until it gets too boring And when it seems surreal I'm only making up a story Cuz I'm a one-trick pony
13.
The Noun 03:35
There's some kind of noun Bouncin around in my head Kicking me down Wish I could murder it dead Stuck in my seat Dark tunnels under the street You're callin my name I look back and know who to blame Don't take my hand This line in the sand is the last I will draw Leaves hit the ground and nothing has changed here today Fumble around Can't find the right thing to say Don't take my hand This line in the sand is the last that I will draw Don't look to me I've severed the ties and im drifting back to sleep
