Pretty World 02:52
Here it comes. There it goes. If you want to find something look from above. It's a pretty world when you're flying away from the sun. In our time we're inclined. The house becomes a haven and the grass turns to wine. It’s a little slow but we’re making it so far. Red light flashes in the night. Raise our hands up towards the light. In our head we pretend to be above the torture that we made to save the dead. It’s a middle road and we’re only along for the ride. In our minds we've been blind to the brutal insurrection of the passing of our times. It's a pretty world when you stop what you do to yourself. Do you know just what is right. It’ll never be what we see.

Fictions 03:42
Is it known how the wind blows in a lighting storm? Thunder roll, scattered snow through the window, a disaster zone. Stay with me it won’t take long. Keep me sheltered from wind and fog. Burn my eyes deep inside your mind. I give up. Is it known how much dough you’ve been holding on like a rusty thorn. It’s your home and the one thing that makes you fall. A familiar call.

A Little Bit 03:30
We've been living here, the time's been passing. Nothing's penetrating our young madness. Please come home and entertain. Everyone has gone to far off places. We're the only ones with smiling faces, hanging behind trees and leaves. Take back just a little bit. Finding balance is just all too tempting... pushing further to another ending. We've put out our alms and leaves. Anyway we choose it turns up short now and the possibilities won't run out. I've been holding on too long.

To Sea 03:25
There’s nothing to see here. A lamp and a blank stare. The leaves and the dirt say why. You breathe on your own time, it counts towards your next life. The sound escapes tonight. In these quiet times I try to push aside the voices in my mind. But I was blind to see everything I read is holding on to me. Yell back, but nobody’s listening now. There’s something wrong she said. That’s not what the book said. The part on the last page. It changes the way I think. And all of the trees shake. The synapse has gone blank. So brief is the way we see.

21st Century 03:18
Twenty-first century letdown. Twenty-two ways around it. Who forgot the shotgun? Somebody decided to find it. First trip was the greatest. Throw him overboard to save this. The first trip was the greatest time. What they wanted to find was on the other side. Nobody knew the survival would have to be so primal. Searching without conscience. Anyway around you admit it.
6.
Picture me here alone in my fear. I see nothing. Eyes disappear, like breath on a mirror and it's nothing. Days go by but still I wonder why. No one takes the time to stop and imagine why. I'm in dark. You stop and you start in the beginning. Picture me here alone in my fear. I see nothing.
7.
Take this man away. I’ve been trying not to see another way. It gets hard sometimes when life is not the same. Make me stay awake. I’ve been burning candles at both ends today. And the lines get longer, blurring into space. Here comes my old shame. I’ve been working on it for ten years to date. It gets hard sometimes because life will rack your brain. Here’s where I refrain. I quit keeping up and playing all of those games. I feel safer now that it’s all gone away. I don’t need to wait for nothing more. I can do this better on my own.
8.
So Something 04:44
No matter where you are. No matter when you come running. You're talking from your hip. You're making up a certain something and it slips to silence. Hold on, be strong. Forget about that. Time won't know what we don't show. It's where we're at. I don't know what's happening to me. Something breaks my curiosity. We bring it back together. Anywhere you are, I don’t like where you’re going. Anywhere you go, I'm behind you, you know.
9.
First you were here. Then you went over. When you went over they were supporters. It's been a year since you went over. Everything's harder. Where'd you go? Try too hard to change the ways of another. It's been unclear how this will end now. When you come home now, will it be denial? Four years of fear for your revival. A man with a letter closes this trial.
10.
The Falcon 03:51
Did you see the tree of money? Did you know exactly what it's meant to be? Red light, green light, no fair. Red light, green light, who cares? Did you know about the things that you loathe? Did you know exactly where it's meant to go? Right now all hope is gone, I’m holding on and you won’t ever know. Did you see the tree of money? Is it half as tempting as you thought it would be?
