Crushin' 03:16
I'd shine sweeter than any ring on your finger If you'd let me into your life (gone overboard, I'm drowning and) If you're still around when I need you I'd call it love and that's enough for me I don't want to be your worst enemy but if it means you'll keep me closer, I'll abide You don't like to call it love never going to give you up You don't have to call this love don't want to give it up Taken over by night things Cats in the kingdom in the palace of trees Acid on the tip of your tongue Meet me at the bottom of your lungs Dreaming while we're still awake One thing I can't seem to take is when the chemicals collide and I stop looking for the answer-- Embrace this open space You don't like to call it love never going to give you up You don't have to call this love now I'm going to live it up Never been so fully confused Never been so fully consumed-- Holy, and all your wild things feel so fit to me

poured over gentle is the morning sun mixing in with moonbeams it's only just begun accidental seance music raise the dead i love your psychic head open my palms can i lay with you there? beach glass an answer oh your hair spirals counter clockwise magic is everywhere (that you are) starfish out of water soft as bunnies' hair trees all comb the skyline our every breath a prayer poured over gorgeous as the morning sun

Feather Hunt 03:08
i know my brain's been bleeding i think it's not from sleeping waiting on the slow stab of day i thought i had something to say we've all got superstitions i love when you ask me to stay you're far out untouchable lately far out ancients are calling me i know my brain's been bleeding i think it's not from sleeping i'll stay up with you i'd wake up for you for anything blurring by like busy's the thing to be unraveling emotions feel me really i know my brain's been bleeding i think it's not from sleeping i just can't control myself i see you are breaking your shell it's close enough to touch why waste it

So Soft 02:54
you're so soft to the touch with tangible tangerine tree rings round your fingers that tell of how many Summer suns seen since the desert's been blooming in form and in color, in light caught in the desert high come up empty handed if you've lost your mind here's to happy landings absconded heart strings in a paper bag tune in to midnight and its ultra-black don't play games with tender hearts nobody likes that kind of smart

All that I've wanted in the passing years of life was to try and make you happy and to look in your eyes every once in a while as I sit by your side I confess it's pathetic how I romanticize but I need rose colored glasses just to survive and I don't know what's right other than what's right now You build me up from nothing then you made my heart your home filled with so much love and I still want to see it grow into something that's immune to all this sadness I want you always now forever after This goes on and on and on and on and on I don't know what's right other than what's right now You sent for me by satellite I don't feel like I'm so bright-- demons of the day clouds all plump and gray I want to I want you I want to let it out

Barefoot 02:56
i can't really seem to relate to people of today if life is just an empty bottle watch it drift away your soul matters it's always glowing and you're building patterns that keep on growing and it's not about to stop someone called the cops and now i'm reaching for the sky i feel it washing over me nighttime brings such clarity under a blanket of breeding stars the answer's always with you no matter where you are your soul matters it's always glowing and you're building patterns and it's not about to stop someone called the cops and now i'm reaching for the gun i can hardly seem to get by but still i try and try got a conscience like a tyrant more dead than alive and what matters is always showing itself your brain scatters it's over flowing is it ever going to stop? back to planting crops and watch them reaching for the sky

it's a long journey from seed to bloom days branch patiently until they're heavy with fruit caught in the beat of the summer locked in the cinder-block suburbs i don't want to need a lover i'll never meet another quite like you i don't really care what happens as long as i can be your friend i won't hold your heart captive we will always have to pretend...

... and i'm not so eloquent to keep from growing old open book of spells again to fight the common cold shame's coming over with her sparkling knives painfully sober we keep things bottled inside i want you to know that you're truly wonderful and i can't quantify it undeniably with science but i know, deep down you're in for something cool come time to lay your head down time to let it go leave it, let it echo try to let it grow it never stops your lips make a smile 3 o'clock stay for a while or let's go together now more than ever

Photogenetic 03:14
30 counts of man-slaughter wrapped up in my pocket just want to feel good all the time 20 years in prison, pressed, floating through my lungs who went and made it a crime? i don't want to hurt nobody i just want to make it alright i don't want to hurt nobody, no just want to make you feel fine little bits of sunshine melting on my tongue who knew we would get so high i feel it on my skin and taste it in my brain and know that i'm ready to change magic is the only explanation for what's happening the beauty and the bliss of today i don't want to hurt nobody i just want to make it alright i don't want to hurt nobody, no just want to make you feel fine Vampires like to stay hidden from the light the wooden stakes too sharp, a coffin's so heavy sun is too bright, blank photographs are framed and all of these things you see before your eyes are unbelievable and so surreal

we're all such fragile machines your soul don't want to stay clean kite string caught in a tree wait for the pull of the breeze you know that you ought to let go of what's holding you back don't want your heart to attack you from the inside dig through your pockets looking for the time tin foil conscience why'd you do the crime no bottles, no wires you've got their poison in your mind know that you really ought to set it free like water rise green eyed girl you're going home knowing that your life is all a poem

Oh Brother 03:16
little sister like her mother bigger picture they are eachother always something with you brother it's not one drink it's another watch where you step why oh why, my brotherman did life not turn out as we may have planned? fell on through like i always seem to do touchy feelings we've all got moods and at my best i know that we're all going to be okay i feel it in the sun, the night, the clouds up in my brain as we grow up we'll have each other as our hearts grow full of friends and lovers

Palm 03:09
palm trees stand high speak language of night burn on tender flame twirl like turntables inhale life flowers at sunset i'm closing my eyes (lost in the clouds above) don't die i want you alive & don't you bring me down i'm happy with no feet on the ground concrete and satellites oranges in rain the leaves are all changing i can't stay the same don't die i want you alive don't you bring me down i'm happy with no feet on the ground

all my life i've been told what's right and mindful of what's wrong I decide to nurture light but attention's just so long and i've got to earn a living brother are you kidding tired eyes with a lucid mind and memories holding strong you capitalize all of my time but will you miss me when i'm gone and i don't want to earn a living brother are you kidding i quit my job to open up and find where i belong freed my mind enjoying life now i spend time writing songs and i don't want to earn a living brother are you kidding?
