1.
Skin forming blankets Suffocating sweet surprises If you see me burning up Take my watery hand I'll follow you There are no Gods that swallow us Our noses are full I'll follow you There's winds blowing apart Legs of spread youth This is no time to be left alone And she's melting on the roof I'll follow you
2.
Mutant Bones 03:27
Sprinkled eyes, mutant bones, piled high, river's flowing My ears are shocked, and in other rooms, words are falling, forgot my broom She moved slightly, then took of fast, in a car with no limbs, and no one passed, a passing glimpse, heavy pulse, New York films Now we know what it feels like Jim Gin soaked lights, fluorescent doors, the paint is soaked from those tears of yours Listen closely, there's someone singing, about finding love, and a spring cleaning, time travel, and a slow feeling, tired rugs we've danced upon No need to wake up, we're not alone, and as you've seen, we're all grown Always thinking that something is something You're always thinking that something is something
3.
Shifting tolls White elephant bowls Inside secrets The ivory now holds Making a path Through wooden tree circles More religious Than concrete miracles
4.
Crimes 06:10
Aged like a crime Function symbolically Necessary Force Aged like a crime Grotesque surrealists Feminine depression Rare sights Of deafening chimes Aged like a crime
5.
Faster than a rolling stone Or sweet new dripping from a telephone Louder than a thousand drones All singing harmonies, in different tones And you were left alone Considering possibilities of organ clones Louder than a platform stage A thousand words written on a store bought page I always knew you were right Never to follow anyone's else advice
6.
Power 04:02
Forget some nights for early tombs Sailing through dull colored rooms Both wearing wisdom hats Patterned sweat on our backs Power Spoonfuls of Power Power Strange curiosities Faucets tapped, and bodies Blinking eyelids Shaking in the sun Toothpaste tongue, mumbling Because things have a way of stealing our time Power Spoonfuls of power Power
7.
Moon Child 05:45
Moon child, soaking in the shade Camomile, water never made To soon, to tell Force field, broken to hell Trip wire, strung across the street Foolish child, who did you meet? Blue veins, underneath your skin Frozen lines, and you're wearing thin
8.
Everyone 06:19
Everyone, sooner or later Walks the mile and leans the ladder Clouds cradle with stare confections Now enter mental calculations Everyone, sooner or later Plays with fire and drinks the water Instigate your only protection Clouds cradle with stare confections
