Hot and Cool 03:56
lyrics
buy track
Hot and Cool In the mass age a screen a scream between Content formed feasting eyes never the wiser Flat and broke a vacant stare passed the yard line It goes south furious quite the ending hot and cool You’re a record spinning tape a relic Broken lightbulb the dark more than enough we play ping pong in a courtyard slick and icy Things go south delirium in the meantime hot and cool Catch the cast sleazy mark brutal bedlam pinpoint dots strain the eye yawn of boredom I am old playing young in my rock band It goes south Curious till next frame

A Lullaby 05:08
lyrics

Lullaby This is the moment The moment I want to last Last time I felt this This way I sense it’s past Ooo! Past the present’s future Future tense unto me Unto me visions, euporia, ecstasy Ooo! I hold you so gently So gently I hear you breathe Breathe in so deeply So deep inside your sleep Ooo! There is nothing more. Nothing more that I could give. I give all the love I have To you kid. Ooo!

Square Root (Radical Heart) 04:55
lyrics
buy track
Square Root (Radical Heart) The square root of my heart Is twice as much as his And one tenth of yours I'm losing space and time Keep it on your calculator I can't complete the computation The square root of my heart I don't know where to start Heard about the architecture I don't need to hear another lecture Even if it's scarred Keep it on the clock Beat it 'til it stops The ticking in your car Signal out another turn The absolute is never sure Like the ache in my arm It stays there and starves Read about the resurrection A one way ticket to teenage heaven

Best Boy 03:45
lyrics
buy track
Best Boy It must be some kind of gift to always be right secure inside your authority Faking science to hide truth from reality now it shows it shows it shows it shows it shows it shows it shows who’s bought and sold When years of experience Mean words of indifference Something’s missing Numbers are cooked Bribes overlooked All strings attached And it shows It shows it shows it shows It shows it shows it shows Who’s bought and sold You’re on the inside now Deeper than you ever thought What once was an empty well Now it’s filling up So swim, and swim, Or else you are sunk Just like us So it goes It shows it shows it shows It shows it shows it shows We’re bought and sold

Rumblings 04:44
lyrics

Rumblings The silver spoon just out of reach The classic line is somewhat weak The phone it rings and rings and rings A quarter tone a pounce a squeeze Treble, tremor the ground is shaking the earth moves feel the rumbling Treble tremor the ground is shaking there’s no time feel the rumbling I’m impressed by your shop of hype Sell me something and i’ll bite I’ll buy the screens the webs, the types You’ll watch as it all falls down falls down Treble, tremor the ground is shaking the earth moves feel the rumbling The other is here to stay No matter what laws you make the seismic shift is long overdue And you have lost your clue Treble, tremor the ground is shaking the earth moves feel the rumbling I salute your lack of soul that’s a joke if you don’t know Like a scratch in a totaled car That’s how relevant you are Treble, tremor the ground is shaking the earth moves feel the rumbling hear the rumbling here the rumbling hear the rumbling here the rumbling

Superstition & Silence 04:55
lyrics

Superstition & Silence Silence You’re my kind of silence The kind that don’t get me down when I’m out on my own Violence Superstitious violence the kind I watch on TV When I’m all alone Patience passing through it timeless I’ve got too much on my mind makes it hard to forget Prudence It’s not it you used to be Perhaps you stay stay away Don’t you know that everything will be allright Kindness Someone give me some notice Just a glance if you can spare it would make my day Vicious Sort of like sadistic sneak a peak without anybody else aware Ponder if you will this life I know I don’t matter But act like you care Silence You’re my kind of silence The kind that don’t get me down when I’m on my own Don’t you know that everything will be what you want Salvage just take what matters leave the rest behind it don’t matter no more

Drop the Ax 02:36
lyrics
buy track
Drop the Ax How come it took so long for you to drop the ax That chopped my heart in two And when the bell has rung, behind the smoking gun Your smile was slightly cruel ‘Though I always knew when you were lying ‘Cause I could hear you laugh when you were crying But yesterday topped it all, when you said, “Goodbye.” Now in the aftermath, an alcoholic crash That split my brain in half Now my voice is gone it’s cracking like the sun. So I don’t talk to no one Beer after beer I did drink To my ex who played me like a puppeteer ‘til one day she cut the strings, with my own sheers ‘Though I always knew when you were lying ‘Cause I could hear you laugh when you were crying But yesterday topped it all, when you said, “Goodbye.”

Tiny Pockets 02:36
lyrics

Tiny Pockets Where is my brain Over in a lake tangled up in algae Trying to buy a break In the air, a massive change Something here not the same I’m still go lucky More highs than lows Shirt thrown on backwards Got miles to go Till he’s eating endless teething Heart socket, tiny pocket And it drives me on and it burns me so Love forever, love unknown And it drives me on, and it drives me around And it burns my soul Oh-oh Oh-oh-oh I’m masquerading Try it on for size It fits so smoothly Kind of like a lie Piggies, rings under eyes Where’s my body Where are my thighs Here comes the spider Wheels on a bus Man’s dog is BINGO What is trust lust? Smile sweet, heart full Love him so, got to know And it drives me on and it burns me so Love forever, love unknown And it drives me on, and it drives me around And it burns my soul Oh-oh Oh-oh-oh

Hatful of Rain 04:58
lyrics
buy track
Hatful of Rain Caught up in the race Got a steady place 
 To keep your feet on the ground Woke up in a town With no one around To hang your head on this time And it seems you got stuck with A hatful of rain You read down You better save face Before they take you away It’s a movie scene Someone else’s dream That keeps you awake Caught up in the race Got a steady place 
To keep your feet on the ground Woke up in a town With no one around To hang your head on this time When you gain something you never wanted Well that’s too bad When you lose nothing you never had Well that’s just sad

Neverman 04:15
lyrics
buy track
Neverman I never turn the channel At least not anymore I never take a chance Or settle scores I never fold the corners Or leave marks on a page I never left the planet In words there’s outer space I am the neverman in Neverland, so nevermind I never mailed letter Or wrote a note Never cross Niagara by bridge, by boat Never felt so tired I guess I’ll go to bed Never look out my window I think that’s what I read. I am the neverman in Neverland, so nevermind.

Let It Go 03:56

Let It Go The match to ignite A spark in my head You blew it Tossing away A knotted thread Of your choosing A silent dance A nod of ascent Is all it took To focus on this regiment and not what it should Can you feel this Can you feel this Can you feel this Can you feel this I am nothing to you Just looking at you Makes me tired I lost this chance My pride intact A moment’s notice I am nothing to you I am nothing to you I am nothing to you I am nothing to you I am nothing to you I am nothing to you Can you feel this Can you feel this Can you feel this Can you feel this It’s like a prickling you can’t deny Just let yourself Let it go You are not me I am not you A disguised blessing I will move on I will march on Without you Wouldn’t it be Wouldn’t it be Wouldn’t it be How dare you still have power over me Can you feel this Can you feel this Can you feel this It’s like a prickling you can’t deny Just let yourself Let it go

Fugitive 02:40

Fugitive Big freight train take me away From the city lights to the borderline The faster you go the further I’ll be In two days time They’ll be huntin’ for me miles around 70 road blocks from town to town The further you get the freer I’ll feel In two days time I'm a fugitive on the run from the law Stole some money, then something went wrong $70,000 in cold hard cash Got one bullet, but no gun to match If I jump off now, they’ll fine me soon If I wait too long, gonna meet my doom I'm a fugitive on the run from the law Stole some money, then something went wrong The hole in my chest is bleedin’ bad If don’t wake up tomorrow you can keep the cash Big freight train - keep on movin' fast A big freight train - a keep on a movin’ fast A big freight train - a keep on a movin’ fast I'm a fugitive on the run from the law Stole some money, then something went wrong
