Pylons 03:48
I wanna go home now Cause I feel whole now I wanna go home now I believe, yes I believe Lightning in a bottle but you never could grasp it Walking round the city with your coin purse latched and Looking at me funny when a girl skirts past You were quaking in your boots so I shuffled on faster Horror in my head cause you’re laying with rats now Shoveling for two in a studio downtown Look up at the ceiling when you see me come around now Shopping cart was full of cigarettes and dog chow I’m sorry I didn’t mean to scare you Walking round the town, getting breakfast at Tiffany’s Finding mistletoes at the party and kissing me Walking round Tiffany’s with nothing but a shirt on Open up a window to catch a glimpse of pylons Trying on her clothes but nothing really fit me I get satisfaction from trying to be thrifty Walking round Tiffany’s with curtains closed shut now Snapping on some gloves so I can milk the cash cow Got it on my shirt so I put it in the laundry What I wouldn’t give to be just like Tiffany Shuffle past a man, would you make my day please headed to a house and say ask for Tiffany She’s watering her plants; devastating ants Little does she know she’s about to have some plans Scour past the tower before I head to shower Found the spur to shave but the razor turned sour Shot off all the water and headed to the deli One way or another, I know I’ll go to Tiffany’s

Mon Frère 04:34
I don't wanna leave you here, cause I'm having fun I promise Oh, I swear that I'm being honest I am here for you and I love you Oh mon frère, I've been missing you so long Can you feel the way Everybody When the fire's alive Here in my hands So I found love And I lost love And you gave me What you could think of (x4) You left me here But that's alright cause it's my fault Don't leave things all wrong and wobbly Leave things shattered on the asphalt I love you I wanted you to know that And I'm sorry for the way that I have shown that

715-Creeks 02:59
Down along the creek I remember something Her, the heron hurried away When first I breeched that last Sunday (Ooh) Low moon don the yellow road I remember something That leaving wasn't easing all that heaving in my vines And as certain it is evening 'at is NOW is not the Time (Ooooh) Toiling with your blood I remember something In B, un—rationed kissing on a night second to last Finding both your hands as second sun came past the glass And oh, I know it felt right and I had you in my grasp Oh then, how we gonna cry? Cause it once might not mean something? Love, a second glance, it is not something that we'll need Honey, understand that I have been left here in the reeds But all I'm trying to do is get my feet out from the crease And I see you Turn around, you're my A Team Turn around, now you're my A Team God damn, turn around now You're my A Team

I walked away crying from the past three days and I found you in the valley greeting strangers with a kiss and I held the lamp and you use my last wish To say I love you to say I'm sorry to say I miss you and I get nothing I am a fact of fiction I am a mess of contradiction I am a fake I am nothing without diction as I sit alone in this rotting, fading chair I look across the way and see you smiling standing there And I am nothing and you are all that matters to me You are fable you are fiction I am nothing without fiction you are a bridge filled with friction I am scared of the world coming with us I am nothing and you are something I am stories I am visions I am a mess of rhyme words, I am tired, so absurd You are concrete and divine you will never be mine I am jurisdiction and you are no restriction cause I am a hole within the plot but you connect the dots I feed off of fiction I am a mess of contradiction I am disease I am sickness you are a cure to my addiction I am nothing I am boring I am sleeping I am snoring I dreaming of you and I am touring better worlds In this world I am a hero and not comparable to zero But there I go again always spoiling the end I am evil I am hated I'm in this room fucking wasted I know I'm overrated I'm tired and frustrated I am sad I have waited I have contemplated I have laid on this bed and have hated being you You don't deserve that, you never earned that, and I'm sorry you just heard that I am nothing with a junction, without you I can't function I am nothing without fiction, nothing without fiction On your birthday where I brought you a gift that you liked On your birthday we were together, looking at mountains Stop and stare at you and you giggled and yelled at me like you always do but that's only fiction just a contradiction that's not a reality that's just me being me and writing

I don't wanna be awake anymore, no no no no But I don't wanna be in my bed anymore, no no no no I don't wanna be anywhere anymore I don't wanna be anywhere anymore With you I don't wanna do a damn thing with my life I don't wanna see no sights I don't wanna do a damn thing with my life Don't wanna fight for no rights I don't wanna do a damn thing with my life Cause it don't feel right I don't wanna do a damn with my life I don't wanna be awake anymore Giving more than I take anymore Doing it for my own sake anymore Cause I don't wanna be awake anymore (x2)
