Coming to Collect
01:42
|
|||
I am coming to collect
On debts unowed
Shift shortcomings to success
Unless you know
Which way the heat will go
Smoke clouds suffocate the West
At best we’ll cope
Give no quarter to the crest
Whose left this all alone
Which way the heat will go
|

Give me all the words you know
Hiss projector
I need to bring the fight to the
Damage eraser
With animated songs from a lonely planet
Frustrated worlds you’ll never know
Grow cold
I thought I had it figured out
I pinned it to the wall
Forgot what it’s about
Forgot to heed the call
Of animated songs from a lonely planet
Frustrated worlds you’ll never know
Grow cold

Spaceboy
02:52
|
|||
Searching sound for the signal
Steady as a stone
Roots dug into the shallow
Reaching for a home
Waiting for the 'go'
Thinking only of the cosmos
Ready and alone
Eyes blinded by a halo
Scarred by afterglow
Waiting for the 'go'
Ready and alone
Spaceboy, you were only sleeping at the top of the hill
Spaceboy, you were just sitting still
And it takes more height to get above the atmosphere
But I know you're falling from fear
Because I am following near

Undoing
03:32
|
|||
I felt something come over me
Turned me into the breeze
Blowing over to you
But the current sent me straight through
Now there’s nothing more I can do
I see where you’re going
But the world spins too fast and I can’t meet you
I need what you’re growing
But the roots dig too deep and I can’t reach them
I need you to know
That the world has a way
Of undoing what’s meant to be
And we were meant to be
I’ll never be over you
And when the current sent me straight through
Know there’s nothing more I could do
No, there’s nothing more I could do
I see where you’re going
But the world spins too fast and I can’t meet you

Crashes and Crows
02:15
|
|||
You see the light and then you go
You think it’s clear, but now you know
So it goes
The bended fender steals the show
The ringing ears, the mind’s echoes
Try to follow
A chorus of crashes and crows, oh
Decisions damn the open road
The more you make, the less you know
Which way you should go
You follow all the omens shown
The gods create the devil’s glow
So how could you know?
A chorus of crashes and crows, oh
An anthem for the undertow
You see the light and think you know
Just what it means to start the show
Oh but you don’t

For the Record
01:32
|
|||
I’m listening to every record
In my collection incorrectly
For something I have never heard before
Drop the needle in a shallow groove
So it will skip the queue and hop on into
Sounds that I never knew I wanted to hear
I’m listening for the record
To hear a song that makes me feel the way you do

Ten-Sided
02:42
|
|||
I wrote it down once
Did you get it?
I sang it out wrong
To forget it
I know the problem’s
Ten-sided
I looked at five so
Get excited
An algorithm whispers to the night to start a fight
I want to get away (from the other side)
I need to get away (from the other side)
There’s got to be a way (from the other side)

Afterword
01:26
|
|||
You read it in a book
And then you take a look outside
Until you see it clear
A repeat from 80 years before
And when you read ahead
You won’t like how this all ends
Just hope you make amends with the afterword
What are we coming to?
|
||||
9. |
||||
You’re stuck inside my head
I don’t want you around
Can’t forget what you said
As the haunting sound
Echoes from the underground
You’re waltzing ‘round my head
And you won’t slow down
In messages unsent
That’s where I’m found
With echoes from the underground
Ringing out
It’s all in my head
All the words we never said
You’re waltzing round my head
And you won’t slow down
In messages unsent
That’s where I’m found
With echoes from the underground
Ringing out

Gloves to Grand Air
02:42
|
|||
Chasing the new
Falling into nothing
Tasting the proof
Calling out for contact
I will follow through
Wasted my youth
Stalling for the contract
I will follow through
I will call to you
With gloves to grand air
And signals undeclared
|

Wondering
03:03
|
|||
Yeah I wonder
If Bobby Pollard
Likes all of his songs
There’s a million of them
And I wonder
If he heard this
Would he pitch a fit
Or would he snicker
And I wonder
If I should record
Every song that I forge
Or just forget them
Because if I do
And no one listens
Then I won’t glisten
No I’ll just flicker
But I wonder
If I get my turn
Will I stop learning
Or will I bloom
Into a flower
An earthy asterid
A showy orchid
To make you smile
When you need it
Will I be able
To stay stable
And soothe your burn
While I wonder
Yeah I wonder
I’m always wondering
Yes I am
