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
2.
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
4.
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
5.
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
6.
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
7.
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)
8.
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
10.
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
11.
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
