Something 02:30
SOMETHING I was blinded by your halo When you came down to say hello Now all I hear is an echo Of a door being shut I just split my ego The joker played a good show Hey let’s get surgical And scrape until we’re cut Don’t know anymore After all is through Is there still something Dressing up in aloe Cause there’s burns on my torso To what degree I don’t know Should I give a fuck Darling you’re a head-spin All twisting emotion If we look in the reflection You might freeze after we’re stuck
2.
Race Car 03:20
RACE CAR Cans of people, rolling down the road Black velvet asphalt, lines of butter gold No more tickets this ride’s a sold out show Both seats are taken now we’ll really go Pass 55 To feel alive Around the curve Don’t lose your nerve I am a racecar baby You are a traffic light Hell will freeze before I slow down You turn yellow out of spite I am a racecar baby You are a traffic light Now I’m drifting, cloud of bitter dust Ass on leather, feel the engine thrust Rev my motor, I don’t want to rust Must keep moving, I am wanderlust
3.
BAD TENDENCIES I bought more dopamine To keep me from hating on me Best friends with my Bad tendencies She got dizzy drinking She got dizzy and closer to me While I was reflecting On some false history Won’t you stay even though I’m digging holes in my brain Won’t you stay and wait To hear me out now
4.
Wire 03:43
WIRE I really think that I’d like to Jump outside of my head Maybe then I could find truth I might be better off then Oh God help me Turning my skin black and blue Doing things that I dread Afraid I can’t quite get through The dream’s easy to forget
5.
DEAD BUT FREE Fortune favors the brave I’m afraid, that she’s not Particularly partial She also favors cowards A stitch in time could have saved A hundred thousand or more The fabric of cohesion Is tearing apart Destiny Has come to see And even she Looks pretty freaked She will need Most definitely Some THC — Valerian tea — A song to sing Among the questions I have   Where were you, in the fray When all of us were voting Were you asleep Will the future be fine Why are those, close to death Insistent on destroying The world they soon leave We have seen the worst of humanity Dragged the depths of society Taken a bat to the hive of bees
6.
Desert 06:39
DESERT I was alone in the desert today Yes I need some of that sunlight away Wonder how I got here, let’s see Trapped in these caves, waters escaped The day is breaking Burning off the coolness of the night My head is aching Close my eyes against the morning light … Here comes the sun I was alone in the desert today Yes I need some of that sunlight away Wonder how I got here, let’s see Trapped in these caves, trapped in these caves, trapped in these caves The day is breaking Burning off the coolness of the night My heart is aching You are always gone before the light … Here comes the sun
7.
Diamond Path 02:21
DIAMOND PATH I am falling down into the ring of fire I can feel desire like a velvet wire It’s wrapped around my wrist I was going under in a sea of doubt You came and fished me out like a little trout And now I’m on your line Colors bleed together when I’m in your arms I can feel the magic of your heady charms You make me reel and stagger as if I’ve drunk champagne And now I’ve found my gold I really hit the vein I see four men running on a diamond path I hear you laugh in the aftermath Of a three run lead Future beckons slyly with a little wink Have another drink have another kiss And it will stay like this Future beckons slyly with a little wink Have another drink have another kiss You’ll be the one I miss

LITTLE DID I KNOW Little funny feeling that lingers in my head Has taken captivity of my brain and now I’m silent Need the love right here Got to feel no fear The two and two aren’t adding up too swell I’ve got a lot to learn
9.
Thirsty 03:59
THIRSTY It’s getting darker It’s hard to see the light She’s getting drunker Going off to fight the fight Just swallow salvation From the holy gin bottle She’s a member Of the Church of Eternal Thirst Keeps chasing chasers Things are going from bad to worse Just swallow salvation From the holy wine bottle It goes down so easy around the ice All the edges are very much softer It's so damn nice She’s the driver But she’s not behind the wheel She’s up above us Guiding traffic with her will Just swallow salvation From the holy scotch bottle It goes down so easy around the ice All the edges are very much softer It's so damn nice It goes down so easy no sting at all Come now and kneel before him Saint Ethanol

Second Floor 03:22
SECOND FLOOR You sold your soul some time ago I sold my soul for rock n roll The crowd was thin I wore your pin 1-2-3-4…. I know you want to stay I love you anyway I can’t believe you let me down Second floor and then the ground Remember her? I wish you were She’s just a blur…. You feel my love just from afar Its not my fault the hearts ajar I’d tell you more I’m such a bore You shut that door….
11.
CAT vs VACUUM Surely A decline My heart’s full It’s so tie dye I don’t know where It all fell out of place Galaxy Shot the wrong way The other way I can’t wait anymore, tomorrow’s about to end I can’t wait anymore, going down once again Help me Keep me in place Anxiety Won’t show till the next day We could care less We’ve got all we need Kill my interests Laugh off secretly
12.
Fenix 03:16
FENIX Whoa I don’t mind Gonna take you cause I think I love you Oh I don’t see the day come, but I think I want to Yes I might need Some excuses for my actions But I do oh I do really really think It’s gonna be OK It’s gonna be OK It's all gonna be OK Be OK be OK Well I am the day that breaks And she won’t save me And I can’t quite say That I am the man you seek But I do believe I think that This light shines on
