Routes Roots 05:19
lyrics
it's the evolution of somebody else so let go of the heart and we will do the rest so turn over that rock and find something that crawls will you hold on or feel nothing at all? it's the bastard version of what we call "friends", lies from deep set eyes and what we think of them I ain't no poet see and this ain't poetry just meaningless words that start and end in roots that make up a tree even with a knife to your own throat you still say "I don't know nothing" even with a knife to your own throat you still say "I don't got nothing" even with a knife to your own throat you still say "I don't know nothing" even with a knife to your own throat you still say "I want everything" you still say, you still say, you still say, you still say, you still say you said come forth through the forest have you found what you seek prepare yourself mind matter decree through the solace surrounding hides in veils of light this warmth approach this vision at night this starving beast exhausts me to maintain feeling it close by and the hearts that it drains so I must fuel its rage to subdue my own if that's the answer then I must go it alone to where they stand tall and mighty follow their lifelines roots that make up a tree even though you, even though you, knife to your own throat, knife to your own throat still said nothing follow their lifeline its time to bury yourself in the ground still said nothing, still said nothing at all

Empty Bones 03:32
lyrics
born in capitol letters must strive to gain the trust; we're not strangers always accumulating your memory becomes of times of stretching your wings learn to sing these beaks muster strength to fight to keep this lavish lifestyle empty nest that you don't know how to protect but there's a sense of attachment anyway time slips above the sound and crack of thunder intentions revealed with that broken gaze with that broken gaze with that broken gaze

Bandaids 00:50
lyrics
i'm stuck on bandaid brand cause bandaids are stuck on me i'm stuck on bandaid brand cause bandaids are stuck on me cause they really stick to your fingers and they stick on bended knees i'm stuck on bandaid brand cause bandaids are stuck on me they hold on tight no matter what to fingers, toes and knees i'm stuck on bandaid brand cause bandaids are stuck on me

Odds and Ends 05:02
lyrics
I laugh at the overwhelming odds that often lie shit-faced in my lap like a stray cat that needs to be neutered if you know what I mean and in your head I know what you're thinking and in your mind I know that you've been planning this for quite some time amassing the pieces to collage a canvas of afflictions while mercenary maggots pull out their forks and knives and feast like anorexics on vacation don't try to look me in the eye would you rather forget or die they're one and the same hello how are you dear there is something in the air although tasteless I can sense the bitterness that awaits for my tongue amassing the people to support your problems of addiction while everybody's just in it for their own selves and I'm left stranded with my own misconceptions I hide the knife in my heart pretty damn well

Dear Nana 03:32
lyrics
dear nana you gave me 300 dollars and now I'm rich thanks nana you gave me 300 dollars and now I'm rich, yeah I'm rich making money, getting paid, capitalizing on my investments I am free, keep this clean, I'm a regular money making machine and how does it feel to be way up there what a view you and who?

Hey Kids 02:38
lyrics

Walking Talk 03:57
lyrics
when you're walking in a storm from work to home cause the buses won't go (make it be spring with everything) and you're all alone (passing those feathers 'round) do you want a change of this modern pace do you know for sure you've got the right to go? it's funny cause you know (we stole their land but they just kept playing the brass) you know (make it be spring with everything) you learned your lesson the first time (passing those feathers 'round) you learned that it's time to be on time now that you've come out behind those banks and borders I've seen the great sea you realize your own pettyness it's funny cause it's funny cause you know (we stole their land but they just kept playing the brass) you know (that's the kind of optimism we should strive for) you didn't go (making it be spring with everything) you learned your lesson the first time (passing those feathers 'round) you learned that it's time to be on time
