The Audience 02:37
She knows that I'll go anywhere she goes I ain't afraid of the deep snows I ain't afraid of the heat stroke I am the atmosphere She knows that I'm in love with the sea foam and it don't worry her ego cause shes the one to take me home I am a blade of grass The audience is sleeping they're dreaming hard of better things Still disbelieving Still looking down on their own wings and all their reason won't help them face what time will bring We know the more we die the more we grow and we don't listen to ego cause deep in side we're all equal we are the audience

I Want You 03:18
I want you alone and your wide open soul can you tell that I'm so into all that you're knowin if we were to throw down we'd take out the whole town let's go get some new boots and meet at the hoedown We woke without clothes and we showed up like soldiers with hope in our pockets and guns on our shoulders I want you to know this because you're the closest to all of the things I do my very most with I want you I want you I want you in lotus, hibiscus and roses and all that you showed us we'd never have noticed I want you in tidepools and glistening handfuls of all we can handle until we get cancelled I want you in creases of night where the least bit of light amplifies undisguisable heat where demons appear and for all of their fear it was they who arranged we should meet But if we can make it and call this road taken we'll get back to basics like waking up naked I want you in autumn, no top and no bottom like you were an outlaw and I was a law man I want you I want you I want you inspired by earthquakes and spiders and don't think I want you to like me for my words I want you enraptured, my friend and my captor to be with me now and be anywhere after I want you I want you I want you I want you

Empty Space 03:18
I got a house of my own it ain't much but it's all mine and you can find it outside the walls are not my home you know of course the empty space is where I spend my time the outside comes and goes I don't know how but I don't mind it we get along just fine the air the dirt and I are all around there are no boundaries to a life The only thing that makes you what you are is everything you think you're not You're bound to be let down if you believe in everything you think you've got see if you can't embrace the empty space that makes up what you call your heart Short of the mall or alcohol I don't know another way than art Relax that apathy react at last do all things perfectly as in the past use all your energy give up the chase you can't pretend to be any more than empty space your face is a gift anyway I missed the feeling of conflict as if it could be any more obvious the he was no different from me just a wave in the sea that we all need to be and I was no more than the time that it took to reply to the wind outside

Wide Eyes 03:07
I want to be decent this time of all of the reasons to leave, what a crime in my mind, here on my side of the line you still shine and you could always change your mind But I ain't about to be out for your hide if I came to your door you would probably hide inside trying not to look in my eyes it ain't kind but if you think it's right I want to meet up with you some time I want to be sure that you're gonna be fine I ain't lying, another Saturday night still trying to put it out of my mind I'm all out of lines I ain't trying to whine it might be fucked but it will all be fine Wide Eyes, you're gonna make it alright if not now then off in some other life

I Just Can't 03:26
Ever since you left we've had to hold it down trying not to guess if you'd be back around Oh, no one's saying you were wrong much as we wish you could stay we'd much rather have you safe We've been waiting all this year to hear you're well since you took a part of me and ran like hell Since then, we just want to hear you play we just wanted you to know anywhere that you might go Guess there's nothing left now but to let you go could have found a better way to let you know and so we all go our separate ways never knowing if or when we might see a day like this out there, someday, again

I used to worry a lot it never helped for shit but it hurt so much to stop what a riot you tell me nothin ever come for free but I dont buy it wait for something good to come to me and then I try it give me a kite, Ill fly it an egg, I'll fry it give me money for the bus I'll ride it it's always sunny inside a good times the one thing I can provide six stories high and two lanes wide your smile could stop time and I know you're not mine still I catch your eye get caught in thought crime useless as a landline fine sand and cheap wine a good night get your head screwed on right but not too tight any minute I might quit the spotlight better to be ready at all times to take flight It all ends alright you know no need to fight the flow Wait til its time to go can't tell you how you'll know It's no thing to find a soul we don't need no final goal It all ends alright you know it all ends alright you know I didn't drop like rock drop from up on top I popped out of the dirt and took a look at the clock saw that it was way past time to hit the block I don't sit down for shit talk I spit walking on two feet the feedback blocking the newsfeed and soothing me is soon to be in tune and then you'll see democracy in C on three New Ways to Make Noise is my name money and fame are petty aims but I aint sayin I'm above it I just want to be loved, shit couldnt really see me holding up a gloved fist am I a coward or a pacifist what's the difference? What is speed divided by distance? Why are christians so insistent on christmas? Have we ever missed it? lick my lips like Mister Burns scripts consist of words its absurd the whole thirty is the new thirteen don't work if we all end up in the dirt let's give it up for the worm We all turn one day to coal that's the last great miracle though it's been a bitter road it all ends alright you know there's a far piece left to go and that sun can take its toll it all ends alright you know it all ends alright you know

Start Again 06:47
I was born with a foot in the grave I gave it all just to learn what it was for In love I saw just a little of the point But I tried too hard and I had a great fall Then I got happy and I opened my ears It worked for years til I got lucky again And then a friend, through the smoke and the tears She let me hear the voice of God And so I tried to be easy with the all But I went too far and believed that I was right And so I start, start again all the time try and realign with what I was meant to be Breathe in and start again All things end but the unending We're all pretending to forget that time leaves nothing standing I can't keep waiting for a secret that will make this easy It's up to me alone to realign my own mind daily It's not like kindness takes a specialist to recognize it This isn't anything but showing up with open eyes And maybe being wise and being right don't take the same plan of attack There's only one thing we can do so why take any chance on that Start again, start again
