1.
Bike Rack On 04:55
Can't figure out if you like your life You have a lot of friends and you drive a nice car You take good care of your pets Is this a real life? On your cell phone every day and night Do you feel alright? Driving the autobahn with your bike rack on Sing this song in key Just you and me We don't have much to say about how we spend our days It's near the end of the week and I need to sleep Freestyling now Don't have a cow Headed to the bridge in a second here
2.
Reserve a cloud Thinking aloud In heaven we cast our thoughts out of our heads like anglers' nets God is a fish with a death wish unable to die He throws himself into our lines You look doubtful you look innocent I won't explain So slip out toward the exit signs The managers are the un-attentive kind So slip out of your row placid now
3.
Make It So 04:58
So afraid our fears froze on our faces See through our accidental disguises Feel the spirit of the escalier Say your prayers your tongue's been taken from you Even the mirror won't deign to return your image the way you would prefer Check's in the mail you'll pay your dues When you know everyone understands you Make it so everyone hates a lonely person Does he need to get help? Shall not fear there is nothing to fear. You Sweetheart drops you in the gutter
4.
It's meaningful to others You really need me to cheerlead? Sustain our vowels means sincerity Cut me out of your plans and text how you miss me Close call we almost had a real conversation You'll notice soon You know how weird everything has gotten Erratically advance toward whatever you desire at that moment And drop your prior object You got all you wanted, now, complain to me about it
5.
Silent tension words never born Spectral deceits kindled your scorn Know you're right you did the right thing You don't deserve this shackling Too absorbed too bored with myself To keep your hand or be of much help Rain on windshield turning to snow Fog up the glass tired and old When it's over it's over and it's over now I'll cry you no river and I'm ready to drown You know and I know we could have given us a better shot But no endure the kindnesses that cut I want you to know that you're not really missing out
6.
January more still than we've ever known Molten plastic warm rain silicon Futile plans Fantasize we can move Burning just releases epoxy to flow and saturate Let the olive twig stay on the bough What truth shall I tell now Every word a spear Wounds don't heal or worsen Everyone could be a friend to betray confidence
7.
So we go to sleep desirous of more Do you and I dream? Electric sheep shorn Knitting tapestries with imagined yarn Oracular eye motion adjourned I don't know you really at all so get our hopes up
8.
You've seen violence you've seen it all Heir apparent to the hammer In the shrimp farm of your mind Your little thoughts will soon be lost to time You're a liar you're a thief You took the blissful ignorance from me Nauseating sight spill blood in an odd light Bully you're a thief you're a hammer in gold leaf Show me if you please show me your fangs of ivory You've seen violence you've seen it all White hooded eagle will you scream
9.
Alone back to the house that you rent so uninviting Arguably skilled you have none with a purpose You're liberated from support and attention Nothing to say no interlocutor I think you're cute The clock runs out of time nobody moves or changes now There is a pattern but I don't want it You run in place I want to sleep now Insignificant dead leaves strangling the sun and the rays it shines Step through the needles on the trees and the needles on the ground We've been here before
10.
Keep It Real 06:59
It's not my intent to piss you off I'm just entertained sealed in myself Kept behind the glass view us safely Took my vitamins leave whenever now Yeah a letdown you know how to feel Yeah a fake-out til you keep it real Show us your true smile refrigerated We'll read your lips if you have two I know how to say it but I don't know what to say
11.
We go through the woods and forest glades I wander and hear the words you say The flying birds pay us no heed They've their own places that they should be I wish you'd think out loud My voice coil's unwound I try to speak but am afraid of goofing up A repeat play I know so much less of your thoughts than I could Teach me if you feel like you should
