My ---friend's back
I came too
Meeting the parents
They share their code to the locks
Dad paints left field
Our staged is mom's real
In the magazines
What a whole new scene
Left it all
for a new life and a future
Born in one place
to find another
In orangish red
Something said
with hopes that it'll lead to
the hunch
Mine are far
so the stories have to do
I call a bit less
Seas apart
I can't believe
I found such a soul
My dad can't either
so he only hears stories too
All feels small
until that life and that future
reach that point
where I want them
Think of what I said
Fascinated
Relating to one another
but such opposites
In the few
In the time
Realizing how we're the same
We picked it up

Teller / To Want To
05:27

Its a game
lovin' you
walkin' around
trying to find how to
And then you move
with such a grace
I knew
how to find you in a different place cause you ran away yet again
Then you hook
me in for a spin
and then you move
from within
Oh its so hard
its so hard
not to live
just to make you feel at least okay
Lotion time
to keep the cracks
from hurting too
too bad
and they hurt more
when I feel the cold
but its to deal
with the heat in the room that I sweat in till I find another
Oh I hope
I get into a sport
that I can watch
for hours
And then
I'll cook a meal
that hits
all the spots the spots that make me feel empty then the food will fill them up
The songs
they sting and hurt
until they walk
along the earth
and when they move
and the people sing
oh there ain't anything
that feels better than that

Hand me downs
from Mariah
I pick them
or do they pick me
Being followed
in the boutique
by the man
that thinks this whole thing is strange
I’d like
to just browse
in the clothes
that raise me up
Hold me down
Put me in the ground
put me in a gown
that keeps me from getting down
rise up to the scene
that made you mean
now tell them what you mean
with a brand new seam
The conversations
are much better
no matter the color
no matter the weather
They help me
release that inside
I’ve always thought
I should never be
What a flow
I feel like an infant
I’m anew
A brand new elegant
Feel it all
Rise to the call
that made you so alone and all
but now I’ve got it all
Brand new necklaces
This just is what is
I've got no reason else
than for a brand new self
Oh feel it all
Rise to the call
that made you so useless and all
but you got to feel it all
for the good to feel good
even in the old neighborhood
I’ve got it now held so well
and they can tell

Hold Me Up
06:48
|
|||
|
Hold me up
just a bit more
Just to the floor
Hold me up
Hold me up
Just till my clothes
Good thing no one knows
Hold me up
Hold it up
11:13
Loyal to routine
but hold it up
Now a flow
without a place to go
Without train tickets to show
They say hold it up
Its old
60 euros I'm told
Nowhere to go
So I pay it up
Light it up
Low lights means low chance
Video of a dance
Hold me up
Hold me up
to the windows to see
Either window 1,
2, or 3
All foggy
Shift over sides of the bed
for the neighbors say
how they're stuck in dismay
through the walls
Reminisce
Potted plants on display
Lower sways
to the music
Hold me up
Drink it down
Love it regardless
More regards
and less and less and less
but hold it up
Hold me up
in case I miss
any of this
Hold me up

Circles
05:49

Though we’re always running deep in circles
Circles are the way that things go
(That they go)
I am always running deep in circles
Hoping that I’ll come back around
(Come back around)
I've seen this face, I’ve seen this face, I’ve seen this face
before when I was in this circle
I've been around, I've been around
I've been around this circle before
Though we're always running deep in circles
Circles is the way that it goes
(That it goes)
I knew a place,
I knew a place where i could just stop and sit and breath
You were in this place
they were in this place
then we had to keep on moving in our circles
Though we're always running deep in circles
Circles is the way that it goes
That it goes
I knew a place, I knew a place
where I didn’t have to run around in circles
I tried to stay there, I tried to stay there
but I couldn’t stop the circles
Though we're running deep in circles
circles is the way that it goes
We’ll go around
I’ll come around
hope we can be inside the same circles

<I've been waiting so very long for you to come out from inside me and sing this song
>Yes I can feel cause I'm here with you. Anything that you do I feel too.
<Do you remember when we met? Thats when you began to be my closet pet.
>Yes I remember. I remember it so well. When are we gonna go out and tell?
<Well you know that its a little quite frightening. When we tell em, ooo, to some its gonna hit em like lightening.
>Yes I realize, but I can't stand it in here no more. When are we gonna go out and feel grass on the floor?
< Oh do you remember that time on the train? I can't deal with more in situations like that.
> Oh yes I remember, but it didn't hurt me because we just came home where we could be
< Yes but its at home
> But you are the home
< Home
> is
< where
> the heart is
< Well I guess we're not gonna talk anymore
> But we'll still know. We won't need to communicate cause we'll be thinking the same thing.
< That's true.
< So are you saying what I think you're saying?
> Yeah
< Are you saying that we are one?
> We are one
< We are one

They Moved Again
06:47

And then you move to your own time
And then you move on your own time
You try to stay still but you gotta move
And then you move
Help me, oh help me
try to move
And you try to say no matter what there's got to be something
So then you move to get other things cleared
so they can move towards you
And you don't need to move for no one else
And then you play, oh, you play
so that you move to the groove
And then it hurts when it stops
So then you move bit more
It doesn't necessarily need to be a continued force
but you move just in case it breaks
So you move until you can't move anymore
And you close your eyes
And someone sees your eyes when you sleep and they still move
Oh help me, oh help me
Help me move
And so they move together
from the same second
And when it stops they stop too
But in their heads they still move
And even when its still they move
And even when the thrill is gone they move
And even when it hurts they especially move
And when its done they're moved
And when its all over it has moved
And its moved over so that other things can move
And then they move over
so the new can move

That Evolution
04:45
|
|||
|
New fast legs that can run
Ridding old senses of fear
Finding out new ways to hide
No longer needing those foods
Walking so calmly for the first time
How did they know that they can?
That evolution
Why did they go near?
What was wrong with staying right here?
It wasn't good enough
It wasn't good enough
Oh a faint sense of a need
in where they stood
Had to go into the dream
And somehow knew that they could
Climbing up into the tree
To see what they could see
And to get away
Oh the will to live
Oh the will to live
How will they live
New fast legs that can run
Ridding old senses of fear
Finding out new ways to hide
No longer needing those fools
Walking so calmly to the next town
Finding a way to look around

I sit and think inside a head
That is not mine, but your's instead
What is this voice that I mimic?
The clock tic tocs, toc tics then tics
What would Sandra say if she were here?
I guess she's not so leave it there
Go for the 30 day trial
After I give that a try I'll
cancel for a 30 day more while
-ROUGE-
Make a meal with two different colors in it
What did she mean when she said "innit?"
Coulda, woulda, shoulda but can't pin it
-ROUGE-
-ROUGE-
Cycles cycle on and still I'm off
Eyes tighten with the thought of Christoph
The smell of wood then the feel of fear
I hope there's enough water near
Probably not cause I drank it all
to keep from asking "why don't I feel it all?"
Don't let it at the same time just let it
Be what you wanna be and set it
Coulda, woulda, shoulda, but don't forget the alarm you better set it
-ROUGE-
Put a solution in your head
Find something else to put instead
Now I know what I should have said
-ROUGE-
-ROUGE-
-ROUGE-

I've found this state of mind
for about an hour's time
This must be the one
That means that life of fun
Maintain to keep it there
Breakaway, but I feel the tear
Is this what I let soar?
How do I know if I've never felt this flame before?
Pass through these states of mine
Find those I don't seem to mind
Keep the obvious ones
If only there were obvious ones
That's not true, I've felt a few
Then they grew, disappeared and then renewed
Disguised themselves as things to fear
Now I see, easily
Pity the old me couldn't agree
But thats just how one goes
I try for the reasons that keep me from home
There's a fire that burns there and in my heart
I stay in fears and in hopes that they'll become familiar
And I can know them
and I can finally let them pass on by
Let me think
Too much think
Start to think
Need a drink
Start to feel it move
From the toes
to the nose
Around it goes
Does it show?
Standing in this moment of still
Then another comes
And I don't think that I can face this one
So I run in hopes it'll stay where I used to stand
But the fire spreads all over my body
So I stop
and then I drop
and then, oh and then
Its a flame
Ba-bum-ba-dum
