Five Fingers 05:26
Ten fingers two ears ring five of those fingers hold everything how can they reach the sky? (reach the sky) Before they even fly? (even fly) I don’t know but I can’t stop watching them born so different hanging shins different mothers same sins Time to let them go (let them go) to where they’ll really show (really show) their face to another place We’ve lost another in two weeks then we sit here in captivity But why do they go? (do they go) No one really knows (really knows) but hey, that ain’t nothing new Oh ain't it such a thing to be everything in the nothing but I wait, but I wait for a while for a coin, for a drink, or a smile when you’re ready, when you're ready let me know let me know what it is you want

Mesquite 04:28
The water comes down They flush to a sea Where they get into boats And they manage to flee And go with the flow As we wait like some bait for a modern pa to make a flaw with a law and a new definition for “all” Holding on Occipital to the thumbs Cover ears with the palms Favorite song sung in a hum By the velvet mesquite Where the guards cannot see someone sees the bright light of possibility and when it moves they yell “run” Amá and apá sweat yet baby is cold it shivers with the quivers of the 8 year old’s concrete hold Come out of the sun Into the inside A drop into the rising tide The old won’t hold Noé was the one who was their ideal Forced to dream, dream until he’s real now his touch and codes now intertwining, the pulse silently refining On both sides of the wall So we see how it can fall Cause our hands, well they move with this electrical groove And the dirt in our nails becomes soil when it gets wet from the tide

For Teen 04:18

Somebody went and moved me Out of my head There were so many others So many dead Now someone’s gonna go move me Move me around And I’m gonna move thee ’til ground And they’re gonna move me All around Until it hurts me and I can’t hear a sound Cause somebody’s gonna move me Move it all around Where did it go to? Cause I feel it there Stuffed it in a bag Stuffed it on my back There was a little wiggle inside One I’d never felt even close to before And it was kinda moving Moving all around It was just like a movie Without any sound But you’re gonna try and move me Somewhere But I’m gonna move me Somewhere

Circles 07:07
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 been around I been around this circle before Though things always running deep in circles Circles are the way that it goes That it goes 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 just had to keep on moving in our circles Though things always running deep in circles Circles are 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 things always running deep in circles Circles is the way that it goes That it goes We’ll go around I’ll come around Hope we can be inside the same circles

The time has come for you to leave this bar now I’m sure you can find something at home to do with all that you’ve heard tonight Walking home alone Looking at the phone Tell me, what's my name? What is this game? I’ve been walking around, looking for some time Tell me, what's this game? Do I really need to know it all? Know it all It's time to head on home Tell me what's your game, if you were to know it all? All these pains so easily at hand Tell me what's your name? Did you play that game? I think you did I’m the last thing that I can play with now

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 Break away, but I fear 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 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 that's 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, 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 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, it's a flame
