Box of Blue 04:15
Remember your name, the father that gave, the mother that slaved, All for you If that’s not the case, don’t you lose faith, were an imperfect race, No need to remind you You’re a timeless time in a foreign fix, you’re feeling brave again, Under a different skin HoW TheY RaiseD YoU, Don’T LeT it PhasE YoU, PuzzleS PiecE to FaLL AparT, We ArE ThE FuturE, OuR FatE WilL FinD US, Don’T ForgeT IT, ComforT CurE, YoU ArE YouR OnlY FEAR With Bodies ground in the grave, Remember what you have before its too late, Money Mouth Keep it Clipped, Educate to forget it, Follow footsteps fleeing a path already paved, Ego tripping sunny sanctuary of my day, I’m so slow-you are fast You’re short term, I will last We’re comfortable in a BoX oF BLUE Your left-my right-meet me in the middle of the night, Shoeshine-blue eyes, repetition rules you, do you feel surprised? Comfort Cure- Narrow Clear-Stuck in it for years Give it up-Get so Close-One hole will fit us both In a Box- like it here- you are your only fear

Simple Sound 03:56
Simple Siren, Spin me quicker, Take me to nothing, nothing is something, Turn off your mouth, Open Ears now, Silence-Find it-Simple Sound These simple strings hold this heavy ground, Look Around, Material decay another replay focus in and out, How can you say it’s someone else? It’s yourself Don’t Slip-You’ll Slide, Thick thoughts Divide What’s wrong? What’s right? Get tuned inside There’s an echo coming for your eyes, Eatin Sleepin Lies, Surprise- SurprisE Who are you? Who are you? WHO- ArE YoU? Where are we? Where are we? WHERE- ArE WE? AsK yourself Questions to find out, Change is a constant when you let it out, Under the excess material possessive There’s something that’s seeking a real believing, Were fooling to feel, in a mirror of movement It’s a simple sound you have already found, Cut the complex clown, turn around- Find your ground Lose yourself, just let it breathe The Simple Sound, Will grow the Tree

Deep in Decay, I can feel you there Tell me you care Time, Gone away, holiday It’s over now, you see how Grown away, gone astray, I will pray for the day when were alive, and it feels right, Were burning bright Disconnect, Recollect, Who am I? Who am I? Resurrect from my head Come to Life, come to life I want to GroW old with YoU, Want to take time, want to have all of you, But where is your love? Where is your heart now? Wish to dream I spare the time it takes to get to you Sober sadness, drunken madness, I have changed my ways Keep us healthy, make us happy, Fill the flaws with greed Come back to where we were at, It was never over, you thought love would make us sober, Now you’re gone I want to GroW old with YoU, Want to take time, want to have all of you, Here is my heart, all my love for you, Old as time I walk the line in hopes of reaching you

Foxtrot flashgun, flake white flagstone, Fall off the edge, you aren’t misread, Inward Onward moving forward, Life is a death, life is a death Feel it Breathe it just embrace it You will connect, you will connect Don’t you hide, close your eyes, When something’s missing Wonder why, were so shallow shy, Scared to die, wonder why, were scared to die? Equal even being, I’m seeing Try to, look inside, intertwine Watch it all align, as we start to find, TrutH in TimE, you Can’T RewinD

I look back but now I know, The past is only but a show, Head is spinning, thoughts too loud, Sucked inside a somber drought, These secrets wont come out, The sink is dripping plastic white, Feels like a butter knife, And if you run run away from me, You will run into me, Caught in a circular shape IdentifieD, DesensitizeD, IN BetweeN InvisiblE LineS, From the outside in, I’m inside out, I need to shut it down, Keep a quiet mind, all of the time, All of the time, ALL OF THE TIME

Gender game, we all play, Let out your animal, Get out the cage, get out your cage, Feel strange-We are Strange, You are your answer, The beautiful disaster I’m ToO MucH, But NoT EnougH I want you to listen, I know you will understand, I am here you are now- no matter how Death dark find you, Smile shine sun is with you, Slow speak your soft tongue, Keep the nudist numb, Blank vein butterfly, Sweeten sugared lies, Love is lost in our liquid nation, Your money hungry over saturated I’m ToO MucH, But NoT EnougH, Just want you to listen, I know you will understand, True Freak Inner seek, I am here you are now- no matter how
