1.	The Tide 03:27	lyrics	buy track
Inside the phone lines you can hear the tide And while dreams are changing you know that long lives the sky I hear that same old distress in the way that you breathe air Don't you know that these songs are all for you, my dear? Oh, if your mind goes in and out with the tide Forgive and forget Forgive and forget Wonderful, freaky imagined eyes Don't you know that love will carry you on? Tonight we will fly to the sun to the stars and beyond
2.	The Chicken 04:34	lyrics	buy track
A pillow-soft life in a plain brown cage The directions I'm supposed to aim will lead me to a pile of broken wings of the ones who bow and eat the grain So tell me why you are insisting on running away? 'Cause it feels so right, 'cause it feels so right And why are your eyes always focused on miles away? Because I have seen the coming attraction And nothing around can cause you to consider a stay? Not on your life, not in your lifetime so say goodnight to the unmoved, the captive the shrill and the house fed the cockerel and demons of pace I can move faster than a disaster! Overwhelming, once caged they fly above me Holding the tickets of the hesitant Ambition wrestled from the dark days Well I've done no wrong but I'm willing to with my sharp beak and my pointed view My eyes can see the sun before the rise and tomorrow looks better than tonight So tell me why you are insisting on running away? 'Cause it feels so right, 'cause it feels so right And why are your eyes always focused on miles away? Because I have seen the coming attraction And why when you get somewhere you are never planning to stay? Because the axe has legs of its own And you're aware of the bats and the predators of starry eyed travelers who think they can maintain their pace? I can move faster than a disaster! Oh yeah, and the chickens come to play Overwhelming, once caged And what you ate you are now running from They scratch and peck upon ye!
3.	The World I See 03:29	lyrics	buy track
Constellations tore my face in light poured in with oxygen and whispered one word: 'Elevation' Like a kiss from Mt. Olympus I was free Tell me, what are the things you can see through? Saw your face in a raisin Saw your dreams in the breeze Saw your thoughts in the shade and wondered could this ever happen to me? WHy are you always feeling so see-through? We're just cosmic dust floating spatially through the stars above in the world I see Take the universe and throw it on me I feel like taking a bath in my own energy The more I want one, I feel that there is a God The more I toss and turn, the more that I am sure that there is movement here as the planet turns and as we enjoy life we are becoming pure This is the renaissance of the renaissance of the renaissance
4.	Reaction 04:27	lyrics	buy track
Her reaction to the combining of her life and her new memories was run away The reaction released some energy and a prediction of the world ending so run away Take a photo, catch the moment Forget the moment in that instant passes by She's unstable in her persistence to exist in what she's seeing now, today If you choose to follow breeze down the current there will be crescendo in the melody reaction in the chemistry I'm connected to the ground However when I look around those that are in different times seem to be floating behind, as the earth moves
5.	Rubber Man 03:19	lyrics	buy track
I thought I was in the clear but here comes Rubber Man I thought it was a new year but here comes Rubber Man We need to call in the fleet to deal with Rubber Man Can't even walk down the street because of Rubber Man All circles becoming square because of Rubber Man I put on all of my flair because of Rubber Man When everybody comes to stare it's to see Rubber Man So just pull up a chair, 'cause here comes Rubber Man Held a roast of my ghost thanks to Rubber Man Thought it was just a hoax but it was Rubber Man My girlfriend left me a note mentioning Rubber Man Not even an ocean will float thanks to Rubber Man
6.	Scrambled 04:31	lyrics	buy track
She asked him why his eyes were open he was making sure her eyes were closed With the question of love in their future they moved forward and pushed through the snow But when moments cemented the answers into torn-apart, tear-stained pillows To those lonely and underpaid actors indecision had broken unknowns Decide or stay the same For the sun and the eating of sunshine and stars a scrambled-egg future; a worn, weathered smile the beautiful notion of radiant danger is the burden of infinite possible lives He asked her why her eyes weren't open she was making sure his never closed While she could delight in a rainstorm his mind only saw tornados Aging's a whimpering action See the blue men who curse at the sky feeling midlife distress of a passion The cessation of trying to fly Decide or stay the same Put love inside or stay the same Reel me back in to the things that I knew I should remember way back in my early life Create a short poem to remember faster surround the contenders move in and decide

9.	Mercury 03:47	lyrics	buy track
When I touch you, your skin melts into mine It pours into me like mercury Orange halo, you torrential sky does it have to take my life for you just to stay tonight? Tangerine with all of your precious saliva and tasty dreams I want to feel sticky I want to feel baited I want to move swiftly towards the cliff's edge If we let go, we'll be smashed along the earth We'll tumble and break, it would be a mistake But I want to be fearless, and not a grasping thread and float along by half a thousand meters high Let me please show up to the judgement will all of my faculties I've been a creator with sympathy on my lips Please let me pass through without looking at my sins Inside we could be folding blankets of the ocean while superimposing our raw lives exposing onto a bristling vessel of symmetry but the gingivitis feels so good on my teeth
10.	Tomahawk 04:13	lyrics	buy track
Seeking modern life without a care she will go down into the lens of a romance of a shadow where she works all day, all night so that tomorrow comes along There's a cornerstone holding a place where the echo of my footsteps were heard long ago where she spoke into my eyes and kissed the merchant of my soul WIth her rose-colored hair she goes anywhere she wishes And that come-hither stare conquers me SHe faces east and she works all day, all night The sounds of human screams as she works all day, all night When the state divines it is the time to go on down into a trance all of her own she works all day, all night keeping her followers in breathless tow Some try to understand others just glance and then pretend that they know that when she breathes her air it is the morning sky that gleams as it is gifted of the sight Of her rose-colored hair and a notion of a girl who could redact all their cares with a com-hither stare With a tomahawk she cleaves into the night leaving an endless trail of headless freaks behind
11.	The Golden Sunrise 03:55	lyrics	buy track
I have penny bread it's very close to me The more the sun rises the more I am hungry Today, the night yesterday, the evening I have been here all day are you staying or leaving? And how will we decide our strategic feelings? Is there room for the sky where I am dreaming? Hold on, sunrise Golden sunrise Washed upon the world is time and it's what creates the end
12.	Turbulence 04:45	lyrics	buy track
Face forward and speak into the raging sea It's easy when no one can hear you when the ocean is turbulent Hold on to me and I will be all that you need My voice was created to sing you into my arms again Without a whisper of doubt in your mind about anything spread our your fate and reach out to the love you've been forgetting Witness a scene of endless reaches of gleam reflective beaches of motion - but notice Nobody knows anything Restrictions are relative Nobody knows anything Of this I am positive Face forward and speak into the rain We all know nobody knows anything so don't be so hesitant to throw me onto your sea of weakness, desire and dreams and I will be there to assist you and to show you the moves ahead
