Dragon Kite 03:13
one door closes, another opens that's how i've always lived, it's worked for me so far you leave the house like ha ha ha have a look around used to make me laugh like ha ha ha had to see you one more time grinning through the auburn leaves contorted in the wind with glowing eyes and tongues of fire held only by a string dancing and turning you notice a dragon kite flying through the sky

how long will this consume me? well it's been a while since i've come up for air wash over, pass right through me cross my heart and sell my soul and face my fear you provided transportation, picked me up when i was broken down on the side of the road like a punch to the throat my lunatic, so much love to give until you feel drained your heart's in a tailspin slipping past the turnstile i was out before they opened up the gates first year of the rocket on the one that's bound to make it all the way (for goodness sake) but what about our hearts? what about our bodies when they're far apart? and could they remain still one and the same?

Song for B 05:11
another year in paradise spent withering away meanwhile on the other side they're laughing in your face so come on down, we have ourselves a winner it's a five star heaven, i'm a wide-eyed believer i would give anything to stand with you now you could push anything, no fraction of doubt about it off in your way of always disappearing or stopping to stare, take it in take a picture, it will last longer oh, i'd know you anywhere, it's been you this whole time my dearest enemy, reflection of mine oh, who set you off? and who led you on? well B's on their way and they won't be long
4.
common ground, head filled with doubt heavy drought, wishing for rain to fill up my mouth red letters, low-hanging clouds i met you in the bottom of a swimming pool emptied out local gangs, my 40 thieves trouble hangs, yeah it fills up the air floats on the breeze 666, the mark of the beast i saw you through the window of a passing train headed east
5.
any other time i could let it go but something didn't sit right in my soul breathing in sync, how could i forget? sailing for the end like a train, like a jet everything was beautiful and nothing hurt guess i got exactly what i deserve think i know the reason why you stay up late black cross, Blue Smiley

Evening Song 03:08
Benji was a hell of a liar boy could talk his way out a cage full of tigers caught up at a crime scene crying DO NOT CROSS Now he's moving on in the evening, sun setting low feel the change of the seasons a couple things left to believe in, number one: Stav collaged a thousand dreams she cut out of a magazine and draped you in a tapestry of stars This will be our year, took a long time to come Still feel you with me even now that you're gone I hung a couple stars on the ceiling, staring at the wall where the paint started peeling post-apocalyptic vacancy feeling- no one home But I saw you through the hazy glow of my new favorite TV show called, "It's the Ones We Love Who Hurts Us Most" One day we'll all look back on this mess and laugh Spoke to your heartbeat, laid my head on your chest You can't back yourself into a cage, drive yourself half insane only when you've run out of time only when there's no place left to turn Stuck in your same old ways you still refuse to change and still expect me to behave and play along with all your little games You gotta take care and say goodbye

omw 00:50
if i could return to my father's birthday if i could celebrate our safety i'd wake up early, walk to your place but oh my brother, i'm so caught up i keep on tripping on the small stuff
9.
small town waitress in an ambulance two strangers on a rooftop singing words long forgotten quick roll through the routine new sketches from that unwinding vision cut a cloth for a blindfold or a tourniquet pull me under, hold me up deja vu, my day dream dropped hold me under, pull me up my saving grace, my fatal flaw drifting through the trees now on the edge of agelessness keep my tongue inside my cheek just for the moment speak no more now child, we must be movin on meet me in the middle or meet me on the outskirts redirect the course to follow in your footsteps trail behind impatient at least it won't be long
10.
Empty Planet 05:55
every now and again i surprise even myself empty planet and still, i get by, i'm fine by myself but when i'm not alone, something more to show stressed out, bent out of shape and for what? you got nothing to lose ice age, nuclear death, global warming still pales to the blues yeah you wind me up just to let me go like i'm coasting downhill like i'm drinking my fill, right? cuz we don't have work in the morning like we resurrected a way of living right a long time out, a long way back to change it now, to make this last you want it bad? know that all they ask, your entire life spent working towards it so when you finally hold it will you know? left me stranded on an empty planet waiting
11.
Sinking In 04:12
i've been thinking bout sinking my teeth and sinking in deep neon signs to usher me in and light my ascent somehow i knew where to begin, start over again in disbelief, houses of water run through my fingers slow release, hollowed out and traced it back to when i first could see now i'm the type of girl who knows what she wants i've come too far to turn around and give it up too high to fall and let go now drifting on through the night, hold on for dear life now one hell of a ride sinking, deep as the knife or deep as the ocean, deep as the sky i've been digging my hands in the earth, my roots in the dirt you're the reason i laugh when it hurts, i smile when it's worse Amelia, someone finally had the guts to stick it out with ya shoplifting flowers, pressed in a book and sealed away and when i finally came back down my words were too fast for my mouth
12.
i hope that when i die i get to go back to the 90s i'd do it all again maybe next time things could be different well no one chose the game i heard em calling out my name and answered like a bitter ghost, how far away you float neither one of use knows how long is left to go i guess when looking back they say that hindsight is 2020 yeah this that coup de gras consider this your final warning might not be coming back i hope to God there's something after
