Data Farm 06:17
There is a body behind The market we're strollin by Drifted to fruit and fly I'm stranded in wasted life traded, trailing behind Wander with crusted eye Rotted from stem to rind I want it but seldom try It could be me Or it could be useless I'm thinking that she Grew up on a data farm Like the sound of a murder Or the words that'll hurt her Bombs of audio to disarm It's that endless need to cut out at knees what is ours But I'm ok with all that In Paris, up echo stairs Apartment, it needs repair Sandalwood in the air Stay in your underwear Through window, a city cry Counting the ceiling eye My body, sentient disguise I'm grateful, but out of time The fences are mean The cattle are useless I'm coming clean I live on a data farm It's like this tickets a winner But still sat there through dinner Jabs we mumble to pick it apart It's just that endless need to always be in love Or just another platonic Tongue to heart catatonic And then ran out into the yard That's why she said to me you'll alway be alone But I'm ok with all that I feel it more with a dull sword Volcanic ground My open seams, my torn up jeans My ashy crown Roll on the piles of dollar Like the stacks of the slaughter Perfect suiters sent to the door I can guarantee it'll never be enough Like the scorn of a mother Or the nag of a lover Every flaw you see in your art A voice heard faint and mean, you'll never be enough Don't give a fuck about that

Time Capsule 04:45
Sweet little thing Got lost parked your car right up on the sidewalk You're an ageless queen How long til you unearth your time capsule? All those rusted dreams The things you thought would make millions are garbage The girl of your teens Wrote you a letter, a wish list of promise But you're just poisoning Everyone who would die for you in silence You've been an absentee You're as clean as the crows are quiet You're as clean as the crows are quiet You're as clean as the crows are quiet You're as clean as the dozers Lost in the mail Golden record on the voyager Trouble on the trail For the interstellar Mozart Not finding anything I doubt they'll find anything in time Crashed on the lawn, You need the past, that old shoebox of knowledge Your old you long gone Just a collage of your boyfriends from college Those old Mayan kings You conquered them now your calendars are empty The friends you don't see You scraped them off like the frost on your windshield Hey, what about me? Were all my efforts meaningless but valiant? What do you adore? You're as clear as those stone hieroglyphics You're as clear as the Congo in the night and the fight You're as clear as a house full of spirits You're as clear as the protesters' plight You're as clear as the riots You're as clear as the riots You're as clear as Orion You're as clear as the riots Time capsule

She drips like a candle all across my mind Doesn't want to live her life too ordinary I want her shape like a vase She caught me faded away She strums my strings I feel her in my spine Her breath is chilled, a cemetery breeze Wouldn't be caught dead living ordinary Painted me one of her dreams I'm as pale as the color scheme We do dumb things A dozen through the night Just keep shooting them down Just keep dragging your feet Shoot the other men down Build them up on the sheets The shops are opening up, her estuary knees Outside they don't know it's all momentary The T.V. snows, her tracer hands On paper rolls, piles of plans The bulbs in rows, the cars in jams The lens exposed, the lights are banned Just keep shooting them down Just keep falling asleep Shoot the other ones down Billow up like a sheet Parachuting them down Parachuting them down Parachuting them down Parachuting them down

This Resolve 02:49
Porcelain days China cup This resolve is foreign Like me alone walking in Accra It's these strange things that pour into me and I may never know why My evil ways Crushed a bug This resolve is foreign Pheromones in Antartica It's life's brittle beings placed under me and I may never know why For a long, long, long, long time But that's alright Cuz this resolve is foreign Like me at home back in Omaha It's time's greater schemes that tower over me

Well, you look so smart and so full of grace When you part your hair that way Am I the first thing that you'd find But the last one you'd consider? Cause my bad behavior has waster all your time. And you keep your mind calm like a lake I know your spirit is a river And I'm just a crater littered with mistakes Are you better now? Why you so terrified by things that'll please you? Fearsome softer sounds Are you still waiting on the one who will treat you Better now? Someone to poke their cute little head through Your window down Could there be something better? Could you be cool with doubt? What if you were wrong and there's no one to greet you When you're placed in the ground? Just decomposing like all other things do When you settle down You'll become the earth the dirt grass and trees, too Yea, you'll come around Could there be something better?

Make me feel better and stay in this town. What do those other towns got that we don't have anyway? They may have a drive in, but only ironically. We have one just because it's still here. So stay in this town and make me feel better.

I've been alone feels like a hundred years I guess I've lived too long But it gave me time to be contemplative On the things that we've done wrong And how nothing can get passed you You block the shot every time Guess I never really ask you but I hope that you're doing alright You've always been my Red Baron You shot me down You became immortalized But please, don't make me laugh Or I'll miss you I've been asleep feels like a million years I guess it's been too long Let's rest in peace and wink at the times we had and the crazy things we've done In Beijing on a hospital bed You told me we were family for life I may have saved your life that day but You saved mine every night Nothing ever snuck passed you Never found asleep at your post I never used to ask you but What makes you happy the most? I know you'll always love me like a brother And yea, I'll always protect you like a knight I just wish we still loved each other Like some shiny husband and bride But nothing ever gets passed you I can't hide a thing from your eyes Guess I never really got passed you 'cause My life ever since is a lie I'm sending this by Pony Express Cause I'm not sure I want it to reach you in time But please, don't take this hard Or I'll miss you

Well, I've been living a lie and I can never go home I've been dreaming of dying and I can never believe that there's a difference Well, I've been leading life it took me further from home If I believe that I'm fine Why should I ever believe that there's a difference? I might be tangled in vines Maybe this isn't some self discovery I'm just living a life any weather is home I've been dreaming of flying How could I ever believe that there's a difference? I might have stepped out of line Maybe I just need more time recovering We'll, I've been living a lie and I can never go home I've been dreaming of dying and I can never believe that there's a difference I've been living a lie

Scandariato Do you remember Dakota? And our talk in the gutter? You told me everything You and I hypnotized MV Explorer, kid Are we rocked on the water? You were more like a brother We could say anything Seemed like another life Keep in touch You’re moving mountains Oh, Kyotango Have you grown like your sugar? Is there ink in the blotter? You told me Life is Sweet 365 Hey, Philosophical Am I finding you centered? When I’m dabbling Buddha Only half awake You tell me go back home Keep in touch All minds inform you Yo, Hypodermic When ya plan to recover? Check your pulse for the daughter Take in the little things Just keep yourself alive Hello, Elmina Strange seeing each other Ride the Gold Coast together Escape’s down the other way Just a cruise on a motorbike Keep in touch I know where you come from So long you wild ones To all my friends Drifted, scattered in fall out To all my friends I am making the call now To all my friends, Keep in touch
