Running 02:45
lyrics
I’m against the war and the war after that Good for nothing, not that anyone asked Fascists anonymous, among us Novel spectres, blank slates gone bad But badness ain’t the worst when you See yourself come alive, circumventing Your emotions for their notions, ‘cause you’re A grown man crawling, bawling Weeping in his mother’s womb today Led astray and on the way Occupation doesn’t save when people die in the street Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, BAE Better to run rum, be poor and wasted, throw the game, a shaky mess Than running guns for monetary recompense Poisonings in Egypt Poisonings in Sudan Bad reviews on foreign soil Before the Hiroshima plan Gotta look after your sister Gotta look after your wife Gotta look after your mother Your brother, father, life I am the son of proletarians Pretending to be bourgeois I’m the daughter of bourgeois Pretending to be proletarians Occupation doesn’t save when people die in the street Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, BAE Better to run rum, be poor and wasted, throw the game, a shaky mess Than running guns for monetary recompense

Levitate 03:02
lyrics
Relegated to the minor leagues The Fallen Birds picked daisies in the field But understanding their devotion to this craft And cherishing the power that they yield You’ve gotta look on past the rats and cats Pedestrian, shitty days, the way they scramble When you throw a piece of meat their way expecting nothing else but play And making life way too much to handle Show up to the silence, never in the distance Right below your feet, right below where you stand Doesn’t take a moment, doesn’t take a second Doesn’t take the money you’ve been spendin’ To rectify and codify and dignify your eyes And levitate with two feet off the ground But hovering an inch at twenty three or seventy Is better than the ecstasy they peddle by the mound Ava’s getting off second shift And making room to think and feel and know Forget and grow, admit to the static But in this space, she’s glowing ‘Cause Levi’s spitting out the door One track only, to the ticket station To go and go and go and never know The life that he disrupts refusing to Show up to the silence, never in the distance Right below your feet, right below where you stand Doesn’t take a moment, doesn’t take a second Doesn’t take the money you’ve been spendin’ To rectify and codify and dignify your eyes And levitate with two feet off the ground But hovering an inch at twenty three or seventy Is better than the ecstasy they peddle by the mound

Seeing Stars 02:42
lyrics
Detrimental circumstance we find ourselves in Is taking way too long to pass by But every day, I walk on steady and dead And float in the mist while avoiding a lie Afternoon, I’m seeing stars I’m picking up cash from the back of the bar I’ll try to get lost in the melody’s tune But I can’t be me if I can’t be with you Theravada, radio, devilish instinct Wrapped around the evergreens, strong in the wind This woman says we’re going round again Don’t want to end up a rabbit hunted and skinned Afternoon, I’m seeing stars I’m picking up cash from the back of the bar I’ll try to get lost in the melody’s tune But I can’t be me if I can’t be with you All around The missiles firing over again The weight of the world Is a weight I’ll incur no longer, no longer, no longer, no longer Afternoon, I’m seeing stars I’m picking up cash from the back of the bar I’ll try to get lost in the melody’s tune But I can’t be me if I can’t be with you Afternoon, I’m seeing stars I’m picking up cash from the back of the bar I’ll try to get lost in the melody’s tune But I can’t be me if I can’t be with you

This Constellation 02:40
lyrics
I’ve got the love of a woman She’s got the love of me No price tag or reservation Until eternity I’d take the sea to the other sea And cross a forest of trees As payment for this constellation It’s difficult to accept free, but I don’t have to It’s not the way that you add up But the way you fit together As puzzles have pieces, painters have colors And killers have heads to sever I’m not around anymore ‘Cause the rest of my life wouldn’t knock at the door It refuses to knock You are everything All that I want, all that I want You are all I need A different code, a different creed You are everything All that I want, all that I want You are all I need A different code, a different creed

Hello to a Marigold 02:39
lyrics
I love the way I get confused Labyrinthine design I love the way you know what I need When I’m hopeless all the time You owe a hello to a marigold You owe an afternoon to a magpie You owe me nothing at all But a nod as you pass me by Freddy made the wealthy come into his arms Gena brought the masses to her feet “Damn, oh well,” He said in a voice, tired but complete Remember when I had no love A bounding box all around me Freezing, drowning Life without a focus You owe a hello to a marigold You owe an afternoon to a magpie You owe me nothing at all But your love as you pass me by

No Better 02:05
lyrics
Trees and the mountains growing around Won’t give the life I’m looking for now There’s more to the earth than flipping a frown And more to cure depression than a clown Medicine men and employed engineers Running around all alone Fragilely contributing to fear Feet crunching on bone But this is a tune about life This one’s for beginnings Radically witnessing everything you are And letting you know you’re forgiven ‘Cause I’m no better
7.
Once in a Blue Moon 02:30
lyrics
Every time I see you Through the window When we skip formalities And choose to sway side to side Once in a blue moon Once in a blue moon Every time I hear you breathing Round the corner When we skip the daydreams Right to the nightmares Stop producing And start living Stop consuming And stop beginning Once in a blue moon Once in a blue moon

Picasso's Guitar 02:11
lyrics
Painting a dream you had last night Prophesying his return Devastation’s never abstract Every mortal feels the burn I know the truth I know the light I’m going to fight the good fight I know the light I know the truth As I have known you Everything that makes you who you are Plucking madness from the earth Limbs like flowers in the dirt Everything I cannot live without Punching down, not holding back Depravity, collect the cash He wasn’t an asshole But he painted funny The Guernica is on the wall At the place where I got the worst coffee I know the truth I know the light I’m going to fight the good fight I know the light I know the truth As I have known you Everything that makes you who you are Plucking madness from the earth Limbs like flowers in the dirt Everything I cannot live without Punching down, not holding back Depravity, collect the cash

Pics on Ur Phone 02:08
lyrics
I learned about the family from you I learned about the enemies of all mankind You told a tale and wrapped it up in truth Even when the truth wouldn’t come to you What everybody wants from you is not (Pics on your phone and you’re never all alone) What you think we need you to do (Pics on your phone and you’re never all alone) Never wanted you to be alone (Pics on your phone and you’re never all alone) But you are now, and you know it, and it’s okay, and it’s okay You took a couple images on your phone You put ‘em side to side and made a story The narrative is incomplete but true And I’m incomplete without you What everybody wants from you is not (Pics on your phone and you’re never all alone) What you think we need you to do (Pics on your phone and you’re never all alone) Never wanted you to be alone (Pics on your phone and you’re never all alone) But you are now, and you know it, and it’s okay, and it’s okay (Pics on your phone and you’re never all alone)

Riddles 02:27
lyrics
Relishing the midnight madness The sun and God are one and the same Relics of life passing, life moving on And a void in my apocalyptic brain Synths in the city, violins in the street And the steel drum down in the alley Radical discourse in student accommodation Reactionary measures out in the valley I’m glad we’re moving on from that I’m glad we’re making life in the middle Of dust and the middle of marriage And avoiding eternal, damnable riddles All in vain but me and you All for the reasons nobody cares about All in vain but me and you All questioning if love is a handout I’m glad we’re moving on from that I’m glad we’re making life in the middle Of dust and the middle of marriage And avoiding eternal, damnable riddles All in vain but me and you All for the reasons nobody cares about All in vain but me and you All questioning if love is a handout
