Leather 03:38
LEATHER Air is cold The air is colder Face is cold You touch my shoulder When I breath, the weight is heavy Moving slow but you’re moving steady Bring you in to the world of helter Bring you in make your dreams all skelter Fashion touch with a touch of leather Air is cold The air is colder Face is cold you touch my shoulder When I breath the weight is heavy Moving slow but you’re moving steady

Jam 03:01
JAM I  am twisting As I lay Slowly twisting Made of clay I am reaching Touch the stars Slowly reaching Is it far? Is it worry- Some for you? I have found my Ice in you I am turning Twice today Simple burning Yesterday I am crashing Off the stars I am thrashing To a char Is it worry- Some for you I have found my Ice in you

Planet 04:20
Planet There is a planet I do remember And it’s covered with electric fence The sky is hot The sky is bluer When I talk it doesn’t make much sense There is a planet I do remember And it’s covered with electric fence The sky is hot The sky is bluer When I talk it doesn’t make much sense I remember I cried I remember I died There is a time I do remember Don’t recall being so alone We could ride off to forever Turn around and the sun has shone There is a time I do remember Don’t recall being so alone We could ride off to forever Turn around and the sun has shone I remember I cried I remember I died I remember I cried I remember I died

Situation 04:49
Situation This dream has reached as These stars are real I've taken wings up off the ground They look like they feel An angel lies to make me understand I've pulled the straps on An angel takes me by the hand These bones are all wrong Change / change / change / change These gears are working smooth as if they were Bones, flesh, & blood My arms can reach infinity Chrome, flesh, & mud It's just a step away from here I feel it breathing Just a step & I can fly This angel's seething Change / change / change / change Twist off the heat Twist off the sheet Twist off the meat Twist off the beat Twist off the heat Twist off the sheet Twist off the meat Twist off the beat Twist off / twist off / twist off / twist off Turn off / turn off / turn off / turn off This dream has reached a saturation I feel It beating This touch is twice a step away from I feel it heating This cold has caused my neck to stiffen These bones are hollow This cold has caused my wings to twist Twist off the sheet Change / change / change / change

10,000 monsters Living in fear 10,000 moving from there to Here and here Without the monsters being so near Without the monsters my vision is Clear and clear Take off my shoes I Take off my shirt I spin around to see which Side is hurt With all my fingers turning to dirt I turn left and right and Skirt and skirt I sleep with monsters They live in my bed I sleep with monsters they Move and Stumble In my head Without the monsters I’d sooner be dead Without the monsters there’s nothing but red and red I lock the closets I slam the doors But deep inside I’m wanting More and more It takes a second No maybe it's four Before you know it we're Swimming in War and war You are my monster Give me your hand You are my monster Roll, stumble, move Buried in the sand Take a breath theres Nothing you can Take a reason it's time to Plan and plan I sleep with monsters They live in my head I sleep with monsters they Move and Stumble In my bed Without the monsters I’d sooner be dead Without the monsters there’s nothing but red and red

Gone 04:40
GONE Come take the lighting The shelter isn’t A thing it’s frightening All sitting distant Come take the snow storm It’s sharpness cuts me The cold is rapture The cold is Gone The weight is wanting The weight of action The switch is trusting The trust is waiting Come take this arrow And pierce your conscience Attack the narrow And breath it’s Gone Come take the lightning The shelter isn’t A thing it’s frightening All sitting distant Come take the snowstorm It’s sharpness cuts me The cold is rapture The cold is Gone

Fishbowl 03:06
FISHBOWL Look at the stars Look at the stars and then you Keep moving closer Closer Just to improve The view from where From there you’re sitting so far Away it takes It takes away the fishbowl Rise off the presh- Rise off the pressure so fast Attach the stars The stars the ones that rise last With out a hes- With out a hesitation The flashing lights Are sounding out Affliction I twist my face I screw it up and then you Turn off the lights The  lights That show the dancing Your eyes are blue They’re blue and black caressing Each other in the alley And undressing Look at the stars Look at the stars and then you Keep moving closer Closer Just to improve The view from where From there you’re sitting so far Away it takes It takes away the fishbowl

Burn 04:34
BURN Life is crazy and I Turn it Twice as crazy when I Burn it away When you're with me I can Feel it Precious breath Can I Heal it You can climb, one more time, you can climb Give me time, one more time, precious time I can hear, I can fear, time is near Twisted breath, hollow breath, precious breath Twist your head and then you cry Think you're dead and then you die Life is easy if it's Twisted Twice as easy if it's Misted away When you're with me I can Feel it Precious breath can I Heal it Twist your head and then you cry Think you're dead and then you die Twist your head and then you cry Burn your bed and then you lie Filled with lead and then you fly Think you're dead and then you die

Floating 07:04
FLOATING You’re my lover I see that in your eyes I love you I am lonely There’s far too many eyes And only You’re my lover But I’ve fallen in love With something I am floating Softly down Or am I You’re my lover But I can’t stand this sense Of others Does it matter Let the rest of them all think We know better We are lovers I see that with my eyes I love you Still You’re watching I feel uncertainty approaching Is there something That I should be doing What does it matter When I touch you Everything makes more sense. When I touch you They won’t let us Be the ones we want to be Remember You’re the one that looks at me When I’m floating Then the angels will begin To take me
