Not a fly 03:19
NOT A FLY Soon as you accustom to the sound Wind pulls a tether of a spider web around Perfect positioning to catch you face in that web But hey I'm not a fly Well hey neither was i Some new tooth to think about Death only exists for the living Perfect position to get your head in that web But hey I'm not a fly Well hey neither was i Adam bomb throw another one out on the lawn

OH, CONGRATULATIONS Focus on the sun try to find your way out of here When i lie to you just know you're the only one When i lay with you just know you're the only one Well nothing new under neath the sun He told the moon she's the only one yes she's the only one The birds are in the breeze laughing with a whisper to the trees How was the wedding , well it was quite nice They had all the right food and we danced all through the night The mixing of their blood tying off their tie to the sea Well nothing new underneath the sun He told the moon she's the only one yes she's the only one A container not the owner I'm not the one but you have forgotten When you pile al together oh what i pile you could see it for miles Oh congratulations oh congratulations A container not the owner I'm not the one but you have forgotten when you pile all together oh what a pile you could see it fore miles Oh congratulations oh congratulations. Pull the needle through with thread and sow and sow and see what you get.

Aimless love 02:42
AIMLESS LOVE Looking at the road ahead standing like a razor edge Hiding inside the wind if i knew where it would bend Along the weight would be lifted Its just another habit now feeding in to crippling doubt All is full of aimless love the ones that put truth away So go and be happy baby I hear you wanna run around again You leave me on the road ill motorcade The city painting lines to lead me away agin That’s alright don't you worry baby. Its just another shoulder shrug Full of that aimless love hiding in the crystal ball Is where ill be tonight for sure so don't wait.

Little star 03:56
LITTLE STAR Caught you in a lengthwise way talking about getting big And i haven't seen much for anyone that’s alright its all water anyway I know you're a star they don't know who you are I know you're a dreamer hey i dream there too Its all complicated but thats what people do Caught you in reflecting glass I'm talking about you're weather man Looking in your cold sad eyes i hope you feel better man I know you're a star and they don't know who you are I know you're a dreamer but hey i dream there too Its all complicated but thats what people do No one else can see the way no one else can see the way

Night light 05:13
NIGHT LIGHT Let me know when you are when you are near You have a smart phone don't you so look me up and come on over I know that its true love then the strain comes is it really true love Horses of to race now i saw them eyes turn from red to green Elegance of sky writing advertising marriage to the dream Got a night light on in the long hallway You can see your self out at 3 in the morning I know all the reason to give up on the dream You keep moving on
6.
THE THINGS YOU NEED Well i dip my toes in to the water Let the leach suck bad blood all that bad blood away from me Teton tower a valley that stretches on for miles Brave but afraid of where my arrows gonna land My eyes have a feast when I'm in the east Brave but afraid every time i eat The things you need are gonna change Money go out and get that shit Fame only if you're fortunate Power can you feel it in the air Is it the things you need the things you need With your head upon the shelf Well you look well you look like someone else Who concurred opiates road in limousines Taught you little sister dancing for the kind Poke fun at the fighter on fire for his dream I’m a child with a lighter who ruined everything Say my little shame looking back at me Shame my little shame the ocean to the sea To be young and feel the notion theres nothing i cant do Feed scroll forever light speed constant emotional Theres nothing i can do born to feel what ever’s happening Theres nothing i can do all theses thoughts chasing in Go on let reality be reality it’s only the fear setting us apart black night To leave a sea you thought was forever to find a sea and see it to the end Oh go on let reality be reality it’s only who you setting us apart black night in the back of my mind Go on let reality be reality To leave the sea you thought was forever To find a sea and sea it to the end To the end black night wasting.
7.
ALMOST CANADIAN Someones flying planes in your deep brown eyes I see the tricks reflecting in the powder blue sky You're twisting like a lizard telling all your lies Ill twist you like a pretzel when i lay between your thighs On a sunny afternoon when the breeze feels fine And its cooler than it should be in the summer time Oh to know you well together forever until we part My grand mother called wished me happy mothers day Cause we all been mothers somewhere along the way I think she's getting old and losing her mind Always talking in her circles in the wrong day and time Your bourn as a baby and you die the same We’re all just trying to stay out of the astral plain Oh to know you well oh well together forever until we part
8.
RED EYE’D CHILDREN Happiness it comes and goes like the sunlight loves to touch the skin A field full of flowers dance and bow their crowns to the land Dirty laughter for swing sets singing their high whale song to the wind Red eyed children hight as kites fly away from them selfs again Oh everything is beautiful in the moment when heart expands Its easy when i look at you from far away so young again your eyes are slipping on Freedom rings from break pads sing their highway song to the wind Minds they melt out of our ears can you hear eternity expand
9.
COME FOR COMFORT Shrug your little shoulder to the window I cant see a bending knee my manic little mind i know a way To get you out of nowhere man I'm running on Fake shoes on white sandy beaches in the rain man i know Come for the good time stay for the comfort Post card attraction glossy and distracting Mirror my man I'm awake Don’t cover the heater don't leave the stove on when you go away stay for the comfort post card paradise Man i gotta tell you it doesn't matter much anyway It doesn't matter much anyway Fill your lungs with nothing like the space between here and there Fill your mind with nothing like the space between here and there

My time 03:38
MY TIME I don’t wanna breath it in I should swim and stay away. Spend a lot of time with sin means nothing to the wild Spend a lot of careless time it’s my time my time
