Nothing New 04:33
There is nothing new There is nothing you could do That someone hasn't thought through And you hold these things with muddy fingers Muttering, "Why has it gone away-- from me?" Living in this endless season Living just enough to be S'enough for me Living just enough for me Who can hold their breath, When there isn't that much left When there isn't half the depth and What is, is sold and taken and the rest is doomed to death "It's gone away from me" Living in this endless season Living just enough to be S'enough for me Living just enough for me Living just enough Right now Living just enough Live your life Live your dream (living just enough)

We've got a brick of love It will build a pyramid that will stand forever Will the mortar be enough? Do you think the sands of time will hold it together? You and the record store baby You shy Away, removed from direct light saving Your own lives And trees can't grow when the old one's are shading Your eyes And some of us won't survive daylight savings Confined by our chemical needs Peace lilly having indigo dreams by the window And into all other things The astral plane is just a way to explain the science of shinto You and the record store baby You shy, Away removed from direct light saving Your own lives And trees can't grow when the old one's are shading Your eyes And some of us won't survive daylight savings

Power Hunger 02:10
Power Hunger We need to eat to stay alive, the earth and salt are ground beneath the dancing feet in the Kings' halls Eager Beavers They're fighting for the fattest teat up on the hog, They're getting sick from all the milk their greedy jaws Living on crumbs you get leaner everyday, Meaner the miser the more that you will pay, Put you away, We all will pay. Power Hunger I waste away and try to rise above the thoughts, It's hard to block the sound of chomping on the crops, Creature Comforts If I get sick an example of me be made, All my mistakes they will take the key and throw away Living on crumbs you get leaner everyday, Meaner the miser the more that you will pay, If I get sick an example of me be made, All my mistakes they will take the key and throw away Put you away, We all will pay.

Got one great wish A wriggling fish Bottom feeding That's just my thing Very used to hand me down's It's such a niche It's catatonic, so it's not speaking, Must be a snitch I feel bad so I feel like I deserve something rich So I go out walking into this bitch city Found the boutique Got to look chic In the glass case Feline mystique Got to make some money for the House of Cats It might be strange but far from funny in the House of Cats The gold light makes the dim seem sunny When I look back At the House of Cats At the House of Cats At the House of Cats Even now, in my mind It's overkill, it's set to blind Even though I can't find, The master of this dead design Even now, in my mind It's hieroglyphics all the time Even though I can't find, The master of this dead design Even my heart is open In the House of Cats What's lost cannot be broken In the House of Cats What's not cannot be spoken In the House of Cats In the House of Cats In the House of Cats In the House of Cats

Dog Girl 03:04
Dog girl Staring at the cover of a magazine Ease the pain With a day dream A clean white fantasy Dog girl Stealing glances at someone across the room Glistening White teeth and shiny hair Doesn't mean to stare Up into the sky Ask the reason why She's a dog girl

Real Life 02:34
I close my eyes at night and I can see it burn All the black piles are the things we thought we'd learned The facts at last decay to trash and food for worms The dark red dirt ready to till and start over Is this the real life? battered and deep-fried greasy fingers reaching for a taste Is this the real life? they'll watch the blood dry sitting back to profit on the waste Glistening coils black like oil on white sand The serpent ate but never sate a tail that knows no end Is this the real life? battered and deep-fried greasy fingers reaching for a taste Is this the real life? they'll watch the blood dry sitting back to profit on the waste
7.
Stay With Me 02:10
Would you like to eat some food and watch TV? Maybe after we'll enact the birds and bees Oh please just stay with me Please won't you stay with me Then we'll drift off into a dull painless sleep You'll dream of marriage, I won't dream a single thing Oh please just stay with me Please won't you stay with me We'll fill each other's voids quite regularly But it's a trap and thats a fact but won't you please oh please just Stay with me Please won't you stay with me

Dynasty 04:21
I am troubled Deeply humbled By the aftermath of greed Now I can be Who I was born to be Dynasty is fighting Over all the tithings You were hiding in a safe Where is the grace An outcome of the waste In every holy book You never came up once I looked Nothing but a Broken promise ring I lost mine years ago Took more time to let it go Nothing I've stopped promising Truth in question Reject every lesson Dissect the harmony And you will see Your individuality Who is born with Pure divine essence And endlessly karma free Not any being Not you or me In every holy book You never came up once I looked Nothing but a Broken promise ring I lost mine years ago Took more time to let it go Nothing I've stopped promising All the way home So still All the way home Now they're covering up your body All the way home So still All the way home Now your running round in circles

Laundry 01:52
We never really want to do anything any of the things that we're supposed to do You're looking in my eyes and I can tell you are a thing I'm not supposed to do I had a whole load of laundry to do but I have a mistake that I need to see through We never really want to be any of the things that we don't want to be We're coming face to face and bending to an ugly curiosity I have a whole load of laundry to do I'm sure you'll see me and I'm sure I'll see you...

Am I gonna have to pass you by? Look into eyes and say goodbye? And you haven't even left this place We walk the block always opposite ways I ring your bell Theres someone else I ditch the door Compose myself The silhouette A grayish man You pull him in Holding his hand There will be a wedding Handfuls rice confetti Find me on your side Make eyes, say goodbye "And with this ring I do thee wed To never share another bed I choose a place- a time and space You rang my bell little too late I pruned your brach, this one to grow Yours was messy, I'm sure you know See you sometime around the block Retracing steps and pretty thoughts
11.
The mind is cut like a diamond Though the rhinestones are behind And when it channeled right through me I already knew of this design Don't hesitate to remember The embers of your time Nothing is forever Before and after life When you were born you made her old Extracting radiance You will return to the cold Human gradients Once, so young and so tender Surrendering all that might Be sometimes such an illusion An institution of the mind Don't hesitate to reenter The unmeasured way of time Nothing is forever Before and after life When you were born You made her old Extracting radiance You will return to the cold Human gradients
12.
Furry Thing 03:12
This is the one thing that matters This is the one thing I'm after Theres a musty smell that I can't lose though I'm sure there are other things I would like to do Running through the woods for some game Then I'll set it free but leave it maimed A gaunt pale tracker tracking endlessly the prints of a furry thing that he set free
13.
Walked into the woods And heard the tiny voice Thought to sell my soul In bargain for some bread A fool I followed tracks Right down the darkened path The center of the rot at last The gristle and the bone I heard them cleanly snap The sound it turned the hairs On end upon my back And as I turned the bend The wolf was in my path I waited for the end And opening his jaws at last, said "Slip inside me"
