Anniversary 04:57
I don’t know I’m crawling on the ground I’m crippled by the sound I don’t know I used to stand Used to hear my voice out loud I was poor but I was proud Oh but now Happy day to me The windows are like paintings And the screen is flickering Its my anniversary So I take I take myself apart Fuck around with all these gears and broken parts I want to give I want to give it all away It’ll be such a happy day to me A Happy day to me The windows open and I am free And the world is flickering On my Anniversary Don’t come looking for me I don’t think you’ll like what you see

Ivory Cell 03:56
Did you see me looking down From the ivory cell in the sky? Well I saw all of you I saw all of you I was sitting still I was sitting so still Watching the people walking by And I shout down But nobody hears I wave my arms But nobody sees me In the ivory cell in the sky They left me all alone Everybody goes And even the sun is going away And all the way up this high No city stars shine Too close to the ivory cell in the sky It's so high.... Well I shout down, down, down Nobody hears….. I wave my arms Nobody sees me In the ivory cell in the sky

Not the Moon 04:39
Everything is grey Everything is grey Who is that I see now walking away? Did you see me flying through? I am the dust inside your eye I am the reason that you woke up In the middle of the night Did you see me in my glory? Did you notice that I came back? I was that shapeless cloud of color Floating through the black But I’m not the moon I ain’t no creature in the sky I ain’t no ghost I was just simply passing by Did you see me flying through? I am the dust inside your eye I am the reason that you woke up In the middle of the night But I’m not the moon I ain’t no creature in the sky I ain’t no ghost I was just simply passing by

Well I swear to the lord I’ve heard all these chords before And your deceitful melodies At first put us at ease Only to attack us in our sleep And all your similes and metaphors They rip my heart down to the floor Like a surgeon past his prime Like a marksman going blind And we don’t need your services anymore No we don’t need your services anymore Well I swear to the lord I’ve heard all these chords before I could almost be sure I’ve heard all these words before I sat in a little crevice in your brain I find it hard now to explain I’m lost I’m going crazy I hope you also go insane Won’t you show me, won’t you show me Won’t you show me to the door I guess you won’t need me services anymore Well I swear to the lord I’ve heard all these chords before I could almost be sure I’ve heard all these words before

Leaves 03:27
I was born on this farm My father was a blind man A former moonshining man And my sisters, they live in the stars They come around once a year in the dark Did you see me in the trees? I was counting all the leaves I was dreaming of foreign lands With my toes tucked in the sand So bittersweet I was born on this farm My mother, bless her heart We buried her all alone in the side yard My brother he lives behind bars He looks for God inside of the concrete walls And I was just in the trees I was counting up all the leaves I was dreaming of foreign lands With my toes tucked in the sand So bittersweet

Skyscrapers 04:43
Lifting both feet off the ground, I am with you now I dreamt I was looking down, ancient whispers all around The wind it carries me without a sound You can leave the world of dreams if you just fall down To the ground Where are you now? Tasting rust now when I breathe Unpacking some old memories If you come looking for me Would you tell me what you see? These skyscrapers are haunted with living souls They're wandering around on their broken bones If all of these towers– if they all disappear We're all left floating, just floating up here For a little while And then we fall down Where are you now? Tasting rust now when I breathe Unpacking some old memories If you come looking for me Would you tell me what you see?

Glass Walls 04:30
Hit me again, 'cause the pain's shining through Only praying to God 'cause I got nothing else to do And all my life I've looked out From the walls of this glass house I can see you now, I can see you now No longer crawling on the ground I'm gonna break 'em, gonna break 'em Gonna break the glass walls down Talking to the trees I was counting all the leaves I was listening to the screams Of the children out in the dark And all my life I've been looking for you And all my life I've been waiting to break through I can hear it now, I can hear it now There's a melody inside my head Can you tell me, can you tell me Can you tell me how it ends? All my life I've been waiting for you

Could it be, could it be Coincidence or conspiracy? My mind, my mind Is leaving me Skin cracks at the joints like plaster White sleeves grip the arms so tight I dreamt I floated peacefully down Stopped still by a paisley necktie Flip the circuit breaker cut the elevator wire I dreamt I floated peacefully down Stopped still by a paisley necktie So flip the circuit breaker cut the elevator wire What did I become Sitting there so still? A man, machine, or something in between? Could it be, could it be Coincidence or conspiracy? My mind, my mind Is leaving me
