Strangers 03:44
strangers when we met woven into firmament haunted there and back again strangers in the end every time we cried, passage forth duly denied haunted well into the night robed in incandescent light i know that's what you want— hand for a gun, throat for a song but i can't abide i really tried, but the heart wants what the soul cannot if you think of me out beyond the raging sea cast it gently from your mind let the mystery suffice
2.
i only want to love you from the dust in fields anew, i only want to love you time will dry up like water time will run dry like a river you tower over like a rainstorm we lie adjacent to a canyon we lie, inviting all but i only want to love know that i would rather die for the sake of our final fortune and not what might stop me before it kills me. though i might already be gone, stop me before i love know that i would rather die for the sake of our final fortune and not what might
3.
let it go— love anew. days of plum and gold are fading into blue. all of it is dead and gone; i am out here alone. i keep acting like it was a big [redacted] surprise, but i already knew! i'll travel out thru a keyhole and into the deep far to the outer reaches of Callista to the CMB you know i love you so, darling! but i can't even begin to tell you how many times i've fallen into a cycle of poison and grief ...only to dream!
4.
bully, bully, bully you live to think that i'll hurt you lover, lover, lover i really don't want to let you go father, father, father whatever happened to piecemeal?

The Glacier 03:14
Archimedes sat on the glacier sifting thru the ash of the cosmik tides for any trace of surrender: a family, a sender when he was alone, he was dangerous when he was alone, he was in his prime his family rang for a doctor what met her shocked her left me all alone at the glacier never thought that she'd put the moves on me i'll cut a hole in the ice sheet and jumpstart the jitney don't you ever mention the glacier the chore was never the journey it's more like forgetting stop. here it comes, all at once: i am leveled by you. i'm gonna know how it feels to become someone new
6.
She Will 01:57
over the hill is a sanctuary that's where my true lover claims to be i wanna hold her in my arms she will elude me, but mean no harm a world apart: rumpled, strange beginnings make way to blooming of broken things i wanna run and hide the clock at zero, the time is nigh
7.
all jacked up for the leaving face is dirty and bleeding she don't give you a reason to go you can't hide what you're feeling little heart keeps a-beating your whole life is receding from view! so when you sleep, you feel awake but when you wake, you start to break you take a loan out on your soul just to feel like you're in control she's swimming 'round inside your head with all the things that you could've said, like: ' yo! everything we had is something for which others hope, dream and pray ...but you're giving it all away! ' -- you're giving it all away— shout out to charity you're giving it all away, just 'cus you mad at me it wasn't for the difference in salary if it was, then i would've left more casually it's not about the time that's invested it's about our minds and how we stressin' when love intertwines, it's a blessing but we can't afford all the violence domestic now check it: we had something for which people kill for, steal for, cheat for and lie for and so i've gotta ask this question: if you could live forever, then what would you die for? would you die for love? it seems that you would - well, apparently i'm trying to keep up my faculties i'm riding thru the 'bush with my woes Mr. Cubillos, he on the track and i lace the flow that's how it goes and i don't know i'm just trying to maintain my composure and if i don't get any closure then i might just have to close the book on it and i don't even put a hook on it
8.
carrying on 'til the day is done if i carry on, i'm gonna hurt someone all through the night, just 0's and 1's if i carry on, i'm gonna hurt someone every day i couldn't even wave goodbye, my love if i carry on, i'm gonna hurt someone every day
9.
don't you feel worthless? the spool unwound and hit the ground— worthless. don't you feel ready to break the seal? don't you feel hopeless? not like before, but even more hopeless don't you feel ready to bend and kneel? the end of the line for a lemon is the juice and the juice the juice only brings out what's inside
10.
Evil 05:46
i can't deny amorphous time the ability to provide an unavoidable rise you take what you can, the rest is implied beside myself in light i can't be pacified how feels the light? more or less right? and hearts a-beating eye the death of better times what was the crime i committed this time? in tort, another mile i break just like a child i won the prize, so saith i it's good to be alive! -- and as i stood there, atop the crescent bluff powdered, bleary — but with the fullest heart a thousand ships and a thousand more traced the periphery of my view and what i saw was ocean: golden, glassy, and never-before-so-opalescent ocean "well, maybe now they'll believe me!" -- come along with me come along with me come along with me the mystery of life indeed is that it is free and what's inside will more than provide what it is you need this world can't stop us now! all the evil in this world can't stop us now.
