Welcome, Traveler
06:24
|

these are your memories, my friends
and don’t they look nice numbered one through ten
these are your memories, my friend
take one and make one
all your own to pardon me
these are your memories, my friend
(ready or not)
together, mind traveler
we’re done for, we’re done for
we’ll run for our deepest shelf
and how you love to hide them there
next to lies you tell yourself
and then you’ll wind them up just to feel your breath
come find them confounded
come find them compounded
make memories, make perfect
take memories, let intersections ride
before your very eyes
but it take your own two feet fate to make soles rise
together, mind traveler, we’re done for
these are your memories, my friend
these are your memories, my friend
bleed your past, letting pools gather around your pain
fall in, get read
stain your eyes to spite the head
break in your walking shoes -- the same old ones you had with growing strains
are your ready for, are you ready for, are you ready for your get away
are your ready for, are you ready for, are you ready for your get away

Body Back
07:39
|
|||
there is much that calls before the coming of the dawn
thoughts of natural causes sanction my bathroom walls
how dare you force me to make amends
out there you can’t get your body, get your body back
get your body, get your body back
(are you falling)
must be something about failing features all we want to do is
body on back, body on back
I can hear your voice begin to falter, mother’s first born daughter
caught in a trap found where I fall
I can see silently back and forth carefully
mark my words with a dream, I believe, I believe
make me blind terribly, I believe, I believe
body on back, body on back
say your piece, heart of hearts
blasphemous enemy, make it so, vest in me clarity
I can’t see I can't see, lead me
caught in a trap found where I fall
bare your teeth and run while you slander out your mandibles of no curtain calls
only time will tell if years come through parables
are you ready to become the golden child?
hold me steady, you can’t get your body back.
are you falling
(get your body back)
call me by my name
there’s no grace in a call to terms
God this burns
cure alls cure nothin’
but guided hearts and fragile parts
in body hurts in His name
and guided hearts and fragile parts
in body hurts in His name

Tell Friends
07:01
|
|||
tell friends your over it
lie and tongue and teeth
fake motions till you fall in line, you fall in line
tell friends I’m old enough to forget a lover’s skin
that makes my body right, my body right
tell me to make believe, hypothetically
Jersey lines are state of mind, are state of mind
can’t see resemblances and damages come calling out and falling out
come falling out
don’t wait, don’t play nice
don’t wait, don’t play nice
lack confirmation calls in temptations to give up time
to give up time
will you scream sorry when adjudication falls on shoulders tall
on shoulders tall
don’t wait, don’t play nice, and fall in line, and fall in line
don’t wait, don’t play nice, a state of mind, a state of mind
don’t wait, don’t play nice, and fall in line, and fall in line
don’t wait, don’t play nice, a state of mind, a state of mind
don’t wait, don’t play nice
don’t wait, don’t play nice
tell friends your over it
lie and tongue and teeth
fake motions till you fall in line, you fall in line
tell friends I’m old enough to forget a lover’s skin
that made my body right, my body right

good day, good day, get up if you’re fight enough
get down, get down, get down shake up when the body talks
make me come to perfect person paradigm
too much, too much, get up if you’re fight enough
in out, in out, breathless body burning bright
tik tok, tik tok, talent takes back logic tight
make me come to, find fear wrapped in finger five
good day, good day, get up if you’re fight enough
my son, stand still
make your car’s engine start
visualize your getaway
take it from dear old dad when I say, “mend your mind.”
good day, good day, get up if you’re fight enough
get down, get down, get down shake up when the body talks
make me come to perfect person paradigm
too much, too much, get up if you’re fight enough
in out, in out, breathless body burning bright
tik tok, tik tok, talent takes back logic tight
make me come to, find fear wrapped in finger five
good day, good day, get up if you’re fight enough
my brother, stand strong
look at mine, she’s so blind
king of all in sunshine’s dress’
take it from your own blood when I say, “be like mine.”

Mr. Youngblood
05:23
|

hey, Mr. Youngblood
can’t make up your mind
am I so guided?
next of kin
I’m undone for miles
caught up and back again
cut up to justify blood
cut up just to find blood
cut up, find blood
say your prayers, Youngblood
hold your hands up, undone
say your prayers, Youngblood
hold your answers, undone
remind me how i’m terrified to fault you on the ask
speak for me now
please and thanks are broken glass of stages i’ve stood on
say your prayers, Youngblood
cut up, find blood

Trust Fall
06:02
|
|||
trust fall beckoned off
pecking softly for a song
the well ran dry for far too long
because I can’t help myself
trust fall, after all
pleasure pull people to their knees
sometimes I fuck up
and do what my body tells to me to
hung up and faded
do what you hated
make falling back a habit for passing by your prime
you’ll turn out just fine, you’ll turn out just fine
read up on faces
shake up your chases
take note and realize you’re dealing in your life
and if you try, you’ll turn out just fine
you’ll turn out just like you thought you would
trust fall, good call
arrange yourself in front of me
and before I place cold hands on your spine
count on me
trust fall beckoned off
pecking softly for a song
the well ran dry for far too long
because I can’t help myself

Consciousness Packages
05:20
|

you take your head off, head off, of your shoulders, shoulders
save for a chance of, chance of word play, word play
picture perfect is the best it gets in midwest towns, midwest towns
photographs fall out of monochromatic
lets automate, negotiate, appreciate the purposes
for all of our memories, flashbulbs and factories
consciousness packages of sisters and their brothers
when their one or two or three to fortify the greener parts of growing up
inside your head, we’re in it now, we’re in it now
remind me how I wish I never felt the disconnections as the generations passed us by
we’re in it now, remind me how, we’re in it now
blue plate special got away from here
away from here, away from here
thirty-eight special got ahold of me
and I wanna know, i wanna know
why can’t we throw it all away
throw it all away
throw it away
away

Compressed Waves
07:37
|

wash up fam
copycat
you’ll get off soon enough
let's all chat
slowly go insane
up late, vibrate
like compressed waves
start it all again
these dreams don’t get me higher
better off
to save a breath
blank eyes are rolling back
to show the whites of when
to prove you’re made of something
but that won’t get you higher
say goodbye
childlike
step back and wish the world was kinder
these dreams don’t get me higher
up late, vibrate
like compressed waves
compressed waves
it’s always, it’s always, it’s always,
it’s always so close to the wire
when forty hours calculate to conspire
midnight robs you senseless numbness fires
the ones you love will say goodbye
will I wake up and think it was all just a waste of time
and if these dreams don’t get me higher
my teenage self would be a lier
with all the knowledge that you’ve gained
compressed waves don’t hit you like they did in the ignorance of your wasted days

now that we’re all right here
it’s not much different to me
welcome to your vantages
do you like it here? do you like it here?
after all, after all, after all it was built up to be
I can’t get caught like this, like this
I can’t get caught like this, like this
get lost through an LCD
is it crystal clear? Is it crystal clear?
and definitions can’t be bought here
are those ghosts in your pockets
enough to make her belong right here
I can’t get caught like this, like this
I can’t get caught like this, like this
hand over my start
I broke my head over
the beating of your heart
don’t go far
to unknown heights and city lawns
oh, don’t look back
it’s just a place we’re meant to be
