I Was Wrong, Pt. 1 01:29
lyrics
I was wrong I was wrong about you I was wrong I was wrong about you I lived long enough to know That I was wrong I was wrong about you I was strong I was strong without you I was strong I was strong without you I lived long enough to grow I was strong I was strong without you

Straight From The Horse's Ass 01:59
lyrics
Once upon a time I gave two shits But they never gave em back Once upon a time I called it quits And they never called me back Johnny don’t go I know that door With the home room falling apart You stand to lose once more Johnny don’t take the pass It’s straight from the horse’s ass into the world Johnny don’t take the grass to mean the girl Every time I think I’ve reached end’s wit Is when it reaches back Every time it seems the feeling hits And I cannot hit back

Who Is Calling You? 01:55
lyrics
Listen Who is calling you? Someone in the field of blue Sun it shines down on you Listen Who is calling you? Figure in the light design Must have left you behind In the valley they are calling out to me Listen Who is calling you? Tennant of the lovely climb Can you hear it this time Listen Who is calling you? Figuring it out takes time Lucky me I found mine Listen Who is calling who? Not a foolish thing to do Rain it falls down on you In the life they call it carving up the tree Don’t you realize that all the calls are free

Thisp Clown Spring 01:50
lyrics
Downtown I thisp clown spring Make my moves in the promise ring Inkling of the stone once cast I faint believe it shone at last How was it thrown Skipped across the murky spring Thisp clown a pebble struck uptown Going once going down Time of death the minute of Mossy heart the hill above me Clearing there i’m lying so Rocky dinner of the sorest foe How was it ate Tongue to tummy’s murmuring Thisp clown a pebble struck uptown Going once going down

Jules 2,3 Evicted 02:21
lyrics
Julia 310 Pounce 5673 Poss we broken tea phone mix Summer in the middle Call tape the Mexico riddle A simple C, Jules 2,3 evicted Column A, column B A simple C, Jules 2,3 evicted So early 310 Pounce 5673 Cast be glee the mod too huts Simmer in the griddle Past peace to the pope was a piddle A simple E, Jules 2,3 evicted Column C, column D A simple E, Jules 2,3 evicted Gone but longed for is the kid Son of vapor on a bridge Truly doubtful the rightful flares As Julie bounds the seven heirs Roger she 5673

Sugar 01:31
lyrics
Sugar Sugar is sweet Not like street meat Meet me in the street For another’s inquiring mind reap Sugar Sugar is sold On a black road Beat me in the heat Smack drip on the drying line honey Brother I’d want to see you smile Get me off Get me off of the street Look Into the sugar salts Of my vaults oh in your eyes Draft and drift sleeve in the sloe I’m grafting the vapor lip Who sent me here waiting for the rain Standing here waiting for the rain Drops on fire top graft lip no shot
8.
Screaming Out Your Eyes 03:03
lyrics
I went screaming out your eyes And though your eyes they say Screaming out your eyes Your eyes they say If you want my eyes to scream You can have them If you walk my final dream Is the path then Clearer as a morning ray Mirror won’t you take my hand Kill me in your promised land As I walk myself to school In the morning
9.
To Your Defenses 03:36
lyrics
To your defenses you’ve finally come Too many fences lost in the scrum Making a scene for the morning Safely you gleam without warning light Ever blacking out down wing The same goes for me as well Ever blacking out Ever blacking out The same Ever blacking out again Ever blacking out Ever blacking out again To your defenses you’ve finally come Oh silly love papers lost to the sun After a night come the morning Shielded on sight grip the warming light So go and test the waters Go and freeze your daughters Go as one with love Lo, grass so hushed and verdant Grows with quite a burden As below above
10.
Blessed Be The Arch 01:01
lyrics
Blessed be the arch Sad eyed lie Fixed upon the trip-n-try To focus wide Not untrue Full of lies Fixed upon the brutalized Blank facade The arch
11.
Fighting It As A Petard 02:19
lyrics
Fighting it as a petard Fighting it ever so hard Finding my way through the yard I could tell you a story I could offer you glorious combat Pulling up one granite snow After all I was occupied A calling card Fighting it as a petard Fighting is never so hard Finding my way through the yard I could tell you a story I could offer you glorious combat What feeling is done to the sink Might alter what’s left on the rink I run where nobody dare tread And make love instead of instead Who augurs the reels as they’re bred I hate what would happen at your show At your showdown
12.
Miss Chainsaw 01:55
lyrics
Miss Chainsaw Standing on a broken article of clothing Do you understand the womb Miss Chainsaw Waving off the token apathetic slogan Are you measuring the Room's vibration Can you feel the Nation in decline Miss Chainsaw Lighting every open monument of loathing Can you comprehend the tomb Miss Chainsaw Kept abreast of smoking feeling it as choking As it's clogging up the Room's vibration Can you feel the Nation in decline I think it's fine that Time is as it is again

Bone To Stone 01:45
lyrics
Bone to stone Take me home To the place I belong Bone to stone Full grown man Find your home In the zone We all scan For the lone Bone to stone Take me home To the place I belong Bone to stone Unknown hand Grabs the phone On its own Understands The final tone Bone to stone
