ballroom 04:28
well it starts in a ballroom all the jokers slide across a bar we step outside for a smoke what a drag, and the fog blends with the sky if its real, if it's always a turning, pulsing hallway through your chest a look inside, what a lie just a boy, and two decades will just misrepresent i'm over all i know i'm over all i don't know i'm over all i know and all i've left behind count it up in a classroom as numbers shift and shout across a page i'm too gone to stay in my mind collapse and the ringing drums and strings take me away i'm over all i know i'm over all i don't know i'm over all i know and all i've left behind well i had a dream that you died you walked through a door into white light and i didn't want you to go yet but now i would know what it would feel like there's nothing more real life than the dream eye i saw through last night here we are in a bedroom you tuck your bottom lip under your teeth and start to bleed and the warmth rushes from your face and into me

three years 04:21
what i've seen written on the bedroom walls i've tasted, tasted it and seen it all three years is so much time but what's yours has always become mine my hands still never seem to hold just stand still daring the night to get cold the rain came when the clock hit twelve and sang and orchestrated swell in a house alone in a bed too big it'll make a guy feel small and the water droplet shadows keep sliding down the wall have we got it, blistered hands now that we've caught it, could we make the stand could we shake it, yeah, and bring it to life just to take it and wonder why in a house alone in a bed too big it'll make a guy feel small and the water droplet shadows keep sliding down the wall what paul saw on the subway walls such sweet talk, soft chalk scratched out small this water, sons and fathers fall, unaltered words upon a wall in a house alone in a bed too big it'll make a guy feel small and the water droplet shadows keep sliding down the wall

before we go 05:31
i'm trying to find something of mine a change in my town, a different sound before i go, before i go deaf i'm gonna play loud hot inhale, my brothers' sweat fills my lungs, songs to be sung take my heart from my hand let it burst, let it bleed before i go, before i go blind i hope i see everything

light 04:01
hold fast to your eyes, my brother, dear brother for eyes are such wandering fools one hand on my name, cover fear cover shame the other makes jokes of its rules and sister, my god, keep your blouse to your chest 'cause darling, we're wolves in the night truth is a white tooth all dripping bright red so don't wait to up and take flight this is the sky and far above your broken limbs and rainclouds there's light, and it does shine this is life and it is yours, and you will find there's more than meets the eye and that's alright that's just fine they come with the tide, yes, they live and they die they're sand in your palms so hold tight but i've had this axe on the wall in the shed and i've used it to cut all my ties find me a train on its way down south and hold my head by the fire love is a stain and i'm washing it out but good god, my arms get so tired we are hands and feet we kick and scream we're pillars made of salt we're hopeless starts and broken parts but the sun still shines on us all this is the sky and far above your broken limbs and rainclouds there's light, and it does shine this is life and it is yours, and you will find there's more than meets the eye and that's alright that's just fine

body 02:48
i am not one body in agreement with itself my arms, my legs, my head and heart they all need something else and i'm just tired my ears just ring "well hit those drums a little bit harder, boy" let's spit and moan, and make some noise let's drink it in and sweat it out my body's built to make this sound come on hold me for a second 'cause tomorrow i swear i'm gone like the smoke that fills our lungs deep in my chest or in a song it just won't fade scars and remains but i will sweep them up and toss them out let fires roar and thunder shout my crippled hands and bloody mouth are strong enough to make this sound you and me are not wandering this world alone we're out at sea, but this ship is heading home and i just want to believe that there is good in you and good in me and our crooked hunchback youth is growing straighter as we speak come on i chased a lion through the snow and froze down in a pit but i'm no strain of benaiah and she's no perfect fit and that's alright it's no big thing well, i sat beauty down upon my knee for fifteen crazy crooked weeks this bitter tasted behind my teeth is worth the time, it's what i need come on you and me are not wandering this world alone we're out at sea, but this ship is heading home and i just want to believe that there is good in you and good in me and our crooked hunchback youth is growing straighter as we speak (i'll always be gold for you, so i'll always be gold to you)

rooftops 05:17
from the top of that house where the silence broke with the burning of the leaves there, i thought i felt closer to god than i may ever be from the center of the lake where the rain fell hard and a song rose up from inside of me there, i thought i felt closer to god than i may ever be when my eyes are closed i'm the keeper of every single thing i see i just hope i can see it all by the time the world is done with me from the choir row with my church robe on, and the ocean swelled all across my cheek and i thought that i felt closer to god than i may ever be in the heat of her arms she melted into a thousand colored streams there, i thought that i felt closer to god than i may ever be when the streams of paint hit the tile the color swallowed all of me i got cold as the scream rung out, "if you love it a lot, you gotta set it free"
