The grocery list Hangs below my ears Apples and oranges weigh me down Like trapped pigeons wanting to fly I hear them screaming Clawing to get out of my mind If it's not safe in here It’s where I disappear I try to shake the present emptiness of being anywhere but here It’s where I get churned out and remodeled as a worser part of me It’s where I disappear Chewing lips and pulling hair I make lists in my head Get me through the day just so you won’t see That’s where you’ll find me safely tucked away behind The twisted folds of space Before I leave this place I try to shake the present emptiness of being anywhere but here It's where... I’m not gonna stop the words falling out of my mouth It’s a verse I have yet to rehearse

G + A 03:37
I'm sitting here waiting for the wine and the why’s of what’s to come and all I need’s a fighting chance and a righting flame to end this game and a stake in which to put my name and a way to end this field of shame Waiting at the stage battlefield set for the sorry and all I need’s no limit to worry for night to be day and for day to be dark and it’s clear that someday somehow this’ll be gone and all we need is a gun and an apocalypse Somewhere somewhere we are waiting For the sun to burn For it to be our turn Somehow somehow all that we need Is a gun and an apocalypse Been ready to fight all this life To bear it all with the fist and fear And the know-how to steer And a hope that heaven is holding on near And no needs to be enlisted tonight Cos its worth the fight Somewhere...

The Fever 03:42
There’s nothing like the fever That stalking softly creeping Climbing with fervor to feed the need There’s nothing like distraction That deepens the darkness of the greed and leads to the choking and expertly extinguishing of a life-dream Left, lost and wilted to the floor Ho hum so it goes Me go my way You go why When all ways lead Would you leave Ho hum so it goes You’re just another disbeliever Caught up in the fever More and more and so it goes... There’s nothing like the expert Expecting perfection but secretly gnaws inside Cheeks, scrapes at heart Empty and craving for the fill That saps strength leaving tastebuds Hollow-hope unfilled Tongue untrusting and deflated and aching for more Ho hum... How is the tried untrusted the whispers left to the leaves And how sacred is the flight The Feeling of full morning mist Fear spread like butter Over mountain tree-tops Like whispers on the leaves

Rabbit 03:33
Running around Smile on your face Hopping about All over the place When not what it seems hooks into our dreams We can sleep with the light on We can sleep with the light on Doo doo Don’t bite the hand that feeds you little bunny Everyone’s holding their breath Everybody’s wanting more than they can chew Without getting a little burn in your chest but it’s all good cos When that which we meant is left unsaid well We can sleep with the light on We can sleep with the light on Doo doo...

Leaflike 03:52
Into my life Leaflike you fell Tease like a summer breeze that lingers Long after the leaves have left the trees to find the ground As it falls from my feet Toes spread while standing on the ceiling Looking up, up, up All good things must end and the cloud that drew your face to mine and before we knew it was time and now we know now we know we exist Destined to dissolve Mind-seed of a doubt Shadowing cloud-like above Following the light that is let in by the love and breathed out my window candle light brings in the night to go our separate ways And the cloud... Now we know we exist we can see everything else
