Too High 03:40
Can I change my body Can I change my mind Can I change Can I change Can I starch my collar Can I stay my hand Am I just like my father I’m a man Cut me open Let me out Cut me off Shouldn’t I get my own life rolling on From colder moments of doubt Didn’t I let my own heart close off From all the light When I went too high When I went too high Can I change my body Can I change my mind Can I change Songs in hand Take steady steps to make it feel right Clouded in the night Honorable man Rite of wood and foil of holding on Shouldn’t I get my own life rolling on From colder moments of doubt Didn’t I let my own heart close off From all the light When I went too high When I went too high

Homonormo 03:16
Then I woke up and the sun was shining On the house beside the lake And the dog was barking But the baby didn’t wake through it all Why would she Hello Send my Regards to New York I’m gone I think I want to settle down But weirder Come around our house We don’t lock the door Don’t lock the door Come around Let your love Cede [seed] to the dirt in the walls But weirder Hello Send my Kindest regards to New York I’m gone I think I want to settle down But weirder Up in the fog Out of my mind Over the roses Digital rite [right] Fire on the mountain Salt of earth I think I want to settle down But weirder I think I want to settle down But weirder

It lifts you up And then it holds you down It lifts you up And then it holds you down It lifts you up From one to a zero A wake for the hero Before the death occurs Lift me up Reverse Lift me up then Reverse Lift me up Reverse It lifts you up And then it holds you down It lifts you up And minces your words Emits from the mouth Only the softer verbs Lift me up Reverse Lift me up then Reverse Lift me up Reverse And how do I feel it How does a body sound Offered a line And divided in two Offered a line To divide you Are you living now?

Myelin 04:01
I started detecting A cognitive rift Executive functioning A tilt of the wrist When the myelin Grows in The frontal lobe I won’t believe me No license to drive I could ride my passing train I could hide And hold on to my Fine white lines I could hide Oh myelin And hold on to my Fine white lines Fine white lines

I pretend that doubt forgets me And it gets me out the door I detect the power in me I feel better Yeah I feel better Get the sense that I’m about to Make myself an enemy I can make the suffering stay I feel better Yeah I feel better Hey makes me ashamed Makes me behave Molds me to sameness Keeps me whole Feeds on the soul Gives me the feeling Of atonement When it goes Like tapered days May be the salt Might be the cold shoulder That told you What you already know Then you don’t know Which is the blade Which is profane Which is the love Which is my lane Which is my lane My lane My lane

Infield 02:54
Do you Hold on, hold on Like I do, like I do Like I do To doubt Doubt inside you Coat of art Lines Lines pointing home And in the outfield The grass Is overgrown It grows You don’t fool me Your salutation’s wrong You don’t fool me You’re lonely, you’re lonely You don’t fool me You don’t fool me You’re lonely

The Habit 02:11
How old am I now And when do I know Am I going Oh habit of knowing Am I going And who do I ask Oh, what can I have That the sun has I won’t make a habit of Calling on fate But oh when I grow up Please let me be brave And don’t make a habit of Counting on me Cuz oh when I get out I’m gonna be free

Ships 03:18
Hello Said the sun to the moon Where did you go I’ve been waiting for you Looking through windows Didn’t know what to do Don’t leave me When you go Don’t leave me And the moon she replied Look how the tide Does return to the sea I’ll come back to you If you come back to me Believe me When I go Believe me
