Fall 05:39
Gravel under tires, my heart catches in my throat rushing to the window, putting on my red rain coat and they might say we're crazy, it's raining cats and dogs outside but the tree house we built last summer, is our only place to hide You, you are, my first love Slipping on the wet leaves, trying desperate not to fall our breathing comes in raged gasps, your fingers clutching at my hand but then you loose your balance, and our bodies collide we tumble laughing to the ground, till your mouth closes over mine You, you are, my first love
2.
I've lived here all my life and I've never seen anyone like you You blow in like a breeze but your story seems a little bit fabricated You could have left last week with the summer's end like all of the other collage boys I'm longing to hear you stayed to take me away, don't shake your head So call it cause and affect but I don't believe that you want for nothing Cause here you are yet again sitting on my porch, you gotta be here for something Don't lie to me, I know there's no beauty in this dingy one horse town So tell me again that it's not for me, you're still hanging around Cause I been weight down In this fly trap town Where it's all grey and clouds and I just want out So let me finish please, it takes a lot for me to admit that I love you I've nothing but my pride I'd make a terrible bride, but if you'd have me I'll never believe in nothing else the way that I'll believe in you I promise I'll make you happy, don't shake your head
3.
Make me over, molded in your mind, A vessel to be filled with things you don't need All the quirks of your personality you can grind them into me Then wash your hands, don't forget to wash your hands Melted down separate the precious from alloy you leave me wallowing in what's left Naked needing someone to hold on to But you're looking for gold that was mine Then wash your hands, don't forget to wash your hands At the end of this alchemy equations Everything ventured and nothing gained If you're still looking for a return to your investment Well I hope you use it to decorate your grave Cause I've washed my hands
4.
There's no relief in this, though I hear the end was brief And Mercy found her way, into your bed Now the sheets lay bare, but I still imagine them warm Adjusting takes it's time See I was raised to believe, that all heroes' could fly And the best of them were indestructible So imagine my surprise to wake up to a world Who's premise was a lie And now, I've come to accept that I'm just gonna do this on my own So I'll hold up my head, and I'll swallow my tears, but I buried my innocence, in the ground with you I've only myself to blame, for believing in man And fallible flesh But it feels so good, to pretend you're not alone Adjusting takes it's time And now, I've come to accept that I'm just gonna do this on my own So I'll hold up my head, and swallow my tears, but I buried my innocence, in the ground with you. And it doesn't feel better to say, "he's in a better place" when all the words that I never said are still bitter on my tongue And no it doesn't, no it doesn't make me wanna pray When all the words that I'll never say are still rotting in my mouth So now, I've come to accept that I'm just gonna do this on my own So I'll hold up my head, and I'll swallow my tears but I buried my innocence in the ground with you.

They laid her down deep in the bowels of a ship that's been tossing turning now, 10 weeks out Through fever dreams, thick like a moonless fog she can hear them whispering "Her babe won't come, this labor can't last all night and death hanging 'oer us chokes our hearts, fear's like a vice. There's no more food, water that's black and sour, oh god don't let us die at sea" "Forgive us this sin, great as the sin, that broke the world. Push open the porthole, send her out send her down down down. All the way down. Don't think now, just won't you send her down" Oh weightless, sweet, cradled in oceans arms faster she sinks a living stone, soon to sleep the bottom waits, ready to erase, all but her last sigh Peace

Rocketship 05:22
If this is a dream don't wake me up. How did we find ourselves on a rocket ship to another world And looking around I can tell we know how lucky we are to be a part of this history of mankind And the countdown starts at 10 9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 Cause you go and get it if you, you want it, bad enough The pressure sends us through the atmosphere and it's time to start anew how can we contain, we can barely contain the news That now we're pushing past the blinking lights of the milkyway pushing past the edge of the only universe we've ever known And what we'll find when we land is anyone's guess But you go and get it if you, you want it, bad enough We're going up now, we're going up and we're ready for it
