1.	Present And A Gift 02:20
2.	The Raid Of A Hard Head 02:12	lyrics
I believe I′ve earned my right to be here Existing I do believe I've proven it that I need to be here The greatest story, the greatest girl (Sin trapped in skin trapped in sin) The most uncomfortable skin to be trapped in Drumming that pairs with my mind Drumming that dulls my goad The raid of a hard head I can′t get it back Its core is unapproved
3.	Starve The Doll 01:43	lyrics
Seeding in apartment I met you on the hill And my life was splendid Cumming with myself Now we can be worried any place I go If we want to walk around Until the weight comes off Masterful, you help me start the call By the time you're done There’s nothing left at all Leonard-Forma help me with my songs When you touch the speaker so badly with it all You, you made me so complete When I had built your nest at the top of every tree I told you I had always known the evening When everyone would sleep I would strip my clothes to freeze Thanks to all your lessons I cannot leave my house My voice is far too perfect To keep it to myself This is why you taught me And exposed where I am weak You knew I would destroy myself With every note I sing (Find his hollowest part) (Find his hardest heart)
4.	Unique Gold Of My World 02:30	lyrics
Okay It’s biting, oh, oh, ah Unique gold of my world Curse of God Unique gold of my world Curse of God Let me talk about the tax I bit my lip over on the staircase When my tongue rolls out the knot It drips and starves until it’s through Make the cut Let it grow, let it grow And form the medicine Form the medicine Some people cut themselves to get medicine Some people... Nearer now to you Nearer now to you Nearer now to you Nearer now to you My mess is all else My mess is all else My mess is all else My mess is all else In evening lightlessness In evening lightlessness I have been compressed Much of the time And silver...
5.	Sufferably 01:31	lyrics
This day the ear is off its listening The state of Heaven on her wing You look just like someone I've seen But sufferably, but sufferably How could you come disconcertingly to me You've only seen me disconcerted And how could I not be When I thought we only could have met in sleep
6.	Lethean Liqueur 01:10
7.	Wonder-Weapon Position Goddess 02:16	lyrics
(Hell!) Don’t let the goddess do the trampling Don’t (Hell! Heh-hah!)
8.	Garlic At My Left 01:10
9.	I'm Your Suitor 01:44	lyrics
I hate to think of all the women The grazing might not stop Just when they learn who’s waiting I hate to think about their suitors When there’s no stopping It never stops Is it restricting that I’m your suitor Does it restrict you that I’m your suitor Is it restricting that I’m so good for you Does it restrict you at all
10.	No More Mistaking 02:07	lyrics
(I just spent one minute Pulling centipede legs Off of my drum machine) No more mistaking No more mistaking One good day as a change No more mistaking No more mistaking One good day as a change No more mistaking No more mistaking One good day as a change Know for each of the mistakes My skin becomes more colorless Oh, for every mortal man There needs to be a back-up plan I have learned my lesson (Blame the stars or God)
11.	Circle-Squaring 01:56	lyrics
Unless my greatest aperture Has the same dimensions as her song I do not have the endurance Yes I do, yes I do, yes I do, yes I do, yes I do Body falls apart Look to the other side Mm, delay Mm, delay Mm, delay No!
12.	Debted 01:07	lyrics
Mhm, debted, debted, debted Mhm, debted, debted, debted Mhm, debted, debted, debted Mhm, debted, debted, debted Mhm, debted, debted, debted Mhm, debted, debted, debted Mhm, debted, debted, debted Mhm, debted, debted, debted Mhm, debted, debted, debted Mhm, debted, debted, debted
13.	Headstone Handstand 02:10	lyrics
Here time beckons me more My body’s popping with the heating Could I less and less know feeling My bare body’s popping supersedes me Could you watch my spirit beg you (Humbly) Would you let my spirit beg you (Endlessly) I’m so bare Look how my tomb is better than my head No matter how high I stack my bed It doesn’t seal me in like I would want
14.	Fihatnlllaolseev 02:40	lyrics
(Tempered mask, hold her hair) (No, no, no, no) (No, no, no, no) (No, no, no, no) (Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah)
15.	Hover Over 01:45	lyrics
Body is the science Swoon over body I’ve got to tell it I’ve got to kneel For me, for you It is sad, it is done I put you in my robe I put you on the stove The stove is not turned on You’re shorter than I am And I need to kiss You’re closer to 6’3” when you’re on the stove I can’t bend down without aggravating my throat The body of science Hovers over her body I have to crown it I have to kneel I know that you have always wanted her heart I know that you have always wanted her heart What’s holding you back now Besides your mind and your throat Nothing
