Cosmic Pose
01:48
|
|
||
Do as what I propose
This was my cosmic gift
What is my cosmic purse
It is mine
Dress up my house with combs
Dress up my house with combs
Within my house, my purse
Miles long
Do as what I suppose
This is my cosmic purse
This was my cosmic pose
This is my cosmic room
Do as what I suppose
This is my cosmic purse
That is my cosmic pose
This is my cosmic room

Is This Your Card?
01:51
|
|
||
Every one I tell myself about
Doesn’t have the air I need to breathe around
If you have a breath I come and take
But the other lessons go and go about
We were made set so far apart
But we came in time, just in time
Then we met in the middle
And we had nothing to say
Would you want to go with me before
(Go before the problem)
Look what your name could be
You could walk with my name
Two whole years of dreaming just explained
I think I've got to ask the deck about you
But I never thought I'd get the Two of Cups
If I told you why I first thought it was you
Like my other friends, they called it a delusion
Then we met in the middle and we had nothing to say
Would you want to go with me before
(Go before the problem)
Look what your name could be
You should walk with my name
Every single dream has been explained

Persist, My Breath
02:35
|
|
||
Oh, tell me that you need to know
What I need from this day
Oh, I've got to talk about our love
'Cause nothing else comes as I wish
Anita, all the space between us now
Is nothing like it was before
And if you want to think about our love
It only helps my breath to persist
Come to me and persist my breath
My throat can heal if you say it can
My head can heal if you say it can
I take my limit very, very seriously
I take my limit very, very seriously
I take my limit very, very seriously
I take my limit very, very seriously
Anita, I have waited two long years
For everything we feel to be sensed
I just want to talk about our love
It's the only thing that I still have left
I'm not done

Sagittula
01:05
|
|
||
Everybody knows that my love is such attached
To the heel of my foot
When you ask me for my love
You can make me want to stop what I do
Had I known it when I was young
That I’d grow up just to fall from the roof
I take it you have known my weakness from the start
From the start
Now you do
(I would be surprised...)
When they dipped me in the water
I had no way to know

The Powers Of Ten
01:14
|
|
||
The power that comes when you give it a shot
The power that you get when you go outside
Power that you get
The power that you give to her
What body isn’t harmed
(No, my body isn’t)
The body that you get
(The body that you got)
The power that you get
The power that you give to her
The power that you don’t keep tabs on
Better keep the tabs on all your power, Tendon Levey
The power that you get
The power that you give to her
The power that you don’t keep tabs on
Better keep the tabs on all your power, Tendon Levey

Strategist
01:32
|
|
||
Turn this meal into a man
He is guised a demon
I am afraid never again
I will be your evil man
I will be your evil man
I will be your evil demon man
If my face looks like a goat
That’s because I’m in the dark
If I step into the light I’m really quite handsome
But I prefer to be a goat
I prefer to be a goat
I prefer to be a goat
Wherever I go
Don't you know you love them both
Don't you know you want them both
If you want them I’ll pretend to
I’ll protect them
That will be alright
That will be alright
I have better strategy than anyone in the world
I have better strategy than anyone in the world
I have better strategy than anyone in the world
I have better strategy than anyone in the world
I have better strategy than anyone in the world
I can be so rigid with my tactics

Withered Tulips
02:00
|
|
||
So, baby what you need
(So what, you sent the tulip)
If I decide that the whole world is fine
(But not as fine as it would be if I were in it)
What if you don't believe
In the darkness that's accountable to me
(You always cut the tulips)
Nice moon is it, nice mordant is it
What happens if you talk on and on
About there being good in everything
(You always cut the tulips)
What if you can't love my ingenious plans
(Don't ever cut my tulip)
What if she says 'everyone's a genius in their own way'
(No, no, no, no, no, no way)
That's even worse to say than to say they don't exist all
(Talk about a shriveling tulip)
Go inside
Really long time
If you're going out the farther side
Where’s mine
Grow down
Dreaming of you
You, too, could be true, loving you
What’s fine
Weeping every time
Wish I did, wish I could
What is this medico of sound
Rasping roar, rasping roar

The Weight Of My Heart
02:27
|
|
||
Theses tears might feel nasty, pat pas
Beat heartless, reclining pat pas
Our rose has become our tough spot
I will you to have it at last
The face that could pardon all fault
Without her I hardly can stand
Take to me, take to me, oh, oh
These tears might feel nasty, pat pas
I hide them from every but her
We’ll start living life again soon
With comfort and twice the full heart
And I come to pluck the glad tune
We meet on the platform that’s best
My heart weighs beyond the small bed
I can’t make it better or less
I wish that you’ll keep us in mind
And both of us remind how we may
Who can prepare for true love
Who can forbid that we get enough from it
Ana, let’s come to the spot their eyes watch
Let us kiss in the spot their eyes watch

On Soiled Perches
01:38
|
|
||
Some come here when everybody leaves you
Some come here when everybody leaves you
Tear my cord right now
And I lend like I see being done
Some come here when everybody leaves you
I came here for all the right reasons
I'm fine without having other perches
They're soiled with the hurt of every horseshit
Touch us soon
Right now
What will slowly be

Carnivore
01:18
|
|
||
I'm not a carnivore but that's not such a bad idea
I'm not a carnivore but that is not a bad idea
I'm not a carnivore but that is not a bad idea
I wish I invented that idea
I wish I invented that idea in the first place
I wish I went with that instead
How good that would look on my list
How good that would look off of theirs
If I can't be the first person to eat the flesh
I will not do it at all
And if I applied this to every area of my life
My life would look a lot like it does now

Know My Mindframe
01:46
|
|
||
If you can complete me
Cut me off the devil's chain
Let you know my mind frame
And you can decide if I deserve what it has done to me
Do me a favor
Put breath where it should be
And as long as you're with me
The bees will know better than to sting where you walk
For they're fully accountable to me
|

Two
(The sun haunts me)
(The sun haunts me)
Everyone can appreciate beauty
But no one else can get as close to it
As you’ve allowed me to
(Two)
Could you love the nighttime where I’m from
The nighttime is where I’m from
