1.	Head Of Love 00:24	lyrics
This is a head of love No head is made of blues Calling ‘cause we compare What could be not This is a head of...
2.	The Afterburn 01:05	lyrics
Take what you gave I can't keep you near another day Think of my name When you see any other treated cruelly And running for a private place Who so remote is as moored to the people out to find me Oh they'll hate that they must visit not one But two locales to spite me That is my house above, house apart, out of all It's better I leave than to know your domain is out of reach Half through the day I will nap But I'll rarely ever sleep To mock at my boundaries (How I'll need you to tomorrow)
3.	To Harm And Die And Be Unwilling 01:05
4.	No I Was Never Her Fit 01:21	lyrics
No, I was never her fit No, I was never described Bleed inside, bleed inside, bleed inside, bleed inside Plead in court, plead in court, plead in court, plead in court Bleed inside, bleed inside, bleed inside, bleed inside Plead in court, plead in court, plead in court, plead in court Make it happen (you have caught me) It gets better Make it happen (you have caught me) Wait and watch (You have made contact) Bleed inside, bleed inside Plead in court, plead in court Bleed inside and plead in court
5.	Floral In The Meantime 01:30	lyrics
I'll expect the day to come that takes the life from out of me Oh, but couldn't it be floral in the meantime I'll forgive you when you come No matter how prepared I was Oh, but couldn't it be floral in the meantime Every prior month so sweet The air unique with purple-pink Every day I've yet to breathe Allow it be done unconsciously (Couldn't it be? Couldn't it be?)
6.	Hatteras Red 01:22
7.	Schoolmaster 00:50	lyrics
Do they start up above us Do they start a school Do they stifle our progress Do they...
8.	Blushing Burn 02:10	lyrics
Welcome the blushing burn Welcome the blushing burn Welcome the blushing burn Welcome the blushing burn I will to say to her (say to, say to her my hope) "How I hoped for you And I can't wait to get our picture taken Professionally. Then we can see the blushing burn of my cheeks For framing on the wall in our hall." (Say to, say oh how I hope Say to, say oh how I hope) I will to say to her "I planned for you when you were just a dream. I ran to you as fast as I could possibly. And there's none else in my heart. And there's none else on the stage keeping me awake."
9.	In The Cow Half 01:07	lyrics
(All of the weak personalities want to hold me I'm a soldier) Hell has been equipped in the cow half I am jealous of the others Who won't live to watch it guard them Hell has been equipped in the cow half I'm so glad I've lost my memory So there's no past to compare this pain to Hell has been equipped in the cow half It's all because I want so bad to change your name And I will do it And I will thank you For showing me how much I can endure
10.	Killed You Should Keel 02:21	lyrics
Not a star for the frightened soul Feeling more for the window Don't shut me in I've all the world of potential Don't lock me in I've built the world of ambition Don't have me in the place among Them left allowed to gawk Them unconcerned with goals And deviltry set before my own Kill, you should keel Kill, you should keel Not a star for the frightened youth Feeling through for the window All my room gone
11.	My World Whole 02:49	lyrics
Two walk in a line I called you up thanking your soul Falls back in the line Human as a type of gold Wraps you in a bind The one who will take your pen Go on to the front of the line To know who you’re thinking of To align You’ve got to grow Into the arch, into the room And I would sew up the door So that you would be fine Enough so that you’d be my world Whole world, whole world Proud souls in a queue We have all day Go on, we have to have our day All day
12.	Tragedian 02:18	lyrics
Oh no, dear soul You hide Where do you hide Oh, dear soul In where do you hide? Let’s fight for the star That I confess, I confess Don’t leak out your soul If you gotta go far Don’t leak out your soul If you gotta go far Don’t think of your soul If you gotta goof off Don’t think of your soul If you gotta goof off
13.	I Get Silly With My Bees 01:22	lyrics
I get silly with my bees When I get silly The bees fly free When there's too much opium and alcohol in me I run the risk of sending out all my bees On those who I like On those who appeal to me (Where are these people outside of my song? I don't know these people I've never met a single one)
14.	Infinity Pool 02:25	lyrics
Wonder of the pool Wonder of the pool No more of you No more of you No more of you Please How many of you are there How many of them are you No harm to Heaven Let me tell you I was—
15.	Build A Pyramid 01:36	lyrics
Too much time Take a little off Spend some time With the people who would love your company Build a pyramid rock by rock And die a distant, drooling mess on the top They could taste me with their tongue And not spit up Fill my piercings, every one Here I come Here I come Mortal Here I come to the Mortal Fine Meal Do you promise? (Mhm) I have loathed and I've loved I've come back to you Spend some time in a place that truly loves Its inhabitants I have built my pyramid here My voice was not meant for language Or English
16.	Not Quite Who 02:53	lyrics
You have forced yourself out and upon Just any random one from healthier stories Your lies were white as eyes to any lacking their shine I would not share my tune with a bulb whose blown If a contest could be won by a thief You would have won me (you would) I watch you while you knock You knock, you knock, you knock, you knock Haven't you knocked enough So disappear with your filthy talk No dear, you're not quite who No dear, you're not quite who You're not, you're not, you're not, you're not You're not, you're not, you're not, you're not Not quite who I was hoping for... Not quite who I was hoping for Not quite who I was hoping for My true love will visit when I'm open If I start a shop of my own A bakery Where all the people walk by To press their face against the windows that I just cleaned
