Village

Yes, I was walking through town
You were spoken to if you could talk
And I guess their mouths matched what they said
But I’ve learned by now I could be wrong
Every bone wants to react
In another world when I begin
To treat this one as if it exists
When I come undone, you get it less
This body’s pulling apart
Ha, hardness
Ha, hardness
Ha, hardness
Ha, hardness
Ha, hardness
Ha, hardness
Ha, hardness
Ha, hardness
Village, hardness (feel it)
Village, hardness (feel it)
Village, hardness (feel it)
Yes, I was walking through town
With my taciturn scoff
Village, hardness (feel it)
Village, hardness (feel it)
Village, hardness (feel it)

The Starveling
01:05
|
|

So save me from pouring if I come too full
Then make me milky or watery
They're both just as good if I've been so long without
My bedstand is lined up with empty cups
(This is not a request)
(This is just an analogy)
With empty cups
Empty antique cups

Fatal Flaw
01:54
|
|
||
(One of every kind)
Nothing was my fatal flaw, my fatal flaw, my fatal flaw
Nothing was my fatal flaw, my fatal flaw, my fatal flaw
Nothing was my fatal flaw, my fatal flaw, my fatal flaw
Nothing was my fatal flaw, my fatal flaw, my fatal flaw
Nothing was my fatal flaw, my fatal flaw, my fatal flaw
Nothing was my fatal flaw, my fatal flaw, my fatal flaw
Nothing was my fatal flaw, my fatal flaw, my fatal flaw
Nothing was my fatal flaw, my fatal flaw, my fatal flaw
How do you console one who’s not sorry for a single thing
How do you console one who has never had a fatal flaw
You can’t
Nothing was my fatal flaw, my fatal flaw, my fatal flaw
Nothing was my fatal flaw, my fatal flaw, my fatal flaw
Maybe I have done something
That has escaped my conscious thought
Maybe I have done something
Tat has escaped my conscious thought
When will I be privileged to find out if I am right or wrong
When will I be privileged to find out if I am right or wrong
(Two of every kind would think I'm carnivorous)

Evensong
01:47
|
|

Oh, my T has fallen from me
Not to lose my autonomy
Land beside an & and a Z
Oh, this plan is so secure
Fall, my T
Fall, my T
Fall, my T
Fall, my T
So, how great that my heart for you exists
And I can't keep it a secret
Every other thing that they put onto my plate
Was wiped away when it didn't come naturally
But my heart is not a thing
And it won't go on a plate
It will thrive at the side of a singer
I'm the singer who will stand at the side of a singer
Who will light every evening song
Every evening song
Wake me from my sleep
To sing a thousand songs with you

The Crossing Of Her Arms
03:45
|
|

It's closing time for the eyes
It's closing time for the eyes
When Anita came into plain view
(I learned from Snake)
(The only other way)
(Careful be thy hoping)
There’s nothing to excuse
(Not knowing how long it should take)
Careful be...
(That's careful, that's careful)
When Anita crossed her arms at me
I almost fell apart, you know
What must be excused?
Tell me, tell me
When my heart had been afar in Cairo
(I learned from Snake)
(The only other way)
(Careful, be foreknowing)
The room for error was aside
(Not knowing how long it should take)
But it still knew how this had happened
It's closing time for the eyes
It's closing time for the eyes
It's closing time for the eyes
For my eyes
For my eyes
(Eyes)
When Anita crossed her arms at me
I almost fell apart, you know
What must be excused?
Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me

Valiant Eye
02:00
|
|
||
Valiant eye, you were one
You were wondering who
Valiant eye, you were one
You were wondering who
Valiant eye, who was two
Who was too far off from you
You were watching at a one-name list
Valiant eye
Valiant eye
Valiant eye
Valiant eye

Beat The Wheel
01:24
|
|
||
Everyone will only watch you spiral if they own you
Everyone is only caring if they think they own you
You, you decide if they own you
You, you must, you must think they own you
Oh well, they have not calmed you
They never...
Oh well, they have not calmed you
They never...
I will never watch a watch while it's spinning
Luck can be neutral
I won't wait to watch the table break underneath me

(The time has come to spread the paint)
How could I know
That your likeness was a maze
(How, how could I)
I could have guessed
From your posture on the stage
(Hey, hey could I)
I have been known to belittle everything
That isn't you and isn't I
Don't let my life leave with wrongful circumstance
Preserve my body, I know you can

Shot And Bothered
01:24
|
|
||
The bleeding needs a drop cloth
When you think it stopped
Realistic cup for realistic cut
We don't need a cup for what we think has stopped
Moving with a shot form over all of lawns

Armored Sphinx
00:39
|
|

I put the world on hold to dream of my own
Assume that I felt cold, but I felt true

Howl My Mean Dream

Drowning
Know every breathing
There's no way
They know every sting
Marriage, as others have called it
Disdain is warm without it
You're being fooled, mind
You're being fooled, mind
You're being fooled, mind
Ha, ha, ha
You're being fooled, mind
You're being fooled, mind
You're being fooled
Ha ha ha, ha ha ha, ha
I put the world on hold to dream of my own
They’ll assume that I felt so loveless and blue
And assume that I felt cold, but I felt true
I admire the light from afar, but love it in the dark
Assume that I felt cold, but I felt true
I put the world on hold to dream of my own
They’ll assume that I felt cold but I felt true
The night has not been wrong with my hand and hiss
They’ll assume that I felt cold, but I felt true
(I put the world on hold to dream of my own)

Cradle And All
01:25
|
|
||
Both smile wide
You've met before
And you have begged me for
A safe inner hope
Hah, hah, hah
You beg me for soul
I'll let you beg me for heart
I fell, I fell, I fell down
