Village 01:36
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)

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
3.
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

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

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
8.
(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
9.
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
10.
I put the world on hold to dream of my own Assume that I felt cold, but I felt true
11.
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)
12.
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
