Long Live 04:12
Save some daylight son – a darkness is gonna come. Daughter gather water – a desert’s spreading over. Every sweet seed you’ve sewn. Every good thing you’ve grown. Every last light you’ve known. Shadow swallows up soon. Long live you’re living on. Long live your living on. Long live you’re living on.

Rain Parade 02:08
Rain on, oh rain on my parade End-on-end living on borrowed time Oh, I doubt that anybody knows If anyone tells you that enmity claims you My oh my… Reeling forth with a knee-jerk feeling With a straw man for the other moment Yet the regent’s meaning is a one-way reason For the call here is implement, ignore Out to be someone who claims they’ve seen it all Back with an earful tune in to that one-way reason Still at least you think you know because you’re loyal Well it’s not so easy to just always go pick sides Still at least you think you know yet wonder why? Wonder why it isn’t Wonder why and try it Wonder why?

Screens 02:54
Stand right there so we can get all of this so well framed but too fucked up to focus, snap a shot when the clock strikes twelve everyone will take a picture of themselves. A face awash in so much blue light look at you looking down somehow despite checking screens pressing keys hard to believe you still missed the message waiting to be received. Living for a witness, but what good is now without some…(presence)?

No Rojos 02:49
So revealing I can tell by your eyes So revealing how words are wise So revealing so many ways to die I can’t tell you why By denying those we don’t know So revealing so many ways to die I can tell by your eyes by denying No estoy un rojo El vino en los calles The bodies run cold By denying all relations They could tell you why By denying those who remain Slowly forgetting the memory maybe Is all-demanding silence Slowly is only a promise remaining To please bury me there Beside the vine

To sink within the sinking in. Push the feet across concrete. Every path already paved, no new way to no new ways. But keep moving, some comfort’s found in at least not losing ground. What keeps you up, what let’s you sleep? Pay the debts and grind the teeth. Each body a chance to reach every branch a chance to climb. Fell the tree to count the rings. What's the sum of what's missing? Once to wonder, now to want whatever it is. To act as though you are a child. To live as if you never were.

Waves 04:33
I found out myself lying Staring at the sky the end is worth full-denying Keep right on riding leaving reason behind I found out myself in times when we’re born to run Shook the eyes and went oh simpático And everybody wonders how soul-defining Lifts into the waves Pulling out the plug I knew it was time to roll Shut the eyes and went quietly in Make a wish and whisper start with hold on Alright Then attack take a thoughtful tact And make it right back to the border-line Are they mine? Are they mine or are they yours? If they’re mine well how will I know? You say how will I know? Reach back hold fast go down keep that and Quite honestly it’s all awe it’s all love Slow down goodbye

An Aggregate 02:42
And it’s already focused on the obscene outside Holding on to the heat outright handing off to a debt-bound man rolling over on it Now it’s out on the mat made the feat alright over and over, polite Take it all yet leave it honored Step forth the fool reloaded Yet he’s already focused on it and won’t slow down On second thought more leverage goes the theory On and on relate the story one more time for the biased jury With no time left liquidate, shut up, and focus Forthright, measured responsive impulse An aggregate difficult to derive Let alone QED (quod erat demonstrandum) it.

Wire Walk 03:56
Wire walk between two towers, does not balance become power? There’s a strength in simply sensing which way your weight is now shifting in the galaxy’s slow twirl, in the spinning, tilted world, among the drunken, reeling masses, how will you somehow hold yourself still now, don’t move, let your lungs fill until you sense some sense balanced. Don’t forget each step is just a bet against the next Step to the line left as a warning Step passed the line into the waiting Sky Walk across the vast and empty space invites the careful body to transverse and to fulfill no prophecy provides the will to stay still now don’t move let your lungs fill until you sense some sense balanced. Please don’t forget each step is just a bet against the next Step to the line left as a warning Step passed the line into the waiting Step to the line left as a warning Step passed the line into the morning Light
