Pieces 03:21
Pieces I was sitting today In a little place in Montauk just listening to the waves Something in the air seems a little strange Either something in my mind Or the world just kind of changed Chorus: { Must have dropped something running from the rain And I know I’ve never really been completely sane But a piece of solidity melted from my brain I don’t know what but something’s gone Must have lost another piece of my head Must have lost another piece of my head Must have lost another piece of my head} Come on back mister Jones I’ve seen you lurking ‘round a couple songs And I think I’ve seen your face before When I stared mindlessly at the open door When everything about myself just couldn’t be found No one really knows what’s going down No one really knows what’s going down :Chorus: I’ve been silent for too long I may have forgotten how to speak But if I stare at you for long enough My mind just might spring a leak ‘cause words they seem so empty now you cough them up and they fall right on the ground you spend your time scribbling on the silence just for the sake of making sound just for the sake of making sound :Chorus:

On a Whisper 03:05
On a whisper Sitting on a whisper till the storm subsides There’s a dank soggy feeling and it sticks to your insides Thought you were done, but you knew you were wrong ‘Cause you never really like to hold still for too long Saw you thinking to your self it would be quite swell If you could buy a little piece of happiness in a nut shell Checking all their pockets, everyone would hoot and holler You could get them at the market and they’d only cost a dollar Go back just a minute I didn’t understand a word you said I think you’ve been keeping your mind in our pocket Instead of in your head Now slow down just a little I think we’ve been wasting all of our time Trying too hard not to fall behind And you’ve got this strange sort of itch on your brain Like it’s drying in the corner after left in the rain I know it’s hard to grasp That you’re not something special And you’ve got this strange sort of churning in your gut Like a piece of your spirit fell out of your butt Yes, I know it’s hard to grasp That you’re not something special And it’s a strange thought to realize the strife Of trying to organize the details of your life ‘Cause there’s not a hole in which you can crawl To get to the bottom of it all And if I could go on an expedition To try and diagnose our peculiar condition I think our results would leave us playfully amused And reveal that we’re just chronically confused And I don’t have a destination And I don’t really care And I don’t have a proposition On when I’ll be getting there And if you frown at what I do Well I could criticize you too But nothing would change a thing Now go back just a minute I don’t think you’ve been trying your very best I think you’ve been keeping your heart in your wallet Instead of in your chest Now slow down just a little I think we’ve been wasting all of our time Trying too hard Not to fall behind

Optimism 02:48
Optimism Lonely we fall To face the uncertainty of it all We’re swimming in the dark And I see that you’re frowning At the shadows in the air But I want to sit and love The darkness that is the Chorus: {So close your eyes And fall asleep Let your conscience feel the light That resides in you so deep I realize the walls Are crumbling to the ground And I don’t need your heavy eyes Staring me down} Spring time’s not coming There’s no laughter in the breeze And I can see the terror that comes with life Shaking in my knees But can’t you taste that sweetness In the cold bitter night Things may be changing But I think that they’ll be all right :Chorus:

Sometimes 03:13
Sometimes Looking at this mess of scattered papers on the floor That came from empty interactions with people once before We close our eyes to all the pretty little faces we once knew It’s what we do Sometimes It’s what we do Sometimes I wish that I could let you know precisely what I mean To fill the miles of silence in the inches between us But words can be hollow as everybody knows It’s how it goes Sometimes It’s how it goes Sometimes And every now and then I can’t help but feel That the universe is mad of a giant hamster wheel And everybody’s running just because they can But they don’t really understand And I’ve been running too ‘Cause there’s nothing else to do But only sometimes Only sometimes And now we’re dying in the sunshine and we’re dying in the rain And some are dying faster but we’re dying all the same And it often really blows To just sit and decompose But only sometimes Sometimes it’s actually kind of cozy And we should all take a little advise from a posy ‘Cause all they do is posy in the sunshine And posy in the rain And no matter what is said Well they posy all the same And they never stop and question the position of their time No, posy’s don’t ask why Am I alive Now after far too much tequila I was talking with a friend He said ,“I’m tired of lying and I’m tired of pretending And does love always make it worth it in the end?” And I said, “sometimes” “Only sometimes”

Something hidden I’ve got something hidden in my bedroom Yes I’ve got something hidden in my bedroom If you’re interested It’s underneath my bed Yes, I’ve got something hidden in my bedroom If you’d rather pass so be it I know that most would be terrified to see it But if you pass the tests I’m sure you’ll be impressed Yeah, I’ve got something hidden in my bedroom It’s something I hold so close to me Maybe the world isn’t qualified to see And you’re not out to seek it If it’s seen I just can’t keep it Maybe it’s better off left a secret Chorus: {So I guess it’s time to close up the windows Let your thoughts seep into the shadows Despite what was said, it’s an ordinary day Where nothing is hidden away} I’ve got something hidden in my chest I’ve got something hidden in my chest I can assure you from the get go It’s not the very best But I’ve got something hidden in my chest I do my best to control it It would be a bloody mess to deal with if you stole it And it’d disturb all the children To be flopping on a stage So I’ll keep it safely in my rib cage I will keep it safely in my rib cage :Chorus: I’ve got something hidden in my head I’ve got something hidden in my head It’s infectious and grotesque If let out will make a mess So I think I’ll just keep it there instead I think I’ll just keep it there instead You claim it’d be better if I showed you But just a sliver of the content would explode you Just a peek inside And it’d make you want to hide Believe me darling I have tried Believe me darling I have tried :Chorus:

Words 02:39
Words There are spaces between all the time as it flies You say it’s hard to catch my eyes Well sometimes I forget that you can see me too When I look, when I look at you So I just run away into a place with in my mind It can be hard to stick around in these tenuous times And digging through your self you never know what you might find It’s just, oh, ummm… Never mind Words aren’t worth my time No, words aren’t worth my time There are spaces between what you think and what you say And it always comes out a different way And by he time it makes sense it’s just too late To actually communicate So I just run away into a place with in my mind I’m not running from you, I’m just running from some things I left behind Cause digging through yourself you never know what you might find It’s just, uhhhhh… Never mind Words aren’t worth my time No, words aren’t worth my time There are too many ways to think and too many ways to feel About the things that make you feel a bit too real And mostly when I speak, I don’t say what I mean I just focus on the spaces in between And I don’t know where to run all the time No. I don’t know where to run all the time It’s just, oh, ummm… Never mind Words aren’t worth my time No words aren’t worth my time

Owl Faces 09:50
Owl Faces Well, I’ve been listening softly to that music in the trees Caught up in the flow of that synchronized disease I can’t put my mind exactly on those words that you said ‘Cause I’ve been laughing in the dark to those circles in my head Singing, maybe someday Maybe someday Maybe someday I’ll understand Well, you live in a state of constant anticipation Trying to reach a point of solid validation I can see that you try from the soles of your shoes But you’re really very quite confused But, maybe someday Maybe someday Maybe someday you’ll understand Well, if I could look through the fog and pry my way inside To those hidden little treasures in the vessels in your eyes Well, I’d tell you ‘bout your soul and you’d tell me ‘bout mine And there’d be something profound about that moment But I can’t, no I can’t define our direction ‘Cause I can’t, no I can’t define our reflections And I wonder if it will ever seem clear ‘Cause right now we just happen to be here But, maybe someday Maybe someday Maybe someday we’ll understand Well, this is only two minutes long Which is far too short to be a song So you ask me what I’m thinking ‘bout Well, I’ll tell you what I’m thinking ‘bout I’m thinking ‘bout Owl faces! Owl faces! Owl faces! Owl faces in the dark Ooh, owl faces! Owl faces! Owl faces in the dark So I ask you what you want to be And you tell me that you want to be Well, something more than what you are Well, I’m sorry to be so frank but you aint nothing babe You aint nothing at all And there aint nothing you can say And there aint nothing you can do But that’s That’s why I like you.
