Severance 04:35
The virus spread among the masses fast A deadened world for the chosen last Comin’ around again Comin’ around again We’re holding on to what we used to know We’re learning faster, then we’re moving slow Comin’ around again Comin’ around again I held my righteous tongue Gripped tightly to my gun I looked you in the eye I like to think I tried Amy got lost when she went home one last time Looking through shoeboxes for bags of dime Comin’ around again Comin’ around again Now she’s stuck in a loop of trying on Dresses left behind from when she was young Comin’ around again Comin’ around again I held my righteous tongue Gripped tightly to my gun I looked you in the eye I like to think I tried I held it to your head Repetition is your end I looked you in the eye I like to think I tried I like to think I tried I like to think I tried I looked you in the eye I like to think I tried

I'm Not Free 02:25
You were no future, you were no present You were gone before you got here I was your creature, I was your peasant Now I’ve forgotten what you look like, dear Don’t save a dance for me I’m not free You don’t go forward, you don’t go back Now I’m stuck here in the middle I don’t remember singing, I don’t remember dreams And I’ve forgotten what we’re talking about here Don’t save a dance for me I’m not free Boo went the ghost, and out went the light You were no future, you were no present You were gone Don’t save a dance for me, I’m not free Don’t save a dance for me, I’m not free I’m not free I’m not free

I’m looking high from the branches And I’m getting down on my knees I can’t explain what has happened And I don’t care what you see All I see is magic All I see is magic I’m swimming the lake of heartache And I’m learning to let my body sink But even in water so tragic Even in darkness so deep All I see is magic All I see is magic It was always out of our control So why don’t we let it go? Calculations make me laugh All I see is magic in the math I hear your feet as they’re walking A sound that’s so pretty to me They talk just to hear themselves talking They sing just to hear themselves sing All I see is magic All I see is magic

Skyscraper 03:17
How very strong you must be made, standing so big and tall You are the skyscraper on my grave, so very tall How very red your roses are, never a stem so long You are the garden drinking my water all summer How very sharp your corners turn, angles of perfect faith You measure twice, then cut me out, nothing to waste How very red your roses are, never a stem so long You are the garden drinking my water all summer You are the garden drinking my water all summer

My Diary 03:03
My diary came alive today My diary sat up and stretched My diary came alive today Jumped right off the table My diary scratched her back and then Pulled a page out of its self My diary came alive today And went to a yoga class She learned to meditate But it didn’t take She can sit up straight And bloviate My diary works at the library Distributing reading materials Guess she had that feeling when everything’s burning The only thing she could do Was rip each page out, one at a time And show them to everyone she knew What is the inside of you? What is the inside of you? We don’t care that it comes from someone else’s point of view? What is the inside of you? My diary went to a park today Laid out on the grass Unpacked it all on a blanket she brought Made a picnic out of other people’s thoughts But she ate way too much, oh, she ate way too much Now my diary has diarrhea What is the inside of you? What is the inside of you? What is the inside of you?

I went away for seven days I was just clearing my head, getting space I turned off the phone, shut it all out Get back to the city, and there’s been a drought The water’s not clean, you can’t put it in your mouth The babies are clinging, crying out loud “Mama don’t go, don’t leave us alone” The planes flying low, low, low You try to make time stand still Try to make time stand still Try to make time time I walk down the middle line, past the chokecherries Those things always made me wince, but it’s fruit for free Freedom is bitter, but what do I know, I’m just walking down a road that my daddy owns The water’s so clean from that ol’ glacier freeze The babies are growing like the bitter fruit trees Mama don’t go, don’t leave us alone The planes flying low low You try to make time stand still Try to make time stand still Try to make time stand still Try to make time time

See Stars 03:00
I’m deflowered, I’m a charge I’ve recoiled, I’ve seen stars I have met myself in bars I’ve gone into strangers’ cars I’m an abstract lady I guess I’m alive I’m a nuclear baby I think I’m radiating A bad romance, love on the floor It’s been a dance, it’s been a war I’m an abstract lady I guess I’m alive I’m a nuclear baby I think I’m radiating I recover, close the door Open others, even scores It’s been easy, it’s been hard Sing so violent I see stars I drink blood, and I love hard Sing so violent I see stars I’m an abstract lady I guess I’m alive I’m a nuclear baby I think I’m radiating

Ocean 04:07
There is an ocean in front of you It appeared when you left everything that you knew Swallowing evening Dark without meaning All you see is the moonlight floating It’s drowning, baby, it’s sinking slowly Just sitting tight til the light starts glowing Your heart’s wide open There is an ocean in front of me The shore is my only friend and enemy Reach the end and see Forever and nothing All you see is the moonlight floating It’s drowning, baby, it’s sinking slowly Just sitting tight til the light starts showing My heart’s wide open

Believer 03:48
I’m selling down, I’m getting out You were one I coulda lived without And I gave my love to you I gave my love to you And now, the long goodbye Guess I learned how fast time flies I gave my love to you I gave my love to you Like I could split it into A hundred big hearts That grow little arms To hold your sick head and your stories tight Pink hearts with cherry red googly eyes Like I could split it into A hundred big hearts That grow little arms To hold your sick head and your stories tight Pink hearts with cherry red googly eyes One for you One for me Let’s throw one in there for world peace Let’s throw one in there ‘Cause I believe
