"I'll be a killer whale,
when I grow up, I'll be a vulture
I'll be an animal, A carnivore,
I'll be a monster
Clenching my jagged jaws
Over the captured
I'll be a killer whale when I grow up
- Assembly Lines
I've been kind of tired lately
I've been not myself I'm feeling
Like I should be putting in
So much more than what I put in
The wife the kids are starting to get in the way of the important things
Like cars like ours
Like customers
Just keep smiling
- Astronaut
Do you still believe in God?
Said the preacher to the astronaut
I heard it's kinda lonesome there
Nothing to talk to but a cold, cold air
Tell me, tell me what was it like?
Did meaning fall from that celestial light?
Did it wrap you up in conversation?
Did it leave you like some ineffable nothing?
- echolocation
I have dreamed
I've dreamed your image
I've begun to believe
You have ceased to exist
In the tangible world
The blistering humming
We sleep
- Experience the Jewel
What would you do?
What would you do?
If desperation called for you
What would you do?
A big black cloud of smoke
You can't grip it by the charcoal throat
You can't sing it like a song you wrote
- Fog
These broken arms won't hold you down
These ruptured lungs won't make a sound
These syllables won't bring you back,
Won't stitch the holes, no bones intact
And I can't pretend that you were there
And I can't pretend I held your hand
And I miss your smile
- Insomnia
And I will not,
Grow tired,
Of crayon stars and fire.
The sunlight,
Has punctured tiny holes,
Of life.
- Jaws of Life
Hold me like a child
In your warm, warm arms
Whisper parables
Keep me safe from harm
Oh my sagging skin
Oh my burning skies
I will close my eyes
- Laser Beams
One day laser beams will cure my sight
Negative five, that's pretty much blind,
I wanna see things, you know
Stare so deep into the laptop light
Sip your coffee and stare,
Like you got something to say
But you can't say it cause it just 'aint there anymore
The black premonition flexed in his mind
- Metropolis
A full-grown man,
man casually dressed
caught a thought in a plan
in a busy metropolis
four tarot cards held to tightly to his chest
as if to protect
as if his life depended on
- Murderer
You're gonna want it all back
You're gonna want it all
You're gonna want it all back
You're gonna want it all
You're gonna want it all back
You're gonna want it all
Are you a starving man?
You're gonna want it all back
- Orca
"I'll be a killer whale,
when I grow up, I'll be a vulture
I'll be an animal, A carnivore,
I'll be a monster
Clenching my jagged jaws
Over the captured
I'll be a killer whale when I grow up
- People Talk
I'm afraid of men with clocks for eyes
with suits for skin
I'm afraid we've swallowed all our medicine
I'm afraid of God and all his angry clouds
I'm afraid the world will die without a sound
I was just trying to say something beautiful
something meaningful
- Search Party
Are you waiting for a miracle?
Are you waiting for a lightning bolt?
Are you waiting like a paranoid little boy?
Are you ever gonna come back home?
Do you really think the sky is falling?
How you ever gonna pick up the pieces?
Do you really think that anybody will listen?
Do you really think that anybody will notice?
- Snowstorm
and the hostess hass been waiting
use some time in rearranging
to keep her mind on something
besides the lack of people coming
you pull up in hesitation
is this the right location
you can hear some music playing
your hand knocks in obligation
- Sore
you've been awake all morning
trying to tell me something
i know you are
scared
you can tell me everything i wouldnt care
you know that i'll always be there
right by your side no matter what
