Repetition
02:34

They say that you're too young to fully understand
And all the wars you wage are part of someone else's plans
Quietly become the things you've learned to rely on
Call it paranoia or an overwhelming sense of impending dread
I've been checking the facts
It was the greatest story that has ever been bought and sold
And no one has to know what we know
If you've got a secret
Don't let it show
Quietly become what you knew you were all along
The Repetition's got you down
It comes full circle pushing you around again
It's so much simpler to sleep
Than waking from the same dream
That's been pushing you around again

Comet
02:00

I am a comet
I'm not from around here
When gravity catches up
I'll burn in the atmosphere
But that's a long time from now
I'm still on the move for now
Remind me if we ever crossed paths
I get so high that I forget
Leave it alone
I am a comet
And this is space rock
Takes a long time to get anywhere
But I move so fast that I don't mind
Flying through outer space
Memories I can't trace
Anything I see today
I chew it up and spit it out
Leave it alone

Laughing
03:19
|

I hope that we can laugh about this someday soon
When laughing is the only thing left to do
We both know all the best told stories
Never tangled with truth
Like a well-read alligator poster in your room
I look up at all the posters in your room
When I was just a stranger
I was free to choose
Hit that city so hard in the guts
That it left a bruise
And there you sit
So artlessly abstracted
Idealized image of discontent
But I'm sure I heard you laughing
What a wonderful noise of shattering glass
But the wolves outside my door don't make a sound
Let's go downtown and watch the kids drinking blood

Cat

|
You don't want me for a pet
I'm bad, I scratched up all of the new carpet
You always call but I never come
Took you two weeks
Flyers all over town

Blackout Streets
02:51
|
|||
|
Sing to me
A song of repetition
For the blackout streets
For the hollowed out heart of a hero
Who doesn't do that kind of thing
Not anymore
"See, I turned from that path a long time ago
Sometimes I miss it but I try and not let it show"
Turn yr head
Stretch yr neck out to hear
Someone Somewhere saying Something
Infinitely important
Like "These are the years
I won't ask for them back
It was a matter of contrast
But now it's getting old
Sometimes I miss it but I try and not let it show"

Understand/Nothing
03:08
|
|||
|
I've got time
Time to burn
It's out of sight
Out of mind
Out of my hands but I understand
When you come home
I'll be cradling the telephone
When you come home
Find me crawling up the walls
A double dose of whatever you're having
The less I know
The more I understand/nothing

Half a Lie
02:18
|
|||
|
Half a lie is alright among thieves
Truth be told
He who laughs the loudest laughs alone
Now that the bitterest of seeds have all grown thorns
It's time to decide
Another try
Follow through
It all comes circling back to you
When everything you've set in stone is claimed by the sea
I'll remember you best counting backwards from ten
I never held my breath
