Atlantic 03:42
You and me together Two fossils running back And forth between child And adulthood I was sick – I had nowhere to go On a bench, I was a monster In an ocean of egos I think I wasted and replaced The other half of me Living large on the face of a Card – looking for the isle With the woman in white I think I wasted and replaced The other half of me But what is this – another angry Suspicion? Could it be you Were just another pill? You and me together Two fossils running back And forth between child And adulthood

You got your toes in the water You got your feet in the sand With Charlie Manson’s daughter Yeah she isn’t much a bother And she’s a real good listener – She can read your thoughts And she’s a real good kisser – In fact I just might miss her And she’s taking the stage You got your head in the water You got your toes in the sand With Charlie Manson’s daughter Yeah she isn’t much a bother And she’s a real good kisser – She can read your thoughts And she’s a real good listener – In fact I just might miss her And she’s taking the stage

Tried to get up when I thought I should've But I found that I couldn't freeze Hide your feet neat under wet sand You've got your wet hands He sees her coming Straight for his veins Hide when you think that you're not understood I think you'd try it if you could - to sew Try doing something when you know you should I think it'd do you good - but we know

Wasted breath Seeping, softly, Like a snake out Of my smiling neck The noise is too Thin now to break – It would only bend It would only bend I was doing fine I had a steady Check at the end Of each powdered Line – flush your soul Go get it back and Flush it again Flush it again Breath today and Wait for me – just Breath and we will be gone will be gone So these are the Depths and im sick Of living through You so just catch Your breath – or More so ask that It be given to you That it be given To you

Father, father hear my sin I got heroin under my skin I stop the pulse if it ever begins Forever dripping down upon the moment of waking Love is wonderful, love is pure Love is something that you cant ignore I've got my love and you've got yours To me, love is something that you're longing for And I love heroin No more pulling your legs around I've got seven little friends that make a unique sound It starts with the spark of your favorite moment and ends with the swelling of the blue ocean Father, father this is my sin It's such a shame that you won't join in But, like I said (and I think that you'll find) You've got yours and I've got mine

Way back when we lived in-country You carried your own But now that the old road’s hunching You carry us both Cant help but make my own torrah When the other seems gone Walking my path towards Georgia Never thought it’d go wrong Now I see your face (coming in too strong) Got my own place (since we’re moving on) I know my place in-boarder Love you like another Six flights – we danced On the box spring Inside a cold, dark hallway – float Down like a dead leaf – I know you hate what they all say Cramped up in your head to breath Been seven months going at this Or just a couple of weeks I’m buried – glued to the mattress – Fused in with the sheets Now I see your face (coming in too strong) Got my own place (since we’re moving on)

Jonesing 02:14
Take a picture of your arms in autumn Climbing down from a neon billboard Declining eyes way below the bottom Mountains dip and strike a foreign chord It used you to be What you called a mutual love But it used to be so remote - Pulsing at the bloom Of an autumn sun Taking pictures when I’m boasting greatly Take the bridge, veins in break Then again I’ve been jonesing lately When indigo's rising that’s all you take That’s all you take It used you to be What you called a mutual love But it used to be so remote - Pulsing at the bloom Of an autumn sun

Light 04:05
Steal the day when I come To you losing my mind – Offer me a cup There was a hint of Come what may in my Wasted days – seething Burning bright Bring the day – cold as it Is getting we could use the light New year’s old and gone And we’re both lookers now Sifting through the seasons For the best that we can find Nick and I forever There’s a grace beneath the board Of this I’m sure – boiled and bathed In light “Deep beneath the alley way’s a Place where I will gladly take you” How could I feel this way?
