1.The Ston
2.Magic Bumrush
We were wearing monkey masks
Like all the kids in Bushwick
Watchin' the camera zoomin' in and out
Like I remember
How the orange juice sun would pour
The jammin' in the kitchen
2004 we echoed JAH into
the heat-soaked summer night.
And you were alive
You were so alive
You were alive
And if you see me down upon
That sleeping mirror
Watching the T.V. static
In and out like I remember
How we were sitting on
The bench beside the ocean
And I wanted to talk to you
About if you were on the other side
And you would say Hi
You should say Hi!
You should stay high!
3.Gilding The Lily
I woke up from a purple dream
The house was dark a lonely gleem
Had flashed upon my waking eyes
Such a sad device
That I could not seem to make nice
I'm still the same old boy you see
A little more tough than I used to be
But I'm still not good at goodbyes
And I still keep putting out fires
That come to be
The charm of you has come to me
And I'm a little more soft than I used to be
But I still can take a surprise
You've got the sweetest replies
And I just keep killing the flies
4.Cinematic Idea
We're pretty diamonds pouring out
all dancing on massive flowers
like horses pouring down
and where could we go?
We're pretty pictures painted out
Synapsing in crimson brainwaves
Oceans washing down
Where do we go
From here? don't say nothing
I want it more than ever before
Yea Yea – Say something
You're a God upon your own shore
We're bloody lightning crashing down
Tap dancing on massive razors
God heads falling south
Where will we go
From here? Don't say nothing
I want it more than ever before
Yea Yea – Say something
You're a God upon your own shore
5.I Miss You So Much, It Hurts So Bad
The cups in the kitchen sink
Mean I've had too much to drink
And I don't think that I can think
About you anymore
But if I could change your mind
If I could stand still in line
If I could feel fine
Without you anymore
You know I would take the step
Off stones from the water's edge
And balance my trembling breath
In time for the other side
I miss you so much, it hurts so bad
I miss you so much, and I'm so sad
I miss you so much, it hurts so bad
You're the only love that I'll never have
6.We Are The Electric Newspaper Ripoffs
They were the bright wax jammerz
Teenage helperz
For foggy schooldays skipped in
Ohio parking lots
I'm trying not to hide
I'm trying to get you
I wanna save you like
All of them saved me
They're finally underground
Finally in our town
They're finally underground.
And I am the screaming highway.
Hiroshima.
We got a gift for our next level
Brothers and sisters.
And I'm trying not to hide
I'm trying to get you
I wanna save you like
All of them saved me.
And I could get to you
The way they got to me
Before we go underground
7.The Visionary Embolist
The bulldogs set their guns down
at the foot of the bed
the pistol and the stamen
mock whatever was said.
The sisters have subsided
in the televised throws
the coaxing of minors
in traditional clothes
we have all have paid off
the visionary embolist
8.Smoke And Mirrors
Knocked out, try to climb too high
you might escape your virtue,
looking to the ground
you lost your wings.
Punch drunk in the winter sun,
it's all a dream.
So let's take a ride inside the dream.
Let's take a ride inside the dream.
Let's take a ride inside the dream.
If you could look into the sleeping scenes
in which I awake, you could see why
I want you this way.
My life is second guesses now,
reflecting on the lake,
and what I wanted to say is—
Washed out, try to fall to far
you might succeed in your virtue,
spinning all around
you lost your friends.
Punch drunk in the summer wind,
it's all a dream.
So let's take a ride inside the dream.
Let's take a ride inside the dream.
Let's take a ride inside the dream.
If you could look into the sleeping scenes
in which I awake, you could see why
I want you this way.
My life is second guesses now,
reflecting on the lake,
and what I wanted to say is
9.The Stone Statue I
If you say so
You'll never know
How I will go
Further than you run
You don't know what's been done
In the past
A soldier's grasp to try and make it last
You don't know what's flashed past
In the night
That wasn't right
You're out of sight but I can
Still see your face
It's a disgrace
In the white
So blind
Never mind that you were
Left out in the rain
Because you can't feel pain
And if you want we can never talk
That's what you say but
I don't know
And you will never know
10.Monkey In My Chair
There is a free-floating guise
fucking the back of my head
drill holes in the sky
the color of lead
we of the great appetite
the grit and the road
tore a hole in the ass of our jeans
overfed and alone
there is a monkey in my chair
there is a monkey in my chair
somebody turned out the lights
there is a monkey in my chair
11.Vanessa's Theatre Of Peace
You motion to make haste now
The separation of two valuable lies
Has pressed you into a symptom
Now that's a surprise
For the girl who flies by
All dressed in the night
With her heart paper white
Wake me up, plunge your head in the river
Somehow stop all these terrible spots of delight
Pull me out of that windy newspaper
Crashing on by,
With that look in your eyes
With the blue in your skies
With your paper heart cries
12.My Kind Of Man
Fed up, I threw the notebook
across the room
Threw up once more this morning
knowing I would never see you again
And that's just how it is
You take what you can't leave
You smoke and watch the fire smoldering
with ashes in your eyes
it comes as no surprise
I kicked the table down
smashed glasses in my sleep
and I could smell the demons
surrounding me
But that's just how it is
You take one on the chin
You smoke and watch the fire smoldering
with ashes in your eyes
it comes as no surprise
13.Pointing Fingers
14.Postmodern Falconry
I held the waterfall, felt all it fall,
returned the favor
I held the loving cup, made nice to all
the friends you gave her
Its nothing like two new balloons
Stuck in your secret pocket
I tasted caramel and plugged the amp
Into the socket
Now we've got fantasies
to meet and greet Return the savior
Postmodern Falconry we sought
to teach Dr. Xavier
We'll hide inside the mall and kill it all
The lonely locket
LeBron the labyrinth taking off inside
A secret rocket
15.Supernatural Disasters
When we got there,
The legions were long gone.
The monuments were cracked
And war-torn.
All false idols around
We had to tear them down
We had to build our own.
Now moving on from the naval-gazing loners
The posers at the gate
We will carve our names in the snow
And find out right away.
And when we left there
A legacy to be undone
For jokers yet to come.
It's just a fact, these supernatural disasters
Of the modern age.
Weird cosmic jokes
And ponytail jive
That's what we'll fight
And we will save the date
We will carve our names in the snow
Find out right away
We will melt our names in the stone
Look back at today
And say…
