Soldiers 04:22
lyrics
buy track
it'll be awhile it'll be awhile before the soldiers embrace in their peaceful war games it'll be a jump it'll need backup until a tough course is taken a clear mind to awaken whether or not it's open air or underground in thought, in prayer when red wide eyes are freely sent when swinging bridges reconnect one more time, all over again CHORUS: oh how they warn you they tell you it is for you to choose, decide cheer you on and run and hide calendar days will stack up until it all can be digested given fare sized up and tested awaiting word, done like dinner who's the lover? who's the winner? hands down, back to our places picnic talk when the weather is gracious surefire pain in hazy change CHORUS it'll be awhile it'll be awhile before machines along the boulevard restore their role of pushing hard an uphill climb to commit be well, stay well and work on it another try all over again CHORUS

top notch in schoolyard games playing like all of us wanted to play everybody liked to say your name the way it sounded made everybody want to be the same don't wanna be a dumb girl they don't pronounce their T's but what if there's a dumb girl who's very very special to me hey thirteen did you always win? were you like no other but you fit right in? salad days won't return but we remember you, thin and young cut throat- but not to everyone haven't always been a dumb girl you're losing creativity photos of you and your worldview don't count when that's all you see wasted on a plastic drug wasted on counterfeit dirt, counterfeit wasted only on yourself and in the end that's who you'll hurt you bet we learned something by now you bet we learned something by now meanstreak, got a meanstreak underneath

Giftland 02:48
lyrics

warm air, cricket vibes dark night motel adobe quiet hotel safety's not a given but we're in it so oh well oh well stiff limbs stretching in the sunshine it's been a long time since this familiar trippy freedom came along after a long ride a long ride CHORUS: it's liberation not what we dreamed crooked wants all spread out and diseased far away from the good life man, what's the good life? ephemeral light invading mountains of night focused in fright safety's not a given but we're in it so oh well oh well where in my memory would i place this manmade oasis? this familiar trippy freedom came along after a long ride a long ride CHORUS here's an array of dime a dozen treasures in every color to answer your what and why

Heathen 04:06
lyrics
buy track
a heathen cry at the wildfire booming ben call out the lost choir cupido the terror redeemed by the delight the bearer of love with a strong bite cupido the honor of mourning a hard act to follow tough as nails tough as nails the edge of survival in the eyes of denial buck up, cupido

Pencil Box 02:46
lyrics
buy track
melting crayons pencil box daydream neon paint drops unsure of where to turn before a diet of dear old worms spineless, do you think? well if you back away of course i'd shrink i wouldn't call it being weak fake this nobody could break this take this who else could make this? create this what else could save this? shake this how else to escape this? but look, i can move and breathe i can still carry all these things i wouldn't call it being weak

Geronimo 03:44
lyrics
buy track
it's ok to live life in one room you'll see it all here you'll feel it, too you wonder now what's keeping you? when the time was up and the joke was over you were glad just to have known her you wonder now what's keeping you? maybe it's the make believe ghosts we grew to know old flames, Geronimo maybe it's that in a place where stories follow every name it makes for its own escape lesson learned no promises every turn comes with a test you wonder now what's keeping you? you wonder now what's keeping you?
