People in wolf suits flock in whether or not you want them And I can’t see straight for the spin of all of their voices come in, coming in I’ll find some big-breasted bird who’s gonna tell me all the rumors that he’s heard That there tree is gonna die If you know where to look, you will surely find a hole in the sky, a crack in the world And we’re all gonna die I could spend a thousand days trying to make you happy And I could use one thousand ways to try to make you love me But not a one of them will And I’ll take a walk with you, and we’ll wish upon every shooting star We’re gonna need a lot of wishes if we plan to make it very far When we’re headed for the river, though the night is dark, I see you when you smile As you dream upon the surface, I’m gonna hide under the water for a while In my own little world, a moon all our own, a silent inverted song In one little town; in my little town

Higher Power 01:54
We record all our dreams, our sleeping patterns I wake you in the night; I feel so rattled Repair my synergy, my broken wires, and retransmit to me your higher power now

Side Porch 02:45
So what’s your plan for going unnoticed? Who’ll be the dummy in your bed? You’ll take the stairs and use the side porch and drop into the night Where do you go when you’re not thinking? This house, these people don’t exist You’re taking me down a lonely, dark road It’s just a thing you like At the edge I will lay down until the motormouths come around By the fence I will do my time ‘til my time comes How does it go when you’re reminded this form extends past your skin? This night still has us caught in forever, ‘til the faint light At the edge I will lay down until the motormouths come around By the fence I will do my time ‘til my time comes

Cold Walk 02:32
I told you something that I didn't mean I said the future was red I made a promise that I couldn't keep while I was safe in your bed Lay down your arms; you don't need them If you ever think you could believe it You'll call it a day when you don't get your way It's a shame; it's okay I had a feeling that I didn’t need I took a cold walk in May I wrote a letter that you’ll never read I didn’t throw it away Pick up your feet and lead them If you ever look back, you won’t leave it You’re tired and afraid; don’t give up right away It's a shame; it's okay

Time 01:17
The universe is like a story that we are all reading at the same time

You’re walking down the road, don’t know which way to go There’s only really one way you after all You’re floating down the stream; you don’t know what it means There’s only really one you can go I would never have forgiven her if I were you But then if I were either of you, I would do as you do Would we dive into the water with all your clothes on? Wait there underneath the surface? Don’t come back ‘til dawn Even if you’re right; even if it’s true, I would never go there with you Even when they left—find somebody else—I could never be by myself Even all the times we had were wrong We only dreamed just a little We only screamed just a little We only cling just a little, a little too much We only dared just a little We only cared just a little We were taught to be scared just a little, a little too much We only cried just a little Some of us, only lied just a little We only grew up a little, a little too fast We only prayed just a little We only strayed just a little We only stayed just a little, a little too long

For everything that happens, there is a reason And there is necessarily a cause for any cause resulting in an action or decision And no one would suggest that we are immortal So the ultimate causes of any event must precede the lives of agents involved therein

Closure 04:06
Calling me when I’m at my most vulnerable Calling me, deliberately as a means to an end Let the matters fall to different hands And time and again I’m fooled There must still be something to lose But no invention’s worth the ache I feel when I wake and I never moved His eyes lit up; they were bittersweet He just smiled and said, “How are you?” I followed blindly down to the conceit where all of it came true I tried; there’s nothing else to do Calling me when there are no diversions left Calling me, reaching deep for a small, hidden fear, what could not have been imagined at will From the stairs I look down with dread at a conscious, blinking, severed head I hold onto the sigh I heave when I wake and you’re still dead Her closure came in the form of a dream She just smiled and said, “It’s from God” Then what was the purpose intended for me when it all became my fault? I won’t say anything at all The ropes are burning me Why can’t I just let them go?

Bereft 02:07
Where had I heard this wind before Change like this to a deeper roar? What would it take my standing there for, Holding open a restive door, Looking down hill to a frothy shore? Summer was past and the day was past. Sombre clouds in the west were massed. Out on the porch's sagging floor, Leaves got up in a coil and hissed, Blindly struck at my knee and missed. Something sinister in the tone Told me my secret must be known: Word I was in the house alone Somehow must have gotten abroad, Word I was in my life alone, Word I had no one left but God.

Hap 01:41
Time has turned itself against me Back when we were friends, we’d make things with our hands Now it runs while I stand Sun, how did you even find me? I was wrapped up in the cold, determined not to go Now I’m fixing to leave home And I won’t do everyone’s dance But I want to take another chance at becoming who I was before I was me
