Face It 04:36
lyrics

Face it What's the point in faking anonymity I'm through here Talk so much you'll spoil the curiousity On and on until you're satisfied Marco Take a look around and see your enemy Your mother Your mother wishes she could keep up with the baby On and on, it's just a memory What do you know about me? Is there something I couldn't see? What do you know before you ever step outside and see? I should erase my life before it gets ahead of me Suspicious Epistemologically appetizing Coolin' (oh stop, you're pretty cool, yourself) Little brother waits until the afterparty On and on, you're just a memory Ghost town When's the last time anyone has tried to talk to me Smiling Christ almighty, where the hell is everybody?

Scissor Sisters 04:26
lyrics

I walked a mile in her shoes And I found I couldn't walk at all I fought the most with a ghost of myself That I forgot to call I travel through space, it's just a time and a place On a ship for the gods Sick of climbing the stairs, pit of earth in despair Reward is white in my hair Hey yeah, we are scissor sisters Rock you to the bone, leave yourself alone I wrestled with fear for what must have been years I was indisposed I don't remember his name, but we are one and the same The grey of blessed repose And now I wander around, 100 feet off the ground And I never make a sound I found in the end my only foe was my friend And now I'm empty again

Group Project 05:03
lyrics

I'm bound to say "take it slow" I still forget all the time, does it show? The family life is programmed to make a very simple Man out of me, the man out of me is waiting For somebody else who knows what the hell they're doing To just push me aside It doesn't make any sense, I know it What does it take to be a man? What's in my mind's eye? I don't know Is your life like mine? I don't know Trying to find some peace and quiet in this house But hardwood floors reverberate the clicking sound of Fingernails of cats and dogs, imagine The shouts and cries of little people But that's what it takes to be a man Overthinking, overthinking kids It's part and parcel, both of us are ine Conspirarating on how it's s'posed to be It's a group project, but I feel like it's just me I don't hate you yet I'm so selfish But I don't hate you yet We're come to get you now Four tiny people We're come to get you now Arkansas, Mississippi, Delaware, Canus Major Saginaw, Colorado, Oil City, Bethlehem Chicago Illinois, Omaha, New Mexico, North Carolina Minnesota, California, Maine, and Washington D.C. Charleston, South Carolina, the middle of nowhere Texas St. Mary and Martha's Monastery, the hottest place on planet Earth 20 dollars in tolls in Florida just to get to the coast so we could see our friends for like an hour from Melbourne, but not the cool Melbourne in Australia

You like to think that you are better than me Because I think I am better than you I'm switching signage at the back of the train Because I have nothing better to do You maybe think that I look so cool But I am having trouble with things I got this feeling that it's coming to me And I know, I think it's coming to me You can't fight fire with fire We all have a mommy

Paint the Ceiling 06:06
lyrics
buy track
Three words, just lie to me One friend is all I need Lay low, don't talk to me You are Persephone Three moves, then agony Make peace with mystery New life from old must be In the spirit of the Trinity Now lay aside all earthly cares Paint the ceiling red One goes out, one must come in Close the bathroom door Things will not be the same again

Pennies & Dimes 06:31
lyrics
buy track
Why do you ask the question when you already know the answer? Try counting numbers if you're just looking to fill the time up. I'm collecting bottlecaps until I cover all my safe walkpaths. Ceaselessly serving something until I find what I am looking for. How is it that every time I look it seems the second hand's the only one that's moving? How many people can be in a room before it becomes a fire hazard? I once did something interesting but then I lied about it because I didn't want to seem gauche. What if the grey cocoon is only grey because the caterpillar inside is already dead? I have two credit cards Save up your pennies and dimes Spend 'em to have a good time Stock up on liquor and wine Cause right now you're out of your mind
