Go Back 04:15
I know a way to put the light out to the secret in your cave chest I know a lie that pulls the teeth out so you're spitting in your own regret I know a place for those of our kind it's sinking like a coal mine I know a way that I can show you but you're never gonna go back Go back, back, back I see the way your body moves me but your don't have to touch me your fingers ease their way to soothe me but your don't have to touch me I see the way your body moves me but you don't have to touch me your fingers ease their way to soothe me but you don't have to touch me Go back, back, back I see the way your body moves me Your fingers ease their way to soothe me I know a way to put the light out I know a lie that pulls the teeth out go back, back, back back, back, back

Triangle 04:24
Why does every car have to drive on by? Why do i wonder where they're going and who's inside? Why does every bird have to shit it my wandering eye? Why can't I ever be fully satisfied? I wanna see the light on the other side I wanna see the light on the other side I wanna see the light on the other side I wanna see the light on the other side I wanna see the light on the other side I wanna see the light on the other side I wanna plant grass on the other side It's gonna be greener in the better light in the better light... Why do all my thoughts have to run like a wild horse? Why does my love prematurely run it's course? Why do I have to grow up and be a married schmuck? When all I wanna do is fuck...fuck...fuck...fuck...fuck I wanna meet the man on the other side I wanna meet the man on the other side I wanna meet the girl on the other side I wanna ask them both to come inside I wanna meet the man on the other side I wanna meet the man on the other side I wanna plant grass on the other side It's gonna be greener in the better light in the better light... I had a good man but I couldn't seem to hold him tight My arms went limp when he tried to hold me in the night My heart burned up and turned out the furnace light My heart grew tired of fighting that same old fight with myself... Cause I wanna feel the light on the other side I wanna feel it burn deep in my eyes I wanna feel the light on the other side I wanna feel it deep in the darkest night I wanna feel the light on the other side I wanna feel the light on the other side I wanna plant grass on the other side It's gonna be greener on the other side

Word's out so say what your have to say to fill up the empty space that was my love the road splits wherever you need it to to do what you gotta do to find relief I'll be running across the street through and orchard of apple trees with all my thoughts the branches are scary when darkness comes the apples turn into plums then wedding rings two hearts don't need each other like they tell you on the TV and two wrongs will form another when we make it so easy I just wanna be the one I just wanna be the one sunrise I stay up for every night it seems it's the only time that I still believe that someday we'll sail up the ever-coast I'll still be the one you most love and receive two hearts don't need each other like they tell you on the TV and two wrongs will form another when we make it so easy I just wanna stake my claim all my love remains the same you dug this grave in the apple shade you dug this grave

Sailor 03:55
sail the seven seas and think of me hold your hand out to the wind don't think it's wrong to float along if I were you I'd leave here too pray the holy ghost would save your soul and keep you safely out on the storm light a candle in the night for me for you mine's burning patiently... nothing is good if it can't get better all that is true has to be discovered if you're still confused then please put down your anchor I'll come to you I will come to you sailor throw my letters out over the deck or keep them awhile under your bed don't think it's wrong to go alone if I were you I'd wonder too that if you gave your heart to just one girl would she follow throughout the world? or would she stay on land and plan for more? could she love you on the ocean floor?... nothing is good if it can't get better all that is true has to be discovered if you're still confused then please put down your anchor I'll come to you I will come to you sailor black vessel on the sea the bell tolls from the seams cry out with pride and need your bones ache to be free

Hang Up 04:31
thinking about leaving this beach I just dug my feet in swimming through an ocean to get back all your sweet, sweet devotion bury all those hatchets throw out our old ashes this is where our new life starts anywhere you're thinking I will come this weekend I just want to have your heart I know you like my long hair So i'll grow it out to lure you back here I'll put on your favorite dress that I've been saving or when you finally come back tell me all your secrets I will help you keep them I will help you change your mind this is where I hang up and start to pack my stuff up I will come to you this time I don't wanna have you on the side I just want to have a normal time, have a normal life I don't want to have you on the side I just want to love or let it die let it die... this is where I hang up and start to pack my stuff up I will come to you this time

Make your mind there will never be a good time to say hello or goodbye you have lost all your organizing thoughts that help you find what is right quarter life quarter life and you are just now finding the time the time to ask why I'll be setting sail I'll be on the trail but I'll be on your mind I'll be going back I'll get back on track but I'll be on your mind It's raining here I'm pushing back the thought of calling you to say won't you come my way please be strong please don't push or string along this heart of mine because it's mine I'll be setting sail I'll be on the trail But I'll be on your mind I'll be going back I'll get back on track But I'll be on your mind I've seen in the dark the valley of the night from the caravan to the satellite tell me would you make your mind

you are not alive until you've been inside the lion's den you are not in love until you give that person up you're going down, down, down, down, down just to get back up again you're going down, down, down, down , down just to get back up again you are not alone until you're rotting in a grave below you can't be set free unless you feel like you are bound by something down, down, down, down, down just to get back up again you're going down, down, down, down, down just to get back up again I can't win a holy war if I have nothing to fight for I can't win a holy way if I have nothing to fight for I can't win a holy war if I have nothing to fight for I can't win a holy war if I have nothing to fight for and I'll die so slow, I'll die so slow and I'll die so slow, I'll die so slow I can feel in my bones I'm growing old I can feel in my bones I'm growing old I can't win a holy war if I have nothing to fight for and I can't fight a holy war if I have nothing to live for

Keweenaw 06:59
weight on the water ice holding ice in a pan soberly swallow the note frozen deep in the sand superior this water freezing all tangible things cold seizing motion fall into a snow stormy sleep sleep take the bridge to Keweenaw I'll be standing 5 feet tall fish are swimming with eyes so small take the bridge to Keweenaw black white compass lead me to bleak and clean can't find my way out from these coats bundled hats and jeans we struggle and suffer to touch the intangible dreams grey billow clouds breathing but not just to breathe breathe take the bridge to Keweenaw I'll be standing 12 feet tall ghosts are hiding with eyes so small take the bridge to Keweenaw Keweenaw Keweenaw Keweenaw Keweenaw I'm not coming back to this life I had I'm not coming back I'm not coming back I will not be sad to lose what I have I will not be sad I will not be sad there's no absolute just this life to lose there's no absolute there's no absolute I want to be new to restart my youth I want to be new I want to be new
