Metronome highs keeping track as the hours fly by
Monotone eyes; his mind’s his disguise
He keeps the receipts to all of his dreams
Their colorful scenes—they make him believe
Did you hear what Mahntiey did?
What did Mahntiey do?
He fell right off the cliff!

Plains Song

As I go through the fields when I travel to my home
I can feel all the things of a life lived long ago
So will you, my dearest friend, meet the little one?
I’ll take you by the hand ‘til we reach eroded stones
take you all the way to my favorite northern moon
we’ll go to that little spring, find some memories of your own
we’re going to the plains

Sand castles surrounding me
I don’t know what I need to be
Tell me, Mama, oh, what shall I do?
Sand castles surrounding you
Sand castles surrounding me
I don’t know what I need to be
Tell me, Daddy, oh, what shall I do?
Sand castles surrounding you

Here comes Mr. Man
trying to stop our jam
I'm trying to play it cool
but I think that he's just a fool
Being myself's a thing
those others, they're all the same
they think I'm never tame
They're all the same

Worn out times; he wants more
She is trying to run and run and run
Crooked smile; it don’t look right
Closer signs; run and run and run
Run away
He’s not good for you
Close your eyes
It’ll be over soon
(2x)
Flame ignites; screaming back and forth
Nothing’s fine, so run and run and run
Run away
He’s not good for you
Close your eyes
It’ll be over soon
(2x)
She will not look
Hiding the truth
He is not shamed
Fight nail and tooth
Run away
He’s not good for you
Close your eyes
It’ll be over soon
(4x)

King of the Sea
04:18
|

|
I’m sorry for ruling too long
I’m falling into the crossbreed of all
So who gets the crown?
Who gets the crown?
They swim for me when I’m gone
Jewels of mine, ships haul
Bubbly underground throne
So who gets the crown?
Who gets the crown?
Who gets the crown?
Who gets the crown?
And the monsters hear me
I’ll be taken soon enough
I’ll never see you
My precious people
Farewell

Through the years I’ve been on this path
Until now, I’m going back
I left quite young; I was ten years old
The sun has changed, but not the moon
In the woods, I heard a cry
A snake jumped out, and he tried to bite
He asked me, “Sir, what’s your fate?”
I thought real hard, and then I said,
“Do you know where I’ve been?
I’ve seen so many things
Now as I sit here upon
I can see my favorite one.”
As I walked, I saw a bird
He looked at me, and then I heard,
“Sir, look at me. I’m so weak and frail.
My wings are dull, and my face is pale.”
I picked him up; I put him on my back
And then he said, “Where goes this long, long trek?”
I told him, “home, cos there’s my fate.”
And then I said what I told the snake
“Do you know where I’ve been?
I’ve seen so many things
Now as I sit here upon
I can see my favorite one.”

Haze

|

|
He didn’t even get to see her face
Because of everything running through his veins
In front of him was too thick of a haze
He was trapped is such a dark, dark place
And he’s gone
Far away
The walls were screaming much louder than she could
He didn’t know if it was bad or good
Direction in the carvings of the wood
Splattered with paintings of splashed-up mud
And he’s gone
Far away
Yes, he’s gone
Far away

Strange Soul

I’ll be damned if I let you catch my secondhand
‘Cause I know, first-hand, that secondhand—it ain’t much better
See no evil, hear no evil; well what’s there left to see
‘Cause I know, first-hand, there ain’t much that’s much better
‘Cause, girl, you’ve got a strange soul
It always keeps me guessing, but, baby, it’s a blessing
Girl, you’ve got a strange soul
Whenever I’m not around, it’s nowhere to be found
Staring down the barrel in the Virgin Mary’s eyes
As she’s telling me I should be treating you much better
Hand to God, I ain’t addicted to the night
But, what I am, baby, trust me, it ain’t much better
‘Cause, girl, you’ve got a strange soul
It always keeps me guessing, but, baby, it’s a blessing
Girl, you’ve got a strange soul
Whenever I’m not around, it’s nowhere to be found
