Heartwork 03:31
+HEARTWORK+ 
Hold the phone ’til I’m awake, bend the rules until they break, I’m alone like every other fool. Wish I could catch the dreams that fall, maybe I should burn them all? Instead I make the bed I lie awake in. Heartwork, in the dark of your room Something else coming soon, Who are you now? Words are not an easy thing, what with all the pain they bring, A juggler making do with rotten fruit. But what’s the point of delicate? Whose and what’s the etiquette? Ripping out the pages til they’re new Heartwork, in the dark of your room Something else coming soon, Who are you now? Heartwork, in the light of the day When you can’t look away, But you already know.

Jules 03:13
+JULES+ Through all of the hard times, We’re here somehow. Those lights that hovered over you We never noticed them at all. Do you know what I owe you? You’ve got to now. These walls are thin and the night time washes over you All sleeping in, we need our time alone. Jules glisten, as the lights still hover over you, how could I live, how could I live without? Like the moon turns the oceans Like the northern star You’re the push and the pull of me You’re my propeller lifting off. These walls are thin and the night time washes over you All sleeping in, we need our time alone. Jules glisten, as the light still hovers over you, how could I live, how could I live without? Through all of the good times, You’ve got me now.

Follow 04:09
+FOLLOW+ You always wanted more of something, You always needed more of me. Now I ask you, what I could do To satisfy this? Who am I but to be a wonder? Who am I but to be a king? Who am I now in the darkness? Who am I now? A past that’s haunted by wind and nothing Nobody’s baying at the moon. They still ask you, what you could do, To satisfy this? Who am I but to be a wonder? Who am I but to be a king? Who am I now in the darkness? Who am I now? I’ll follow, I’ll follow, I’ll follow, and change again. I’ll follow, I’ll follow, I’ll follow, and change again.

Joy 03:03
+JOY+ What does language do for dreaming? ‘Cuz words feel clumsy, faulty little tents. Are they flesh and bone? Are they proximal? Or faint color through the cracks? I’ve come to obsess over my own fault lines, Where I hope those cracks will soon appear But how can I embrace all this loneliness As a constant state without glorifying it? We used to dream of bigger falls, but every bruise can start out simple. These days I wonder what we’re after? Slow burn’s just another way to heal. We can’t begin to trace, all this loneliness In its constant state without glorifying it. The joy the joy of the accolade, The joy the joy of the accolade, The joy the joy of the accolade… How can I embrace, all this loneliness As a constant state without glorifying it?

Moon 04:24
+MOON+ I wanna eat the moon, raw peels of desire I wanna eat until love changes in my mouth. I want the world inside, let it shred my skin- What it rends it might destroy, or change again. Bend or break in the night. What’s lost? We walled it up, made the shame feel safe But open air might lend some dreams again. I can move this bag of bones, Cause I don’t wanna be a stone Just unmoving on my own, We can move this bag of bones. Can’t explain away those dreams and desires, What it bends it might destroy, or change again. I can move this bag of bones, Cause I don’t wanna be a stone Just unmoving on my own, We can move this bag of bones.

Cornerline 03:26
+CORNERLINE+ Get up, get out, get on. Let up, let out, let on. Some billion years before when we were cold stars And anything that moved you was the right kind of love, We tried to figure out how to play the game Missing all the marks until the next sight of day. Oh god, we never had you on the corner line Oh god, we never had you on the corner line Spend quick, your money earned was always just a vision. My life, my job, my platform was a superstition. Oh god, we didn’t have you on the corner line Oh god, we didn’t have you on the corner line This tree must be at least a hundred years my elder I’ll bet we shared at least some element ancestor Oh god, we didn’t need you on the corner line Oh god, we didn’t need you on the corner line

Innovate 03:31
+INNOVATE+ Worn edges of a postcard long delayed, Thought we could do it better but the timeframe never came. The window when they could make their power play But they missed the chance, oh baby just to play All night, all night, all night until this, All night, oh night, when we innovate. You gave it something, something with feeling, All night, our night. Towers fall and towers fade Honey, when do we need to come around? Just like my Saturn that clock tower’s waiting Honey, but if we bow then we’d be flat, Let’s shed the timepiece, make it our own. Behavior we’d love to elevate, But the paper’s shredded, no more info on the page. The truth lives so far away from state That sometimes our chance is, baby, just to pray… All night, all night, oh night until this, Oh night, oh night, when we innovate. You gave it something, something with feeling, All night, our night. Honey, when do we need to come around? Just like my Saturn that clock tower’s waiting Honey, but if we bow then we’d be flat, Honey, but if we bow then we’d be flat; we’ve got each other now.

Wanda 03:49
+WANDA+ Gold eyes on the fat Voices are figuring out the key Soft pitch sends us back But everything is greener in between These lines spread on So let’s press on I could spend, all the rest of my life waiting. On ground and in flight, The smallest figures move alike Those walls never hide Cause everything is greener in between These lines, spread on. So let’s press on I look at the edge of the body of difference If we let it out could we all be the witness? I won’t spend all the rest of my life waiting.

Boss-A 03:40
+BOSS-A+ Who do I go to when the night descends? Mind is meddling, such a righteous little boss. She hates it when I’m working, she hates it when I stop, But don’t I wake her up? All by myself, empty pages are riddled with them. All by myself, what’s the choice if I sink or I swim? I know the answer, know the process too You say yes until, You find yourself inside the blue But every time she steps in, something feels so right A deep desire to please her, her heel digs in my side. All by myself, what’s the choice if I sink or I swim? Please, leave me more. If I wanted something else, I’d find the door. She hates it when I’m working, She hates it when I stop.
10.
Even When 04:51
+EVEN WHEN+ Even when I lie I don’t lie, I’m proud but then I’m hungry. Even when I trust I can’t trust, invent a silver lining. Even when I’m home I’m not home, the elements are burning. Even when I’m here I’m not here, hide out when I’m arriving. In the blue light there Even when I sigh I can’t sigh, your jokes could be so clever. Even when I win I can’t win, no feeling lasts forever. Even when we fight we don’t fight, we’re studying the mirror. Even when you’re there you’re not there, what else should I imagine in the blue light there? My mind is not inside me No not that tortured little daydream, Not while the light falls this way and Shadows are still falling softly. My mind it can’t be here inside me It’s locked for away from valleys Away from all the chaparral trees The morning fog and all this bright green. My mind, my mind My mind, my mind My mind, still even then, in the blue light there.
