ubiquity is your superpower spin out in all directions in the tenth dimension we are all data now and I feel so fragmented something's got to give we're going nowhere come along on a machine gun adventure three cheers for me and euterpe was told I might find her in the empire state she replaced my first name with my middle name once there was heaven now there's just me beware the shapeshifters they take on many forms shaking out the old ghosts in my machine making room for the new king and queen here today, tomorrow gone I reach out and make connections in the tenth dimension they cut you down at the knees but hey, the end is near! and you might be the one for me you might be the one for me hell, I might be the one

Stately Girl 04:20
I got a letter from a stately girl she used words like presumptuousness, telepathically, reincarnation, alabaster how could I resist? I wrote a treatise on her information hoping to illustrate the limitations I see what you see but I'm not sold a different cause a louder scene another word a clever screen to colonize me put your money where your language is be the light that nothing will possess cast your spells, speak in tongues walk light and breath right with your guns I see what you see but I'm not sold love is an automatic weapon for your so-called soul

Hello 03:56
we drank from a lion's head we shot down the Japanese we were conductors then you are not there there isn't tomorrow time is not a thing I can trust I climbed out on the wing and dangled hello and in the end there will be a beginning give my regards to the rest of that shit me and me will still be here traveling through the lingering nonsense you are not here there isn't tomorrow and time is not a thing I can use I climbed out on the wing and dangled hello

Marbles 04:23
me wearing this face like a shield to fend off this feminine voice and falsehoods I salivate to silver bells and churches hey who do you think you are? your disfigured protestant dream left me stranded with empty pockets this transition could take a while floating through nothing turning on lights leaving my marbles behind me shouting at fluorescent dead unwrapping every word you said sleep still in my eyes it came as no surprise when it left hey go ahead and beat your drum go ahead and shine the sun this transition could take a while floating through nothing turning on lights leaving my marbles behind there's no way to escape it if I want it I need to create it

Mama Sparrow 03:34
heavy on the heart one you can't harden strife is the blood inside her easy on the mind open a window and listen, listen to the sound she makes born to a soldier minds full of smoke, heroin, and rape and t.v. it hangs on her now and on the men she responds to the promise of someplace she'll feel better she'll feel better she falls like a sparrow 'neath the eyes of her savior alone, and hungry and flightless she remembers the warmth of our place in the mountains of the river, and laughter she sings, "son won't you take me in? babe won't you rescue me now? why won't you undo this hurt? I'm flickering out."

I Give Up 03:31
I never knew that my foolish words could cut so deep then again, was I asking too much? I never thought I'd be doing this on my own it goes to show anything can happen at all all the times you asked me for forgiveness all the doors that you shut on your way out even then I could hear you asking 'bout us my response at the time was I give up I'm getting tired of always living inside my head you should know, you've been up there for years I'm getting numb to all the feelings I knew so well I'm like a child startled by his own tears all the times you asked me for forgiveness all the doors that you shut on your way out even then i could hear you asking 'bout us my response at the time was I give up time stand still and let me try to patch up this black hole of a life 'cause I can't let things stay the same with neither one to blame and I can't take this pain so I just let it go
7.
sometimes I think you're just a voice inside my head I want to be in love again let me taste you I'm finished chasing take some chances, break some hearts, you'll grow to understand all around the water rises for silly eyes I'll compromise my blood sweat tears when you gonna wake up? when you gonna come back down? when you gonna shape up? when we gonna paint the town black and white? she has the pirate eyes I like my magazines she is a superstar burning up eventually and it's all the same it's all the same to me

Gatekeeper 03:43
everybody knows it nobody talks keep an eye on your motions and one on the clocks it was always right here it was always right here the new saints have rallied to watch you go clear with a wink and a nod I send you off I will protect it I will project you were always on my right I was always too uptight the new saints have rallied it's time to take
9.
when I look back on all the wrong turns that I took I never realized every moment I held on too tight caused me pain now I must let it go because I got nothing left to hide and you won't be here by my side all I want is to leave it behind make a new start with a peaceful heart heavy burdens weighing me down from the start fighting to get up how can you fight when your worst enemy is yourself? set to do you in because I got nothing left to hide and you won't be here by my side all I want is to leave it behind make a new start with a peaceful heart
