Cinnamon
01:00
|

|
Walking on the spine of Brothers Grimm
filling up a spoon with cinnamon
The ceiling lights are looking pretty dim
in my spaceship
Following your gentle silhouette
filling up a spoon with sentiment
Play a tune on your old violin
I miss you

Birdhouse

Oh, buddy, you've got the time
But buddy, your time's not mine
What's funny is how it seems
You'd never come off as mean
Oh, buddy, there's something wrong?
But buddy, it's been so long
What's ugly is nothing new
Not something you can't get through
'Cause maybe if you build a better birdhouse,
the shadow on the wall won't freak you out
And maybe if you let it reach the surface,
you wouldn't have to fight to keep it down
And maybe if you weren't always so quiet,
you wouldn't find it hard to make a sound
Maybe if you treat it like a problem,
a remedy would make its way around
Oh, buddy, the blue fell out
Sky severed the sun somehow
But buddy, don't bunker down
It's something to figure out
And it's hard,
knowing how long it takes
But how far
are you willing to go to stay?
'Cause maybe if you build a better birdhouse,
the shadow on the wall won't freak you out
And maybe if you let it reach the surface,
you wouldn't have to fight to keep it down
And maybe if you weren't always so quiet,
you wouldn't find it hard to make a sound
Maybe if you treat it like a problem,
a remedy would make its way around
Maybe if you build a better birdhouse,
you wouldn't be afraid of your hometown
And maybe if you let it reach the surface,
you wouldn't have to fight to keep it down
And maybe if you weren't always so quiet,
you wouldn't find it hard to make a sound
Maybe if you treat it like a problem,
a remedy would make its way around

Doggy
03:08
|

|
Dog sat alone
in the older man's chair,
He ate all the honey
and he didn't share
Dog is the master
of pity applause,
He acts as a catalyst
sharpening claws
I keep repeating
the phrase in my mind:
(what's that?)
"Dog is becoming a
good friend of mine"
(right on!)
I found a cat
in the ally today
Before I said "Hi,"
Doggy scared it away
I can make friends in
the interest of time,
Dog has a friend
but his friend isn't mine
He tags along to
wherever I go,
Dog took a piss
on the Yellow Brick Road
Doggy don't go
Doggy don't go
Doggy don't go
You're all that I know

Idle

Idle idols,
where'd you go?
Nice clothes, eyes closed
I don't know
Fingers linger
in my hair
I'll take memories
over who I am

Holly

|
Flower, are you one with me?
Sunshine, radiate your heat
for me
Finding words are working well
Breathing, only time can tell
Shadow, what more can you do?
I know, I've been aging too
It's new
Travel through the stormy sea
Letters carved into a tree

Ladybug Liar
02:36

I speak unassertive
I can't understand
Ladybug liar, come lay in my hand
This crooked old walkway
keeps knocking me down
Ladybug liar, come lay on the ground
I can't fly with you
but I can't fly alone
no, I can't lie anymore
My arms are uneven
my head's in the sky
Ladybug liar, why'd you make me cry?
Spinning in circles
look up through the trees
Ladybug liar, don't you up and leave
I can't fly with you
but I can't fly alone
no, I can't lie anymore
You speak so assertive
I can't understand
Ladybug liar, come lay in my hand
Teach me to mellow
and help me be still
Ladybug liar, you're teasing my guilt

Rain Song
02:00
|
|||
|
(Stone, stone cold)
Sorrow in the solemn sky
Heavy clouds about to cry
Was it something I said
that turned the sky to grey?
Was it something I said
when I had nothing to say?
(Stone, stone cold)

Toy Submarine
02:42
|
|||
|
Toy submarine, follow my lead
through what's left of me
I'll walk around mud on the ground
and puddles that look too deep
Am I gonna change?
Am I gone?
What grew between my heart and my teeth,
and why can't I intervene?
My socks got all wet and I got upset
and shattered my submarine
I'm not gonna change
but I'm not gone

Fevers
05:07
|
|||
|
I'll carry you
through the rain and mud
if you need me
forever
A patient sky
the yearning in my eye
I could try
whenever
And if you go
before I happen to
I will long for you
forever
You learn to live
and soon you'll learn to love
we could try
together
But if I go
before you happen to
I will wait for you
forever

Ballgame, I guess we lost
Now wrong blame is getting tossed
But we'll get back up again
and I'll be a better friend
Found you looking out
Bound to fall back down
But we'll get back up again
and I'll bandage up your hands
I can't explain it anymore
My eyeline's burned with
the image of before
And it's taking me back
I didn't react
Why couldn't you've followed me home?
