lyrics:

I am not an animal
man
invoked
or flatly uninspired

I am not awake
asleep
breathing 
broke, fixed, elite, or tired

I am not repetitive
kind
caught up
oblivious or wired

I am not sought out
inspected
and I know I am not required

I am not free
caged
collected
alive, held, connected
entwined, sick, injected
and split

and I am not obli*ged
oblivious
or tied to these lines
these lines one bit

lyrics:

Got caught in the rain
and you're shaking, insane
like you'll never dry again

You've got you tied up
closed in, clocked out
wasting time and abstained 
from explaining the place

where you mind gets embraced 
by some kind of disgrace
that you know you don't deserve

Remember the time
you started to tremble
and asked me to pull
the car to the curb?

I remember you were scared that you wouldn't see stars
You let the question drop: "What if life were like locked cars?"
So I said "Break through the hard top."

lyrics:

I know what I'm doing
and I'm sorry to interrupt the meeting
but there is something creeping 
you should see

There is some unidentifiable insect on your knee
which is completely unclean
and by my direction 
you now see

After any initial shock and tantrum 
you might need
to alleviate fear
I would like to take you out for a beer

Is this something you would want to do with me?

I know what I'm doing 
and I hate to ask these questions
again and again
like the meaning is lost somewhere inside them

"You cheated on your exams
but you look so beautiful
I'll pass you anyway
'cause I know you're ok"

You cheated on your exams
but you are so beautiful
They'd pass you either way
'cause they are just that fake

Is this something you would want to know with me?

lyrics:

My home is on my back
time to go, time to leave this place again
and I'll stay strong
still at pace in the face of the end

When all the signs say
"do not go forward"
you pick up your guard and charge

and all as you run
you feel so outdone
and like your soul is at large

Everything is packed
time to go
time to leave this place behind

and you'll be strong
still at pace
in the grace of your design

When all the roads have 
been marked closed-over
just do us a favor and smile

Then all as you run
and under the gun
you'll still have the lungs for the mile

lyrics:

...and believe me
I get
haunted
and overrun

by the nightmare 
that you dream
has your number

but the number one 
is the outlaw
with the quick-draw
and a chamber
for the hired guns

and the people
in the dreamworld
get their last look
at the midnight sun

and believe me
in the dreamworld
you can extract the exact experience

of an earthquake
in the real world
when your hands shake 
with that precise suspense

and come back here
I believe we're getting closer
you can feel the fear

of a people 
and their outlaw
and the outlaw makes their purpose clear

Now that every window's broken
and the walls rise from the grass
and tornadoes carry guns
there can be a midnight sun.

Lyrics:
I’ve climbed up way to far 
yet now I see your city
I reach to touch the stars 
and I need zero pity
I see you standing there
you take a strong stance
the wind collects your hair
you gather my advance

And if this kingdom falls, I will hold you the whole way down
And if this trumpet calls, I will shield you from the sound
And if this kingdom falls, I will show you where your wings are
And if this trumpet calls, I will play you slow guitar

I will the strength back to my legs
And follow you into the trees
You point to flowers in decay
I’ve never seen one such as these

You pick one up and it gains color
and another and another
On the ground they follow through
there’s just no one else like you

You speak from the heart 
and I can’t deserve most
of the words, maybe none, 
for your voice is like art

I see you standing there
you take a strong stance
the wind collects your hair
you gather my advance
We break before the sky
and all the world fades
No baby don’t you cry
I won’t let you be afraid
