I've been working nights and longer shifts
Just to get you out of this
There's no foreseen end to draw a clue
So what else should I do?

Do
What should I do?
Oh, what should I do?

Pack a bowl and head to fishing bridge
Just to get me out my skin
Fill me up to watch me tumble down
It's so much fun to get around

Do
What should I do?
Oh, what should I do?

Fishing Bridge

My mind isn't full but I can make it
You're trying so damn hard not to fake it
I can't focus on your eyes no more
And giving in is too much a chore

Too far into the haze
To really care these days
Surprised you've stuck around
I love the way you sound
When you're calling out the names of all my friends

Oh, I quit trying years ago
I found it feels so right

I quit trying years ago
It feels so...

I Quit Trying Years Ago

Back to gray again
Not sure how to stay
Near the red or blue
The way I felt when I was you

But I know
Time will tell
It's all gonna be okay again 

When I was you
I swore to myself that you were gold
But now I fade behind the shelf
That you never saw coming again

So tell me how to feel
About all the things you put in my head
And tell me how to act
To ensure I'll still be your friend

XO SOS
I've lost sight before
Six bars until you cry
Do your best or try

Six years down the drain
But I still remain
So tell her I said Hi
Support's against the sky

Back to Gray

Take the wheel, my love
I can't see straight
But I wish to inhabit all the atmosphere you give me

Steal the show again
Did you learn last time?
That the world, in fact, revolves around you

Games always start
I couldn't pass go
Bet you wanted your way out of this, I know
Flash it goes
But I'm not around
Oh no, I know you got you got your way from this

I fucked it up again
I can't learn this time
But to pass my days
I'll pretend I'm you
(I'll pretend I'm you)

The homeless needed Jesus
So you built one downtown
How pointless does that sound?

The snow is such a drag
On everyone in town
But no one seems to know that here

So I'll wait
Till you try
To keep it
In line
In line

The colour of your eyes
Should not deplete those in charge
You better count your stars

You sample just one fraction
Of what is true
And you claim it's wrong

So I'll wait
Till you try
To keep it
In line

In line you wait
For the new and shiny thing
But it won't help
At all

The blank face I'm staring down
Is like a pistol with a mouth
And some eyes to gaze right back

So I'll wait
Till you try
To keep it
In line
In line

Nativity (In Line)

Spooking Out The Neighborhood

Dana

I could analyze your eyes
Would I find your careless lies?
I deliberate and surmise sometimes
But I, I think I'll let impulse decide

Fear is the mind killer
Fear gets me where I need to be

Don't drown my bursting ambition
With thoughts of failed ignition
I think that I think too much
I think I'll stop for a while

(Marimba sings us it's own beautiful song in the key of Sam's feelings)

I was unstoppable and tearless
Now I'm brain dead and fearless
I'm colorblind, I think in extremes
Now all I see is red

Fear is the Mind Killer

How I wish that you were here
to keep me on path between my ears
the flashes and the cracks will all run cold
because I'll still love your greens and golds

what will it take to step outside and scream that you're in overdrive?
Once more, I don't know where you're going
Us and them? it's us then I
and I don't need no alibi
for once I can see where we're going
where we're going

Grow my vines and tell me lines again
and when we're done having fun we'll send
some postcards or a letter to the men
stating that we will be back again
to find the lies
and compromise
the way we see ourselves
the way we see ourselves
as glass and rings
we aint these things
let's value all ourselves
let's value all ourselves 

(trees will stay
'cause Ivy will stay
and Scarlett will stay)

Trees (Demo)

I can't read minds
but sometimes I try
and although you're in love with Pierre
I guess I'll just sit right here
'cause the concrete feels fine
up and down my spine
but I'll get my chance to shine

So take your time
and I'll sit in line
to hope you're reminded
until our silent decline

Kick me I wanna feel that boot
slam square into my jaw
corrode the waste from my face
and replace it with his grace 
and give me all your old plates, my friends

purloin my mind
but you seemed so kind
you'll miss outright
my audible incline

strange room bender sessions

Pierre (Demo)

Cast off
Take root
Proclaim it from your roof
If you'd quit with such the fuss above my bed
Maybe I'd be off in Lyra breaking bread
Not worried about the breaks I've yet to get
For trading in the 'tross

Sail on
Breathe calm
'Cuz gambling's just a game
But the sheriff here still remembers your face
So why'd you have to render this a race?

Did you escape from the jail cell?
Did you escape from your own hell?
"The films all made the dreams look good
So I struck out on Hollywood 
And tripped across the bridge into the bay."

Just as we expect, he's inept.

Sheep song plays long
Machine attempts the blues
But the merit's the next jukebox tune's on you
Can the visionary awake inside of you?

Did you escape from the coastline?
Take advice from your own mind?
"I found out quick the dream does die
But all the while I felt so high
I chased the 'tross into the sky
To find out where my change resides,
and all the while it's lost on all of you.

It's lost on all of you.

But had it gone some other way
I might not be here to this day
That's why I've such admired all of you."
