Where the Weeds Don't Grow

Blameless

Two Halves

Destiny and Doom

Neptune

Mind Like a Sitting Duck

Time Is Slipping Away

It Could Be Better

White Lightning

Lyrics:

Maybe I'm a swollen cloud
Holding all this rain, but it won't come out
Holding all this rain, rain, rain
Holding all this rain, rain, rain
Maybe I'm the rain instead
Freefalling full steam ahead
I'm the ice that never melts
Maybe I'm a mirror on the shelf

Cornucopia's mouth opened up
Its blessings overflowing my thankless cup
So gimme gimme gimme gimme
More more more
Gimme gimme
More more more

Squandered generosity
I take it, and I bury it so deep
Selfish in my lack of reciprocity
All for me
All for me
All for me

Maybe I'm the shifting tide
Never satisfied
But changing
Still changing

I know it's late
But let's share a plate
Together

(Cornucopia)

Cornucopia for two
Cornucopia for two

Cornucopia's mouth opened wide
It's blessings spilling out of its insides
There's plenty to go around
There's plenty to go around

Lyrics:

Poor little thought
It can't get across
It can't jump the wall between me and you

Do I know what I want to say?
Do I know what I want to say? (i don't)
Do I know what I want to say?
Do I even know what I want to say?

Could you throw me a rope?
Pull me in, pull me in, pull me in
Pull me in so close
Just not
Too close
Porcupine tongue
A silent gun
Still these quills can stun
But what is new?

Worries hurry down the drain
Still some bits remain
Red flash, puff of smoke
It was there, now it's gone again
Fear comes, and fear goes
But the waitlist never ends
Could you open me up?
Take a look, sink your hook
See what lies, see what lies within
Be my
Surgeon

Do you know what I mean?
Mind reader, soul seer
Queen bee of telepathy
Be my
Pipe dream

Lyrics:

Figure fluorescent
Heart incandescent
Spare me a second
I'm still on the stairs
We're gonna make it there
In time
Time is playing tricks on us
I caught this motion sickness

Don't feel defeated
You're overheating

Caught in the glow of it
There's no letting go
Operation overload
Flawed in the flow of it
Some things you can't control
Looming buffer overflow

Take the bait
See my pupils dilate
As I turn around
Take a step
Let my system reset
Now we're counting down

Then I'm on the phone
Guess who's calling who?
Then I'm on the road
Guess who follows you?
 
Time is playing tricks on us
Time is playing tricks on us

Caught in the glow of it
There's no letting go
Operation overload
Flawed in the flow of it
Some things you can't control
Looming buffer overflow

Caught in the glow of it
Blinded by "the one"
Operation zero sum
Operation zero sum

Lyrics:

Lives combined
Like vines intertwined
They keep twisting and stretching
Life redesigned, redefined

Freedom leaves
The room on its leash
But it's safe in the hands
Of some fond company

And it’s new, new
New for us both
And it's you, you
You I need most

Lives combined
Intertwined
Two souls as one
At the starting line
Yours and mine
And plenty of time

Meet me where the rivers join
And currents don't compete
And currents don't compete

Lives combined
Intertwined
Two souls as one
At the starting line
Yours and mine
And plenty of time

Meet me where the rivers join
And currents don't compete
And currents don't compete

And it’s new, new
New for us both
And it's you, you
You I need most most

Lyrics:

Little handprints in the wet cement
Leaving our tracks so we don't forget
Precious little light
Trailing right behind
Softened by the memory's might
Glowing in the dead of night

Dandelion days
They grow old and blow away
They grow old and blow away
But I lay on the grass
Between future and the past
Between future and the past

Ooo-oo-ooo
Ooo-oo-ooo

Hindsight's sure a pretty view
Knowing we surely made it through
We made it through
We made it though, we made it through, we made it through
Floating little isle
Stuck in time
Polished by the memory's might
Drowning in its sunlight

Dandelion dreams
Spreading all their little seeds
Spreading all their little seeds
And I speak to the wind
It says they will grow again
It says they will grow again

But I lay on the grass
Between future and the past
Between future and the past

Lyrics:

Hurry to the ship
And make it fast
Climb the hanging rope
And don't look back
Take the leap of
Faith in someone else
It's you and them
Or you all by yourself

Past life dissolving
On a stream
Tapped into the feed
Eyes, don't deceive me 
Now we wonder if
We'll acclimate
What's an afterlife
But an escape

I guess I need to make a friend now
Look a stranger in the eyes and say hi now
I don't know how long we've got
Only as long as a dream allots
Hello, goodbye
Hello, goodbye

Are we
Sad or relieved?
I can't tell a thing
Are we
Sharing a dream?
Are we
Man or machine?
Are we ever free?

Don't look back
Don't look back
Don't look back
Don't look back

Lyrics:

On the train, it's left the station
All aboard the simulation

Welcome to the age of conformity
Manufactured taste of reality
Bow to the new universal creed
Bleed for the blood oath
Let it bleed, bleed

Beautiful art, yeah we all agree
Intuitive truth, no double speak
Yellow brick road to eternity
Paved so nice for a fool like me, me

Shaking in the cold with a cigarette
Now I’m playing my part in the minuet
I’m playing my part
I’m playing my part

(I’m not scared. I’m happy.)

Thirty-one times one’s thirty-one
Prime number with a gun
It’s begun
Rugged ideas on the run, run
There’s another one
Here’s another one
Idiosyncratic, daily automatic
Quiet in the den
Loud in the attic
I can do a dance my own way
I could be an alien at this rate
Oh how swell we dwell
On this carousel
I'm not scared
I'm just happy
To be simulating with the other simulations
To be feeling all these wonderful sensations

Here they come now, run
Thirsty for our blood
Conform, conform, conform, conform

(All aboard)

Lyrics:
Gonna misbehave
Gonna be okay
Gonna make my own paradise today
Put all my stress on ice
Gonna have my own private paradise

These makeshift fireworks are showing through the fog
They're showing through the fog
And all my cells unfold, the rebel in me screams
The rebel in me screams

A concentrated, percolated feeling of harmony
Passing through my body
I shed this mortal flesh and venture on a quest
A quest I must accept

My own paradise
My own paradise

Broken spell
Feel the moment swell
And envelop you
Unfamiliar yet true
Neon sea filled
With friendly things
You're in paradise
Paradise

Hold it, hold it, don't lose it
Hold it, hold it, don't lose it
Hold it, hold it, don't lose it
Hold it, hold it, don't lose it

An activated, saturated feeling of ecstasy
Growing inside of me
I leave this weathered flesh and venture on a quest
A quest I won't regret

My own paradise
My own paradise

My Own Paradise

Made for Adult Swim's show Off the Air (episode NEWNOW):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbCZ8BrdrOY

i looked past the smoke
and i found all your mirrors there
can you find a new way with me?

i burned all the trees down
now i'll get used to all this sun
won't you start the new day with me?

close my eyes for tomorrow
closed my eyes just to close them
knocking at the door again

what's it like there, tomorrow?
how's it going there, tomorrow?
what's it like over there, tomorrow?

is this a start?
or just another celebration?
looping on the same track
waiting for a new mutation
waiting for a new mutation
waiting on the next mutation
knocking at the door again

what's it like there, tomorrow?
how's it going there, tomorrow?
what's it like over there, tomorrow?
