I Want 04:43
I want to live in a flower riddled valley Where my feet are invisible Under liquid smooth greens That's where you'll find me I want to feel oceans, not water on my flesh I want to be me laughing and I can't breathe That's where you'll find me I carry brown eyes in my pocket Sun colored daisies on my face and I can't wait I'm licking snow chewing mountains Not afraid and I can't wait I've got a bicycle and I'm flying I've got a bicycle and I'm flying I want air breathing sweet and clear through my lips I want to kiss you and feel my toes curled and coiling Curled and coiling I want to sing hums out my soul That's where they live That's where you'll find them That's where you'll find me I carry brown eyes in my pocket Sun colored daisies on my face and I can't wait I'm licking snow chewing mountains Not afraid and I can't wait I've got a bicycle and I'm flying I've got a bicycle and I'm flying I'm flying (x4) I carry brown eyes in my pocket Sun colored daisies on my face and I can't wait I'm licking snow chewing mountains Not afraid and I can't wait

Dark Delilah 03:45
Dark Delilah Playing checkers against herself Picking up the phone, when nobody's home Just to say hello Listens to the radio as background sound to drown out the empty ground, the empty ground around Dark Delilah The wind it whispers quiet pleas To come play outside To come and play with the trees The sun it shines straight for her eyes Her eyes Dark Delilah just stays alone inside A head filled With imaginary images, she's never seen Too crippled by the colors so bright inside her mind to need anything her eyes could really see She's anything but empty Anything but empty Dark Delilah The wind it whispers quiet pleas To come play outside To come and play with the trees The sun it shines straight for her eyes Her eyes Dark Delilah just stays alone inside The wind it whispers quiet pleas To come play outside To come and play with the trees The sun it shines straight for her eyes Her eyes Dark Delilah just stays alone inside Everyone who watches, watches confused So caught up in watching a girl who needs no one she seems to need no one Dark Delilah

Clouds sit atop my body The birds just above my eyes My friends ask when I'll be moving But I just stay here and lie 'Cause I like to be a little lonely When my head is filled with mess Thoughts travel up with nature Empty, I become a creature of the rest Am I different from the others Am I strange among them all Why do you all stay together While I just lose my hold and fall 'Cause I like to be a little lonely When my head is filled with mess Thoughts travel up with nature Empty, I become a creature of the rest I refuse to be small And I swore I'd be brave So I stay far away From all that I crave And I hold myself right As I lie through the days And my friends go away Alone here I remain 'Cause I like to be a little lonely When my head is filled with mess I like to be a little lonely When my head is filled with mess I like to be a little lonely When my head is filled with mess I like to be a little lonely When my head is filled with mess Thoughts travel up with nature Empty, I become a creature of the rest Thoughts travel up with nature Empty, I become a creature of the rest

Pebble 03:54
Pebbles Fighting for space among rocks That sit like kings atop ground Dueling each day For space and comfort Crowded by the crowned Were we born this way Grayer than those bigger than Can we fill the same space Or is it a waste to reach out my hand Were we born this way Grayer than those bigger than Can we fill the same space Or is it a waste to reach out my hand Barred behind Chains I’ve created Barred behind Walls I’ve pretended Barred inside A mind I’ve suspended Barred inside A life unattended A pebble is just a rock I’ve invented Were we born this way Grayer than those bigger than Can we fill the same space Or is it a waste to reach out my hand Were we born this way Grayer than those bigger than Can we fill the same space Or is it a waste to reach out my hand Pebbles Slinking through space among rocks That stand tall atop ground Dueling away Wasting their days Intimidated by doubt Barred behind Chains I’ve created Barred behind Walls I’ve pretended Barred inside A mind I’ve suspended Barred inside A life unattended A pebble is just a rock I’ve invented

Take the bucket off your scalp You're filled with trash It's creeping out the bottom You're taunting me, taunting me, taunting me now but I see it Cut outs for my eyes I'm crying now Can't you see the ground Cut outs for my eyes Drains are flooding now Can't you see the ground Plastic's bright blue You're toned white, I see you Stuck Can't cover color up I'm rampant, I'm uncontrolled Can't hold me in I'm a maniac drowning You're taunting me, taunting me, taunting me now but I see it Cut outs for my eyes I'm crying now Can't you see the ground Cut outs for my eyes Drains are flooding now Can't you see the ground Plastic's bright blue You're toned white, I see you Stuck Can't cover color up Plastic's bright blue You're toned white, I see you Stuck Can't cover color up Buckets don't float Buckets don't stay afloat Buckets don't float You're taunting me so But I know that they don't float Plastic's bright blue You're toned white, I see you Stuck Can't cover color up Plastic's bright blue You're toned white, I see you Stuck Can't cover color up
