Transient 03:46
lyrics
buy track
Something sleeping in your eyes Is an arson And I’m a moth Succumb Overwhelmed by flames I succumb Midnight On the bridge again And I’m sinking like a stone Forever Into the black And nether Never really there Always in between Transient Never really there Always in between Transient Three A.M. In Emergency Drowning in a sea of faces Under Can’t catch my breath I go under Never really there Always in between Transient Never really there Always in between Transient Daybreak downtown Sleeping on the bus I didn’t miss my stop I’m never getting off

Beautiful 02:42
lyrics
buy track
She must be beautiful She scatters on the breeze While something terrible Lives ages in concrete She must be beautiful I watched Her as She died Emptiness is everywhere And needs nowhere to hide Shining in the Shaman She lives on from inside And all the strange mutations Can’t reach Her where She abides I’d sing Her eulogy If I only knew Her name So I’ll stand here in silence By the crackling of the flames But is that Her light I see Like a candle flickering As the darkness patiently Lies waiting in the wings Shining in the Brahman She lives on from inside And all the strange mutations Can’t reach Her where She abides

Telephoned Ahead 02:58
lyrics

I’ve been saving up Putting change away Counting all my eggs For a rainy day I’ve been here so long I forgot my name Telephoned ahead But you never came I’ve been saving up But the stores are closed I should just get out Go to see some shows I’ve been here so long I forgot my name Telephoned ahead But you never came I’ve been saving up Little more each day I may have enough But it’s hard to say I’ve been here so long I forgot my name Telephoned ahead But you never came I’ve been saving up Since the edge of time How much it will cost Just to make you mine I’ve been here so long To give you my name Telephone is dead And your numbers changed

Heaven 03:22
lyrics

When we were in Heaven We crashed our cars repeatedly We died ten thousand times a day We gathered up starlight From every galaxy To make one drop of paint Your feet would never Touch the floor My hand would pass Right through the door And we would slowly slip away When we were in Heaven We crashed our cars repeatedly We died ten thousand times a day Your feet would never Touch the floor My hand would pass Right through the door And we would slowly slip away When we were in Heaven I found myself alone again You were never there Just memories of pain

The lawyer threw the bum a dime So methodical So mechanical Nothing personal The doctor called the time of death So methodical So mechanical Nothing personal The layoffs came through office mail So methodical So mechanical Nothing personal The President signed the Act of War So methodical So mechanical Nothing personal

Ashes 02:26

Sunshine Moving In straight lines From outside of time Pinpricks In the sky Oblivious To you and I And everything Shining Alive alive Inside Sunshine Sets the fire You and I Tinder For the pyre Ashes Ashes Carried into the night Our little lives Satellites Ashes moving On solar winds To outside of time Grey specks In the sky Oblivious

Dream 03:02
lyrics

Resting in the deepest blackest sea Known only to me A time machine slumbers It came to me first in a fevered dream A worrisome scene All measures and numbers So I set my sights upon the farthest star But wandered too far To the undying races Where the ancient ones all looked so sad And some had gone mad You could see on their faces Then in the way that glass becomes sand And sea becomes land And all the brightly colored birds Are swallowed back into lizards I sank the machine Back in the black ocean Emotionless and broken I saw a light before I awakened Or am I mistaken and is this the dream I saw a light before I awakened Or am I mistaken and is this the dream I saw a light before I awakened Or am I mistaken and is this the dream I saw a light before I awakened Or am I mistaken and is this the dream

I don’t know why I feel this way I get weighed down I feel estranged And nothing seems To look the same I’m sinking in The world has changed A stranger man I have not met If it isn’t me It just might be yet All my love For grief exchanged Completely drained I feel estranged I don’t know why I feel this way I get weighed down I feel estranged And nothing seems To look the same I’m sinking in The world has changed A stranger man I have not met If it isn’t me It just might be yet All my love For grief exchanged Completely drained I feel estranged I don’t know why I feel this way I get weighed down I feel estranged And nothing seems To look the same I’m sinking in The world has changed

Pillhead 01:00

It’s too early to be sleeping No surprise that I am stoned I can feel the pillhead creeping Slowly seeping through my bones The same that makes me feel unsteady The very same that keeps me sane It always hits when I'm unready Growing heady in my brain

Oh baby you know how I feel for you Oh baby I know that you feel it too Girl come closer I ain’t gonna bite your hand You can be with me ‘till the bitter end No one ever told you where to go Stick with me girl and I’ll show you more I promised myself I’d never sing the blues Girl you got me singing them for you Oh baby you know how I feel for you Oh baby I know that you feel it too I promised myself I’d never sing the blues
