Tin Angel 03:23
you lay in blss as the record skips and your silence, it speaks volumes to me paint you to life now i'm holing the light now i promise myself (there's lightning in the cellar) on the hour-and-six i make my trip downstairs yeah, i slip down there to bring you up to speed i'll make you just like me, oh i promise myself (you know i know whats good for you) i promise myself this will be the last time i fuck with magic but now I'm ready i took my girl out for a ride with the top rolled down like in 1939 my favorite dancer here with me a passenger now buckled to my dreams then she smiled ear to ear and that song came on that we both needed to here and when that engine finally died we laced our boots and hiked to paradise i promise myself this will be the last time i fuck with magic but now I'm ready

No One's Air 04:13
in case you hit the breaks i made this song you can shake off your mistakes while it's on the bass will now replace your crazy thoughts take this and embrace that you're not alone i got people who care whether i live or i die i don't breathe no one's air that's not mine i got people who share with me like most of the time if i told you it was fair i'd be lying erase this if it changes just because if it's jaded, if it's fake if it's all been done well then it's safe to say the stakes are high enough and then it basically negates itself it makes it wrong i got people who care whether i live or i die i don't breathe no one's air that's not mine i got people who share with me like most of the time if i told you it was fair i'd be lying

I'm Afraid 04:59
i've been waiting out this storm for days and days just pacing and laughing in the cold hard rain but if i could imagine what its like to need a name tie my memory to the forest light it all on display wait for now at the water's edge you never came now i'm afraid and i know that you will always be american and clean till the sky brings you back westward on a train called wind and sea you're lovely darling, dont you know it but you never say a thing wait for now at the water's edge you never came now i'm afraid

Returner 04:38
i once knew a girl who lived in the future never more than friends but i was happy i knew her due to all the things that i had learned through her to her i was just a super nice guy i never made her cry how could i, hiding at the side lines? i... was just another steady to... climb she said, "remember that night i got so tiny and i crawled into your mind? i walked around your body and arrived at a surprise." she said, "i thought it would be easy, but your heart was hard to find. i assumed it would be enormous but it was of normal size. i didnt mind, no nah i was alright. i realized, though, it was your pride that i had liked." the scene started fading it was the end of the show the front door was open when it went out the straight out the window i picked her up not with a car, but in my arms safely relocating up and out of harms way and even though i went so far the wrong way she was alarmingly greatful just to have a guardian angel of sorts but i was busy equating the difference i made so i missed the only chance i had to say "oh... yeah... you're welcome... you clearly mean a lot to me' "oh wait, where are you going" she said, "i'm sorry, but now i have to go home. i'd like you to come with me, but its not for the faint of heart. it's time you face the future on your own." only you can control what hasn't happened yet but you can't escape fate in retrospect

the two stood through a lucid youth that took the lives of all they knew they faced a current, and waded through then they fell in love nah, that's not true if all else fails, i'll live for you they're on our trail and he's on it, too it's heads or tails for the next excuse though, no one cares, and i'm living proof if we need to get out, oh we'll find a chariot to get us out of it, again and if it isn't allowed we'll make a point of it to just stay poisonous light-skinned orphan making potions from a cauldron that's always scalding hot enough is enough yeah you're always in love if we need to get out, oh we'll find a chariot to get us out of it, again and if it isn't allowed we'll make a point of it to just stay poisonous

i hear there is a lake hidden in this dry town somewhere past the row of houses not a private beach, not quite a reservoir though its not off limits still cant get in a few of us from the city came looking for it stumbling through backyards we might've toppled a fence or two we left a trail of modern art warmer, warmer, we're getting warmer going back in time is probably not an option we aren't there yet no point in stopping this shit is risk reward so lets just risk some more i'm peeling layers of skin off at this rate this face isn't mine and still i'm starting to hate it so wheres the fucking lake, man? wheres the fucking lake? where's the fucking lake? i figured you were into this sort of thing my wrists are ball joints and my hands start to spin warmer, warmer, we're getting warmer i think we're almost there
