Dead Birds 02:36
I remember another time We were present if not flawed Our presents piling up out in the yard Ain't we lucky for all our limbs Even if three are working hard Was it hard to be the anchored one It's that same mess That we're borne of I'm so bored of Dead birds But maybe we're free and we built it Whatever that means to you When you're all alone in the living room What else would we do But wait for another window to close Wait I don't know where everyone else goes but hey We're still around Maybe you were a gun And I was the rounds Or maybe we're the sum of smaller sounds And we keep getting louder No one's any prouder of me and my dead birds But maybe we're free and we built it Whatever that means to you When you're all alone in the living room What else would we do But wait for another window to close I don't know where everyone else goes but hey You were a gun

Siren Sound 02:44
I thought about how much I’m gonna miss it here It started on the first day back And I let it ruin my year again You can sleep all day And wake up with no regrets I’d like to be that way But my dreams are desolate And now I know Not to be caught around All the places I used to haunt in this town But I’ll take you out if you feel You need to get around As I’m breaking down If you’d walk a mile in my shoes I’d go barefoot beside you up the Parkside hill You could have one of those exciting lives That you dream about from the window sill Like the kind I tried to fetch so hard Just to bury it in the backyard And when the sun goes down And it can’t be found I’ll be on the floor With my head under the bed And I’ll think about how much I’ll never have to miss it here again No one’s gonna ask what I’ve become Where I’ve been or what happened And I’ll go and make my siren sound In the places I love to haunt in this town You can take me out if you feel You need to get around Just take me now

Living Boy 03:47
I was the living boy And some god who waits for nothing came And made a noise That shook the walls we live in Remember screaming as existence Remember marveling at indifference Old friend were we wrong Maybe it was nothing Maybe it's some noble need For something more like free But right now it seems like nothing So I was the living boy The tether’s barely gripping Was it warmer there Out in the Bat City Or did the Pacific pacify your yearning We lost a limb before the vernal season ceased to shine The sound that came to call us came in It sounded weak and thin Dangerously dim And I know you're listening So where do we go when it's gone We've been here so long Am I free from the fear of joy I am the living boy I'm bound to nothing I was the living boy To the sound we made so sweetly breaking Rumbling and deep and I don't ever sleep Like New York in a bad dream but maybe When your turn came To deliver the words That we don't need you around The faintest scream And the loudest whispering When he needs us the most So where do we go when it's gone We've been here so long Am I free from the fear of joy I am the living boy I'm bound to nothing

Town Of Cats 01:29
I heard something human In the steps you took when they took to me Thinning the bold line Between who I am and I mean to be We move in pantomime In an unordinary time And the moons aligned And you were mine And I think I'm coming loose again You can tell your friends It might be the wrong time But what if you'd had a change in mind Maybe in due time We find all that we've left behind Are you still a friend of mine In an unordinary time It was cold at night and dark We were waiting for some kind of sign In an unordinary time And the moons aligned And you were mine And I think I'm coming loose again You can tell your friends It's gonna be a long time

Still Awake 02:50
With the sun beating down on the back of my neck I walk toward the lake and I wish I were dead The house on the far shore has been calling to me like a dream Since I’ve been awake And I’m sick to my stomach just being here It always takes more from me this time of year The days will get shorter The nights will get darker But I’m still awake And the water feels cold so I’m inching in The breeze is so sharp that it’s piercing my skin My head will go under as it starts to wonder If I’m still awake And I blow every chance that I take And I sleep on the choices I’ve already made The doubt in my mind Assures me I’ve wasted your time And my sister left home that night And we speak about it every time that we fight And I know it’s not right if I say That I slept through the pain in those days Because I was still awake And I blow every chance that I take And I sleep on the choices I’ve already made

A Slow Blip 00:44
[Instrumental]
7.
A frightened boy counts time to a slow blip Each takes longer than the diagnosis You shuddered to a touch I noticed And your piano's out of tune now Clumsy fingers attempt to evoke you Like stupid hands will fail to do Dissonance fills the room It's my MO When she says I want to go to heaven But it moves too slow The quiet fear's never how I envisioned this It's so stiff in here I can't stand it It's such a drag to vanish Your only son won't hear from your siblings anytime soon When prideful anger sears through every root His eyes reach out and theirs appear removed Dissonance fills the room It's my MO When she says I want to go to heaven What if heaven says no So I fought for your piano Because I remember you back then Play that one again He likes it And you're not like them You asked me how I liked this world I'd discovered I never heard that again It's my MO When she says I want to go to heaven But it moves too slow The moment comes I feel indifferent They said you were best after a drink I want to go to heaven What if heaven says no
8.
He was born to be the king of shame Long before his teeth were stained By coffee and contrived truths That passed and played The theoretical rhetoric and the blame Took aim at you Do they grab you In a gentle refrain Post the crisis campaign Maybe his love is scorn Or therein lies the problem He was born And what'd he do that for It's a long way down When logic seeds the ground Maybe the money's gone And the plans changed Or the few that followed have flown away You can beg him not to beg you to stay Like in the old days But you've gone further now Further now than fault fell From the frame he fails in Feeling sorry But wait Do tears still follow you No matter where you lay In a world where babies are bastards too No one's safe From the choices that he made To remain the king of shame And therein lies the problem He was born
9.
This is no way to spend these years You stand up straight and smile But I see you fighting back your tears And now I fear The day I want those pills that you clutch Aren’t you sick of answering not much How long can you stay silent my friend People wanna hear your voice again But not them They don’t care about you anyway You’ve gotta get away Not them They were waiting for you to fuck it up Not them They never cared about you anyway So just be on your way Not them They were waiting for you Baiting for you If this is no place to spend these years Then why am I still here Check my bags I’ll be back next year It’s a collision course without an impact Time flies when you’re having no fun You called it a quest but you’ve given up You know you’ve been doing this so long You don’t need that lens to see yourself in me So are we doing something wrong How long can you stay silent my friend People wanna hear your voice again But not them They don’t care about you anyway You’ve gotta get away Not them They were waiting for you to fuck it up Not them They never cared about you anyway So just be on your way Not them They were waiting for you Baiting for you Thirty five years between us But we both landed here Do we call this stop a destination The answer isn’t clear You ring on Monday morning While Friday night is still ringing in my ears You could scream but it would never get to them I’m the only one that hears And I see you fighting back your tears
10.
94 feet Not all that far But memory recalls a voice The call asked how I got there You tell me It seemed I had no choice When I returned to Detroit at 23 On precipice of precious pride I tried to do it right and honestly When malice came I stood aside Now they call it a minor deal I had a family But they're all gone now Are they home and happy It's a minor deal Let the wolves surround me And they'll say be a man about it But what will they all do Will our hands find a place to meet if I fall And reach for you Will I walk on a wavering wire Don't they remember me Motor City '03 Do you see me as I meant to be Because we met young Before worlds were ending And I wouldn't want another You said you want to be a mother We had a baby boy A little prince My palaces start to divide And they both would cry for me And so it seems As one sound grows another dies Now they call it a minor deal I was blue forgive me I'm going up north Tell my wife and family It's a minor deal Let the wolves surround me And they'll say be a man about it But what will they all do Will our hands find a place to meet if I fall And reach for you Will I walk on a wavering wire Don't they remember me Motor City '03

The Moon 03:17
Maybe it’s something about the waves That push us together in this way When there’s an ocean in between And I know we have never seen one another’s face And there are some things That I never thought I’d hear you say You’ve come so far You’re getting better every day And maybe it’s something in the sky That shortens the distance If only in my mind Like how the moon pulls on the sea I can feel you pulling me from the other side And it’s real enough for me But I can’t tell if we are lost in dreams Or up in outer space It gets dark and we lose gravity So we just run in place But don’t start feeling like you’ve lost your legs We’re keeping our own pace We’re getting better I fucking know it We’re getting better There are some things I never thought I would say I get so close to saying them every day There are some things That I never thought I’d hear you say You’ve come so far You’re getting better every day
