Aardvarks -Intro: Keep your eyes to the stars And your ear to the radio You’ve got to get your kicks however you can When fighting against this life on loan Temperatures rise It’s just a fact of life You already know Half of the time  It’s hard to tell where our intentions lie Could they be deep inside All burrowed low Heroes stay grounded While the beasts can roam Every single step Marking their new home Those that do no wrong Do not run But what about you and me? When the dollar scratchers have all run empty And the aardvarks The aardvarks all walk free

Perpetual Slip: Verse 1 Perpetual slip A fall and a trip And you were gone away If you’d settled the score By strumming a chord Then you’d’ve gone away now Who stole your life in the sun In a quest for the Great Rebirth And now you just sit up there and wander Off the face of the earth But did you ever really walk it anyway? Chorus Fall off the face of the earth Let the fabric slip away Fall off the face of the earth When you fall out of line Is when you fall out of mind So were you tripped or were you thrown? To where the sky will catch your bones Fall off the face of the earth When you fall out of line You fall out of mind Verse 2 All the parts that you left here are All hooked to machines Removing ghosts from your mirrors now, baby You gotta keep ‘em looking clean You thought your kings would have sold for more More than they’re worth One snap decision To fall off of the earth But you never really walked it anyway Chorus Fall off the face of the earth Let the fabric slip away Fall off the face of the earth When you fall out of line Is when you fall out of mind So were you tripped or were you thrown? To where the sky will catch  your bones Fall off the face of the earth When you fall out of line You fall out of mind Chorus Fall off the face of the earth Let the fabric slip away Fall off the face of the earth When you fall out of line Is when you fall out of mind So were you tripped or were you thrown? To where the sky will catch  your bones Fall off the face of the earth When you fall out of line  You fall out of mind

Anhedonia (I‘m Not In Love): Verse 1 My heart’s in my middle And it pumps blood in between ads for dinero  And a shotgun wedding machine And you’re the shotgun wedding queen I know you can’t stand it I pump blood that just ain’t clean A landlocked bandit And I’ll take down anybody Said I’ll take down anybody With or without my sealegs Pre-Chorus But oh No Woah No This love we have is just a mirage It’s lust disguised in ovarian camouflage I ain’t got faith in the stars above Cause I can’t be yours And this just can’t be love Chorus Woah This can’t be love No No Woah This can’t be love Cuz I’m not in love This isn’t real love I’m not in love with you Post-Chorus This isn’t really love This isn’t really love This isn’t really love Verse 2 Falling in love is like Falling down a flight of stairs That’s not something I want to share, it’s true And I ain’t gonna share it with you Cuz there’s sharks and there’s minnows And I’m a shark, baby Won’t swim in circles And I’ll take down anybody Said I’ll take down anybody Pre-Chorus But oh No Woah No This love we have is just a mirage It’s lust disguised in ovarian camouflage I ain’t got faith in the stars above Cause I can’t be yours And this just can’t be No this just can’t be love Chorus Woah This can’t be love No No Woah This can’t be love Cuz I’m not in love This isn’t real love I’m not in love with you Post-Chorus This isn’t really love This isn’t really love This isn’t really love Outro Say what you want but don’t forget I’ll rip you off like nicorette Say what you want but don’t forget I’ll rip you off like nicorette Say what you want but don’t forget I’ll rip you off like nicorette Say what you want but don’t forget I’ll rip you off like nicorette Say what you want but don’t forget I’ll rip you off like nicorette Say what you want but don’t forget I’ll rip you off like nicorette Yeah yeah!

The Fever Age: Verse 1 I am the self-fulfilling prophecy That you hold in too tight Cause everybody’s got something that’s waiting to be seen Is it drawn to the light? Is it drawn to the light... Verse 2 Out where the Ambien Animatronics All come out to march Is where we play circle-the-drain Or an existence that’s pencilled in ash To me it’s all the same To me it’s all the same . . . Interlude Charlie hears the angels sing He cuts his teeth in marketing It’s all for sale Yes it’s all for sale It’s all for sale Yes it’s all for sale The runners will stay in shape The legless one will just shake their chains Again Interlude Bitter Alice lives her life With a heart on hold She won’t be bought or sold Cause she ain’t getting old She won’t be bought or sold Cause we ain’t growing old She’s in love with steel kisses, silver tongues, And promises of hearts of gold Refrain Are you worn out? Cut down to size? Having fun now? The Fever Age clings to the alive Bridge The Radiating Woman soon finds herself Falling into a sort of hedonistic bliss Fed only on malnutritioned lullabies of yesterday She holds on to this wildfire This flame she held was an immediate sensation One both novel and pure “No more burden to burn” she told herself "No more burden to burn” This was a pride that refused to be burnt down to the floor A hole was made but an ember empire soon surfased Pick and scrape The sickly shapes Til the dusted teardrops They all melted away Take me home That’s where I want to stay That’s where I should be can you take me there Please take me home Verse 3 Your next great escape is hiding from you Out in the Great Plains A pained paradise stands still So find a bulletproof vest  That you can call your own I’ll wait for you If you’ll wait for me in the Fever Age Outro please take me home please take me home please take me home please take me home please take me home please take me home please take me home please take me home

Shimmer: Verse 1 I’ve only been as good as my last rhyme Can you tell you’re what’s on my mind? Down where the lights cry out Between gates of the countless Weightless nightbirds How they Hide the stars that have fallen apart The brightest glow is where the darkness grows Yeah they cherish their new hope They carry the echo Endlessly Plain enough to see Chorus Until my voice is broken These will be my words I want a light to shine down This feeling inside can’t wait to be heard Verse 2 These are the days where you age as fast as you can run You used to say “What falls under the sun Just always ends up becoming the prey” And I know you laughed about it But I know you think about it, you still Run your gums about catching up with old chums When they don’t even think about you anyway You can either stay here or go back to the home Where pictures get torn up But I don’t think  That’s your place to stay Chorus Until my voice is broken These will be my words I want a light to shine down This feeling inside can’t wait to be heard Outro Your body breathes loud But your lips they move a whisper I promise you I’m still right here Your body breathes loud But your lips they  move a whisper I promise you I’m still right here

Paper Trails: Verse 1 Saturday night  Marked the end of our spell The notes were all scripted If you couldn’t tell The newspaper's always ready and true The paper cuts both me and you I’m standing here  Could you spare me a light? Cut me some slack Don’t make me ask twice I’ll trace it back All to no avail I’m folding in to your paper trails Chorus Sketch me in and cut me out Sketch me in and cut me out Cash a check and spiral out Sketch me in and cut me out Verse 2 The pen spins and cries tears of rage The pen spins and cries tears of rage Leave a little room for the ink to creep in Leave a little room for the ink to creep in Between the cut marks Where the river flows I’ll follow it down To where your daydream goes All I collect at the end of the month Is your vast collection of papercuts Chorus So sketch me in and cut me out Sketch me in and cut me out Cash that check Spiral out Sketch me Sketch me Verse 3 A hole in the wallet Is a hole in the heart A hole in the wallet Is a hole in the heart Never gave me  anything That I could keep All that you gave to me Was a kick in the fucking teeth Outro Sketch me in and cut me out Sketch me in and cut me out Sketch me in and cut me out Sketch me in and cut me out (Why can’t money be forever) (Why can’t money be forever) Money printer Stuff your pockets with pride Money printer Take your profits and hide Sketch me in and cut me out Sketch me in and cut me out

Idle Mind: Intro I’ve got an idle mind An idle mind But I don’t mind Verse 1 I heard a word about Some shelter singing  “Wouldn’t you rather trade A headful of thoughts for a heavy cup of change?” I have seen the seasons roll out Under the sky upon my windshield fading But my clouds are standing still Pre-Chorus 1 Cause I have seen them Come a little closer I left them behind Yeah I left them all behind This body holds me Not for very much longer All compartmentalized Girl, you need a change of mind Chorus 1 I don’t mind An idle mind Yes, I don’t mind Baby, I don’t mind That I’ll waste my time with you If you want me to I’ll waste my time with you Verse 2 Got me some lazy luck That’s floating me along With liquid confidence I’ve looked to the skies and seen crumbling stars I’ve seen broken men who’ve travelled far Give a victory march Pre-Chorus 2 So let out the rabid dogs and you can see them All burn a little brighter Destroying themselves in their own suns All just walking atom bombs Or else filed in Like Terracotta soldiers But in the back of the line There was one they could not find And I I’d rather be, I’d rather be I’d rather be The soil left growing Underneath the stone Chorus 2 I’ve got an idle mind An idle mind But I don’t mind Baby, I don’t mind That I’ll waste my time with you If you want me to I’ll waste my time with you 

The Joy of Ulterior Motives: Verse 1 If I held you into the dark Would it be a compliment? If this is with me  Please tell me it’s getting you too Check your front door And lock it Hide your jugular in your back pocket I’ve got this feeling I just cannot shake That I’m being fed like a rat to a snake Pre-Chorus 1 So you can run, you can hide You can run your mouth and lie You’ll meet your maker in the end Ponzi schemes and mondegreens Won’t keep you sheltered from your stormy weather Chorus We’re tied to these blood red handcuffs We’re bound by this bright red chain One of us can try to look so tough When we’re both blinded by these chains Verse 2 This one started off as a duet But a few pages got lost along the way This heat here’s getting a little heavier now But remember these shackles They give off a rattle A sneaking suspicion Might give you a God-on-Demand To justify your singing About coming undone Silver hides the lying tongue But even the Rio Grande Can’t hide shaking hands Pre-Chorus 2 So you can run, you can hide You can run your mouth and lie You’ll meet your maker in the end Forgotten kings and frilly things Are all left lying naked in the sand Chorus We’re tied to these blood red handcuffs We’re bound by this bright red chain One of us can try and look so tough When we’re both blinded by chains We’re tied to these blood red handcuffs We’re bound by that bright red chain One of us can try and look so tough We’re blinded We’re blinded Outro I know that you know pride comes before the fall

This Must Be The End: Verse 1 The sun lowers down On my city that sleeps Pack it in a box Your thoughts are going home A full tank of gas On an empty heart Let’s leave our shadows Underneath the freeway Oh, those folk back home They hide their smiles from the cold It’s getting old So I think I’m going where Clouds won’t hang in the air Pre-Chorus "And I looked!" He’s nowhere to be found “Yeah he was gone! "He was gone!" "He was gone!” No more No more pushing my heart around Chorus All the sullen maids Faces wet with rain They’re all clutching on Onto their hand-grenades The hometown heroes Are all left to theorize What will happen After the sunrise If there’s a heaven I’ll stand exactly where I am When this song’s over Will it just happen again? I’m telling you my friend That by now there’s no time to make amends More than a passing trend This must be the end Verse 2 Cuz it’s chocolate bars or sashimi Or else it’s caffeine trips and misery And it gets so old This fuel I’ve held was meant to burn Even the waves that are made of Ether Will crash back into the sea Eventually Pre-Chorus "And I looked!" He’s nowhere to be found “Yeah he was gone! "He was gone!" I was gone No more No more pushing me ‘round Chorus All the sullen maids Faces wet with rain They’re all clutching on Onto their hand-grenades The hometown heroes Are all left to theorize What will happen After the sunrise If there’s a heaven I’ll stand exactly where I am When this song’s over Will it just happen again? I’m telling you my friend That by now there’s no time to make amends More than a passing trend If the pathway narrows You might get flowers in your hair Bridge You have to shout through the city Pushing echoes cross the hall Shout through the city Pushing echoes cross the hall Shout through the city Pushing echoes cross the hall THESE ARE THE SOUNDS OF THE LIVING!! You have to shout through the city Pushing echoes cross the hall Shout through the city Pushing echoes cross the hall Shout through the city Pushing echoes cross the hall THESE ARE THE SOUNDS OF THE LIVING!! So what do you wanna be? Chorus All the sullen maids Faces wet with rain They’re all clutching on Onto their hand-grenades The hometown heroes Are all left to theorize What will happen After the sunrise If there’s a heaven I’ll stand exactly where I am I will help myself If it’ll happen again I’m telling you my friend That by now there’s no time to make amends More than a passing trend This must be the end
