The Light 07:17
I am afraid I shouldn't be I know where to go But I cannot see I am in love I hurt and I heal I lost my heart But I can still feel I am a corpse I walk and I care I've no destination But I'm getting there I am a sight But I cannot see I am invisible But I am not free I am so lost I've found my self here I've fallen so far But I need you near You are the light You give and you take You empty me now But you give what I need You tore the curtain And you called my name In your body I will feel no pain You were broken But you weren't afraid In your body You were taken away You gave yourself In the pouring rain To any liar Who would call your name When I was young I was so afraid Now there is nothing but an empty grave

Colt Song 07:17
Have a merry Christmas A happy hanukkah too Don't tell me all about it I don't want to talk about The things that your brothers do Have another coke now You've already had two Spill it on the couch She's already such a grouch Not much we can do Have a fit of rage now What are we coming to? It's the age where death is all the rage I'll go get the glue Have another coke now You've already had three Your brain is a river Spilling out with every shiver Into the sea "Who am I to you?" Said the sun to the moon There was no reply But stary, blurry gloom What a dance the planets performed For me tonight I'd give them anything they want "Give it all to me The colt, the bag, the shoes." "Reach for the stars." "What have I got to lose?" I pulled the black sky Wrapped around my eyes Sent them far away I wouldn't give them anything And I'll never see you again Until the afterlife

I can't get you off of my mind Your love is tangible Your heart has a glow And I never ever ever did find A love so sweet so sweet so sweet I can't get you out of my head You're stuck in the verses In rhythmic reverses I never ever ever did mind Your sound so loud so loud so loud I love what's happening here I love what's happening here I love what's happening here Between us I can't get you off of my chest You touched the stone It sunk into the bone And I never ever ever did hear A sound so clear so clear so clear I can't get you onto the page A love evangelical That harbors the light And I never ever wanted to know A love so sweet so sweet so sweet I love what's happening here I love what's happening here I love what's happening here Between us

In My Blood 01:53
In my blood I can feel it In my blood Water flows And I don't know Where it's going In my blood Ice like snow

Jacket Song 07:26
I took my jacket off at dinner time I sang but I forgot to rhyme Oh did we feel light in our eyes Oh did we feel light headed Oh did we feel light in our eyes Oh did we feel love in our minds I fell across the floor and bled out I shifted time without a shout Oh did we feel light in our eyes Oh did we feel light headed Oh did we feel light in our eyes Oh did we feel love in our minds I want somebody else to feel it I want somebody else to feel it I want somebody else to feel it I want somebody else to feel it now We feel the light In our eyes We feel the love In our minds 1, 2, 3, 4

In my head I know you're not afraid In my heart I think I feel your pain In my mind I hear your voice again In my mind I wish you'd speak again My eyes are a mirror The light that you see Is the light that's in you My heart disappears Every time that you step out the room In my mind The planets melt away In my mind The stars are giving way In my side I feel like I'm to blame You took the sword Oh yeah you took my shame My eyes are a mirror The light that you see Is the light that's in you My heart disappears Every time that you step out the room From the mud That you make white as snow From the blood That you make water flow From the clay That you make living flesh From the galaxies Made to mesh My eyes are a mirror The light that you see Is the light that's in you My heart disappears Every time that you step out the room
7.
Love is an obvious idea Why do you call me crazy For loving you this way? You have a tendency to turn Just when the hurting stops You turn back to your own way Stop this sacrifice You don't need a sacrifice He already died No other blood will suffice Destroy the misinformation I'm burning it up Everything you gave me Cuz nothing nothing nothing Can restore my broken heart I've found life by death It's all that can save my soul Cuz no one no one no one else Can wash my filthy heart I'm burning it up I'm burning it up

The Pressure 06:23
(Improvisation) Did I come on alright? Did I come on okay? Did I feel the pressure? Ohhhh Take me where I'll fall apart I cannot love you From the start I know it's hard To care I'm so uncool Like the middle of a rapture Jump in the pool A pre-millenial disaster I know I was not like this before You were a ghost A holy apparition But now you're real You've appeared in dissipation I know you were not like this before Take me where I'll fall apart I cannot love you From the start I know it's hard To care I never knew The complication of imbalance It was askew An Abrahamic borealis I have seen a light like this before I ran across A crumbling roman colliseum To fight a King Born in a broken mausoleum I've never seen a light like this before Take me where I'll fall apart I cannot love you From the start I know it's hard To care Oooh
9.
The Stone 11:54
When I was made of wood I watched the polished stone Waiting for a day That I would not be alone Many have come In the name of love But love is not the name Of the One above Who's great love Is an overflow Of the light They have Inside? Who will come To justify the lost? One of which Am I When I was very young I felt it open wide Death it would not win Yeah it could not hide The Stone was gonna come And crush the serpent's bones But I looked down at the stream And saw the Mighty Stone Who's great love Is an overflow Of the light They have Inside? Who will come To justify the lost? One of which Am I Ohhhh And I'm praying that you're mine But it's just so hard Cuz you're so much better And I wanted you to know That I think I've changed And I want you in my life And I want you to be mine But I know that you Deserve much better Maybe it's unkind That I still want you Though there's nothing good in me
