1.
i needed to close my eyes i needed to fall asleep i needed to scream and shout i needed to scream and shout i took out my crooked knife i cut into my desire i taught myself to forget i taught myself to forget i dove into the middle of the darkest cloud i plunged right through and on the other side i found red and gold
2.
wanna take a hammer to the wall tear the whole thing down take this shallow heart to the deepest lake and watch it drown take your hand to my face wave away my mind like the hands on a clock wave away the time there are buttons on the pockets there are rooms beneath the floors but we'll never dare unlock them for the fear of what's in store when the circuits are closed we go to another place where the bindings of life are unwound are erased there is flutter of wings there is warmth of the sun there are flowering things in our room all locked up

Super Heroes 04:05
i would like to see what a child sees looking up at everything seeing many things for the first time even second times feel like first times i would like to believe everything so simple, so simply to be gullible, befuddlable and excitable and delightable i would like to have a hero the best hero, a super hero to believe in him want to be like him have you heard of him my superhero
4.
the fork approaches and i don't know the way no money in my pocket and it's past time to pay and i pay i pay with words i pay with songs i pay i pay with tears i pay with my body i pay judgement day is coming clouds will roll away glory will rain like fire that is what they say, they say it like a good thing and i mostly believe them but will we pay will we pay for all the times we looked out for ourselves is there gold or jewels or blood that would be enough he cried in the garden, he asked for another way he knew that his body'd be broken for people who owed too much to pay his best friends who should have been with him were sleeping and dreaming he knew that his body'd be broken for people, people
5.
Remembrance 04:44
the secret summer trees swayed gently in the early fall breeze a dove up in a branch looked down on lovers knowingly, with a sideways glance chorus the fire in the sting makes pure all living things the phantom limb doesn't grow back but it stays alive last night in my dreams we flew on paper wings we soared over the park and all our friends went laughing with us in the dark (chorus) a moment holds a life a life holds no more than a breath the black, black well of the night holds copper dreams and wishes that are burning bright (chorus) rosemary's for remembrance
6.
love you till the day i die it'll take a million pins just to put me back together love you till the day i die it'll take a million strings just to pick me up off of the floor
