Wait for Me (free) 03:44
Wait for me wait for me wait for me wait for me They came and stole the roof off of my father's house and I buried my face in the ashes we made charcoal masks to hide our faces painted ourselves black and waited Hope travels from mouth to mouth we packed our things up, sealed our lips, and mailed our bodies out waited for my baby, almost born on the boat I swore I'd tell him when he'd grown: Take these seeds, don't ever let them see the light of day til you're far far away from here and listen as I whisper in your ear the soft and silent stories of the tangled tendrils of the morning glories Wait for me

Sun, Sun (free) 02:02
Sun, sun you're about to set but you hang on the horizon as if to say, I'm not quite ready yet How can you ever not know what to do when the world revolves around you How can there be anything that you don't understand when you are so much bigger, so much bigger than I am
3.
Anyway (free) 02:22
I'm saying into a jar you'll screw the lid on tight, throw it on a shelf where all your outgrown clothes, your outgrown clothes are Well you were right when you said oh there isn't much to say well it wasn't much, wasn't much of anything anyway

Hey little boy blue eyes, you are gonna be so famous one day still listen to your songs sometimes, they're never about me, but that's okay it's hard to keep in touch these days, I know I know I know I know I know I know well I still think you're the best, but that doesn't make me anyone these days. Your hands were always so graceful on paper, they turned clumsy on my skin now here's a leg and here's an arm, you couldn't get the hooks undone I laughed and then you blushed and we were friends and now I'm sure you've got girls and girls and girls and girls and girls and girls and girls all over you and I'm not one of them though I've still got bits of you stuck in between my teeth.
5.
Now I'm just being lazy and I'm not impressed with you I don't feel like fucking these days oh well You were such a good lay when you didn't know how oh well

Socializing (free) 00:41
If I talk you'll think I'm weird, if I don't then you'll be bored so I mutter sounds you won't understand this is not a good solution, I'm just buying myself time as I stall for something clever to say And I know I should be trying to look pretty but I'm slumped up pigeon toed against the wall please forgive me if I laugh at all of the wrong times they never taught me how to do this in school

Giant Islands (free) 03:06
I am not responsible for what you think of me that is something you'll decide independently I thought I did my best but I guess I tread too carefully Go back to your houses there's nothing to see here And the continents are all just giant islands can't understand how lonely they must be continents are all just giant islands Go back to your houses there's nothing to see I am not responsible

Message in a Bottle (free) 01:42
There are bottles in my body that are ready to explode they are teeming with infection and disease but today I'm sitting down and I am writing them a note which I will stuff right down their throats before I throw them out to sea It says, what's out of sight I'll keep in mind but too much hindsight makes you blind it damages the tape to press play and rewind at the same time everything comes in waves and stays just long enough for us to wade through it before it fades away so I'm sending you back the same way that you came And I'll wave goodbye goodbye goodbye bye, wave goodbye goodbye goodbye goodbye bye wave goodbye

There from Here (free) 15:05
Don't you want to go somewhere warm somewhere warm don't you want to go somewhere warmer than here well it's all for the best, I guess, you say I'll stay in my room temperature room temperature room Well what did you expect what did you expect to get when you settle for the best what did you expect And you find yourself lukewarm in more ways than one if we go we can show our shoulders the sun but you slump deeper in your chair and now you're cutting off your hair again you wear your clothes into the shower so you won't have to see your own skin You won't get away with this you won't get away with this you won't get away with this without paying your dues Well you better keep your hands where they are it's an eye for an eye around these parts and you'll get what you pay for, you'll shoot what you aim for if you give a damn at all oh and Can't a girl get some sympathy I'm a long way from home, got no place to sleep and all I want to do is wash my face off and take out my teeth at night I pull off to the side of the road, ask a man for directions he shakes his head no and says pretty face, let me make myself clear you can't get no you can't get there from here can't get there from
