Seaweed 03:04
I have a small voice stuck in my mouth but I have so much to say I just can't get it out so I scream in the mornings when no one is around but I don't feel much better 'cause no one hears the sounds I make I live in an ocean filled to the brim with seaweed and everyone gets all tangled up whenever they come to see me I sing when I'm falling asleep It helps me breathe easy as I watch the dragons in the sky surround me Their fire is warm Their teeth: terrifying It takes everything I have to not think about dying I live in an ocean filled to the brim with seaweed and everyone gets all tangled up whenever they come to see me You'd better get comfortable down here at the bottom of the sea Hold your breath and take it slow You can't do any better than me

Clone 01:52
I want to say I'm happy for you but I can't even say your name If I could, then I would forget the whole damn thing I have never been alone like this before Please, do it again the same way as always, as always I need you to clone me Erase my memories, please Discard my old body somewhere in between the sky and the sea I have never been alone like this before Please, do it again the same way as always, as always as always, as always

20th century boys We were 20th century boys playing with toys in the backyard the grass beneath our feet Next thing I knew, I was living my life in a cubicle five days a week What I would give to go back to those days in the backyard with dirt on my knees Oh, oh The regional heat has been getting to me Every morning, my car is on fire And I can't do better than anything ever so I think I'll just call you a liar The American corporate dream comes complete with a handgun and tie and everything you'll ever need wrapped in a box and stamped $1.99 Oh, oh You were in bed this morning your chest moving upwards and down to the beat Music was coming from the backyard Clouds overcast and a nice cool breeze You got dressed, made your way outside Your neighbors were having a barbecue You should join them "No thank you"

And I'm having the dream again you were my best friend and it hurts just like it did when I was a kid Give me something I can use to get me through a summer or two Give me something I can taste in the back of my mouth when I am not awake

Fluid Lungs 02:29
I hope this reaches you soon I've packed it up a nice letter and a book It should get there in a few days' time I hope it helps She told me that your lungs filled up with fluid When I heard, mine felt the same way I've never been that close to you but I'm not afraid if you're not afraid I hope this reaches you soon I've packed it up a nice letter and a book It should get there in a few days' time I hope it helps You told me you were glad that I had called you You said, "Thanks, kid. I hope you're doing fine" I don't think about you often I am ashamed, but that's the truth You told me you were glad that I had called you You said, "Thanks, kid. I hope you're doing fine" I don't think about you often I am ashamed, but that's the truth I hope we speak again soon

Very Far 03:49
I want to build a ship go to outer-space let the emptiness swallow my face A rocket on a mountaintop I'll make my way up there and build it with copper nails and rusted steel I don't need to get very far We are what we are Keep me honest give it to me straight what I've made won't make anything great It's not the broken tools or the mess I've made or a lack of trying or the overstated entropy that's crippling me I don't need to get very far We are what we are I want to build a ship go to outer-space let the emptiness swallow my face A rocket on a mountaintop I'll make my way up there and build it with copper nails and rusted steel I don't need to get very far We are what we are We are what we are I don't need to get very far I don't need to get very far I don't need to get very far
