"Let us go then you and i, when the evening is spread out against the sky like a patient etherized upon a table, let us go through certain half deserted streets the muttering retreats.... we have lingered in chambers of the sea by sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown, till human voices wake us and we drown" -T.S. Eliot

Tangerine (free) 02:16
tangerine, tangerine, you're turning green, tangerine, so full of seeds and high as can be, you worthless fruit! tangerine, tangerine, you're gonna see, tangerine, what sittin' round all day will do to you, you'll rot away, tangerine, become the shade in between dreams, now you know what your life means, there's only one rule to follow.. "no, you can't do what you want"

No Sound (free) 03:50
wrapped up and packed away, buried in a box, the doorway to your brain is locked i've been searchin, thats the place i want to be, but im terrified of finding the key all things i dont want to know the light i cant bear to see all the things i dont want to know a life i dont want to lead to sleep or the cosmos, or into the sun, i've got no shortage of places to run but let a simple word fall and i'll drop to the ground now im dreading everything resembling sound though nothing you could say would make me move what once was fading now has gone away, theres a break in time and space while your heart was aching your world was borne away to a point that devours everything and holds nothing

twist off cap, remove the contents i can feel you changing my context oh those soft lips and that wet shine you can feel me coming inside e-z grip bottles for on-the-go thirst quenching forget all the other things that we wont even mention 'cause you're so tired from all that running your throats a desert and time is money and it feels so good to rest in your body in the pit of your stomach in your sleepy hair knotty but slowly comes morning the light in my tomb and happy as i am in time comes the bathroom

thunder cloud looked me in the eye, while moanin with pleasure and while i trembled the world did sigh, "i think i've seen better" well i'd never seen such a sight, might never again such a short life, didnt think it'd leave so soon, i fall like a feather on the moon. so while i wait here, i'm tossin in my grave in the back of your mind you carry all my mistakes it was so beautiful, now i just feel ashamed when the perfect moment leaves it takes a piece of you away, ha thunder cloud looked me in the eye, a change in the weather, uh oh and each long day will pass by, bought a dub on credit, cause i got to thinkin' about all the lies got tired of the darkness so i got a light hear the demons croon? i fall like a feather on the moon oh beautiful storm, i cant see how this skin and bones love i have can be comforting, so it makes perfect sense that you should leave as i feel that gentle breeze urging you away from me

ARMCHAIR WILDERNESS quietly observes secret bliss, but it don't seem too fun. sometimes i do things without realizing, while realizing things without doing anything. on olympus, an old patch of dirt turned new, you wanted to sing so i told you to, and the wind through the trees sang with you, i'm so high up here staring into the blue... and try as i might i can't make out your face exhale catch a glimpse as the smoke floats away try as i might i can't make out your face catch a glimpse in the clouds as they drift away

you act all serious, but this is a contract we're bound to break. the new overlord instills fear in us in a way that makes us feel safe "you dont need to be quite sure what it is you're working towards" i look for you in the emptiness that view

Sydney (free) 06:26
did you know that for 20 long hours your body will be free? free blankets and pillows and you'll belong to no country, but no amount of restless sleep or flickering tv could ease the pain in your mind, as your torn between the sky and the sea. in your plane the world seems so far away, the pursuits of us small town kids must seem as pointless as your flight safety guide. above the ground, your mind is the clouds, hungover and spread out across the distance its been three long years since the last time you left, on the day of wiki when you crossed the ocean's breadth, and now you're back again. now you're back again. now you're going back again, now you're going back again. well its been fun, setting sun. in the passenger's limbo old friends leave and never come back, all friends leave and never come back, all feeling leaves and never comes back, all things leave and never come back, come back
