That Something 03:14
lyrics
Assembled physics Assigned economies Gathered treatments, folded patients Told that one to leave Taped to market Wired for efficiency Blocked the nays, bought the ways, Gathered whispering Crumbled Crumbled...stretched, unwound
2.
Frequent Landslides 03:29
lyrics
Slip off your charms; rip off your smiles Blatant eyewitnesses alone in styles It’s time to slack off and charge the halls Run the over/under between system calls Beat your chests...beat your bones Check all of yourself to find the holes Why don’t you dye them black, blue, purple, yellow, bruise them good? You can tell everyone they were misunderstood You know they’re falling on the sidewalks not worth saving The structure’s heading for another timely cave in The methods and the maps and the masters and the mavens You feel the crumbling of foundations on the east side The plumbing’s gone into the land of frequent landslides The maybes, the moping, the moaning, the misguided Half...half...half...better trade ‘em Half...half...half...better trade ‘em

Song About Writing a Song 03:13
lyrics
Sitting here We're all in the living room And now the sound's Resounding all around you We made it good before we made it true We'll never stop and think about all the things we didn't do We made it good before we made it true We'll never stop and think about all the things we didn't do We'll never hear Our songs on the radio Keep our ideas On the dusty windows We made it good before we made it true We'll never stop and think about all the things we didn't do We made it good before we made it true We'll never stop and think about all the things we didn't do

Big Boom 03:42
lyrics
After there’s nothing of nothing to end there After we travel the gray ways to get where the features end Smudged into empty Narrow the page while the edges expand Lowered the cage when others demand that the corners round Smoothed into empty I can’t stand to see your eyes constantly melting I can’t stand to hear your limited believing I can’t stand to know you’ve shoved off your giving

Don't Call the Government 03:51
lyrics
Are you saved? Are you sure? Are you positive, totally positive? Completely insured? Don’t write your friends We’ll call the government Don’t set fires, steal shit, break things Without procurement Protest your bedroom Take on your funeral Attack your every move, every thing, every want We’ll take it Federal Peer through your window Lurk in your attic Hide in the closets, pantries, cabinets We’ve made our notes; they’re problematic We’ve made our notes; they’re problematic We’ve made our notes; they’re problematic

There's Nothing Holy About Talking to Ghosts 02:51
lyrics
We always finish with rubber matches Swinging keys at imagined latches The foil covered windows of hidden things Recliners burnt with repeated viewings Worn out, shredded, covered in patches We’re always giving demonstrations Wheeling out captured for TV stations Not concerned with those you’ve raised the most There’s nothing holy about talking to ghosts Worn down, blasted, allegations I faked the secrets you wanted to know I lied to keep you in front of the show I faked the secrets you wanted to know I lied to keep you in front of the show

Count the Coldest Windows with Me 03:11
lyrics
Erin: He gave up sin for one more story Rebekah: Smoothed it flat Erin: Threw away the back alley glory Rebekah: Grown too fat Erin: Miracles with granite cushions Rebekah: Hold the stacks Erin: Welcomed all the storm cloud pushing Rebekah: Come, come back Count the coldest windows with me Spy on the warmest clouds with me

Filtered and Filtered and Filtered Black 03:35
lyrics
Got a message to telegraph Impossible in the aftermath Spinning forward along the path Filtered and filtered and filtered black
