Creature 06:53
Label all the labors of your life. Cradle all the savings of your life. Carve your smiles in gold, doin’ time. Projections validate that little cold side, suffocating emotions that you hide. Learn to be alone, doin’ time. Safe in bed, you hide. You’re filling balloons with air. They’re clouding up my sky. The masses should do time, but the criminals are fine doin’ time. Safe or alive. choose a side. The criminal is innocent inside each case I find. Serving at home (feet at bay), the cage aligns the mind (coal and mine define our time), I find. On the edge, come to life. Pick a side. Take a ride. You are not ready.
2.
The Ride 06:29
Up and down, we involuntarily go. We’re wasting time to find out why[.] We all swim and sink, jump and fly. The rhythm of our lives. Strap me in. I’m on board. Let’s ride. Mother and father, my sun and stars, I want to live between you, night and day. Dynamic, a wave of energy I want to ride, letting go. The illusion; You’ve got to let it go. It’s time. Let it go.
3.
Bright Ball 08:03
Building a bridge. No water rushing below me. Stand on a lie, even though the truth is right in front of your face. You’re rushed and you’re scared, feeling a little bit phony. Open your eyes. Will you oblige? We won’t wait for the night. Darkness owns a part of life. Bright ball, awaken. Saw you for the first time, shut the blinds. I was mistaken. Bright ball, I’m shaken. Join me in the sky. No, I’m not alone.
4.
Debtors 04:35
Tomorrow is coming, and god damn, I’m scared I will throw it away, or come unprepared. It’s another day that I would like to save. The quick way to save is pleasing your senses, and moving away from careful to reckless. Collide into what you know. I want it all, but what to do without much? File a claim. Monetize. The Jacket is coming, despite what I owe, so I’m asking my friends, “Can I get a loan, or should I stream the show from home?” A debtor, a liar(,) in bed until 3 has a ceiling between the sky and his feet. I will pay until I’m free.
5.
Lost My Body 06:14
Setting down, at dusk, things that I lose in time. I lost my body, and I lost my mind. The pain is setting in. I’m so very scared. You can let it in. I came prepared. I don’t want to wait. Show me how to run away from this. This is how you run away.
6.
When you stand in the shade, picture your lightest fate. When you’re living in pain, Open the tiny safe. Whatever you need. Whomever you please, so you don’t break. Turn a cheek to the law. You’re chasing the love you thought you felt(,) you saw. It dissolves on the tongue. You feel like a boy when he is young. Picture the life you had. Faded, Girl, it ‘aint nothin’ but a scheme. Before you cut down my dream, killing this tree, let me have it. I’m on a loan, spending alone, risking the lives we had all for a love that sinks like a stone, floating along, until it falls into the mud. Fated. There ‘aint nothin’ but the shade. Before you cut down that tree, let me have it.
