Easy 03:07
lyrics
You make it easy For me to forget myself When I'm trying to explain The gears that turn in my brain So come on I bet this could just go on and on Oh, come on Reach on up, hit the false alarm You make it easy To see heaven beneath the sheen All the hands reaching down for me Were really snakes in the trees So come on Let your machines run on and on Oh, come on Let out some line and watch it run So come on I bet this could just go on and on Oh, come on Let your machines run on and on And I can't or don't want to explain Something short lived Did it really end before it even started? How quick did you forget Every picture, every clip Did it wash away? You make it easy I make it easy too What a curious reply "I don't even have to try" So come on Sing in defense of those things gone wrong Oh, come on Don't look so angry, it's just one song And I can't or don't want to explain Something short lived Did it really end before it even started? How quick did you forget Every picture, every clip Did it wash away?

Hott Lixx Sink Ships 03:52
lyrics
Here's one last remnant A crooked, broken smile Flashbulb surprise Last October We had just seen The latest, greatest band You swore they sounded Just like some other Yes, I've been patient Yes, I've been polite I've set a place for you I've made my case to you And now all my lessons are learned I expect your return I can't wait to sing with you I'm on fire Sweet Caroline My one desire For you I've pined I can smash potatoes I can do the twitch So tell me baby Do you like this? Yes, I've been patient Yes, I've been polite I've been busy during the days I've been counting down the nights I've set a place for you I've made my case to you And now all my lessons are learned I expect your return I can't wait to sing with you You used to laugh at my guitar solos And roll your eyes when I told ya "My hott lixx sink ships!" Yes, I've been patient Yes, I've been polite I've been busy during the days I've been counting down the nights I've set a place for you I've made my case to you And now all my lessons are learned I expect your return I can't wait to sing with you

Time to Come Home 02:49
lyrics
I placed my bets A deficit of regrets Every day the results defy me I made my bed And I slept ok Wasn't sure what I was expecting Does the future expand or burn? The areas of my concern I'm standing on the side of the road I'm gonna make it Will you be waiting right inside of the door? Could this be my chance to forget? Could I rise and fall Catch hell Could I relent Will I break Will I bend When it's time to come home Some slippy traction It's spooky action What was ol' Einstein thinking? I get the strings I get the vibration We're on a membrane stretched too thinly Is the distance too troublesome? The only rhyme is cumbersome I'm standing on the side of the road I'm gonna make it Will you be waiting right inside of the door? Could this be my chance to forget? Could I rise and fall Catch hell Could I relent Will I break Will I bend When it's time to come home

I Still Love You Jessica Mayer 03:48
lyrics
Is there a song to sing now Cause I'd like to sing it and it goes To the one that I pinned all my fantasies on Cause I'd like to think that it's true I just don't know what I can do Is there a time to sing out now That I can sing out for you I just don't know what I can do I'm just still so hung up on you Oh, man it's coming out I still love you Jessica Come on now, I swear it's true I haven't forgotten and I won't forget I know you just haven't seen me at my best yet Is there a place that I belong now Nothing feels right I better go Drown my cares in one last bag of Doritos But nothing tastes the same without you I just don't know what I can do I'm just still so hung up on you Oh, man it's coming out I still love you Jessica Come on now, I swear it's true I haven't forgotten and I won't forget I know you just haven't seen me at my best yet Is this the time to sing it out Is this the way it should go down Is this the place we talked about? My parents can drive us into town 4 course meal at McDonald's Do you have the cash to cover your half? Is there a song to sing now Cause I'd like to sing it that it's true I just don't know what I can do I'm just still so hung up on you Oh, man it's coming out I still love you Jessica Come on now, I swear it's true I haven't forgotten and I won't forget I know you just haven't seen me at my best yet

UFO Battle over Nuremberg 03:22
lyrics
Lost time Silent climb Did you decide? You stared Into the air With blank, unfocused eyes Were you transfixed or paralyzed? Were you aware you'd taken flight? I could not save you I just watched them take you I tried my best to reach you Bathed in light, floating upward Sometimes I think you wanted to go You didn't fight it at all No chase No place To seek you out No idea How to begin No one would believe I could not save you I just watched them take you I tried my best to reach you Bathed in light, floating upward Sometimes I think you wanted to go You didn't fight it at all

Self Help for Bastards 04:20
lyrics
Selfish, lustful, crazy Boorish, shameful, lazy Do you want to change Your responsible ways? We'll help you achieve it It can be so easy Just stick to the plan Shun your old friends Thoughtful, loving, caring Time to change all of it It'll be so simple It'll be nothing We'll put you on the path Get you up and running It'll be so simple It'll be nothing Fumble your way up where no one can reach you Make light your flood of worries, I beseech you Abscond your duties and you'll be feeling fine Then sing out, "La la la la la" I hope you're learning something It's a fantastic program But you can't stray Fall into your old ways Please just take this brochure You can think it over I know it won't take long 'Til you're singing our song It'll be so simple It'll be nothing We'll put you on the path Get you up and running It'll be so simple It'll be nothing Fumble your way up where no one can reach you Make light your flood of worries, I beseech you Abscond your duties and you'll be feeling fine Then sing out, "La la la la la" Endorsement time! "I spend my weekends plastered This 'self help for bastards' Has really shed new light I feel better every night Aged just like a fine wine I'm only getting better with time!" Fumble your way up where no one can reach you Make light your flood of worries, I beseech you Abscond your duties and you'll be feeling fine Then sing out Then sing

Kiss You All Over 02:30
lyrics
Are you alone like I'm alone? Kiss you all over when you get home Something that you wanted to see Something that you wanted to try Something new you want to believe What are you waiting for A change in the breeze? Do you feel like me? Are we free To get what we're waiting for Are you alone like I'm alone? Kiss you all over when you get home Walk in the valley to pass the storm Someone new that you want to be What are you waiting for A change in the breeze? Do you feel like me? Are we free To get what we're waiting for Are you alone like I'm alone? Kiss you all over when you get home Walk in the valley to pass the storm Are you alone like I'm alone?

Anchor 03:28
lyrics
I'll stop now I've said it Last chances are overrated The deepest sea has waited Just for me Just for me I'm caustic I'm changing The bright white lights of heaven Aren't watching over me I sank down like an anchor Untied and spinning free I hold you to the water The darkest canopy I passed just like a stranger The sand beneath my feet You can't help but forget me Glass bottom Unshattered My life, I've hesitated Fresh mistakes, new secrets To keep Just for me The stillness Just floating The bright white lights of heaven Aren't watching anybody I sank down like an anchor Untied and spinning free I hold you to the water The darkest canopy I passed just like a stranger The sand beneath my feet You can't help but forget me
