Patient zero 02:17

I could have died, but because of your dream I'm satisfied I could have died but because of your dream I'm satisfied I've been looking forever, do you ever think I'll see I've been looking forever, do you ever think I'll see She looks so good that I wish I could She looks so free She looks so fine That I want to make her mine She looks so free That I wish she was me
4.
In my arms 01:46
When I hold you in my arms It's like a magnetic lock I don't want to let go Energy flux, heartbeat pulse I'm just a poor boy looking to forget I'm never satisfied with all of my regret Life would be different with me You'll care about less of some things And focus more on certain things But more or less you'll be the same I'll love you forever just the same

Red mercury 01:06
I've been searching for forever through the shade of the glade Came across you once but I could not say your name So I watched you dancing in the rain and things will never be the same I saw lightning strike, thunder bellows through the air, and the mist refracts the light and the creature came to lie Sit there with your hands on your head, boy you think you got it all sorted I'm crawling out the tomb, back from the dead, and I'm raining red mercury in your water supply What cha gonna do when the fluid runs red, What cha gonna do when she's under your bed What cha gonna do when the fluid runs red, What cha gonna do when she's under your bed

Closer 02:08
You let me violate you You let me desecrate you You let me penetrate you You let me complicate you (Help me) I broke apart my insides (Help me) I've got no soul to sell (Help me) the only thing that works for me Help me get away from myself I wanna fuck you like an animal I wanna feel you from the inside I wanna fuck you like an animal My whole existence is flawed You get me closer to God You can have my isolation You can have the hate that it brings You can have my absence of faith You can have my everything (help me) you tear down my reason (Help me) it's your sex I can smell (Help me) you make me perfect Help me become somebody else I wanna fuck you like an animal I wanna feel you from the inside I wanna fuck you like an animal My whole existence is flawed You get me closer to God

See the way she walks down the street See the way she shuffles her feet My she holds her head up high when she goes walking by you know she caught my eye When she didn't take my hand I was so proud Because I know she's not just one of the crowd Oh my baby's always the one to do the things they've never done and just because of that, they say She's a rebel and you know she'll never ever be any good She's a rebel and you know she'll never ever do what she should But just because she doesn't do what everybody else does that's no reason why I can't give her all my love because she's always good to me, always treats me tenderly she's not a rebel, no no, she's not a rebel, no not to me and If they don't like her that way, then they won't like me after today because I'll be standing right by her side and they'll say Your a rebel and you'll never ever be any good, huh? She's a rebel and you know she'll never ever do you any good, huh? Just because she doesn't do what everybody else does that's no reason why we can't share a love because she's always good to me, always treats me tenderly She's not a rebel, no no, she's not a rebel, no no always treats me tenderly, yeah good to her I try to be To know know know her, is to love love love her and I do, yeah I do To know know know her, is to love love love her and I do Don't you know I've got a number six spinning wheels on my five frame disc you know, its a heavy load darling, but if you can

Through every forest Above the trees Within my stomach Scraped off my knees I drink the honey Inside your hive You are the reason I stay alive We're in this together closer, we're getting closer where is the place where we get to when the uh some things go without names uh, we're in this together now get to the place that we get together the time and the place where the names without names her, myself, hurt, myself head like a crown in the thorn of my side have you got enough sir kill myself, kill themselves, kill all selves, kill all cells

Vacation 02:21
Fragment perfume picnic patches clay pot retainer black soup a story not suppose to be written ladle candle wax sardine treatment ka ka for bread cha cha for tea an effort to reduce the boredom while I wait within sealed rooms I'll tell ya, your towels I'm a bit oppressed lucky you she told me hey baby come hang out yeah? so what happened on vacation afraid to slap myself awake don't you forget choose to remember If he's asleep all good oh that's good wavy curls, garden pearls could go fast yearning to explain my situation the list of people grew remembering your phone number is a code to be cracked a beginning familiar misguided plot and an ending uncertain between two alternatives

I thought it was you how is your shoulder? I felt sorry, I ought to, I didn't ask the other day Was, let me tell you, there's only a few bunch of nutcases here triggered, conscientiously speaking I am to fuck I keep my grandson locked, this, to from the world he once with or am I selfish bitch, business, when he asked to live with, as a compromise he laughed, bungalow his face, puffy jacket for what, don't you light a fire, lazy bones I was going haze come with cremated keep the embers to bring potential to my new house, oh the audacity to keep myself, witch and frosted every time you in the kitchen, I need to be in there you're soaking up the wrong vocal resonances excuse me mam' do you want a biscuit, oh no sorry there's a snake in my view, but yes

Glue to you 01:19
There's a kind of glue to you I can't quit, adhesive strip-per person bit We stick together Mess around, same time I was found Lemon lime and bitters Don't tell, tell your sister We stick together Never had it better We stick together Just a name to a face, baby your all my saving grace, no more mistakes we stick together

I always dreamed the girl I love would come along she'd be rich and handsome smart and strong now the girl I love has come to me she sure ain't the way I thought she'd be she doesn't look like a big screen star she doesn't drive a Cadillac car she sure ain't the girl I've been dreaming of, but she's sure the girl I love she doesn't want me to be a big business man she's always lying on that installment plan she sure ain't the girl I've been dreaming of but she's sure the girl I love when I hold her tight oh everything seems right crazy as it seems, you know I hear whatever she hears and I forget all my dreams she doesn't hang diamonds round my neck all she's got is unemployment checks she sure ain't the girl I've been dreaming of, but she's sure the girl I love when I hold her tight oh everything seems right crazy as it seems, you know I hear whatever she hears and I am whole
