Tangibles 03:52
We're birds of a feather, words in a letter One that I wrote not too long ago That I never gave you for fear of the truth That which will save you is precisely what plagues you And I didn't believe in destiny and the unseen Stuck on tangibles, circumstance, and what I hold In my hands when I clench them and make a fist And I see the veins bulging in the skin on my wrist You're an apple on a tree, I'm a worm who wants to eat So if you're going down then I'm going down with you You're a poison in a pond, but I'm a fish who don't belong So if I go belly-up, then it's not just 'cause of you And I didn't believe in destiny and the unseen Stuck on tangibles, circumstance, and what I hold In my hands when I clench them and make a fist And I see the veins bulging in the skin on my wrist

It may be hard to accept But there's no villains or victims in this story See every once in a while, you can tell a tale of guts Without the glory And I know it's not the popular way People draw that line in the sand, they wanna know who's to blame And I know you swallowed yourself in shame But you gotta believe me, darlin', listen when I say... Don't go feeling guilty, don't even start It's like I told you once, only I can break my heart So don't go say you're sorry, no not this time It's like I said before, it's no one's fault but mine I've been known in the past To mistake a streetlight for the moon But I'll stick with my stance, even if the same can't be said For you And I know it's not the popular way People draw that line in the sand, they wanna know who's to blame And I know you swallowed yourself in shame But you gotta believe me, darlin', listen when I say... Don't go feeling guilty, don't even start It's like I told you once, only I can break my heart So don't go say you're sorry, no not this time It's like I said before, it's no one's fault but mine

Tethered 02:46
There’s a snake coiled round my head Whispering lies into my ear again His voice sounds as holy as honey and wine But his words fill my heart up with sickness and dread And if I listen to him again Say goodbye to my soul Cause he’s the devil he is Come calling to settle his score He creeps through my dreams His words send me reeling His voice sounds as holy as honey and wine (Appears in the gloam and rattles my bones) When all of my sins flash in front of his eyes There ain’t never no hiding away And as much as I pray For some change in the weather Old Nick’ll be standing right near me And leering each time that my shame has got me… But you don’t see me running it’s way either, now do you? Peel all the illusion away from your eyes And my eyes too We’ll find that devil has taken his place And we’ll give him his due And if I listen to him again Say goodbye to my soul Cause he’s the devil he is Come calling to settle his score He creeps through my dreams His words send me reeling His voice sounds as holy as honey and wine (Appears in the gloam and rattles my bones) When all of my sins flash in front of his eyes There ain’t never no hiding away And as much as I pray for some change in the weather Old Nick’ll be standing right near me And leering each time that my shame has got me… He creeps through my dreams His words send me reeling His voice sounds as holy as honey and wine (Appears in the gloam and rattles my bones) When all of my sins flash in front of his eyes There ain’t never no hiding away And as much as I pray for some change in the weather Old Nick’ll be standing right near me And leering each time that my shame has got me tethered

Bent 03:35
Tap, tap, tap, tap, tappin' your shoe I know I wanna make some noise with you But who said I had the time To let you nest so comfortably in my mind? One by one now you're breakin' my bones Using your words instead of sticks and stones But I'm learning how to heal up fast So I don't spend the summer stuck in a body cast And I am bent over these handlebars again Pedaling hard against the constant changing wind I've got a helium head floating high above the city It'll gladly come down if you could give me a source of sanity And I am bent over these handlebars again Pedaling hard against the constant changing wind And my flamingo head is buried deep inside the snow It'll gladly come out if you can give me a saner place to go
