Sands Calling
01:55
|
|||
The sands are calling me
Out into the open sea
And I don't know how long
I'll be down there
The winds are blowing me
Down onto an open floating raft
And I don't know how long I'll be on it
I'll surely have to buy more things than I carried in my case
I'll put every memory I've made onto my face
I'll play a record every day before I leave this place

Wings Over
02:00
|
|||
You flood the catacombs
With fresh, untested fuel
I'll fix that end of things
With a new unbroken stool
Spin some stories up
With grandiose emotion
Take some footage
That turns into mileage to match
We'll go our route
Up and down the coast
We find a solid batch
We go as far as we can reach
The wings over Stardust Beach

Cardboard Ship
02:10
|
|||
Anything can happen, anything can change
Here, you know, safety measures are a no-go
We try to provide the best
That the passengers can get
We've never had a second thought
Before they go down
Our passengers like it like the old town
You can feel free to come aboard the vessel
If you're able to pass a certain threshold
"You must be this tall."
Anything can happen, anything can change
Anything can happen, anything can change
Anything can change

Amphibian
01:07
|
|||
See the amphibian
Crawling for its life
Up past the coastal line of sight
See the amphibian
Running from the snakes
See the way it moves
Out and to the right

The Finest Far And Away
03:25
|
|||
We live in the jaws of the on-season services
And when they don't work right it gives me a nervousness
That doesn't go away until I'm in the waterfront
Doesn't go away until I've had the healing effect
Let's just watch the people come and go
And stare at the creations on the sand
Let's just watch them throw up their hands
And add a new activity
To the pre-existing plans
Wandering in perpetuity
To build something they've never seen
Under the glossy lights and thick pages of five-star reviews
Passing through the boardwalk on any given afternoon
Throwing yourself out there on any particular day
With all the signs screaming they're the finest far and away
All the signs screaming they're the finest far and away
All the signs screaming they're the finest far and away

Container Freighter
01:49
|
|||
I fail to understand
The news from the mainland
Glowing orbs on the cover of Forbes
A high budget misfire
A low budget satire
But then I get back to what I love most
Shipping containers from coast to coast
You're new to the game, you don't suck at it yet
He's not coming back, do you want to bet?
See you later, container freighter

Under Yolk
02:32
|
|||
I see my own face in the water
I see my own hands in the mirror
Under the yolk of constant surveillance
Fearing a series of masked assailants
It's the salience
That I don't like to question
It's the questions
That I don't like to mention
They add a new dimension
That I hadn't considered
And it makes me scared
And it makes me aware
Of just how alone I am

Smug Performer
02:17
|
|||
Whatever this turns out to be, I'll know
That I'll feel safe after the fact and go
"Hey, that wasn't much of a threat at all!"
It would be wrong of you to expect me to fall
I can be painfully grandiose
I've been told to stop being verbose
I've been told to shut up and leave the stage
But does that deter me? Not in this day and age
Whatever this turns out to be, I'll know
There's always someone who will listen
Whatever this turns out to be, I know
There's always someone out there who will listen

Cosmic Composite
03:07
|

Using spray-paint to save face
Going over all the so-called family businesses
This is about the walls of gray
Where life once stood
This is about whether or not
You wouldn't or you would
Sacrifice convenience to prevent decay
You can't just go on playing keep-away
This is about the walls of green
Where life once stood
This is about whether or not
You wouldn't or you would
Sacrifice convenience to prevent decay
We can't just go on playing keep-away
Nuclei fuse into Fe
The outer layers expand towards you and me
Everything is cosmic composite
And composite is all that's left
Composite is all that's left

The Drain
01:42
|
|||
In summary, I found my summer to be
A drain on my energy
I can field your questions as long as you like
I'll just deflect if it's a nerve you strike
The quickest way to avoiding confrontation
"I'm wrong, and you're right"

Plastic Islands
02:27
|
|||
Are you back from your voyage abroad?
What did you see?
What did you do?
Looking out across the movements of the ocean
I don't know the notion
So you have to explain
Factories on the northern shore
Spewing out a cover of pollution
To save the institution
This you have to explain
Everything is obsolete
And nothing can stay new for long
Under the low cloud cover
The plastic islands hover

Into The Dark
02:00
|
|||
I obscure the night
With the shine of a false light
I brewed some milk
And drank it
Under a gravity blanket
I want so badly to find a remedy
The last note in a symphony stays put
There are some things I can't hide from
It's a question of
How much more
I want to know
Into the dark I go
