Cave Song 04:28
Is there anyplace I should go today Is there any thought from the calendar display That shows me what to do and where to go on a certain day Is there anything I would rather do this way I don't suppose its a crime to never show off All that inside appearance, you might try, Something like smiling so bright It warms your face and makes you feel like like such a sight And to finally decide that the war machine will only deplore and deprive don't you ever just suppose you go down that hole Hoping that it leads to a better place than home

How do I know that you're honest Hopelessly lying about where you go How can you say that you know me You don't know the part of me that knows This truth carries all While time cures the mold This truth carries all My conscience unfolds What do I do with all the flowers That the people at the store don't buy How could you leave without selling All of these things you've left behind

Night Dress 03:46
Night dress In a part of him there seems to be another digress Another part that exists inside a night dress Some could claim that he was confused and disregarded The man was tamed by a forbidden theme unguarded This could be true when I’m with you You have been all and I seek truth I don’t want to be force of a fake fool Because a part of me is of the body of the misused And la la la she sings for everything will pass In another world I sing, its raining poison gas I don’t want to have to see your face in the night sky Constellation photographs remind me of your bright eyes A pot of gold sits at your feet and is more alike Another scene of love taking hold of the most high You have faded all my chances of my chances of love Yet, you have conjured me with a face of a dove You can’t solve everything with one look from the glass A concept remembered by one’s soul who’s been blessed There’s a part of you that breathes just like a sunset Bright beady eyes, with a face full of whole regret I want to see you in the sweet and silent sunset I want to go and find you sleeping on the sunbed I want to see the part that exists behind the night dress

Translated Lyrics- To all that I hope and I choose, must we stay, or are we living on the edge of the cold western sun And no one understands seems to understand who we are Until you let yourself love someone Bless yourself, be good again Don't ever be certain you can't ever exist And if it all depends on how your life transpires Don't life be burned by your desires But if all that I hope and I choose is good Theres a hope in truth that never makes it out of you No one seems to know who you are No one knows who you are Be good to all When I turn and to look at you, be who you are Were you ever good enough to know your own side What good is love if it can't save lives Give yourself a break once and a while There's not always a victory line.

Paralyzed 03:34
Cold blues running, I hate to see, that girl, that girl, what she meant to me Bitter love brewing, there was no love cooking, in the place we leave, can't you see The ground was given to us, sanded, but broken in the cracks we never replaced This house of plaster, tear it down, let loose the cement in this great old town Need I know, you got your red white and blue all figured out Now let me figure out mine I touch and go, with my eyes to the left and the right I stay outside, so stay off of my mind Rain comes down and I realize, that there's no place for shelter when the house is a lie. But something hits me, a thought rendered truth? I don't get much, but I not fooled I'll take my risks and I'll attempt to climb, this mountain of truth, with so many days to die Need I know, you got your red white and blue all figured out Now let me figure out mine I touch and go, with my eyes to the left and the right I stay outside, so stay off of my mind Im paralyzed and I know, it barely started out and right, so I stay outside

Dear Demo 06:27
Oh dear daisy, its getting quite hazy, I may walk to the park and feel all the crazy Oh daisy, I, daisy, I couldn't speak the language I may walk to the park and return the all the cases Oh dear hazy, its getting quite daisy I may walk through the park and feel the sunlight Oh daisy, I, daisy, I couldn't speak the language So I may walk to the park and not get deflated Oh simmer down, simmer down Calm down my dear friend Don't get stranded on things Don't get lost on the brink
