1. You're pickin on pennies and pawns You tell me it's wrong, Call me a liar. . .Call me a liar You're violently trying me out I feel like a mouse You eat me alive. . . eat me alive You're glad that I'm really sad too Too bad that you self-sacrifice. . .half of your life You're glad that I got the maddest eye Like the saddest child, Just how you like. . .just how you like CHORUS: Pick up those, Shiny Round Pennies you found, Perfectly good, perfectly round, but you put em down. . . back on the ground Why'd you do it man, said you're too good for them, but ain't that a sin? Aint that a sin. . . 2. Wasted in tasteless greyest dawn, goes on and on and on outta my head. . . outta my head Your broken heart stake, arrived too late, late for the grave, tore me to shreds. . . just like you said Your love never budges at all feels like a wall drives me insane The world is burnin down oh yeah my girl she's learnin how I ain't gonna change. . no way no way,. . ain't gonna change (CHORUS) 3. Now aces are blown and I'm all alone out on the road dead in the dust. . . dead in the dust Sailors are floating along hear em moan and groan over the crust. . . like we discussed Love light is fading away and it's haunting my days breakin my will. . . breakin my will Namelessly toil, foes unfoiled blood still boils, ready to spill. . . ready to kill (CHORUS)

Vinerule 04:46
lyrics

1. Come on now and walk upright, with me Scare yourself for a fortnight, you'll see And whittle away the reasons, with me Fiddle away the seasons, are free No infidels and believer's, the same Hammerstone plain deceivers, bring rain You sabotage jungle secrets, insane Your camouflage angel outfit, ain't changed Your camouflage angel outfit's the same Cuz nothin can scare the hopeless, I know And nothin can tear the hostess, it shows You understand no one's nonsense, mm hmmm Appetite waits impatient CHORUS: Goin on down where the Vinerule goes, Knowin just what the Vinerule knows 2. So remember just what I told you Tennessee went to scold you Just like I had told you And Centipedes are beneath us yeah Centipedes are relentless yeah Centipedes are so reckless Oh don't you know they'll defeat us You had ripped off my canvas And soldiers marched through Kansas And nothing was in man's trust And nothing can make me feel right Heaviness dead of that night You've been bred on moonlight (CHORUS)

Eagle Eye Firefly 04:42
lyrics

1. I just don't know, If I can make it in the sun I just don't know I see a tiger with a spider tongue It seems to me Lost the river in the rain It seems to be Sold your story to the man CHORUS: I guess that must be why They call me Eagle Eye Firefly I guess that must be why They call me Eagle Eye Firefly Flyin so high, up in the sky About two hundred thousand eyes Combined but still I'm blind, all right 2. So obvious Like a tack upon the floor So ominous Like a voice behind the door It seems to be You were walkin with the fat man At twelve fifteen That's when you stabbed him in the back man (CHORUS) 3. This howling wind Feeling silence and the frost I'm here again At the start where I left off These endless fields Seem to follow far behind Don't wanna feel I just watch the angel die

outta my tree 05:13

1. Leave me with, no promises I won't resist, I won't insist I won't insist existence is real Leave me with, no promises, I won't expect, I won't resist, I won't insist existence is real Sing along, with Farah Jones You're not alone, You're not at home Big know it all, you don't know how it feels CHORUS: You're pushin me down Where you don't care to be You're pushin me around, til I'm fallin outta my tree 2. I can see, that people need A reason to, survive the pain, and rearrange, what can't be changed it's true And I can see, that everyone, is lost upon, the blackest dawn My work is done, my soul is gone out to you And I can see, that people need A reason to, forget the pain, and rearrange, what can't be changed it's true 3. Happiness and misery, Ain't new to me, you can't disguise Your lazy eye, so cold and dry and blue Have a drink, don't try to think They're burnin up, your type of luck I know that's what, might break you right in two (CHORUS)

breakdown 05:22
lyrics

1. Lies are illusions of Blend in with babyboys And bad guys are really just overdue camauflage And tailors were sown before And tailors went home on shore And sailors were jealous when Your grandfather couldn't swim And jellyfish wanna float Abide by your rules no more The seaside is paradise Well that's just a feeble lie Killing is everywhere It gets in your tangled hair It makes you forget the good It makes you feel like you should You're too weak to fight it now You break. . . You break down And then you break. . . you break down 2. So follow this line she said An arrogant stranger led An arrogant manger bled This citybound passenger O fellow soul murderer Unconsciousness burglar We answered the questions real How vague and obscure you feel We don't smoke wood at least I leave you to dance in peace You're pleading the men to sleep You're leading the men like sheep You break. . . you break down And then you break. . . you break down 3. Another addiction was Whatever we're listening cuz You're programmed to walk like cows You wait for the moment lost Too late and you're doomed because You're doomed to repeat it til Forever until Until you break. . .. you break down Until you break. . . you break down

who gets it 05:07

1. Enraptured then captured by childhood disease Tortured yourself now you're free. . . now you're free Some get the nerve to observe someone else Crying and laughing and givin 'em hell. . . give 'em hell No one can help me I'm cursed on my own, Kingdoms will come and they go. . . I sink like a stone A man can fall hard on his luck don't you know Woman who left him so low. . . to bleed in the snow You dragged out your catapult, ricochet machine Doctors and nurses take cover and scream. . . lost in a dream CHORUS: In the end tell me who gets it now how about you? In the end tell me who gets it now how about you? In the end tell me who gets it now how about you? I don't think you do Don't think you have a clue 2. Freeway tenacity stuttering spits Oooh. . rip til it fits. . .til it quits Roadside attractions relaxing and nice Blinders in place I just spin on the ice. . . on the ice Legions are losing yet wear a brave face Teenage delusion has taken life's place. . .oh what a waste Day by day critizens float their false hope Led by a rope to the edge of the moat. . . it ain't a joke Cornfed abandon cut short by a year Consider yourself introduced to the man. . . the man in my ear Planners and scammers they in on it too Scramble for answers like birds in the zoo. . . me and you (CHORUS) 3. No angel's profane enough so here I go Spit out the empty cold images all in a row Lay 'em toe to toe Kids are presented with menus of death In compliance with future defiance They got nothing left Sideways asylums are waving goodbye Mislabeled sad creatures with tears in their eyes. . .I seen 'em cry Night signs aligned as your eyes open wide They mold you and scold you and fold you in two til you die. . . til you die (CHORUS)

Davey Mundane 07:03

1. Davey Mundane Yeah that's his name Summer or spring he still does his thing He's walkin so strange, Talkin with Jane Talkin so plain Stays in his lane Davey don't change Dont wanna make waves Cradle to grave, he's just a slave A slave to his secrets, a slave to his wife A slave to the kitchen, a slave to the knife But Davey Mundane Davey won't say What happened that day It's so far away But I know what you did When we were just kids Oh Davey Mundane, can you remain Safe in your brain, you're so deranged Davey Mundane CHORUS: Davey won't say but he left them behind Took what he could and then bled 'em all dry 2. Davey Mundane Yeah that's his name The same is insane diligent strain Eloquent brain He's free from the pain, He's numb in the rain He's raw from the chain But all tomorrows Are covered in sorrow Cuz Davey won't say What happened that day He broke all the rules Fooled all the fools They took him to task They pulled on his mask But Davey Mundane Don't rearrange Just give up your reign You know you're insane Davey Mundane (CHORUS) 3. Davey Mundane Jellyfish brain Talkin so plain Summer or rain Winter or spring Ain't you ashamed You're dressin the same Most every Day Are you sinner or saint? Can't be what you ain't But you never complain Think your safe in your brain Oooh you never would say Some sadness remains Your purity's stained Your sanity's strained Aw Davey Mundane, Hey Davey Mundane, Davey Mundane You fooled all the fools Followed their rules Pull it down tight Been drivin all night Cry in the woods You know you're no good Secretly fight Fight with your feelings You fight with the sea You're fightin with me You fight in the dark You fight to be free, You fight to be free You just can't get free, you just can't free (CHORUS)
