Lighthouse I 04:01
Lighthouse will guide you Overlooking miles and miles of hopeful facing all the soldiers of war, They fight for the atmosphere For the tenor around us If we let ourselves go and give in to their progress, There’s no telling what they won’t do, So don’t give in. The rules and regulations tell you nothing about how to live Just hold it in, hold it in, Suffocate the notion that there’s truth inside your skin, But what if you found that when you start to change the links of the chain, The most important lie that you tell yourself at night Is when you gonna begin your story? Lighthouse will guide you, Overlooking miles and miles.

Desidera 02:13
Desidera, Won’t you lie to me while I’m awake, It was just last year that you told me it would never be the same again. We met at the spread at the wake of your husband’s associate, Next to the bowl of the mushroom pate You said you were leaving and that made it okay As you took my hand Through the fire escape, Down the hatch, In the dress that you tore on your way down, The days and the years how they pass but i’ll always remember your skin in the moonlight, And the days that you told me your biggest successes Holding the phone too far from your lips And the day that you told me how it would end, you said, “The diagnosis is the same for us all, The only real place left to live is your heart”. Desidera, All i got left is feeling in the bardo. Those feelings can’t remember your name, So I wrote this song to hear you in my heart.

It all comes in to focus. The me is you, the you is me, Nothing stays the same anyway... Anyway, how are you? I’m doing fine. (And in the back of my mind) The constant distortion The valence of chances gone past The circuit of good fortune is going haywire. It’s going haywire It’s going haywire It’s going haywire Why are we here? How’d we forget when the feeling is clear? Open to fear, Fate take the wheel, Fate take the wheel.

Why doesn’t matter at all, Say the guru on the mountain. And i can’t shake the fall That the impurity reveals to us What’s the matter? Can this go any faster? Who is the master who makes the grass green? We hide inside a cave That demonstrates your ways to you Through the flicker of the flame The image of you is made Culture is not real Time ain’t real Money ain’t real And the best of our years are always here with you… Why doesn’t matter at all, Say the guru on the mountain.

After Awhile 02:05
Rumbling through the mist, The tumbling avalanche, After disaster, the sirens, Sing to me, Sing to me, Sing to me the silence, And after a while The deafening reckoning beckons you open to who you are now After the black curtain closes, Who is the audience auditing now? Holding the moment in all of our minds After a while, I can’t tell the difference, After a while, The moment all looks the same After a while, The hourglass and the sand, It all becomes again. The dying or the fist? How do i get first on all of the lists, How do i profit from all of the business potential in this? After disaster, the sirens Sing to me the silence And after a while The deafening reckoning beckons you open to who you are now After the black curtain closes, Who is the audience auditing now? Holding the moment in all of our minds After a while, I can’t tell the difference, After a while, The moment all looks the same After a while, The hourglass and the sand, It all becomes again.

Take a ticket, Tell me your old story, The way you’re always better than The things you shouldn’t do What words to say at what events And how that I should feel about your politics, You think you’re always at the center of this shit, Always at the center of this shit. I’m a natural disaster, Fate without a home, Who is the master Who makes the grass green? Willing myself to face the only god that I’ve seen. You deny every moment the thing that you are, The fear that you only exist in the present, The fear that’s inside that you think that you hide, Baby the whole fucking world knows it. You’re a natural disaster Fate without a home Who is the master Who makes the grass green? Willing myself to face the only god that i’ve seen.

Collider 02:27
I’m sick of myself and my big ideas, I’m sick of my life for nothing, I sit in the square with my eyes closed, Feel it coming, You always imagined me so fit and thin You’re the bowling ball and I’m the pin drop You’re the weather, I’m the Large Hadron Collider… Wear a helmet to the crash, The holiest of trash, Our memories, An effigy we take for granted. Goin to work each day to make ends meet In the days when we forgot the planet.

An Ode 02:43
It’s the thing that you happen to hold every time It’s the thing you forgot every time you go round It’s the thing when you focus becomes not a thing anymore It’s the light that you see through the crack of the door It’s your reason for your shape of mind The thing that when you look, you can’t find Thing and thought combine Every moment woven in time Woven in time.

I am singing a song to myself if only to make my world better, And if you join me, we’ll sing to ourselves, Alone, but we’ll do it together And in our aloneness we’ll find out the whole We’re called to the surface of morning So I am sing a song to myself, If only to make my world better.
