Peach 04:12
"you're perfect you're a burden i can't be myself with you, but i want to" "i love you but i don't want you i can't be myself with you, but i want to" i'm just a peach with a pit in my stomach i can't be myself with you to throw me out when i'm decaying just because i needed you "you're fine please get out of here because i can't be myself with you, but i want to" i'm just a peach with a pit in my stomach trying to be myself with you to throw me out when you don't want me even though i'm not ruined the lies you tell to keep me calm aren't helping so just tell me the truth

there was a boy who loved anne he sang for her, he sang she floated above his first verse writing her thoughts in the past of a parallel universe there was a boy who loved anne he sang he sang he sang of fire of death and of love he hoped she might hear him from her treehouse up above there was a boy who loved anne he cried for her, he danced for joy, sorrow and freedom as she tapped softly on his heart's drum the boy who loved anne he grew into a man but anne she remained a girl it's beautiful to be in love and it's beautiful to be alone he didn't know which to prefer as he left a flower on the gravestone

Buddha Bear 05:43
i walk alone on an old dirt road as the dust clouds rise around my feet i've been told by the not so bold that i will never find what i seek i happen upon a house withdrawn from the road that i've been traveling i waltz across the lawn like a white tailed fawn not aware where it's going or where it's been but i cast away the fear of not knowing my feet guide me slowly in once inside, i close my eyes my senses met with familiarity opened my eyes and to my surprise a forest had grown around me through the misty air floated a big brown bear reaching down to take me off my feet i screamed but no one could hear me but the creatures in their trees i don't wanna die, just wanna find what's behind when words escape from the place they reside the bear asked me "so, what do you need to know?" i asked him "am i enough?" in a low voice he sings "the mind is everything, what you think you will become" and he laid me on a bed of flowers and i drifted off to wake i don't wanna die, just wanna find what's behind when words escape from the place they reside i don't wanna die, just wanna find what's behind when thoughts escape from the place they reside

youghiogheny river, you carried me far tumbled across the white wash, my eyes seeing stars youghiogheny river, my senses collide instant synesthesia of a horrifying ride wash away my heart sunken from the start the stones they know no comfort the cold it knows no soul the waves they no no ceasing now the water takes its hold youghiogheny river, you've awakened me to the harsh of winter, deep inside of me wash away my heart sunken from the start the stones they know no comfort the cold it knows no soul the waves they no no ceasing as the water takes its hold when i reached the bank i held for dear life thought that i might see inside the remnants of my heart sunken from the start the stones they know my body the cold it knows my soul the waves they came without ceasing now the water takes its hold

what am i to do when nothing stays the same after a day or two the water roars around the bend the river rushes and the current never ends if i could look through time i wouldn't think about when you aren't mine but living in the fourth dimension restricts my view to a line the sun sets on the peak the trains crawl down their tracks numb to pain and grief the trees replace their leaves the water dries up but no one seems to see if i could look through time i wouldn't think about when you aren't mine but living in the fourth dimension restricts my view to a line what am i to do when nothing stays the same after a day or two what am i to do

Sleepy Song 03:54
i can't find you although i want to maybe i should sleep what would i do if i didn't have you to count all my scars kiss in your car feel all my pain sing in the rain my feet are turning back wet eyes rubbed black maybe i should sleep what would i do if i didn't have you to tear us apart try again restart sleep in your bed dizzy in my head

teach me all you know because someday soon you'll leave when you find your home i still won't like to sleep alone i'll teach you all i know because someday soon i'll leave when you sit at home i will be asleep alone we'll teach each other all we know because someday soon we'll leave alone

Wringer 03:16
climbing the hill to find you peacocks green and blue the bull is chasing me ride it so it can't hurt me crossing the fields to find you tall grasses wandered through overalls yellow, shirts read can't strangle her to death
