Fire is an Alien 02:57
lyrics

i've seen you squirming around and i don't believe that you don't know there's something louder than sound in the trench of your orange glow desperate for air to breathe you sputter and wheeze for life and the quiet fools who don't believe don't see the intent in the strife you don't fool me fire is an alien i've seen the blues of your eyes and i don't believe you don't see me there's truth behind the lies in the hiss of your angry screams desperate for air to breathe you sputter and wheeze for life and the fools who don't believe don't see the intent in the strife you don't fool me fire is an alien you don't fool me fire is an alien

Drones 03:04
lyrics

more more than they know we walk around outside just looking upward moving slow warriors of night time thoughtlessness we grow and shed our last year skin as we go tracking the holes in the sky and taking notes calculating the shortcut paths they float those drones up above that hide the cold dark sky lighting it up to turn our eyes aside we won't wake you up we promise promise to be quiet in our work we won't we won't wake you up we promise we promise we won't we won't wake you up we promise promise to be quiet in our work we won't let through your doors all our searching secrets our starlight wars will stay outside more than they know we walk around outside just looking upward we won't let through your doors all our searching secrets our starlight wars will stay outside fingers crossed that someday you might show up noiseless in the morning blow down the drones and stay outside

move over now I am a wakeless boat you could be drowned in the folds of my trench coat for all I know I won't follow your conga line I don't know where it goes and I wont find out I won't sign a word that I wouldn't shout my grass is green it comes through a hole in the wall being pumped out by a machine but it's sticky sweet and I can't say no or I won't say no cuz honey even so, who would know don't smile at me I am a fuseless bomb you could be buried behind the old corn farm for all I know I won't follow your conga line I don't know where it goes and I won't find out honey mine is a stubborn and burdensome doubt our grass is green it comes through a hole in the wall being pumped out by a machine but it's sticky sweet and we can't say no or we won't say no cuz honey even so, who would know

Aquarium 04:02
lyrics

pastel figurines faces painted sideways on our circles shortening but simple shapes have simple needs maybe under the rocks working the corners high a new world twice the size until comes time to feed life delivered from above to quiet the ravenous ones our mirror labyrinth shrinks again slick and silvery skin caged in the pale king's palm a chill revolting touch our god is not our friend stay away from the walls don't let them see you keep away from the walls if you have anything left to lose stay away from the walls don't let them see you keep away from the walls if you have any choice left to choose

Wait a Minute 02:39

when I reach the top I'm jumping I don't care how high this tree climbs tall I'll fold my arms across my thumping chest I wonder how far I'll fall wait a minute I don't think I want to wait a minute I closed my eyes wait a minute, wait-wait a minute I changed my mind so close now I almost see you just beyond the canopy I am reaching through wait a minute I don't think I want to wait a minute I closed my eyes wait a minute, wait-wait a minute I changed my mind I wonder how far I'll fall wait a minute I don't think I want to wait a minute I closed my eyes wait a minute, wait-wait a minute I changed my mind wait a minute I don't think I want to wait a minute I closed my eyes wait a minute, wait-wait a minute I changed my mind

so you caught a big wave almost desaturated your bubble skin so buoyant for the flood you hope doesnt come you hope but you'd be fine with it oh you'd be fine with it yeah you'd be okay yeah you'd be fine with it you don't care you don't you have your own way so you got a bad taste from someone else's attempts well if you won then what do you want you don't want that no you don't but you'd be fine with it you just stay alive you just stay alive nobody else is on your mind no you just it wouldn't be such a waste if no one else can swim up you're better off so much better off without them around without so you'd be fine with it oh you'd be fine with it yeah you'd be okay oh you'd be fine with it you don't care you can't you have a bullet brain you crest above the last wave almost desaturated your bubble skin still buoyant for the flood you wish hadn't come I guess but you're alright with it you just stay alive you just stay alive nobody else is on your mind no you just stay alive
