1.
On and On 04:55
sitting on the fire escape watching satellites fly by thinking on both time and space as the world passes by laying by the burning lake counting wings on dragonflies the stained-glass spans reveal our fate as the world passes by on and on through endless flames like the smoke in the sky we'll rise on and on through endless flames like the smoke in the sky on and on through endless waves like the tide we'll rise in time
2.
Kaleidoscope 03:28
i'm floating new i was tethered backwards undiscovered hues explode in my eyes i weathered you my view was fractured unraveled truths reveal the through line i'm turning through perspectives used i'm coming to a second meaning as i tumble through messages confused those messages I confused i remember you i remember you i remember you do i remember you? oh i weathered you yeah i weathered you now i remember you i remember about you i'm turning through perspectives used i'm coming to a second meaning as i tumble through messages confused those messages i confused kaleidoscope, i'm through with you
3.
Success Is 03:50
success is who you know and i don't know you success is full of holes and i can't control you the less i know of you the more I feel true well what am i to do? i measure worth with you can't cut you loose success comes on its own or it owns you success will not be shown until it's coming untrue
4.
Soft Light 03:21
soft light through the window walls wasted with nostalgic hues shadowed outline of the willow i saw things that were gone too soon memories with you just out of view a certain shade of gold hiding the unknown a bolder shade of blue uncovering the truth
5.
Dream SY 04:00
in a dream, a message clear write it down before it disappears the hazy words i whisper into my phone in hopes they comfort me when i'm alone are they the words my mind projected on the backs of my eyes? did they originate in forgotten songs from another time? how long until they become lost in time? should i have left them there behind closed eyes?
6.
fall in love with the windows up singing arias in the garden of cleaners smelling the flowers from martin's afternoon of planting azaleas and echoed poppy blooms
7.
armistice day every page of my notebook it's coming down to the wire it's coming down to the wire my feet are on fire everything is on fire armistice day every page of my notebook
8.
Big Arcade 02:29
i'm not the one with the big arcade, no i'm not the one i'm not the one who will not behave, no i'm not the one i'm not the one who can try to save everyone i'm not the one with the big arcade, no i'm not the one but in the end it always seems to come back to you let's not pretend that you don't seem to have a clue you... i'm not the one with the big arcade, no i'm not the one i'm not the one with the big arcade, no i'm not the one
9.
Done Before 02:34
a note to non-believers sent to the wrong receiver it's already been done before a web spun 'round the weaver success would never greet her it's already done before i wanted to walk alone but the friction formed a fall i wanted to have it all but the fiction caused a war it's already done before it's already been done before
10.
Hourglass 04:28
afraid as the colors all explode into view a sparkling spectacle, one hundred bright hues prepared for a miracle, but don't know what to do with a rapture so terrible, an ending so true turn the hourglass what more can we do? break the hourglass i'm reaching for you...
