WHAT ARE THEY SAYING ABOUT THE AMPERSANDS?
TIME TRAVEL
Do you believe in time travel?
Do you believe we exist through time
It is impossible
What if I misstep and I've never born?
Another lonely dimension
one where I don't exist
And if this can't help you, I don't know what will
​
We're collecting dark matter
To convert the holes into traps
Then we'll tunnel around
Forget the paradox in all that we've found
Traveling through wormholes,
Well that's not for me to say
And if this can't help you, I don't know what will
​
Energy for radiation
It's a beautiful combination
Bend it, kick it, nothing is found
And the wheel effects of hanging around
Don't believe in the new high
We're all in holograms
And if this can't help you, I don't know what will
​
​
I DON'T MIND
So you talk to me
As if I haven't left the room
You know I never really cared
​
Those words you whisper too
Flooding all the shadows we despair
I felt the anger hanging by a thread
​
It's okay, I've got rain to wash away
I don't mind, the sunny days are all I know
Is it you or is it me I justify?
I don't mind, the sunny days are all I know
​
Try and smile now
When it's much too late because I know
Know about the things you've done
​
So forget those words
Those words that slapped me across the face
They hurt the most when they're not heard
​
It's okay, I've got rain to wash away
I don't mind, the sunny days are all I know
Is it you or is it me I justify?
I don't mind, the sunny days are all I know
DARKNESS AND DECAY
Hard for me to find a peaceful place in my mind
Hard for me to start but if I fall apart
Maybe it'll be okay
​
There's no graceful death for every wasted breath
Can't believe I've stayed both fearless and afraid
Of darkness and decay
​
If you could bestow
How the future would grow
With the devil I know and the angel of status quo
It's not like we're so Gaugin on Van Gogh
The master, painting the master, painting
​
How can I break free, it sounds so familiar to me
Yosarian and Boo in a funny deja vu
On evacuation day
HAPPY CAMPER
Falling, all I do is falling
Slipping on the sidewalk
Tripping over footsteps
Crawling, answer every call
But I can only stall
My inevitable fall-down
Training wheels are only training
Doggy-paddle potty
Baby steps and first words
​
Wonder, view it all with wonder
Wonder if I'll ever be a happy camper
​
I resign to pull back blind
I am fine, never you mind
​
EIFFEL
Eiffel, you are wonder personified
It's so amazing this can coincide
Eiffel, you are perfect symmetry
I wonder what if you shift polarity
​
Now I can't believe this incredible something
This awkward and dumb thing
This beautiful silence and staring
This mending and tearing
This splitting and pairing
Is this?
​
Eiffel you are what this chance became
Tried to check out, fell flat, eyes went lame
Would you see the Mona Lisa
And remember anything about the frame?
​
Now I can't believe this incredible something
This awkward and dumb thing
This splitting and pairing
This mending and tearing
Is this?
​
IT MAKES ME SMILE
If you're someone that I love
It's just a little late, a little late
And I try to hold it back
And hope it goes away, please go away
​
It's really been a chore
To stand aside for you, for you
But it seems as if my life's
Been leading up to this
​
It hurts more than you know
To watch you sit so near
When I can't care
I get the sense my world disintegrated me
Into this
​
Don't you want to be forgiven
Don't want you to be with me?
Don't you want to be forbidden
Don't you want to hold me near
But I know that won't be
SNORE
Green with envy, how you can be
Still so sound asleep
​
Jealous arms will hold you until
You are mine to keep
​
Snore
​
Softer falling morning calling
I will hold you still
​
Slow your breathing, dream of sleeping
Quiet wish fulfilled
​
Snore
STRANGE MONTH
This is consuming me, it's consuming me
Yeah it really is
It's all I think about, all I think about
Yeah it makes me ill
Maybe another time on another time
On another plane
​
Free world, darling you're a free girl
And everything you do
You know you want to do
It's not like I'm in charge of you
​
I feel so empty now, feel so empty now
Oh, disruptive void
Maybe I ought to go and I ought to know
That I bother you
​
Free world, darling you're a free girl
And everything you do
You know you want to do
It's not like I'm in charge of you
​
So many circumstances
The circumstances, they don't relate
I'm feeling better now, feeling better now,
Man but what a month
​
Free world, darling you're a free girl
And everything you do
You know you want to do
It's not like I'm in charge of you
GHOST (THERE IS A GIRL)
Time has stopped its carnal flow
Seized by hands around its throat
There is a girl, there is a girl, there is a girl
​
Logic, cease your reign on me
Thought and reason set me free
There is a girl, there is a girl, there is a girl
​
And my fortune lets me come inside my
Extra special all-important ride
​
Shadows fleeing from their fates
When her smile illuminates
There is a girl, there is a girl, there is a girl
(A goal, a guess, a gift, a ghost)
​
And the breeze that once had made me shiver
Lifts me up with arms as soft as clouds
​
SONYASAURUS
Sonya made it out, she could have been a boy
Got caught up in a mild melancholy state
Sonya made a mess, and someone cleaned it up
We'll tease her all about it when she's a little older
​
Time to rest, it's almost naptime
​
Sonya walked to class and all the neighbors clapped
And stood there in amazement she made it there and back
Sonya got an A and put it on the fridge
You got a golden star shining in the sun
​
Time to eat, it's almost dinner time
​
Never wanted more once you crawled through that door
I love the Sonyasaurus
​
Sonya went outside, she's playing in the park
She's running all around you, didn't she just learn to walk?
Sonya made a friend and took him to the dance
She got a limousine to take them there and back
​
Time to go, it's almost time to leave
​
Never wanted more once you crawled through that door
I love the Sonyasaurus
​
WINTERSPRING
Winterspring, my six-moon grey
All canary flown away
And left is only coal, the bitter coal
​
Winterspring, why you insist
Telling me you don't exist
When I can feel the cold, persistent cold
​
I was climbing up, you were falling down
Mental photograph pulling me around
You decide to keep, I will throw away
Whiteout snow in March brings a brand new day
​
Winterspring I bought you then
Followed you through sword and pen
Pretended it was gold and never told
​
I, too dumb to go, you, too scared to stop (fly)
Mental photograph, shiny purple top (high)
I will throw away, you decide to keep
Whiteout snow in March
I am still asleep (follows us like sheep)
​
Winterspring
LATE
It's getting very late
The sun is shining
I'm getting very tired
From all your whining
​
You're going down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down again
​
You're going round, round, round, round,
Round, round, round, round again
​
I don't care what you say about me
It's only fools who believe you
DREAMS AND DOING ERRANDS
The imagery of blindness appears before my sun
The cold and desperate longing
Of a real man for his gun
There's too much work to rest here
And it all remains undone
Your strange and twisted reason
You're having too much fun
​
Lock me out with talk about revolution
Take me in, let's write ourselves a constitution
Let us sing and dance and pray and frolic
In the rusty rain
The daydream stops tomorrow
We're getting off this train
​
Excitement of a young boy
When he thinks his dreams are real
A cat before a hurricane, a bear before a meal
So try to fly away boy
You're too young to catch my heel
Join the captain's love parade
I'll teach you how to feel
​
Lock me out with talk about revolution
Take me in, let's write ourselves a constitution
Let us sing and dance and pray and frolic
In the rusty rain
The daydream stops tomorrow
We're getting off this train
