Every town looks the same as the next Within these state lines at best Try to find yourself a home worth the drive Would it be rare to find an end Find the clones of your friends Leave them with the places you've been Location, location, location We all are just organic robots Chemicals and sparks beneath our frames Programmed into motherboard earth Equations compete for our patience Computers blowing up In synchronized routine But the calendar turns and The cursors still pulse on their screens Pretend that in the back of my mind I never worried once But even if you catch my lie You won't call my bluff We all are just organic robots Chemicals and sparks beneath our frames Programmed into motherboard earth Equations compete for our patience When we all burn down We'll just be carbon in the end When we all burn down We'll be carbon in the end We all are just organic robots Chemicals and sparks beneath our frames Programmed into motherboard earth Equations compete for our patience

pirouette 03:02
If I should wish the mirrors to life Your reflections multiplied On pointed toes and body's lines Move through hands italicized All in hopes that the feathers from your back Fallen for quills will write my name Dance across the lines on an empty page In pirouettes onstage Her bones broken so beautifully Rearranged in a disarray Even as our mother’s craft Failed to put so into place Penmanship in perfect form Strokes leaving the paper torn Twists up her words like a coquette Wound up in a pirouette

new years 02:07
You may have stumbled on top of me When I was sleeping on your couch But I was the one who was falling I was already down When you were crashing your bicyle I picked you up off of the ground I couldn't have been far away from you, love I was already down Tug at your skirt Tap at your shoulder Just to hold your attention Just for a moment When you never see me when you look around From your parascope atop your high horse Just beneath your nose I was always down

No matter what I say, don't stop No matter what I say, don't stop No need for safety words One for the lie and one to curse, My fingers were crossed I'll try to make you let go, I'll try but don't even loosen your grip Don't hesitate, don't blink, don't flinch, Don't buy in when I did And I'm convinced With the switch, we're evened out With the switch, we're evened out It won't be easy, no one said it would be But do this for me No matter what I say, don't stop No matter what I say, don't stop

halfhearted 02:01
Weigh in the pros Count down the days The cons pushed aside Waved to and fro Then went away You were so excited I'm sticking with the ones I know best But you can be so convincing Appellant for change, take a rest But you can be so convincing I couldnt get over the fact The weekends' emptiness I'd hold my tongue and play along Like i'd be fine Drift to the floor at your feet You cut your losses with your hair Sweep me up, won't you collect me again I'm sticking with the ones I know best But you can be so convincing Appellant for change take a rest But you can be so convincing I'm glad to see it looks good on you I'm glad to see you It's my turn, i've turned to you I'm sticking with the ones I know best But you can be so convincing Appellant for change, take a rest But you can be so convincing Tell them how you really feel It can't be unsaid Apologized, you cleared your head It can't be unsaid

double knots 03:37
Tonight she's had a few Got her feet still in her boots Careful laces became loose From her mouth, spilled out the truth Said I love you on the phone Laugh it off like its a joke No harm from it would come And no one will ever know The only one I'm fooling tonight will be myself If I try, well it can't hurt, but it probably won't help Double knots threw me off for a loop But I came full circle, back to you Spin me 'round 'til my face turns blue I will come full circle, back to you took my hand and went to bed I tried to sleep but never did I couldn't close my eyes So I looked at her instead By the morning she'd forgotten About the words we had exchanged And so we carried on as if Nothing at all had changed The only one i'm fooling will always be myself If I try, well, it can't hurt, but it never seems to help Double knots threw me off for a loop But I came full circle, back to you Spin me 'round 'til my face turns blue I will come full circle, back to you (Here we go!) Double knots threw me off for a loop But I came full circle, back to you Spin me 'round 'til my face turns blue I will come full circle, back to you I will come full circle, back to you

When all your childhood sits In an old shoebox in the closet For a size that supposedly fit so long ago Wrap with care in tissue, tuck away for safe keeping Suppressed it's best a secret Pressed inside the sneakers My toes were cramped and folded Like notes we had exchanged Corners bent, we cut them I'm sad to see them go We have outgrown our innocent skins And shed them from our bones We shed them from our bones We don't even know why our lives are spent Searching for our homes When it's right where we were born Housed a diorama, a gradeschool book report You said you liked the man taped inside the walls A world we had created with scissors, crayons, and paper I didn't think twice until now We have outgrown our innocent skins And shed them from our bones, We shed them from our bones We don't even know why our lives are spent Searching for our homes When it's right where we were born Right under our noses, Right where we were born We have outgrown our innocent skins And shed them from our bones... We don't even know why our lives are spent Searching for our homes... We have outgrown our innocent skins And shed them from our bones We shed them from our bones We don't even know why our lives are spent Searching for our homes When it's right where we were born Oh, how we've grown, How we've grown apart

Set off and running Carry the last of your legs I was made built to break Set off and running Fasten a longing excuse Let's not make this seem more charming than it is Set off and running Outlast the words I don't say Until your hear once and for all Set off and running A testament to the inside And I found all that is mine, but that is all
