Limousines + Laserbeams 03:39

Run Get those high-heels on We’ve got all night till we’re done Its gonna be a marathon Sense How the music transcends Dance all night till it ends Later we’ll make amends Pull yourself Up off the bed Ignore your phone (Ignore the dread) Don’t tear that thread Sleepwalk while Your wide awake What’s one more Heartbreak Yell Ears still ring like a bell One more story to tell Catch your breath for a spell But can we truly know How far will we go? To quench the fire down below

Big Sur 05:02

I don’t want to see you Walking up the hillside Pushing through the ivy, down there by the stream Or Kicking sand at low tide I can feel your shadow Its blocking out the moonlight And when the morning dew starts dripping down the nylon I’m briefly feeling alright Throwing dirt into the campfire Catch your denim on the barbed wire No matter where you stand the smoke still blows into you face It’s the universe’s satire You’re breaking down the hammock? You’ve left out the ceramic But when I catch the sunrise reflecting off of your eyes A scene so panoramic Heavy breathing on the incline Pass his hand along your hairline Heart is racing at his touch, never thought about it much Till you had to leave it behind

Headphones 05:30
lyrics

Perfume of stale beer Radio is dancing in my ear Only plays the songs I want to hear Turn your amp up bang the drums Can you give us all a song to hum? So you think you’re gonna be so someone? Anyone? CHORUS Put those headphones on The world drones on around you Three steps and you’re gone Just one more day to stumble through Andromeda Is that you rising in the eastern sky? Your stars that prophesied our long goodbye You couldn’t bother even tell me why? Can’t you tell me why? Polaris Enlighten me you know I need you now You asked me but I couldn’t answer how Wipe the worry off of my troubled brow Would we allow? CHORUS Put those headphones on The world drones on around you Three steps and you’re gone Just one more day to stumble through Antares Why is it you have led me so astray? I never thought that you would dare betray I had to ask you but you wouldn’t say You wouldn’t say Alrescha Shows over, heading home Tonight I just don’t want to be alone I just wanted a place to call my own No matter where me life led me to roam The seeds of karma have all been sown Is there no way that I could just atone? I finally done something you can’t condone You know I never wanted to disown My only home

Firefly 05:04
lyrics
Am I dreaming? Ozone tingling pressure, pushing down Socks are soaking Leaving muddy Footprints through your Mother’s kitchen floor Have you finished With your homework Await the bus in Mornings chilling fog Must you wait forever Here forever Bored forever after Watch the sparks Drifting down and Warming all around you now

Feynman 06:07
lyrics
Now its obvious to everybody, That the phenomena of the world are Evidently Irreversible By that I mean Things happen that don’t happen the other way Drop a cup and it breaks And you can sit there a long time Waiting for the pieces to come together And come back into your hand If you watch the waves breaking at the sea And stand there and wait for the great moment When the foam collects together Rises up out of the sea And falls back further out from the shore It would be very pretty As a matter of fact the demonstration of this In such lectures Is usually made by having a section of moving pictures In which you take a number of phenomena And running the thing backwards And then seeing all the laughter The laughter just means This ain’t gonna happen in the real world But actually Thats a kind of a weak way to put something Thats so obvious and deep As the difference between the past and the future Because even without an experiment Our very experience Inside Are completely different From past and future We remember the past We don’t remember the future We have a different kind of awareness About what might happen Then we have of what most likely has happened Apparent freedom of will And the sense that we feel That we can do something to affect the future But none of us Or very few of us Believe That there is anything you can do To affect The past

Hummingbird 04:33

Feel your path amoung the briar Flit around The distant seed of your desires Darting in But was it ever there? Or just a scent left floating in the breeze? Leave a mark, stake your claim Build your nest Or riot just to hide the shame Humming bird Your song hangs in the air You faintly feel it tremble in the wind Find your perch drink your fill Not a drop left to fulfill Didn’t mean to start a war Did you think you needed more? I just want you to know I did it for you A taste of nectar so divine More for me Just stay on your side of the line Keep them out Enough to go around But not enough to share it with a friend Make you move while they’re away Burn it down Or save it for a rainy day Take it out On those you love the most You only do what you must to survive

Helium 04:32
lyrics
Lives reflected in your eyes Seems we’re saying our goodbyes Just for a while Don’t be sad Know I’ll be thinking of you Wait my car will be here soon Brood in the glow of the moon Say your piece Before I’m gone Hope you’ll keep waiting for me Just 30 minutes to the airport Its an eternity Clutch it tighter as you feel it slip away Sit in silence for a while Dashboard counts another mile Streetlights blur Just outside I hope you won’t forget me Think of all the times we’ve had Trading stories with your dad What a day What a life Why did I ever leave you? Just 15 minutes to the airport Its an eternity Clutch it tighter as you feel it slip away Just 60 seconds to the airport Its an eternity Hold it tight but its already slipped away

Adderall 04:43
lyrics
Memorize Look for the answers deep inside Find the time Place your whole life upon the line Close your eyes We need you focused on the prize Gaze inside One lesson left to teach a proof to mystify Memorize You will not find you had The answer all along Find the time Rest your eyes, just for a bit Watch as the seconds tick away Fill the circles in Fill the circles in Play by the rules Its all thought out Just squeeze yourself into the box We’ve made a shape for everyone Its just a slight discomfort Don’t mind the itch Its just a thing We all feel from time to time You’ll get accustomed to it all But first we just need you to Memorize Pick me up Its just a thing that we all feel from time to time Put me down The carrot is just out of reach, stretch out those arms and grab it Fill the circles in Fill the circles in

Recliner 04:48
lyrics
I should have known Something was wrong When I would come home The smell of your cologne I can’t forget What should we do? While we’re here? I don’t know I don’t care Why should we go anywhere? Whats there to see? What was so incredibly Beautiful Sit in silence untill tomorrow Let’s gather all your favorite things We’ll make a bonfire of your love Don’t you cry my morning dove Just light the match Am I doing something wrong? I don’t know I feel I’ve tried most everything Turn my contempt to apathy What was so incredibly Beautiful Sit in silence untill tomorrow How did we get To disconnect I’d rather stay Its so comfortable at home Follow the link on the website Am I doing something wrong? What was so incredibly Beautiful Sit in silence Sit in silence Turn the TV on Lets gather all your favorite things We'll make a bonfire
