Work/Worth 03:54
lyrics

Work/Worth doors open up, like hungry mouths the feast gets served, the horde devours the digits loath, you do a count of what you deserve month in month out like sisyphus on a budget cruise finding long lost feelings in the mediterraneans go vindicate your bitter fate exuberant and crushed at once ah we're not trying to have it all just a piece of it, that's all blackened fingers, fidget souls we're just people made of faults at least so we've been told go take vacation, from your vocation could lose some pounds, you're loosing ground on who you'll be, when you'll be you lacklustre love, grate till it's true join the razzmatazz, husky words you cough mercenaries, hypocrisy go drink it up your bitter cup exuberant and crushed at once ah we're not trying to have it all just a piece of it, that's all blackened fingers, fidget souls we're just people made of faults at least so we've been told and i know just what you'll say before you even go and say it cause the numbers say that and i know just what you'll say before you even go and say it that there's two in four that and i know just what you'll say before you even go and say it with the chemicals and all that and i know just what you'll say before you even go and say it oh won't you go and shut up ah we're not trying to have it all just a piece of it, that's all blackened fingers, fidget souls we're just people made of faults at least so we've been told

When Boys Grow Up 03:27
lyrics

When Boys Grow Up if this is just another story about the good and the bad cop I'm not sure I care which one is landing the sucker punch I'm lacking the ambition for a better nutrition but that's not to say that I don't care about human kind don't give up I know that we're made of much more than these fast fading dreams when girls grow up they're told that they'll find love now I'm not sure just what that means if this is just another story of the good and the bad boy I'm not sure I care which one is dying the lonely one here comes another rendition of an old superstition if we shall all sing a song please make it a simple one don't give up I know that we're made of much more than these fast fading dreams when boys grow up they're told to toughen up now we can't feel just how it feels to be alive and to be scared to die but I'm not so scared when you're with me don't give up I know that we're made of much more than these fast fading dreams when boys grow up they're told to toughen up now we can't feel just how it feels to be alive and to be scared to die but I'm not so scared when you're with me I know that I could live a thousand lives but this one seems alright to me yeah this life is just fine by me oh this live it's alright by me

As If This Never Was 04:02

As If This Never Was Nothing that I did was right I'll never change you and you'll never change me so long, so long Just another time had you bouncing on my mind but there's no way back forth Just another day had our story on my tongue but there's no way to tell the skies above from hell So come on, come on, come on just leave these tears to roll Now come on, come on, come on there's nothing I can do if you feel alone Yours was just another face I got used to have around but that was not to say that it would stay that way One day the sun will burn us out as if this never ever was and who are we to say that love should not be that same way So come on, come on, come on just leave these tears to roll Now come on, come on, come on there's nothing I can do if you feel alone Nothing that I did was right I'll never change you and you'll never change me so long, so long Every way I faced was back I never change you and you'll never change me so long, so long

Infinitesimally 04:18
lyrics

Infinitesimally Preconception's footsteps follow me Cheshire cat whispers from its tree not one piece is the place that it's supposed to be Our canned fruits of sin dusting on our shelves these late autumn dreams, they keep me tied to my bed I still wanted to tell you what a good time I had Well nothing was the way that it's supposed to be, but everything it was perfectly fine you see When nothing has a place, everything is in its place, these things won't ever be that way that they should be yet somehow we, now somehow we See patterns in the shades of giants that precede our roads they cross and twist infinitesimally and somehow we, now somehow we broke free Your father was a soldier, conquering the universe your mother never bothered to defend you now my eyes they trace your frailty Like lycra catching thunder, wrinkled hands entangled in a storm you're close now, come and follow me Where nothing is the way that it's supposed to be, but everything it is perfectly fine you see When nothing has a place, everything is in its place these things won't ever be that way that they should be yet somehow we, now somehow we See patterns in the shades of giants that precede our roads they cross and twist infinitesimally and somehow we, now somehow we broke free baby you just always care too much baby you just always want too much baby you just always need too much baby you just always talk too much
