I project…
I project…
I project…
I project…
(You’re on)
I project my way to the center of the stage
I project my way through the center of the stage
I project my way to the center of the stage
The center of the stage…
I stand still at the center of the stage
“Stand still at the center of the stage!”
I stand still at the center of the stage
Watching… and waiting…
And oh!
The Statues!
Stand still at the center of the stage
Carry me on and show me the way
If we stand still at the center of the stage
Will I see what they’re grabbing?
And oh!
The Statues!
They’re alarming!
Oh The Statues linger on
Oh Statues, all around me
You’re all I have to carry me on
To the center of the stage
Carry me on to the center of the stage
The center of the stage
The center of this stage
The center of the stage
And Statues—become me!
I’ll bend to your form
Oh Statues!
Come surround me!
You’re all I have to carry me on
To the center of the stage
Carry me onto the center of the stage
The center of the stage
The center of the stage
The center of this stage
The center of the stage

Close
03:57
|

Were you
Touching and teasing, I linger inside
I had to walk around you just to get in your sight
But you’re leering at me sideways
Feeding, fueling, the fight
It’s left me wondering … which you is here tonight?
Cause I wanna know
(Are you close?)
If I have to go
You tell me
You tell me
Are you close?
(Are you close?)
(Are you close?)
Moaning and weaving, I bundle my pride
I want to push up against you
Feel you, claim you in my life
I walk forwards and backwards
I try, I try to walk upright
Well something’s off…
I lose, lose when I try
But I want to know… are you?
Before I go…
You tell me…
Are you…
Are close?
Are close?
When you close your eyes
Are you close?
And when I close my eyes
Are you close?
And when you close your eyes
Are you?
Are you?
I gave everything to live in your close
Anything to watch you smile
I gave everything to parade your pose
Fill you in your light
But now you’re glaring at me backwards
Saying I was never right
Don’t fish me out
Give me one more night
Cause I wanna know —
Tell me
(Are you close?)
I need to know
You tell me…
Tell me!
You were close
Tell me
Tell me you were close
Come on..
Tell me
You tell me you were close
Cause when I closed…
Cause when I close my eyes there’s you
And when I close my eyes —oh there’s you!
So if I close my eyes
Will you?
Are you?
Are you close?
Are you close?
When I close my eyes
Are you close?
And when we closed our eyes
Were you close?
And if I close my eyes
Are you
Are you
Still close?

What Does it Mean
02:52
|
|||
Somehow it takes longer
The search for meaning through the divide
I hear the angels
I see you laughing
You ripped off what I called “mine”
But longer through our memories
The stagnant torture won’t leave me behind
I want to hide but your shadow is growing
I shout out into the night:
What does it mean?
You’ve got me stuck on repeat
And how can I see?
When you’re stuck in my dreams
Now every day in the morning
I’m hunching over advice
I stand for nothing when I walk on the sidewalk
You push past me, your name up in lights
So why not go and celebrate
What you gave me when you pushed me aside
I’m losing but I’m coming back slowly
I loved you —wait, that’s not right…
What does it mean?
You’ve got me stuck on repeat
And how can I see?
When you’re stuck in my dreams?
And how should I feel?
Do I pretend it’s not real?
I rehash the spiel
You’re not here to appeal
It’s left me stuck in my…
Stuck in my, stuck in my
I’m stuck in my dreams
Stuck in my, stuck in my
Oh I’m trapped on repeat
Stuck in my, stuck in my
Yeah you’re stuck in my dreams
Stuck in my, stuck in my
Now I’m trapped on repeat
Stuck in my, stuck in my
You got me stuck in my dreams
Stuck in my, stuck in my
You got me trapped on repeat
Stuck in my, stuck in my
Got me stuck in my dreams
Got me stuck in my dreams
What does it mean?
You got me stuck on repeat
And how can I see
When you’re stuck in my dreams
Well you’re stuck in my dreams
— What does it mean?
Oh you’re stuck in my dreams
—What does it mean?
When you’re stuck in my dreams
I’m stuck on repeat
When you’re stuck in my dreams
I’m stuck on repeat
Ah What does it…

Starting and Staring
03:00
|
|||
Why?!
What?
Jeez…
Stay on my eyes
Stay on my eyes
Come on!
Stay on my eyes…
Stay on my eyes again
I’ve been swayed by the way that you balked
When you caught me staring
I’m…
Starting and staring!
You got me starting and staring
Now I’m starting and staring
Now I’m starting and staring
Pushing past the kids in the hall —
I’m starting and staring!
Up against the old bathroom wall —
Yeah there I’m staring
They pass by one by one
In the rectangle of myself
Up over one by one
I watch the stances pass
The reflective glass
Now I’m starting to stare
I’m starting to look me in the eyes
I’m starting to care that you’re not by my side
You got me starting and staring
You got me starting and staring
You want me starting and staring
I got you starting and staring!
Stay on my eyes…
Hey! Stay on my eyes…
Come on! Just stay on my eyes
Come on stay on my eyes
You better stay on my eyes again
You got me starting and staring … and stopping
Starting and staring… and stopping
Starting and staring… and stopping
Starting and staring and stopping
Yeah I’ll stop it —once you stop me
Oh I can stop it, if you stop me
Come on stop it and you’ll start me
And you’ll start me
And you’ll start me up again

I Won
02:41
|
|||
I walked around
I remembered that’s how your laugh sounds
I walked around
I remembered that’s how my head pounds
I sat down
I cried "Where does the time go?"
You laughed it off and you handed me my new headstone
And it read:
“You won!
Aw you’re having fun!”
Now I know you won
But you should’ve let me win one once
I walked around
I reentered into our old house
Fading fast
I look upon what you last grasped
You took me down for a lot
I gave myself — hey it’s what I got!
I never thought that I would be alone
Until I saw your face
Chanting chanting chanting
Out the refrain that you won!
You’re having fun
Now I know that you have won
But you should’ve let me win one once
Instead of with your
Pound! Pound! Pound! Pound!
Oh your laugh sounds like
Pound! Pound! Pound!
Yeah your last round was
Pound! Pound! Pound!
Oh your laugh sounds like
Pound! Pound! Pound!
How could you say you won?
And never gave me one once?
Yeah you’re having fun
But you should’ve let me win one once
Instead of with your
Pound! Pound! Pound!
Ah your laugh sounds like
Pound pound pound
Yeah your last round was
Pound pound pound
Oh your laugh sounds!
What kind of curse did you mean
when you said you won?

Weighing Me Down
03:01
|
|||
It did hurt and it didn’t hurt
Cause we did work
And we didn’t work
Taunting, the old blinds they blow in my face
I watched the sun come before I felt okay
I remember how you yelled at me
Said I hurt you every single day
Now I heard you’ve been crying
I guess I’ve been replaced
I wanted an out
Now it’s weighing me down
You gave me my out
Now it’s wearing me down
I’m rewinding every play from that night
I pulled me up with me
You pushed me back, you danced on my pride
I couldn’t live inside us — one half of your whole
So I wanted a lesson, I wanted to watch you crawl
I wanted an out
Now it’s weighing me down
You gave me my out
Now it’s wearing me down
It’s weighing me
Down down down down
I wanted you
Down down down down
I need you
Down down down down
Now it’s weighing me…
Now it’s wearing me..
Weighing me down
It wore me out
It wore me out
Weighing me, wearing me — you’re weighing me down
Weighing me, wearing me — you’re wearing me out
Weighing me, wearing me — you’re weighing me down
Weighing me, wearing me — you wore me out
It’s weighing me, wearing me — aw you’re weighing me down
It’s weighing me, wearing me — and you’re wearing me out
It’s weighing me, wearing me — it’s weighing me down
It’s weighing me, wearing me — it’s wearing me out
Weighing me, wearing me — then you weighed me down
Weighing me, wearing me — then you wore me out
Weighing me, wearing me — I’m wearing out
Weighing me, wearing me — it’s weighing me down
Weighing me, wearing me…
I wanted an out
I got mine now
Not for myself
It was this or else
You’d push me
Down down down down
I wanted you
Down down down down
I needed you
Down down down down
Then you weighed me…
Then you wore me…
Down
Down
Down

Produce (Package Pt. 2)
02:14
|
|||
(Why?!)
Why?
Why not?
Why?
Why not?
Late night produce
It feels trapped in time
Like inked-in old news
On a billboard sign
And I see bags of used shoes
Atop rotting rinds
They match the new hues
Of the awning’s design
Why?
Well why not?
Why?
“Package my goods! I’m saving the bags
We live the life they never had”
So I said “Thank you thank you”
“Thank you thank you”
“Thank you thank you”
“Thank you”
I listen to blues
Piped through the aisles
I squeeze a bruised fruit
Ignore a smile
I’m still feeling somewhere
It’s nowhere nearby
I cry gently in the checkout line
Why?
Well why not??
Why?
“Package my goods, I’m saving the bags”
I relive the life I never had
So I said “thank you thank you” as I relive my life
“Thank you thank you” when I relive my life
“Thank you thank you” as I relive my life
“Thank you thank you” in the checkout line

Happiest Thought
03:04
|
|||
I can’t fathom the streets without you
I can’t fathom these streets without you
Bouncing around inside my head…
It’s bouncing around inside my head:
“What is the happiest thought you’ve ever had?
What is the happiest thought you’ve ever had?”
I let it go
I’m meeting the avenue
I’m touching her skin
It’s falling from me
I don’t know where it begins
I’m kissing the avenue
As it breaks up in two
I don’t know where I’m going
I just know it’s slipping through
What is the happiest thought you’ve ever had?
Did I have it at all?
What is the happiest thought you’ve ever had?
Did I have you at all?
I don’t wanna know
I don’t wanna know — did I have it at all?
I don’t wanna know
I don’t wanna know— did I have you at all?
I stand 10 ft in front of your shoulders
When I’m wearing the right shoes
I’m 10 ft above and I feel below you
But I’m wearing the right shoes
And when this avenue
When the avenue
When the avenue kisses me slow
I’ve got 10 ft in front of my shoulders
But I have nowhere to go
So…
What is the happiest thought you’ve ever had?
Did I have it at all?
What is the happiest thought you’ve ever had?
Did I have us at all?
What is the happiest thought you’ve ever had?
Did I have you at all?
What is the happiest thought you’ve ever had?
Did I have you at all?
Now did I have it?
Or do you have it?
Did I have it?
Or do you have it?
Did I have it?
Did I have it?
Did I have it?
Did I have it at all?

Ground
03:07
|
|||
I’m picturing your ears turning down
Turning down at the sound crashing around
Our invasive species
Our clicks and buzzes
Maybe you’ve got your friend
Maybe you’ve got a cousin
Well I’ve got nothing that tastes sweet
Nothing to feel resounding in this glow
A ball of light I’ll never really know
Let’s see how it feels
Lying down
Touch me
Touch touch touch the ground
Touch me
Touch touch touch the ground
Touch me
You Touch, touch, touch the ground
Touch me
You touch, touch, touch
I’m too tired now
To think about
How the clouds just block my moon
To think about
if I’ve lost you too soon
But I want you to know —
I feel it when it’s growing
I want you to know
I can feel it when it’s growing
Real slow
In the ground
Touch me
Touch touch touch the ground
Touch me
Touch touch touch the ground
Touch me
You touch touch touch the ground
Touch me
You touch touch touch
Watch me
Touch touch touch the ground
Watch me
Touch touch touch the ground
Watch me
Touch touch touch the ground
Watch me
I touch touch touch
Touch me
And you touch touch touch the ground
Touch me
And you touch touch touch the ground
Touch me
And you touch touch touch the ground
Watch me touch touch touch
Watch me touch touch touch
Watch me touch touch touch
Watch me touch touch touch
Watch me and you touch touch touch
I want something sacred
Touch me touch me ground
I need something sacred
Touch me touch me ground
I want something sacred
Touch me touch me ground
I need something sacred
Is it
Is it
Is it
In the ground?

End Of The Year
04:27
|
|||
Somewhere out there you stay bare
Somewhere out there I still feel you here
Oh to enjoy being yours again
To wonder how I let you in
Could the memory come back to me?
Could the memory come back to me?
So I walked out towards the water
So I considered what we saw there
The fires done, the fires out
The fires done, I don't need help
The fires done— I’ve extinguished
Everything I asked for I got
Everything I wanted, I lost
Everything I asked for I got
but who won?
Once more I peek inside
Once more I look into your eyes
Once more I peek inside
And once more I asked — are you alright?
Are you alright?
Are you alright?
Are you alright?
Were you all right?
I don't lose time, it just moves forward
and I don’t lose my sight, it just stops working
I don't lose our time
It just moves forward in my mind
Well in my mind...
Are you alright?
Are you alright?
Are you all right?
I don’t fight for victory
And I don’t like to disagree
So I don’t need a winning spree
I just need to feel like me
But I was playing as if I were playing for us
No more playing as if I were playing for us
Cause are you alright?
Are you alright?
Are you all right?
Well the end is near
Of just our year
I guess the end is here
And you’re… somewhere
And you’re somewhere
And you’re somewhere
And you’re…
Farther out there
As I lie here
You lie there
So I lie here and think of somewhere
Anywhere
I lie here and I release your somewhere
I release your somewhere
I release — you’re somewhere
I release your somewhere
You’re somewhere
You’re somewhere
You’re still there
I’m still here
I’m still there
I’m still there
I’m still.
