Our second collection of internet-based collaborative oddities. We're more comfortable with the process of being an internet band, and hopefully it shows. We're very proud of this and hope everyone enjoys it.
If there's a song you don't like, just wait, the next one is probably different.

it's a long way to have to go
to complete a thought
we'll mull it over until the edges are round
but it seems our only hope
it's beautiful but it will gouge your eyes out
before the morning haze burns away
there are some things at a price so high
you can never get as much as you pay
time
were throwing it away
it's a little secret
that the years are made of days
it's never what it seems to be
you only see what you want to see
coffee shops and record stores
sidewalk cafes and herbal healing
superficial is the only word that comes into my mind
it's never what it seems to be
just take a step back and you will see
this sudden clarity
brings hope of things that will someday be
this town is made of two-sided tape
well it is a stretch i know
running away won't change anything
this town is a two-edged blade |

walked down an empty aisle try not to run
I don't know, I just need a moment alone
adventures at the grocery store
taking every precaution
the natives gazing shiftily
intentions impossible to gauge
distract them with magazines
and fifty gallon Sunny Ds
I just made it out alive
super bowl parties organizing
just outside
the hungry eyes upon me
it's just another fifty feet
don't fumble the car keys
so much animosity |

so many things from day to day
await the time you make
but weather dictates
it's game day awaiting rain delays
now it's coming down
to wash the wasted day
so we're counting down
the hours 'til monday morning
so many things accumulate
just pack them all away
save them for a sunny day
it's not funny it's trying to break me
now it's coming out
to wash away the gray
watch it coming now
to warm up the last moments of daylight |

now it's a long shot
you know, it's nothing special
we're going out on a limb
I know it's big talk
and I'm backing it up
with more talk
send your votes in
so I'll line them up side by side
and obfuscate where I need to
so you'll never recognize
the things we're trying to get over
this is a short one
so just get to the point
the harmony makes it sound right
so I'll line them up side by side
and round it off where I need to
hope you never pick up on
the subliminal
that's right
we're all down
that's right
it's not what you think
I've got my own ideas
just trying to keep this interesting
so I lined them up side by side
to see where the melody would take me
when I thought this up and threw the gauntlet down
successfully killed me an evening |
| 7. A Brief Dalliance
|
|
|
|
for a moment there it seemed I'd found
a hole that fit my head so well
what waits for me back home asleep
as we're laying on the floor
not talking now, music's too loud
and my conscience bangs on the door
it's time to leave and it's hard for me
but I knew it all along
I'm not meant for this a brief dalliance
if that's what you'd call it
looking back on that
I felt alive
I felt revived
and there's always that
time that was mine
and was mine alone
that can't be bad
and at last
glad to see it was just a miscommunication
sentimental knee jerk reflex self-reflection
I called it right away |

I'm only going to say this once
its not a phase, there's really no other way
to make it through each day
without at least disemboweling someone
just keep it locked away
they don't make a bigger cage?
don't stand too close
or it will tear off your face
come one, come all, queue up
to see the amazing one-headed freak
what made it this way
maybe radioactive waste
maybe drank pure rage
or the whore of Maybelline
don't you get lonesome?
who validates your existence?
now we've found our way
right back to the start of the conversation
I'm only going to say
it once again it's the only way
to make it through the day
without disemboweling you |

another year or two has made its way
past the goal tender and scored
you feel the same but know
it all has changed
while you were looking away
send the call out
to all your clever thoughts
achievements great and small
find your place
there was a time
when you held your fate
like a ladle full of possibilities
but crimson cynicism
is the brew you made
between the weather and cigarettes
it's the face of a stranger,
older version of you
looking back at you
when you're soul searching
in the bathroom mirror
don't spend too much time
checking it out
you're checking out
you're breaking up
cracking up
it's just your face
getting in your face
don't close your eyes
don't pretend to sleep |
