1.
Valhalla 02:54
No more Goodtime Charlie...We squeeze the blood from stone...Do you suppose, by chance, we overstayed the dance?...We overstayed our welcome here?...To hand ourselves to our demons...To bathe in lard and poison...Each wavering desire...is fuel to stoke the furnace...Let's hand ourselves to our demons...Let's bathe in lard and poison...It's fuel to fill the furnace...It's fuel to burn ourselves.
2.
Fair Weatherer on the sidelines of my erring...This view is curious...Fair weatherer, don't stray...Too much for casual conversation?...Do I tread the road unsoundly?...You've every opportunity...to leave me where you never found me...So, leave me where you never found me...Fair weatherer...given to your brief amusement...but when amusement gets to wearing thin...you turn around and walk away again...to leave me where you never found me...Just leave...No, don't leave.
3.
Hungry for the fixed sense...the vestige of arrival...where all roads lead to one plight...like inverse rails of sunlight...Onward, here and forward...in the weightiness of one thing...in the absence of those talents...that ease the out-of-balance...Two gravities repulsing...A walk in two directions...The process is unpleasant...Nostalgic for the present
4.
Innocent Bystander... sink me from the deep end...Save me from my last breath...Lay me in the light...Nurse me back to function...Feed me what you've gathered...Keep me in your wishes...and send me off to fight.
5.
The Evidence 04:30
6.
Spending 01:48
Spending my money for words, for response...I'm buying my time...I'm pleading my time...Undying words, though they linger in moments...I'm discounting feeling...on you, wasting rhyme...I'm dismounting feelings...On you, wasting rhyme...Through dim lit numb nights, I'm singing in past tense...A sucker for hope and my hope long denied...I'm giving my all for a glimpse of a little...This anticipation works less on my side.
7.
A clean split in two...An arrow in the darkness...a wayward bottlerocket...burning into starkness...To disregard my dues...and tangle my desires...I split myself another...I sever all my wires.
8.
Monozona 04:42
Send me back from where I came...Dying rock and brittlebush...Like arid wind from kitchen oven...Lazy, hostile dusk-'till-dawn...Never thought I'd see the day...From air too thick to work our brains...Just send me back from where I came...Down the dime and West awhile...Light like familiar song...burning off that crowded verdance...What could possibly go wrong?
9.
Water Song 03:53
Oh, roiling in the calm...The mounting of the wave...Its swelling and its cresting...Its collapse beneath its weight...Its violence is terrifying...when we confront it weak or small...but given absolute perspective...there's no violence there at all.
10.
Before all is said and done...call the dogs and piss on the fire...Make amends...Call your lovers...call your friends...The curtain's closing...Mend the fray.
