Belonged and Unending The path that leads to sea It requires you to leave your life Deaths Humanity For the kind that glistens Unthinkable to me When blessings surround you and Ashes to Breathe When blessings surround you and Ashes to Breathe Breathe Content and Velvet Pushed you to the crowd To the kind that listens Ancient Trees and Flowers What once was a curse Now is paradise And scorched earth remains That's what we found That's what we found That's what we found

Cold at midnight We'll abide Like fools in summertime Boredom rear adjust the shutter Crack down Pleasure Highway Radiation Pleasure Highway Make our way to Monterey Ride sweetest canyon dreams Hike through my memory and Urgency Pleasure Highway Beachy Fathom Pleasure Highway Pleasure Highway Smokey mornin' Pleasure Highway Seaside boil undertoe A rope of angels free Approach the highest bridge Pleasure Highway Royal Ocean Pleasure Highway Pleasure Highway Orchids splendor Pleasure Highway Pleasure Highway Richest summer Pleasure Highway

Jewel of a Man's Tongue The One I Love My Instincts Hover 'Bove a Shambles of a World Rich and Thorny A Good Neighbor To the Poppies and Seaside Forever with You We'll Go Where the Heart Grows We'll Go Where the Heart Grows We'll Go Where the Heart Grows We'll Go Where the Heart Grows You Must Stay for Dinner Share the Feast Your Eyes are Bright Spirits We'll Shed Wood Till We Die It's Raining in Summer Smoke Your Cigarette My Sweetest Answer I Give to You We'll Go Where the Heart Grows We'll Go Where the Heart Grows We'll Go Where the Heart Grows We'll Go Where the Heart Grows

Hold the lantern high To the warmly tinted sky You can see the swaying trees In your life-boated dream Multiplied in the bottom of your darkest soul When your bones rattle and creak Under heavy stick and stone Heavy stick and stone Heavy stick and stone Breathing out humanity On a crisp wintery cliff Your suitcase is filled With stiff wishes and hope When death grabbed my hand We'll say good bye
5.
She's the stillest one The silence grows With her age and Silver shade And with her absent soul That drags her bones and Wet eyed ego Her room the darkest womb Her dynasty Could melt her like stone Widest wheels Come alive When the rattlesnake starts to quiver Under Moon, Moon, Moon Boredom Suicide Her pen in hand Thought she had the will to die Scalding words come to pass Regardless of her clear eyed contract She viewed the vacant land While art holds her hand In that sparkling garden The queen's rule multiplied The richest wane Of her diamond in the Moon Moon Moon

Papery Haze 02:08
Time, time, time, time Oh but it takes time It takes time Walk, run, trudge Toward your fantasy But it takes time It takes some time Never give up (Never give up) Whatever you do (Whatever you do) Despite the trials that find you (Despite the trials) that find you (That find you) When mirrored gaze (When mirrored gaze) Views antique skin (View antique skin) You'll know you mastered what you could (You'll know you mastered what you could) Equity (Our equity) Is a funny thing (A funny thing) Don't let the papery haze in (Don't let the papery haze in) To hypnotize your vessels dream (Or hypnotize your vessels dream) When you're gone (And when you're gone) They'll acknowledge what you've made Through the papery haze Papery Haze

Ophiuchus 03:35
Molten mortal planet Deluded stars Riding toward the catacomb Winter never started Glittering freedom Marshy world Power hungry stardom The storm will see you through Ophiuchus Rotting and hollow Serpent god Brother Apollo Snake on guard In that garden of eden Obsolete In this constellation A new world defeats Ophiuchus
8.
American God 06:17
American God stalk the free world while speaking in tongue American God drink poison bloody communion American God we'll go toe to toe with your fear and delusion American God point the blame in the right direction American God American God's gone wild and it's spring break again American God bitter darkest stream of conscience American God try to lock away all truth and fact American God screen our world begin again American God Cello Solo We'll walk hand in hand defend all human rights Speak out loud together forever We'll build the dream protect it from evil Keep sharp eye for the abused Inspire the hypnotized and confused Because we need them too Oh join with me now as we cry out loud You're Not Our American God You're Not Our American God You're Not Our American God You're Not Our American God

Thumb the dumb And shipwrecked dreaming Droning noise War of coming water Thumb the dumb Our saddest hour Crushing white power Scale orange cliff Nightmare of existence Snows not fall'n to the ground Infesting alt minds right now Testify our drowning dreams of existence Thumb the dumb With cotton in his mouth With nightmare all around Morning star and bell Cotton in our ears Blowing smoke forever
