One day it started tumbling down One fall and the Spring green all turned Brown Our Rose Gardener stopped tending to her Because the weeds ignored his pleas and pulled him to the ground So, I've stopped praying hard to get And it worked Put a cast on a useless hand that can't be cured Taking care of the caretaker is hard to get But, she fell and he died I've aged a decade in a year But it's finally alr-- The Gardener took his final breath Exhaled and we inhaled what he left Two years gone by, and we tend to her One of my fears: three, five, twelve years How long she can hold on So, I've stopped praying hard to get And it worked Put a cast on a useless hand that can't be cured Taking care of the caretaker is hard to get But, she fell and he died I've aged a decade in a year But it's finally alr-- I've stopped praying hard to get Things still changed, it makes good sense I've stopped living in my head Got a partner and it's better We're not unique This kind of thing is more common than her disease And I still yearn A fall in Spring turned siblings into acquaintances who schedule things And I still yearn And I miss them more than I miss him And I miss him But I miss them And it seems I've arrived I've aged a decade in a year, but it's alright Because I feel good, I feel good We're all on this ride And there's no grand design, it's just... Fall in Spring killed my old dead self

Dust Up 03:05
Hey! We never thought we'd see you Help! There's one thing we want, please will you Lower him from the living Like Lazarus, but opposite Please baptize this orange with fire Pain, it doesn't have to hurt much Just make sure it's permanent Don't infect him with leprosy Or make him blind cuz he should see It's not petty, we just want orange gone None of that New Testament softness Go Old Testament on his ass Lower him from the living Like Lazarus, but opposite Cuz if you did we would not have to pray for it to be Don't make us wait for natural causes

We're meant to be, but not what I meant The drive home is the only time to vent And sing 'Wouldn't it be nice' while I add distance to his distance I can't leave, but I might I got outnumbered When it was me vs you Colder than eyes Staring back at me when I propose While we're out of tune I said too much, and then not enough It's more likely that these walls would talk He wrote a letter because letters can't form words inside his mouth We'll take a break, to shake him awake I'm like an ocean, he's a lake And if my dam breaks there's a chance that he'll just quietly fade away I can't leave, but I might He's growing up at 35 I got outnumbered When it was me vs you Colder than eyes Staring back at me when I propose While we're out of tune No sign of life No sign of light No sign of flight inside those eyes Too tired to try We tried to tire each other out, but why? I'm not leaving But, I'm thinking I might leave before 3-0 I got outnumbered When it was me vs you Colder than eyes Staring back at me when I propose While we're out of tune

Regret 03:34
Angels in my apartment Sent them home to their guardians One of these days, I'll have a guardian too Demons I was resisting When I stopped believing, they stopped existing One of these mazes might lead to something Wandering aimlessly with a chant saying We all know where we're going Follow us, or you're going to regret--we get it It's the one thing required for survival I feel no different without it None of these pages breathe like they used to Wine has turned back to water Miracles seem to have gotten so much softer One of these mazes might lead to something Wandering aimlessly with a chant saying We all know where we're going Follow us, or you're going to regret--we get it We all know where we're going Follow us, or you're going to regret--we get it

The Smith 03:48
Well I once was a little boy Dirty shoes Searched for treasure with little toys, but found no loot 'til I knelt down In 10 years I'll make proof... or will I? So there once was a little tribe It's here in gold plates that were filled by these hallowed scribed Or was that me? Or was that you? They're feeling so confused They think I'm proof I might be... They follow me Because I'm convincing Myself to be The leader they need to believe Now that I'm a grown man I fold my hands, and pray I am Like Abraham to all of them It's true Because they say it's true I'm a dead man They follow me Because I'm convincing Myself to be The leader they need to believe If it worked back then Then why not now? But when I'm gone The dirt will prove me wrong

Killing everyone in sight is so easy And 'freedom, freedom!' is what they say When we're shot I'm so bored Just another... Mild mass murder, mundane massacre! Change can wait Let's all mourn first... 'Thoughts and prayers' means they just stuffed their ears! He shot a crowd in Vegas, just to watch them die They all said we'd see changes, then hung their heads with a smile Maiming everyone in sight is so easy And 'freedom, freedom!' is what they say When we're shot! I'm so bored Just another... Mild mass murder, mundane massacre! Change can wait Let's all mourn first... 'Thoughts and prayers' means they just stuffed their ears! Shoot 'em ups and a lack of Jesus Aren't the reasons for these killings We just need to cut their arms off Cut the arms off this beast 'Thoughts and prayers,' until it's theirs Make amends to the Second Shoot 'em ups and a lack of Jesus Aren't the reasons for these killings Cut their arms off, cut their arms off Cut their arms off, cut their arms off!

Live to Tell 05:01
In time I've wondered... What if I'm just wildlife? Hmmmm But, when I die I hope I can live to tell the secret in time I've realized That we're all just painting like we know the art All these tradition auditions And yours got the part But, when I die I hope I can live to tell the secret
