Posthuman 03:39
lyrics
What does it mean to be a posthuman man in a posthuman world if I can't go home with you? To have eyes, have teeth, have a mouth if I can't have you? What does it mean to have a codebreaking mind if it can't break through to you? What does it mean to be alive? What does it mean to be a vibrating being in a molecule sea if I can't get close to you? To have a satellite feed if I'm 3D looking at 2? What does it mean to be rowing this boat through a wormhole looking for proof? What does it mean to be alive? Out here alone I say, I say, I say I want to be a part of your world Thinking of you, you, you Cause my world starts with yours You make me want to say, do do do do, do do do do What does it mean to be a fragmented drive in a hard drive beating in a heartbeat beating on steel? To say this, say that, mean neither cause I don't have feel? What does it mean to be a spec in the eye of the dreamer if the dream's not real? What does it mean to be alive? What does it mean to be powered by love if I can't plug into you? What does it mean to be in two different places at the same time touching the truth? What does it mean to be the most human human if I can't be human to you? What does it mean to be alive? Out here alone I say, I say, I say I want to be a part of your world Thinking of you, you, you Cause my world starts where yours does You make me want to say, do do do do, do do do do

Sicko 03:45
lyrics
I could have it all and what did I do? I could have had it and what did I do? Well that was then, this is now, this is more than right now I'm going to be so happy with you I could be a sicko I could be the light We could be in trouble We could get it right Dying on the table lighting up the room I could be a way in for you I could be a hero I could be a thief I could be your poison I could set you free Dying on the table Lighting up the room I could be the way to the glory Burying bullets in the soil beneath our feet Burying the past cause of what it might mean Who am i, who are you, who are we but right now? I'm going to be so happy with you I could be a sicko I could be the light We could be in trouble We could get it right Dying on the table lighting up the room Headed for our moment of glory I could be a hero I could be a thief I could be your poison I could set you free Dying on the table Lighting up the room I could be your way to the glory

Break Us Up 04:08
lyrics
Never more than when you swore to me you'd heal the world for me did I believe in something Stopped caring what my friends would say They don't have any faith, they don't see you the way that I do So why would you break us why would you break us why would you break us up? (Why would you break us down) Why would you break us why would you break us why would you break us up? (Why would you break us down) I planted flowers in my skin for you Wore this gorilla suit I had such rare devotion Wrote a part for you in all my scenes Wrote you piano themes I had such sacrificial notions So why would you break us why would you break us why would you break us up? (Why would you break us down) Why would you break us why would you break us why would you break us up? (Why would you break us down) In the middle of a breakup there's no learning from a breakup There's no seeing what it all could mean, how better off you'll be There's only breakdown

lyrics
Lately I just want to get down (Now we're talking)

High With You 03:56
lyrics
I want to get high with you I want to get high with you Want to get so high with you we'll never get low And when I get high with you Gonna get so high with you Gonna get so high with you we never get low This world spins down around me every day They gave me scripts to keep me standing up straight Don't want to take those pills no more I want to get high with you I want to get high with you Want to get so high with you we'll never get low And when I get high with you Gonna get so high with you Gonna get so high with you we never get low They write these scripts to keep us standing up straight Don't want to watch those shows no more I want to get high with you

Slave Name 04:08
lyrics
I saw you crying in the chapel praying through your tears waiting on the lord waiting there for years You said his love was like a sunset burning through the floor always disappearing coming back for more You're not alone But you're not like me You're not a slave But you're not quite free You're not at home but this world is not a home your name is not your name You're not alone and you'll never be I saw you whirling like a dervish smiling like a king flying on your carpet smoking from a leaf You said this world was always storming and that life is but a squall tearing off your ceiling breaking down your walls You're not alone But you're not like me You're not a slave But you're not quite free You're not at home but this world is not a home your names is not your name You're not alone and you'll never be That's my slave name That's my slave name

Split Saber 04:29
lyrics
I'd rather be wrong if you'd rather be right I'd rather make out with you some other time some other night i'd rather get real if you'd rather get fake i'd rather get down if you'd rather get saved Soon i'm foaming at the mouth and barking up a tree I'm shaking like a leaf I shall not be released I'm clinging on to power and counting down the hours I want to let it go It's funny the way you can develop a taste For writing the laws when you'd rather write songs It's funny the way I keep stowing away Sneaking on ships at night, leaving this world in my wake Soon i'm barking up a tree and dreaming of the beast I'm shaking like a leaf I shall not be released I'm clinging on to power and counting down the hours I want to let it go I no longer hear the falconer I no longer hear the falconer

Seeker Song 04:41
lyrics
I've been seeking a city that I'll never find I've been planning an escape from a state of mind I've been rowing a boat through a sea of light Been spitting at storms, all bark, no bite I've been walking on water if I don't look down learning how to let go, learning how to drown I've been spending my money on what makes me week spending all of my hope on impossible dreams I've been angrier than most more thoughtful than some I've been hungry and full been smart, been dumb I've been windshield fluid in the super white snow I've been all dressed up no place to go
