Compartments 05:16
lyrics
Glad to find out What you're all about Saves me a lot of pain Shutter to think What they might say Steers me the other way Suddenly sink To a level that Brings me to my knees Part of my brain Set aside for.... Skewed thoughts like these Need to find out What we're all about Put us at ease Drowning in a Sea of signals Our worst disease Balance between Pain and beauty From what I see Part of my brain Set aside for.... Skewed thoughts like these Placed in compartments all on their own Safe in compartments all on our own

Snake Oil 03:29

So much to learn you'd think we would have So much to lose I think we should have It's nothing more than tall tales and old lore There's something more than blind faith to fight for So much to learn you'd think we would have So much to lose I think we should have If we'd stop telling those foolish stories There wouldn't be a need to save me If we'd erase those foolish stories We wouldn't be in need of saving May find our way and there won't be a need to pray May see the day when all of this will wash away So much to learn you'd think we would have So much to lose I think we should have If we'd stop telling those foolish stories There wouldn't be a need to save me If we'd erase those foolish stories We wouldn't be in need of saving

I come and go I sit and wait I bide my time I'm up, I'm low I stay up late Expanding my mind I come and go I sit and wait I bide my time I think too much and lay awake losing my mind At least we can fall apart together At least we can fall apart inside At least we can fall apart together At least we can say that we tried we come and go we sit and wait we bide our time We're up, we're low we stay up late Expanding our minds we come and go we sit and wait we bide our time We think too much and lay awake losing our minds At least we can fall apart together At least we can fall apart inside At least we can fall apart together At least we can say that we tried

A Phased Approach to Building Empires 03:31

There's a difference between What you show me and what I see Do you really want to go there? It's gonna be a rough ride Form a distance between What I show you and what you'll see Do you really want to go there? Let's go along for the ride The world makes it so hard For me not to be so odd Post Secret got nothing on me Got nothing on me Tend to do my best thinking When I've done a bit of drinking Do you really want to go there? It's gonna be a rough ride Tend to feel like I've been sinking Pump the brakes on all this thinking Do you really want to go there? Let's go along for the ride The world makes it so hard For me not to be so odd Post Secret got nothing on me Got nothing on me
