gather up the facts, study the code piece out the puzzle, shoulder the load if you step out and make your claim gonna be times you call in the rain we shroud our doubt, hidden in pledges our cries deflecting sideways glances clear reflecting crystal edges break barbs and locks and chains and fences we took our chance, we took our test look at us dance dance dance in our mess ideas are cheap and so is trying nobody cares if everyone’s lying that makes us free to work while seeming like our scribbles have some meaning through it all we have one duty don’t get confused by pointless beauty down in the void there is a core deep in the dark there is a door it’s our mess we’ll dance if we want to and we want to

A future In small room Large heart enclosed A future Wondrous in length and corpulence Needless to thee repeated

What an awful day When the judgment comes And the sinners hear Their eternal doom At the sad decree They'll depart fore' Into endless woe And gloom I'm paying now The penalty The unredeemed Must ever pay Though for help I cry It is all in vain For alas I'm doomed Fore' If I could recall All the years now gone for my savior's cause I would spend each one But they ne'er again Can to me return And the task it is left undone Oh I realize but alas too late what a dark mistake all my life has been I refused his love with a various heart and I must pay the price of sin

Pink Cloud 02:39
blush fog flush mist rose puff ruddy gloom coral smog fuchsia gloam salmon half-light honey billow chrome film cream frost lemon elements xanthous atmosphere bisque soup saffron brume blond thunderhead golden mass sandy horde buff heavens ivory sky tawny aura champagne mood ash weather fallow presence when we’re barefoot with sweaty necks and citronella, grass-stained soles and swimsuits, late june, the sun makes us crisp then burns the sky there’s no use measuring anything, anymore our lives get carried off by a pink cloud brass temper tangerine whim apricot condition cantaloupe soul copper humor glowing demeanor blooming ambience dahlia melancholy chestnut space hazel milieu rust climate sanguine medium inflamed spirit bloodshot vibes back at the house old photographs go unnoticed we change clothes together speaking low in a gray room I can’t feel time passing and I can’t remember the exact color of that pink cloud

Peg and Awl 02:47
In the year of 18 and 1 pegging shoes was all I done hand me down my peg and awl In the year of 18 and 2 pegging shoes was all i'd do hand me down my peg and awl they've invented a new machine prettiest little thing you've ever seen lay me down my peg and awl In the year of 18 and 3 that new machine it set me free throw away my peg and awl

I'm sure that the most recent is a great idea for a great game and the best of all of other games but it's all the best for the best of all time The best way for me is when you're not so sure about that and then you're not sure if you're going nuts The best thing is when you're trying not to be happy I'm sorry for you but you are my best friends I'm sorry for you that you can do it I'm not so happy about the feeling that we could be the one who had a problem I'm not sure that I would like to work with you and I can make you feel like a better friend and then I just want to talk about it all the time I'm not so happy about it but it's still not working and it's just not working at the end and it is very very fun to play and it works great

Day Out Now 02:05
day day out day out now out now now like such silence like soaking till swollen like new bedsheets crisp as falling snow like a tightening throat like knuckles cracking like wool holding a charge from tapping tongue your syllables surrender to the verbs we slowly render

I broke you down You broke me back I broke you down You broke me back I broke your code You broke mine back Simple machines Easy to hack now we take turns out there beyond reach as the body that was caught in the breach that opens in love

Duke for Joi 02:05
14.
I can see the individual who is not even on the ground I can do that for you but you don't need it I can do so many things I have never been I can see you at all the times you are nothing but you The new version is not very clear The new one is a little bit old The new version is not a great idea for the individual The new one and I love you so what is the next song I can see you at all the times you are nothing but you I can see you at all the times you are nothing At all the times you are All the times you are nothing But you The gallery is also an option for me to be on point The gallery of the new past The gallery always has the new look on it The new past I can do that for you but you don’t need it I can do that for you but you don’t want it I can do that for you I can do so many things I have never been I can be so many things I can never have I can do so but I have been so I need a little bit of my mind right now I need a little more than my time allows I need a little more to feel I need a little more to find I need a little bit more than time this time I can do so much better than the otherwise perfect one I can do so much better for the next one, I can do so much more than this if you can show me what to see I can see you at all the times you are nothing At all the times you are I can do so but I have been so
