I hear you when you say it will surely come to pass And some day the first will be the last In my day I’ve seen some things I’ve seen glories of days in the past So I believed when you said in a dream That some day the first will be the last Well the fox is in the yard and the skunk’s in the road And everything is as it was foretold Piles of kibble on the drive A hundred other ones that won’t survive But these are the ones that followed you home So everything is as it was foretold Right up to the day that they put me in the ground I’ll wait to see what you have written down Always you had a way with words Plenty folks around here hadn’t heard But now that you’re gettin’ your ink in a barrel They’ll wait to see what you have written down Well there will come a day when you have told it all And the wicked are pressed against the wall Well come all you faithless deceivers Reveal at the end your true face Spend the last of the breaths that you have in this world Telling until you’ve told it all I have heard it said this would surely come to pass And some day the first would be the last Who’d have believed in these things But anyone who’d known you at all You’ve a way of impressing the cosmos and time So that some day the first would be the last

(C major) Get out of the city for the day Switching the mood, take the interstate Sick of the radio rotation Switching the groove to a better station Stuck in this dead end job Forget that sob story, find a new position, uh oh Out there in the C, I'm looking for a place to recover And a new sense of gravity (Eb Major) But change is hard to learn It's easy to return (C Major) Modulate me back to safety And let the C reclaim me Like its always done before Sanding the sharp down to settle the score If you worship a dead old god Forget that sob story, find a new religion, uh oh Don't drown in the C, I'm swimming up a third To the beautiful and sweet flat key of E (Eb major) But change is hard to learn It's easy to return (C major) Modulate me back to safety And let the C reclaim me

VS 1 breathing air that’s toxic while the vampires suck the life out of me and my confidence another wasted night it seems like static melodies are the only ones I sing gonna take this fucking song off repeat CHORUS 1 I am done with this story gonna go and find my pen write myself an epic journey time for me to shed my skin I am tired of playing this song I’m gonna live a symphony breaking through the monotone I’m standing where this road has led me and I’m ready VS 2 discovering my super power the world looks small from here as I rise above the ruins and the vampires disappear and I’m not supporting actor on somebody else’s screen I gotta take that fucking movie off repeat CHORUS 2 I am done with this story gonna go and find my pen write myself an epic journey time for me to shed my skin I am tired of playing this role I’m gonna live an action movie breaking this pathetic mold I’m standing where this road has led me and I’m ready the broken past has been forgiven the future will unfold CHORUS 3 I am done with this story gonna go and find my pen write myself an epic journey time for me to shed my skin I am tired of playing this role I’m gonna live an action movie breaking this pathetic mold I’m standing where this road has led me I’m standing where this road has led me I’m standing on this road… and I’m ready

V1 On the edge of time I feel a little peculiar. Blame it on the wine and speculate the future Pre 1 I’m holding up the standard And hoping it all comes true Chorus 1 I’m optimistic to a fault I believe I believe. I’m no fool at all I’m pessimistic in the dark I retreat, I retreat when the voices start (to get their way) V2 If I lose my mind and wallow in a stupor it might be sublime to let go of my hubris. Pre 2 I’m culling all my manners I’ll do what the lemmings do Chorus 2 I’ll take you with a grain of salt I believe I believe I’m no fool at all I’m gullible to sophistry I complete I complete Their control of me (Now go away) Bridge As I’m losing all sophistication You continue to think less of me I fall apart in many variations I don’t resemble who I used to be Pre 3 My peace of mind meanders And lethargy ensues Chorus 3 I stopped without a parking pawl I believe I believe I’m no fool at all I rock a bit and shake a lot I concede I concede To the Kesey plot (would you come and see me anyway?) Outro ‘Cuz Kathy I’m lost

In and out of love You’d think I’d had enough But here I am once again standing at your door Over and over Dead drunk or sober I keep on coming back looking for more What does it matter if I’m stubborn or a fool Seems I can never get over you You once admired my persistence Now it won’t make any difference You made your mind up long in the past But I can’t take no for an answer Somehow I still think there’s a chance I’ll Find a place in your heart It’s self-delusion, I can’t deny Like the faults I try to justify Another winter and summer I ain’t getting any younger But every season finds me here again Time has no meaning It doesn’t lessen what I’m feeling I know it’ll always be the same No sign of weakening your resolve But I won’t let the doubts take hold

Sometimes when I’m with you It’s hard to continue To act as though everything is fine And when I’m without you I don’t mean to doubt you But I can’t believe that you are mine It feels like forever We’re halfway to never And picking up speed the whole way down We’re plummeting faster En route to disaster But you’re what i need so don’t say We’ll never survive - we’re barely alive We’re destined to take that fall If this is our fate - then why should we wait We’re just gonna lose it all Sometimes when you’re near me I don’t think you hear me I’m trying to say we’ll be okay And when you are distant I seem nonexistent Does it even matter what I say For all that I tell you Does any of it get through Is there any way to change your mind Cause I’m losing patience With your indignation I’m wondering what I stayed for So can we survive - can we stay alive Do we have to take that fall If this is our fate - then why should we wait We’ve got nothing to lose at all So come take a chance with me And you’ll see that this is a life worth living Come join in the dance with me I can’t really dance so please be forgiving I’m working with what I’ve got so I’m gonna need you to trust me It could be a loss but I’m not so sure Please tell me that it’s not just me

I’ve got cartographic imagery of a place where broken windows bleed out mirages in the sand And I’ve got maps of all the boundaries, and a list of all the kinds of trees you’ll encounter in this land And I’ve been in this cloud for days Condescension blocks the rays And I’m trying to find a way To build a fortress in my memory, my memory, my memory Now don’t play board games with your enemies You know they’ll cheat you constantly And making up the rules I nearly died while parasailing Got sunburnt in my daydreams But I sure was comfortable And I ain’t got time to lend to my brother or my friend I wrote a message and hit send It said error: insufficient memory, no memory, no memory And I got uncompleted promises I’m tired of building monuments to the things I love the most And I am in a seance constantly My personal diplomacy is to gossip with your ghost I cut off all of my split ends I feel my aura's caving in I’m lying facedown in my den I’m like a fish without a fin Buried deep inside my memories, my memories, my memories

All the flowers in their columns All the family dressed in white All the kind words kindly spoken A legal contract said and signed Ooh, it’s a sweet old world, y’know If you give it a go It’s such silliness That I’m feeling this It’s all good, it’s the way you planned it It’s unwillingness That we should deal with this We don’t need to understand it You take a life Don’t take it lightly You take a life Don’t take it lightly All the flowers in their columns All the family dressed in black All the kind words kindly spoken It’s the humor that we lack Ooh, it’s a mean old world, y’know But we all gotta go It’s such silliness That I’m feeling this It’s all good, it’s the way you planned it It’s unwillingness That we should deal with this We don’t need to understand it Freedom is the master You got the last word Freedom is the password For Eden’s bastards It’s such silliness That I’m feeling this It’s all good, it’s the way you planned it It’s unwillingness That we should deal with this We don’t need to understand it You take a life Don’t take it lightly You take a life Don’t take it lightly You take a life Don’t take it lightly You take a life Don’t take it lightly

(A) catfish injected alligator blood, cured its disease but still tasted good. Can I cure my time-limited life? Seems an easy fix if a fish can do it, guess that I should try. Where can I find undiluted supply? I don’t need much, just a pick-me-up, enough to see me right. Pre-Ch: Look at me, injecting mild positivity If I mix things up and maybe bring some luck, achieve longevity. Ch: “Don’t be scared, be brave”, my brain says, as it infected me “Just playing doctors and nurses, well, it’s supposed to be. There’s a lesson, pay attention! An education for free.” Proper science or baseless nonsense, it’s all the same to me. Verse 2: Catfish sterile now for its own good. Can’t replicate though it thinks it should. Will I still like my neutered state of mind? Remain child-free in perpetuity for the sake of human kind. Where do I find an alligator that’s nice? If it’s an angry one, it’ll be less fun; don’t think I can do this twice. Pre-Ch: Look at me, injecting mild positivity. If I mix things up and maybe bring some luck, achieve longevity. Ch: “Don’t be scared, be brave”, my brain says, as it infected me “Just playing doctors and nurses, well, it’s supposed to be. There’s a lesson, pay attention! An education for free.” Proper science or baseless nonsense, it’s all the same to me. Outro: A moderate alligator cannot be found; all the things I’ve said have put me in the ground.

I just want to float away And set my spirit free I have too much to do To be concerned about you I need to say goodbye to the river I need to clear my mind Stop this steady stream I don't think you know How hard it is to go It's time I said goodbye to the river And I don't want to be the reason that you cry Don't want to put you through another long goodbye The river gives and takes, it's time we realized The river runs long and true, as true as the river is wide I can't help for looking back At the things I've left undone Guess I gotta find a way Leave regret in yesterday As I say goodbye to river And I don't want to be the reason that you cry Don't want to put you through another long goodbye The river gives and takes, it's time we realized The river runs long and true, as true as the river is wide

Right down the line, the wild punches in slow Part two of goodbye, he doesn't really want to go No cure in sight for crying, wailing, wild grief so elusive tonight The eyes see what they want to see Still sinking, still sinking Right down the hall, next to what we believe Is this a tantrum or art? A bouquet of celebration weeds Gum so worn down, jaw's coming lose Awake at dawn, we can only lose The eyes see what they want to see Still sinking, still sinking Bones on the table Another ritual Time has its orders And the order's full KEY CHANGE to A. Caffeine in the tank, the headlights extra bright The best key in the world, now we're all sitting up right I'm so worn down, it's all coming loose You're up at dawn and I'm awake with you But the eyes see what they want to see Still sinking.... still singing KEY CHANGE back to original key The eyes see what they want to see Still sinking.... still sinking

Well I'm fairly convinced Romance is dead What a pitiful end To this story And even as I undress Another one in my bed I can't help thinking way back To our glory Well there didn't seem to Be a spark of grief You're free to take your leave And yet You seem to live in my head This is not an intervention Just another way to say I'm sad Just wanted a notable mention To validate I'm not a passing fad I'm waging war against me And I'm not on the winning side Our memories seem to drown me Your voice drifts through the night Well I'm fairly convinced That in the end You were not a contender Not for me Just couldn't seem to decide Or maybe frozen by pride We've gotta save ourselves now From our own minds Well there didn't seem to Be a spark of grief You're free to take your leave And yet You seem to live in my head This is not an intervention Just another way to say I'm sad Just wanted a notable mention To validate I'm not a passing fad I'm waging war against me And I'm not on the winning side Our memories seem to drown me Your voice drifts through the night You've gotta let me go now I cannot be the one you need (This is not an intervention Just another way to say I'm sad) I need to be alone now And so you got what you see (Just wanted a notable mention To validate I'm not a passing fad) You've gotta let me go now I cannot be the one you need (I'm waging war against me And I'm not on the winning side) I need to be alone now And so you need to set me free (Our memories seem to drown me Our memories seem to drown me Our memories seem to drown me Your voice drifts through the night) This is not an intervention Just another way to say I'm sad Just wanted a notable mention To validate I'm not a passing fad I'm waging war against me And I'm not on the winning side Our memories seem to drown me Your voice drifts through the night This is not an intervention Just another way to say I'm sad Just wanted a notable mention To validate I'm not a passing fad I'm waging war against me And I'm not on the winning side Our memories seem to drown me Your voice drifts through the night

In the middle of a drift asunder She crash down to the bottom Every other thing fabricated Every little thing burns in the corner This too shall pass, it always does It cannot last I’ll burn it up Fearless trip, a trip I’m gonna settle in the pit of my anger I can’t take much more of this Get a little bit, gone a little bit mad Once I find my head again Gonna get a bit of salvation It’s hardly worth the wait to forget it Gonna drink and choke till I fall down Try to claw my way back to the sun But I get back up Gonna find a reason They say the lower the road Then the bleaker the season Nothing will make it right again Nothing will take away what was said Lie me down in the meadow Lie me down in the meadow again Wide awake in the meadow

V1 The day we met, No grand collide, My heart was sealed so tight the light couldn't hope to get inside But you tried, oh how you tried, to wedge a finger, how you'd linger, by the frame a game you played to pass the time soon we'd find, that we don't mind To spend a day or two together, perhaps forever, if we're so inclined Oh my heart You cracked the handle I couldn't handle it, but now we sit together every day PCH You broke the door You asked for more I'll give you all you ask for CH you change the lock, I'll turn the key you change the lock, I'll turn the key you change the lock, I'll turn the key to my heart V2 New love, tiny apartment and in a year or four tiny hearts dance on the floor Of a room so small our love can't fit inside the bubbles spill out to the hall where we would call our better flavors Won't you savor it, how I savor you and savor this place a shed looks down upon and call it home PCH You broke the door You asked for more And I'll give you all you ask for CH you change the lock, I'll turn the key you change the lock, I'll turn the key you change the lock, I'll turn the key To my heart BR worn out souls stitched on our sleeves, fallen leaves beneath our feet, made peace with all the choices, spread out our tired voices like a blanket on the stars, we made a life that was just ours, wrap knobby hands together make a tree, together we turned the key V3 Now I'm all that's left around Your last move, into the ground I'll be with you soon again, so for now remember, when CH you change the lock, I'll turn the key you change the lock, I'll turn the key you change the lock, I'll turn the key you change the lock I'll turn the ~key La da da Da da da da

You don’t belong to me But I belong to you You don’t belong to me but... I always thought I knew best So what’s this weight upon my chest? Such a victimless crime Why don’t we do it all the time? You don’t belong to me But I belong to you You don’t belong to me We gather light From a dying star Illuminates our scars We may never make it to the stars If our species has a future Would you like to spend it with me? Used to fly kites Beneath the power lines Hoping for a spark A character Without a story arc You don’t belong to me But I belong to you You don’t belong to me

First time we met I was on my knees Paper clip, coin slot at the Chuck E. Cheese Of all the kids at the arcade It was my Space you chose to Invade You were going pew pew pew I was thinking 'bout you you you Hey Jane (Hey Jane) Do you have another token Hey Jane (Hey Jane) I just can’t leave this unspoken We’ll never be cool, but that’s OK ‘Cause we’ve got our own games to play Eat a big dot, turn around chomp a ghost Never thought I’d be crushing on you the most But when I got to level two I turned around, I could not see you Hey Jane (Hey Jane) I think I'm having a heart attack Oh yay, hooray I see you waka waka waka waka waka waka walking back Hey Jane (Hey Jane) Are you here to stay Hey Jane (Hey Jane) Whadda ya say Did you think that we should date Did you hope that I felt the same About you Jane

You come around to things in a storm crash A web of lightning deep in the bone Leave sparking ghosts behind if they don't catch The engine spinning up in your soul I'd never deny the highway that's calling to you I dig for my script, the pages are ripped And the whole scene rings untrue Where's the fire, my wayward friend Have you got any kindling left to lend Where's the fire, honey I come around to things like an ice flow Slow and trading losses for gains Never did quite figure you out, though And I'm left wondering Where's the fire, should I ask When the smoke has turned my lungs to ash There's no denying things took a bad turn But why does everything behind have to burn Where's the fire, honey And why so unconcerned I turn to poison when I can't understand Sick from avoidance I still dirty my hands I was putting up a fight Cut off from the bright Trying to make my own light work Wrestled with my fears You stayed disappeared Faded into the wilds of New York Where's the fire, my wayward friend Have you got any kindling left to lend Where's the fire, should I ask When the smoke has turned my lungs to ash Where's the fire, honey Oh, where's the fire

You caught my eye while I was out on holiday At first glance I knew that you were made just for me You asked my name I said what I was feeling: Joy. I remember the first date - pink bus, ice cream cones I paid a small fortune for my day with you and it didn't take a second date, I knew as soon as I arrived: (KEY CHANGE) You're such a fucking asshole, I hate it every time I look at you can't stand to see or touch you, you opportunist asshole (repeat, KEY CHANGE) Pulled me in, put me off, told me to wait I can't forget the feel of your caress on the side of my face I can't ignore the smell that lingers You didn't get better with time or trying Anyone who says different is an idiot or just lying And it didn't take a second date, I knew as soon as I arrived (KEY CHANGE) You're such a fucking asshole, I wish the world would burn you down Go con another city you opportunist asshole (repeat, end)

Kara leaves her stuff in the strangest spots Her leopard scarf is draped from a plastic tree Rubber slipper kicked on a flower pot Her microphone is stuck in a random chair Kara lost the keys Now no one can leave Searching frantically Everywhere everywhere Kara sings lead vocals and drives the van We follow her around when we go on breaks Like full time maids and a part time band I have my girlfriend check out the ladies room CH When she's tired or tipsy Showing lack of concentration We try to throw her off [Wait - what? You guys are such jerks. Y'all can just walk home. Have fun carrying those drums. Has anybody seen my purse? Y'all are fired! I'm going to put together a new band. All women. We'll call it KaraVan. You losers!]
