The Fire 03:29
first there was heat then there was fire then there was the ash left over and the voices of a children's choir and the voices broke and the room went cold they said if you don't risk dying young you risk growing old but if we howl and holler and fill the building with water they will be soaked in safety and the fire won't get in the way of the lives they're leading am I leading you astray? so sorry, I'm so sorry if I'm leading you astray then the wind caught up and the crowd got word but the word only confirmed what they, from the fire, inferred so they sang to the sky "oh mother moon" she said, "don't worry baby. It'll all be over soon." But if we howl and holler and fill the building with water they will be soaked in safety and the fire won't get in the way of the lives they're leading am I leading you astray? so sorry, I'm so sorry if I'm leading you astray

No Water 03:39
I had a dream we were working on a garden in the sand you said, "you know, we've been working just to grow some unknown greenery that thrives and demands no water" no water of course nothing grew it was only then and only I that knew with all said and done it was only me left baking in the sun no water no water no water that friday night I was foggy I was listless I was broke you said, "instead, maybe we should go to bed and in the morning we'll forget we ever spoke without caution" no memory of course nothing grew it was only then and only I that knew with all said and done it was only me left baking in the sun with no water no water no water no water

America 03:51
I left early in the morning to arrive at the place I should be I made sure I was a ghost I made sure I was a nomad in the land of the free the sky had that color that early faint glow that deep dark blue I went over the mountains and as I got closer it shifted its hue I want to go to America I want to go to America I heard westward it was different heard it was quiet and built for a ghost ancient trees grow like mountains they climb through the air they scatter the coast it was different as promised we all could agree it was worse than before from a time unremembered sealed inside bottles and washing ashore I want to go to America I want to go to America wouldn't you think it would be different? wouldn't you think it would be nice? if we could spend the day together and the night on ice I want to go to America I want to go to America I left early in the morning the sky was still dark just tinted by sun I got lost in the aether the spin of the planet that cancerous one god bless the fields of grain and god bless the rocks and the wood we have our own ideas of how distance should be understood I want to go to America I want to go to America

Naples 02:39
I parked my car in the driveway the windows froze shut the temperature dropped I'm still unsure on the highway I suddenly sped I suddenly stopped the bent steel frame the total loss claim I fell asleep in your bedroom still fully clothed your head on my chest neck cramps from lacking the headroom the heat on my face the nauseous unrest you said when this is over as it soon will be "I plan on rolling on forever so don't wait up for me"

Reinvent 06:05
in the woods there was a holy playground game that filled your heart and in your heart there is a place you've yet to find and when you get there do you think that you will know right away and if it's changed do you think you'll change your mind or will you reinvent your promised land to suit this new frontier or accept the home you've dreamed about is very far from here and the home that you return to now will one day disappear and if it does when it does you'll still be here in the garden with a lonely holy ghost for a guide you will walk drawing circles in the soil the path that you create with dragging feet won't lead you home you disappear when you shake your mortal coil you need to reinvent your memories your dream girl don't exist do you think that she'd just watch you being swallowed by the mist? when watch her fade away it's only human to resist and if she does when she does you'll still exist
