William Tell (free) 04:55
lyrics
download
William, tell me of your plans today strike an apple off my head? OK what beats in your heart is rank and rife this expense, this stunt is yours to realize I'm the boy under the apple I'm the boy with the arrow in his eye Seen it coming through the sky one night backwards flashing several years with third-eyesight crystal clear I sour rotten brown whizzing through the air, the apple tumbles down William, tell me of your plans tonight whose fruit cart and arrowhead will you delight? shed my scales, I'll whisper wretched wit I'll write no overture and speak of no myth

Painted Fire (free) 04:48
lyrics
download
I caught a spark and my imagination flies when it was overcast with contemplation on this night suffused with bitter seeds of wretched things, they'd cast me out but I'm digging in yeah, you've got dreams of your escape yeah, you've got thoughts of someone safe but I'm insatiable, from the cradle I've got nothing left to spare I'm a hungry soul, I play the twisted role I'm never coming up for air I'm falling from grace the sun never turns its back on me I'm never the same you're calling my name I'm painting with fire fire fire fire! I'm painting fire, fire and I've got all the world to burn and this sad, sad land with all their purple mountain majesties, vicious eyes that overflow it's such an attractive dare now that's the journey's over, battle won you can thank my wrecking ball chain reaction yeah, you've got illusions of the truth yeah, you've got all you need for proof am I the mountain boiling? the monster waiting? the river overflowing? the horrible trembling?

Ghost (free) 05:07
lyrics
download
Sepia tone, so long ago, here in the attic we're all alone cold, hard machine you lift your hands up and reach for me and I let you in you take me in she's calling me she's calling me I'm never alone as much as I think mirror burst I hunger first for the flight of your eyes in real life past parts ways to a path that I embrace and I let you in I'm warm within

Barstowaway (free) 04:47
lyrics
download
Foamy pints in mason jars, "your name again?" and taxi cars splashing puddles outside downtown bars put back my glass, tip back my hat, I’m going home alone again tonight I’m taking my time … Barstowaway I’m biting my tongue to an early grave so what do you want, Barstowaway? You’re king of the night, the AM parade I’m taking my time … Barstowaway. and the bridge’s lights will lead my way for sorting Water Street charades over the softly churning, misting waves and the smoky, creeping, witching fog, will I make it all the way again tonight?
