Eat 05:58
To fill your belly To feel your body To crush that fear To feel something other To take what you can To take what you're given Time is coming It will take your pleasure To feel your terror To break your mirror To break the moment To stop the future Before it all goes away Before it all goes to waste The end of the world Is the end of your pleasure (repeat)

I touched the sand Just to touch the sand I forgot to be afraid Fear asks the same question In fear we ask the same question When it all goes away What could take its place? You cried like a gull Running into the water Seeing nothing at all Is this the last time? Through my mask I can smell the grass Something i'd already lost Somehow it made me cry Drunk with joy I laughed in the dark I outsmarted the world But tomorrow we die I moved through the waves Just to kick thru the waves I forgot to be afraid My dying breath In the noise In the dark Ocean's roar In the dark (i can see the future)

Bedsit 06:28
And the days go flying by, in our bedsit The days go, by and by, in our bedsit The days go, by and by, no exit Yes the days go by and by, in our bedsit In the days when they told us to stay inside I looked out for my own, through the disaster Pack your things up, you'd better come to mine I could hear something changed, beneath the laughter And as the outside world fell to silence We found shelter together, just to spite it And as the world's hunger turned to violence We laughed together at our fear, just to fight it And the days go by... I said-now that everything's gone wrong I said-there's something i think you should know I said-there's something that's been here all along She said- she said no When night came i would lay at her feet Then the time came when i knew i would leave She made me a drink that tasted of being free And like the family dog, i went to sleep And the days go flying by, in our bedsit The days go, by and by, in our bedsit And my naked smile shines at the empty sky, my exit Yes the days go by and by, in our bedsit And though the outside world had fallen dark I could never pray my way into her heart We do our best with what's given to us But in the end a life's not worth so much And the days go by...

I Laughed 04:30
I guess i laughed, when i should have cried I guess i laughed, when someone died But it's all right And i'm not sorry Even though It isnt funny I know i was never cold I know the truth was too much to hold I knew if i laughed you'd laugh with me too But it's all right...

Under the Red Rain, We Dreamed of Leaving... Coming in from the rain i washed myself, And the water burned my skin. Could not leave but could not stay. We tried so hard to decide. We tried to think our way free. As the fires came down the hill It was well past decision time but we still could not decide. There was so much we'd leave behind.
