Playing opossum on the ground Memorizing all your whispers Walking all the roads To your invisible cities Searching for the oldest note I can’t hear you but I know you’re there Crackling through the air Unaware that I’ve been following Finally I can see With eyes in every key I can remember all the sounds Like the scenery in dreams Reaching for something to bring back Some proof of where I’ve been Palms are resting on the ground Learning every vibration found Stains on the silence Noises that never will be clean Closer to the oldest note Tape recorder will not hold another song Right here all along Within cassettes that shouldn’t be These are the sounds I have gathered for you Every word, every song that you knew Take it apart and build something new Everything that you think is you
3.	Pink Floyd and Dinosaurs 04:37	lyrics	buy track
Lullabies collapse under your sighs Questions you are asking of the skies Fortune, find her every verse Burning candles in reverse Always you are aching for the night Darkness you are staining with your light Fortune, find her every verse Burning candles in reverse
4.	Introvertebrae 03:44	lyrics	buy track
Here’s a song about being young I should’ve done all the things But I only did some Here’s a song about being old Nobody was buying Some souls never get sold I want to write about Want to sing about All of my fears Don’t know if they’ll come true Or disappear Here’s a song about being heard I tried to tell a story Before I knew the words Here’s a song about being more But I’d give up all my dreams Just to listen to yours We are all unfinished art in a dark corner
5.	Plot Armor 04:58	lyrics	buy track
I saw you there speaking to the circles I follow you to the forests head Waiting for the world to sing along Borrow words from other borrowed songs The poetry we deserve Its all yours I saw you there weeping on your memories But you are now stronger than ever Waiting for the world to sing along Borrow words from other borrowed songs The poetry we deserve Its all right Nothing in my hand but yours Take me to the worlds you wander Nothing in my hand but yours Don’t let go
6.	The Secret Few 03:30	lyrics	buy track
6 The Secret Few Doesn’t have to make sense Seen this all before Done more with less Done less with more Do you miss the place Or do you miss the years You can never have it all back Wasting so much time On this compulsive need to rhyme

8.	Unintentional Comedy 03:12	lyrics	buy track
Time goes on Am I free or the muses pawn Turn all those little sounds into seeds Plant them in the dirt in your eyes While you watch the world go by Beginnings and endings It’s all the same It’s all right now or gone A little fantasy is all you need To keep you in line And all you want to be is hidden In the vacuum of your mind Turn all those little sounds into seeds Plant them in the dirt in your eyes While you watch the world go by
9.	Like Statues in Imaginary Cities 03:37	lyrics	buy track
Lights in the sky burning in reverse Been waiting hours for a third verse Aglow with every color you’ve ever seen Never know when you are standing behind me Your skin is art, I am the gallery Hang your sorrows on my wall and be at peace Been waiting here Been here looking through the door Forever but I still want more Overture of energies hiding in us Everything we want to be Time has made us

11.	Defacto Protagonist 05:12	lyrics	buy track
Always morning, we lay in the light Trying to do everything right Always watching with ivory eyes Waiting for you to change the design The plot armor thickens Follow our voices A silence louder than All other noises Axiom sing alongs Songs of our people Future nostalgia Another sequel Always searching for words to combine Something for you to read throughout time The plot armor thickens Follow our voices A silence louder than All other noises Axiom sing alongs Songs of our people Future nostalgia Another sequel And if you’re going to be just like me Then I better become something worth being
12.	One Hit Wander 03:28	lyrics	buy track
Where to begin I’ve never known What could have been Where I should go Wander on Thoughts are so dark You can see every star There you are Always near Always far Tell secrets to notebooks and space All of these years glued to my face Wander on Thoughts are so dark You can see every star There you are Always near Always far
13.	Some New Beautiful Nightmare ( Our Lady of Space mix) 04:52	lyrics	buy track
Sounds to dye the silence the color of the air staining time to keep the records a voice everywhere and every word is meaningless never could explain head encumbered with a queue of things I've tried to say I am of the night now she is of the lights dancing to the music coming from her satellites student of her shape and shadow her curvature in space warping all the world around us to point me on my way home and all the things I cannot name that live within the strings all for you, my little flame I'm ready to begin

15.	You Are 04:04	lyrics	buy track
Stitching words to your sounds Still time to turn it around Everything where it belongs All of your favorite songs Stored in the safest place The colors I saw in your face Open a door to the sun Where we’ll find everyone Stories we’ve captured In our stained glass universes Chorus is empty The words would rather be verses
16.	MacGuffin 03:13	lyrics	buy track
We are not what you think we are Born in forgotten histories And undiscovered stars And hearing songs that don’t exist Well if you insist Spinning light into lunacy Every answer I’ll ever need Twist ending You won’t see it coming When the songs were using you To hear themselves Songs that don’t exist Well if you insist

There is no more in-between What you are and where you’ve been Other worlds are whispering And they know you’re listening There is music in your name But the song’s never the same Every word has been erased But I rewrite them every day More sounds and words Pretending to be a verse Every song you’ve ever heard Voices in the water I will turn through every page Leaving blood on every stage One more song no one will hear Another artist disappears There is music in your name But the song’s never the same Every word has been erased But I rewrite them every day More sounds and words Pretending to be a verse Every song you’ve ever heard Voices in the water This is the ending and the beginning You still love You made it this far, you’re still listening You still love Talking to yourself through your recordings You still love Every little thing you have ever been You still love More sounds and words Pretending to be a verse
