Seven minutes past the hour
I knew what was on her mind
I really wanted to help
But I didn’t have the time

Appetite
01:00
|
|||
|
Sometimes I wander away
And I wonder if I should come back
Over here I've got this
But over there I've got that
Sometimes I feel a yearning
And my resolve begins to crack
I'm a slave to my appetite
I want the lean, I want the fat

Cannot Take

I cannot take one more second of this fucking day
I cannot take one more second of this fucking day
I cannot take one more second of this fucking day
And it's only 9 AM
I cannot take one more second of this fucking day
I cannot take one more second of this fucking day
I cannot take one more second of this fucking day
And it's only 9 AM
It is only 9 AM
It is only 9 AM
It is only 9 AM
I cannot take one more second of this fucking day
I cannot take one more second of this fucking day
I cannot take one more second of this fucking day
And it's only 9 AM

Intention
01:00
|
|||
|
I know some great people
They extend their hand out to me
And they like me
And they care about me
And I like them back
And I want to return their embrace
But without any ill intention
I throw it back in their face
My little secret's that it’s all an act
I only have room for me, that’s the fact
Invite me, I'll tell you yes
Then I'll fuck it up, I will fuck it up

I Have You

I have what I want
I have what I want
I have you
I have what I want
I have what I want
I have you
You
I have what I want
I have what I want
I have you

Thief
00:55
|

|
What's your code? I'm a thief
But I'm sincere in my belief
That I am justified when I cheat
When I help myself to your seat
What are you entitled to?
What are you owed?
What's your code?
I can rationalize almost anything
When I see something that I want
I'll talk myself into it
And then I'll go and take it, nonchalant
Why shouldn't I go for it?
They're big, I'm small
And they can afford it
I've got mine, I want theirs
They'd do it to me, it's only fair
What are you entitled to?
What are you owed?
What's your code?

Cost Of Loss
00:52
|
|||
|
You can damn the ticks of time
You can curse the hand of fate
You can scream out at the world
You can shut and lock your gate
But you can’t negotiate the cost of loss
You can claim that wise beats hale
You can say you’ll take the trade
You can seek out silver linings
You can try to compensate
But you can’t negotiate the cost of loss
But you can’t negotiate the cost of loss

Half Alive
00:57
|
|||
|
Time unfolds
It beats its drum
So you have to ask
Whether you had fun
With your choices made
And more still to come
Lit by a waning moon
And a setting sun
Did you make your peace
Did you rest assured
That when you spoke
What you said was heard
Or have you only been half alive
Interactions
Seed memories
And no one knows
What someone else sees
Can you wake up new
With the past behind
With your senses sharp
And new things to find
Can we feel we're more than half alive
Half alive

At Night
01:00

|
Why live a day when you can live a night?
Why live a day when you can live a night?
All right!
All right!
Why live a day when you can live a night?
Why live a day when you can live a night?
All right!
All right!
All right!

The Exile
02:27
|
|||
|
I didn’t choose this place
I didn’t choose this space
I didn’t choose this face
But here I am
Yes I am here
I am not there
I wish I didn’t care
I am the exile
I am the exile
It is my style
I am the exile, I am the exile
But you still make me smile
It’s in the atmosphere
We ran from the fear
We’re hiding here
A special place
a special space
But I’m not there
I wish I didn’t care
I am the exile
I am the exile
I’ve gone a thousand miles
I am the exile, I am the exile
You make it worthwhile
You might think it’s luck of the draw
You might think it’s a solid call
You might think it worked out fine
And you’d be right but still I’m losing my mind
Exile, Exile, Exile, Exile
I didn’t choose this place
I didn’t choose this space
I didn’t choose this face
But here I am
year after year
I am not there
I am nowhere
I am the exile, I am the exile
I do it for your smile
I am the exile
I am the exile
You make it worthwhile
I am the exile, I am the exile, I am the exile, I am the exile
I am the exile, I am the exile, I am the exile, I am the exile!
