Back On That Train 05:28
lyrics
buy track
I am a passenger Sitting in my seat And the guy next to me is manspreading Conductor calls out Sounds like gibberish No idea where I am heading Back on that train Back on that train There is woman She's putting on her makeup And when the train lurches it all smears The guy next to her He is fast asleep And then suddenly he disappears Now I am standing Holding on to the strap And some chick grabs my arm like I'm a pole It's kinda strange But it's I'm used to Whenever I go down into that black hole

How can I know if what I'm feeling Is a feeling that I can say is true Yeah how can I know if the world around me Is happening now or deja vu What is that thing I need to name it Is it the thing that makes it real Is it the thing The thing itself The very thing that makes me feel It is real, real as it gets Is it real Real, real How can I trust my guts When nothing comes through loud and clear Is that person I love so madly Really just some kind of racketeer How can trust in what I am saying When what I am saying seems a little strange I wanna be real, real for you But what if I can't ever change

Suicide Is Painless 04:29
lyrics
buy track
Through the early morning fog I see Visions of the things to be The pains that are withheld for me I realize and I can see Suicide is painless It brings on many changes And I can take or leave if I please I try to find a way to make All our little joys relate Without the ever-present hate But now I know and it's too late The game of life is hard to play I'm gonna lose it anyway The losing card I'll someday lay So this is all I have to say

Beauty is broken Beauty is broken Beauty is broken And I was born I was born to be a siren Yeah I was born I was born I was born to be a siren Don't try to help, don't try to help Don't try to help Don't try to help, don't try to help Don't try to help Or have my silent help be heard You are, you are, you are, you are Multiplying fear Multiplying fear To overtake the peace To overtake the peace Secrets are disease 'Cause when I say the word 'Cause when I say the word And I was born I was born to be a siren Yeah I was born I was born I was born to be a siren You are, you are, you are You are You are Yeah I was born I was born I was born to be a siren Beauty is broken Beauty is broken

All of this crazy shit I never bargained for it All of this hate and hurt I never bargained for it This pain down in my groin Follows me wherever I’m goin’ This tightness in my chest No I’m not at my best Wish that I could escape Wish I'd run away Wish I'd find some peace Or have a nice day Look out, look out, look out Here comes the future All of these aches and pains I never bargained for it All of these ups and downs I never bargained for it This sense of losing out It ain’t what life is about This weakness in my guts Driving me cocoanuts Wish I that could escape Wish I'd get away Wish I'd find some peace Or have just one nice day Here comes the future Like it or not Here comes the future The future we all bought Here comes the future Let us scream banzai Here comes the future Kiss the past goodbye Bye-bye

Amok Time 05:55
lyrics
buy track
If the lost word is lost If the spent word is spent If the unheard, unspoken word Is unspoken, unheard Still is the unspoken word The word within The world and for the world And the light shone in the darkness And against the word The unstilled world still whirled About the center of the silent word On and on and on and on Where shall the word be found Where will the word resound Not here, there is not enough silence Not on the sea or on the islands Not on the mainland, in the desert Or the rain land For those who walk in darkness Both in the day time and in the night time The right time And the right place is not here No place of grace For those who avoid the face No time to rejoice For those who walk among noise And deny the voice If the lost word is lost If the spent word is spent

Chimera 06:17
lyrics

Feeling connected to the pieces of the puzzle Going back is gonna be a struggle It's all uphill Already decided what I'll do when I get there I will hunt you down Go in for the kill Me and you and you and me Flying like the sweet bees making honey Everything I say is funny And the day will come when you're feeling old And you need to hold on And I already thought about the fact that you know Know all the things that I got show I'm all out there Me and you and you and me Flying like the sweet bees making honey Everything I say is funny

Last Car 03:32
lyrics

The train lights flicker like a crooked tick And the man-spreader across the aisle is mansplaining It's a carnival of garish parading around for all to see While a certain status quo is being maintaining And me, I'm just sitting up here on my lonesome Got my ear-pods cranked up to eleven My eyes are closed and I am soul vibing And I dream I think I must be up in heaven I open my eyes up in heaven And everyone is gay and grand Everyone speaks the same language So no one will never not understand And I am sitting off to one side Taking in some various undertakings And the walrus says to the carpenter Look at all the fancy cakes I'm baking I take a look far, far down below At all the bedlam and pain And I just thank my lucky stars I was on the last car of this train I take one last look around for posterity If I am not around to complain I just thank my lucky stars I was on the last car of this train

When I Let You In 04:52
lyrics
buy track
I feel my body being pulled apart And all my pieces blown like dust And I got no choice but to laugh at it all At the very least be nonplussed I weep like an open wound I saw like a violin This is what happens This is what happens When I let you in I feel my pieces being borne aloft And my fingers touch the tips of your hair I try to yoke you close to me But you fly away like so much air I can spin it any way I want I can check into a loony bin This is what happens This is what happens When I let you in I feel my spirit out among the stars As lonely as a scuttled thought Your eyes, your crown, your brilliant mouth Hurl me like a juggernaut I gird myself for the great beyond I snag myself on a safety pin This is what happens This is what happens When I let you in

about

The train lights flicker
Like a crooked tick
And the man-spreader
Across the aisle is mansplaining
It's a carnival of garish
Parading around for all to see
While a certain status quo
Is being maintaining
