Sticks and Stones (free) 04:05
Sticks and Stones   It finds you, silent, and laughs at you while it is eating through your bones But you’re sad to see it go Tonight you, you slipped through, and found me when I needed most to be alone But I guess that’s how it goes   Sticks and stones, far from home Trail of breadcrumbs Death by love, crushed the skull Head forgets the soul   Lied and, confided, enough to fill me with the fear when I was young Convinced me I was wrong Uptight, misguided, scared of visits from the ghosts of fiscal ruin Play the system strong   Sticks and stones, far from home Trail of breadcrumbs Death by love, crushed the skull Head forgets the soul   Sticks and stones, far from home Trail of breadcrumbs Death by love, crushed the skull Head forgives the soul

Tourist 03:04
Tourist   Numb, plied, tired, nothing is wrong Poised, employed, smiled, getting along   Time, age, fines, an hour alone Compromise, strive, the best that you’ve done   Every word you’ve always wanted All the ways I need to leave Trying to find that what I had missed or Hoping it’d find me And I promised words I couldn’t And you promised fruitless leads Like a feeling from a childhood Story in my dreams   I can’t feel it at all anymore I can’t feel it at all anymore   Every word you’ve always wanted All the ways I need to leave Trying to find that what I had missed or Hoping it’d find me And I promised words I couldn’t And you promised fruitless leads Like a feeling from a childhood Story in my dreams
3.
Little Shadows   Look at all the things you’ve done Made a pact with everyone Blame it on a hotter sun Blame it on belief it’s what you need   And it pulls at you from your blind spot, keeps you guessing at the wheel Spies on you from the corner when you’re alone   Oh it’s nice, these songs you’ve sung Little lies for everyone Bless the child who’s got their own Bless the union of this pair of souls   And it barks at you from the darkness, feel it nipping at your heels Waits for you by the window when you’re at home   Even if it breaks your heart Disappear, opine Better off to leave a scar Wants that won’t abide Collect the pieces as you go Build it over time Divide the city with a wall Cover over faults you feel inside   Far from prying eyes, oh you’ve found a real nice disguise, high and dry Far from prying eyes, oh you’ve found a real nice disguise, high and dry   Even if it breaks your heart Disappear, opine Better off to leave a scar Wants that won’t abide Collect the pieces as you go Build it over time Divide the city with a wall Cover over faults you feel inside

Control 03:35
Control   I would lie awake at night afire And watch the clock keep losing time and losing time Keep losing time, keep losing time, slowly fading into silence   And no one lives forever And I don’t want to be alone I split my head apart and filled it up with static so that I could cope Fluorescent, incandescent Healthy glow of the human sun A clammy grey approach to day by day and nodding because I couldn’t talk   Lights that shine both day and night inside No surprise I’m not quite right, but I’m alive Remove this knife, remove this knife, slowly fading   And no one lives forever And I don’t want to be alone I split my head apart and filled it up with static so that I could cope Fluorescent, incandescent Healthy glow of the human sun A clammy grey approach to day by day and nodding because I couldn’t talk
