Piggy Pedals 02:36

we're on our own now we're all alone now pushing on the piggy pedals pushing on the piggy pedals alone now out on our own now pushing on the piggy pedals pushing on the piggy pedals don't need a farmer that's gonna harm ya pushing on the piggy pedals pushing on the piggy pedals domesticated is overrated pushing on the piggy pedals pushing on the piggy pedals can you spot your own thought close your eyes and you have to be guided where can we get in the time provided? other swine want to have it decided it's your snout and you don't have to hide it the meat is going for cheap piled up in a bloody heap trying to impress little bopeep we can leave that to the sheep alone now out on our own now pushing on the piggy pedals pushing on the piggy pedals

Simple Choice 02:38
lyrics
buy track
Are you gonna swear? throw dust into the air? blow back the sea? coins hitting the ground are worlds turning around pointlessly deep in the noise listen to that voice and make a very simple choice deep in the noise listen to that voice and make a very simple choice love is overplayed it scatters like the shade leaves us behind the fool that I have been won't come around again but not hard to find deep in the noise listen to that voice and make a very simple choice deep in the noise listen to that voice and make a very simple choice

Impossible Place 03:46
lyrics

I will walk sun or rain I will walk to the impossible place all the way with my feet in the dye with a colorful finger-paint disguise as I rise there is only one thing to deny if I make it then it's not a lie if I'm brave enough to be alight bend the night and then step to it I can put my body through it she will suffer the same she will be in the impossible place all the way there are lights in her eyes there are lights making rivers in the sky as we rise as we rise all the way there is only one thing to deny if we make it then it's not a lie if we're brave enough to be alight bend the night and then step to it I can put your body through it

you are scared of little terrors out from somewhere monsters chasing doors erasing into thin air legs are numbing feel them coming up endless stairs all elevens and you haven't got one more prayer stop your crowing you're not goin' anywhere on the spinner locked up in a mightmare locked up in a mightmare poisoned apple made you nap and now you're under tried to outrun but everyone saw that blunder show your teeth like the deceased and loosen your bones lifting mountains can't get out and never alone stop your crowing you're not goin' anywhere on the spinner locked up in a mightmare locked up in a mightmare you're not goin' anywhere locked up in a mightmare you're not goin' anywhere locked up in a mightmare you're not goin' anywhere locked up in a mightmare you're not goin' anywhere locked up in a mightmare now you're slipping tightly gripping can't reach a hand endless calling you'll keep falling and never land

Make Me an Offer 03:06
lyrics

when it got hotter hell and high water I waded I waded after the showers you were the flower who bated who bated hungry for beauty fruit sweet and dewy I tasted I tasted dance in a vignette hovering sunset don't waste it don't waste it lines making up the horizon are getting softer statues are turning to sand so make me an offer fleeting emotions ships in an ocean no rudders no rudders butterfly impact puts me on my back and flutters just flutters lines making up the horizon are getting softer statues are turning to sand so make me an offer

We Are the Mob 03:03
lyrics
buy track
when they made room for the car parks i guess they didn't care for art who would bother to make those walls? only to imprison us all? what is it like to be the means? treat people less than their machines? this is a feeling, that's a fact there is broken logic for that it's a big job but we are the mob they're gonna know our numbers teeth of the law have a broken jaw feeling the ache of hunger they're gonna know our numbers when denominations fall rippling like a lightning burst a little spark has to be first who would you rather hold the knife? Already paying with your life blame the kings who hang to their crowns blame the liars who run the towns There is enough to go around or would you like to take them down? it's a big job but we are the mob they're gonna know our numbers trying to tell you to your face value not gonna have to wonder they're gonna know our numbers when denominations fall

Tower of Ice 03:49
lyrics
buy track
it is quiet in a blanket of powder all the sounds are washed away there are no parades and no pretty flowers only black and white and gray try to be strong but i can only tremble hang around until the thaw i'm as useless as your fake precious metal just reflecting in the frost please take me from this tower ice where we can be out at night please rescue me from boring advice we could burn like lovers coal and ember lovers who make their home in the lights you can melt a heart down into the snow solid wishes in a myth chip away the mountain blow after blow disappear into the drift please take me from this tower ice and then we can see the sights please rescue me from boring advice we could burn like lovers fiery furnace lovers who make their home in the lights

The Cage 03:54
lyrics

give me a reason not just a rattle soon I will be able to slip right through the bars skipping that dinner rotten and bitter the slow starvation makes me faint reminds me of the stars the cage the cage is no place for an animal the cage the cage will you let me go? plucking a feather scratching out seconds adding the minutes saving hours counting every day never your cheery bright mine-canary there are expanding skies so far up and away the cage the cage is no place for an animal the cage the cage will you let me go?

Resist a Mystery 03:24

following the footsteps going over evidence never can resist a mystery felt it in her fingerprints only gave me a hint curiosity will get the best of me I wish I could be more smart now my whole case fell apart a cat-woman stole my heart but a really good thief always leaves their mark isn't an obsession just haven't learned my lesson never can resist a mystery there was a surprise twist disappeared with a kiss the answer was right in front of me felt it in my stomach gotta know whodunit never can resist a mystery hope she won't move on too quick to some other private dick only trying to get his kick solving dirty crimes that she wants to commit isn't an obsession just haven't learned my lesson curiosity will get the best of me I wish I could be more smart now my whole case fell apart a cat-woman stole my heart but a really good thief always leaves their mark isn't an obsession just haven't learned my lesson never can resist a mystery

we're not gonna join half to be a dupe don't wanna be a member of the sub-group if you're on the doorstep, we're not taking orders when it's what you are you never need to reinforce it it's much more fun if you are courageous leave the false security to the painless leave the revelations to the blameless confusion to the cowards who would try to tame us wild hearts don't belong wild hearts carry on don't need another gift or was it an offer the latest spiritual discount shopper we're happy to leave the earth to the meek but for now we're gonna sing and dance and speak we're gonna get down gonna take the risk gonna smolder not just exist leave the revelations to the blameless confusion to the cowards who would try to tame us wild hearts don't belong wild hearts carry on you're a savage you're a beast you're hairy and cuddly at least get over the primal fear we are going further into the frontier have you seen the members of the herd in a pretty row looking absurd leave the revelations to the blameless confusion to the cowards who would try to tame us wild hearts don't belong wild hearts carry on

when the fire glows and the shadows dance, you can see your bones through transparent hands the relative days, not long as they seem, all become a haze lifting from a dream have you heard the sound? felt the shaking yet? a call from the ground rumbles with regret a voice carries a light flies marches back into the sky bending in gravity's thrust spreading like the cosmic dust the irony is too great once you know that it's too late tell me a story let's make a story too

you see it all from our place in the sky houses are toys let's take it in awhile pixelated a multitude of specks rush up and down the paths that intersect ran out of words and wine I took your hand in mine stepped right to the edge then over that line blurring together when you squint your eyes imagine all new patterns in your mind the air is thin a struggle to breathe here a little further to pass the atmosphere ran out of words and wine I took your hand in mine stepped right to the edge then over that line

so much for a thinking soul keeping it under control let dust collect garden overgrow letting myself go won't need a crack for the code don't need to pack for the road the doors are open breeze is free to blow letting myself go a bother to monitor the counters or straighten the rugs this furniture, the busywork is better left to the bugs needed to reach the plateau prepared an act for the show breaking to quick building too slow letting myself go let dust collect garden overgrow letting myself go letting myself go
