Albatross

I've only known you for a little while
But someday soon you'll walk down the aisle
Until then I've got to move
I swam but couldn't get across
Wish I could be an albatross
So I could prove
All I want is you, make me swoon
Say the word and I'll give you the moon
I am here to keep you warm and dry
Every moment is a wonder with you by my side
Let's settle down and build a nest
I've been here puffing out my chest
The clock is never on our side
And I've learned time and time again
The ocean always seems to win
The tide will rise
All I want is you, make me swoon
Say the word and I'll give you the moon
I am here to keep you warm and dry
Every moment is a wonder with you by my side

Tell me major, do you wonder
How can we survive only as vessels for another man's revenge?
Do we fit in the conduit that robbed us of the place we're to defend?
Got a letter, and I'm obliged to answer
But I don't recognize the name, it's written in a script foreign to me
I may not be a feline but I'm being killed by curiosity
So tell me please, where did I catch this wonderful disease?
He makes it so I cannot move to fast or move too slow
When I was just a teenager
Wanted to be the next Lee Majors
Now I know this path is not for me
Old man wants to steal my fate, two more weeks and I'm shipping out to sea
So tell me please, where did I catch this wonderful disease?
He makes it so I cannot move to fast or move too slow

If you ever happen to notice me
I'd love to call you by name
So christen me anew if you want to
I've always missed a certain ring
What sets you apart, Desdemona
I just can't put my finger on
You tether the air, Desdemona
And it lingers when you're gone
I'm dreaming of
Desdemona
Wonder if she
Is dreaming of me....
NOT LIKELY
Floating out across the room
Taking your presence as a sign
To finally embrace the impromptu
If it means I might catch your eye
What sets you apart, Desdemona
I just can't put my finger on
You tether the air, Desdemona
And it lingers when you're gone
I'm dreaming of
Desdemona
Wonder if she
Is dreaming of me....
NOT LIKELY
Can I reach out to you, in spite of your restraint?
You're running through my veins, you're running through my veins
Desdemona, can I get to know ya?

A Lulling

What's more absurd than a flightless bird?
All these heads in the clouds, I'm still on land, my head buried in the sand
I pull myself up and see you
Nobody seems to need me around
They're busy changing the world, I can't help but stare, never leaving my chair
So tell me if you're a mirage, honeysuckle
In a bizarre collage of joy and trouble
Amid thunderous applause
Lullabye serenade me with all of my flaws

The Pace Yrself
04:33

Looking out my window, searching
When I fell into a dream
Pulled me through the glass and confessed all of the deceit
While under a spell, I happened to expel
Thing I'd rather never been
With a new ear began to reappear
Simple phrases uttered under sleep
Stuck inside, half alive
Break these ties
I will try, I will try
I will gather up my mind
Oh, heaven's no, I'm waiting for a signal home
Oh, the heaven's know I'm waiting for a signal home
Underneath the open fireside
Linking hands with the farmer and his wife
Here I surrender just like a tree bows
And I've been treading on lilypads to get here
I've been taking the lead and picking up the rear
Making up for the years inside my burrow
I'm not going back now
For a little innocence
I've been living in the background
Pace yourself, pick up the pace yourself

A Rectangle Song
03:08

Stuck in a place with no right angles
Not homesick for that large rectangle
Looking at the world from all the wrong angles
The broken lines begin to writhe and tangle
Oh martyrdom
Will I soon become a fingerprint sold to a foreign thumb?
Stuck in a place with no right angles
Not homesick for that large rectangle
I tried my best, wasn't good enough to beat the rest
Never saw the apple dive
I told a white lie
Gravity in the beholder's eye
Stuck in a place with no right angles
Not homesick for that large rectangle
Looking at the world from all the wrong angles
The broken lines begin to writhe and tangle

Grow Old
03:37

Woke up to a heady fog
Couldn't see a thing, but I thought that I saw
Through the window, a face that I do recognize
Turns out it was a mirror, and when I look into my eyes, I...
Grow old
Well I just don't have the purest of souls, no
Can't imagine letting my body go
Grandfather give me some insight
You know what it's like
To my surprise I'm in a familiar place
Suddenly I'm at the head of the race
Once again I'm a formidable foe
Then it dawns on me and I begin to choke as I...
Grow old
Well I just don't have the purest of souls, no
Can't imagine letting my body go
Grandfather give me some insight
You know what it's like

Mary Anette

Oh Mary Annette, I saw you from afar
And stopped to park my car
With a steady exhale
And you were just a silhouette, for a brief monologue
I craved my own dialogue
But my words were stale
One day you'll hear a knock upon your door
I'll be down on one knee
Saying "Mary, will you marry me?"
Oh Mary Annette, they say I can't be with you
That you're just maple and glue
A body without a heart
But on the contrary, my pet, I'm going to take you as mine
My new wave Adeline
Because I know I see a spark
One day you'll hear a shout outside
I'll be hanging from a tree
Saying "I know I'll get along just fine with your family…"
The doctor told me I should get my head checked
The nurse she told me all would be okay
The doctor told me I should get my head checked
So they kindly fixed me up the very day
They probed around inside my brain and rearranged my wiring
And for the first time now I'm finally thinking straight
So please don't be upset or call me names
It's only my brain
And it tells me every day that I've done wrong
Well you should have seen it coming from miles and miles away
I'm not a saint
But I could only be a sinner for so long
Oh, ooh wah
One day you'll hear a tune
And I just hope you'll think of me
Though I'll deny your sanity
