iHOPE 04:36
I hope I can stand on my own soon I hope you bring my legs back with you I hope I can speak for myself soon I hope you bring my brain back with you I hope I can feel something soon I hope you bring my heart back with you You asked me what I thought, I thought you'd never ask But in the meantime, Honey, Where'd you get that? In town or the mountains where they make them? I don't care much about anything when I'm with you, not the town, not the mountains, not what the kids do. So, go on, do what you want. And I hope if I die it's not too soon, but when I do please put my plot next to you.

Pretty Brave 03:26
break the key in lock, lock my mother out watch the air and clothes all come flooding out leave the car for three days by the neighbor's house up on my two legs, bound up the vertebrate this separation is the rising of the day in all those habits you said were my cards to play I find myself finding so much comfort I guess that I'll let it ride oh, but I wonder how long til the fun's over but now I can't go back, I can't go home if you see me up on my two legs I'll bet you say "hey! that's pretty brave, for an invertebrate..." and all those planets you said were too far away they used to be so much closer did they declare a side? no! when they got too big they had to move over

I'm a brown bag and you're a sparrow. I'm stumbling around the house like a pharaoh in the dark, I command whatever I can. I'm lacking self in control, in the fold, now in a hole, I'm lacking self control in a world so old, I destroy whatever I can. And I'm stuck on a tree, in the sea of the sun. Before I was young I was so much fun, but I was wrong; I was dumb, but I was wrong. I'm always wrong. But like a worm in the earth you dug me up...back at the orchard i find myself in the exact same spot that i was when i thought i never had gotten lost, it was the exact same spot...where I'm always wrong. You know, I lived in a house- in a town- but now I live in a room underground where I'm always wrong. But I'm a brown bag and you're a sparrow, I destroy whatever I can.

Good God's Grief! Why doesn't God talk to me? I never wanted long hair I thought my friend's were so fair I thought my family cared I thought god was there I thought Dear Dad's Grief, I think too much about how you don't think about me. It's always "laugh now" or "laugh then" or "don't laugh til I say when" or "laugh when it's not funny" and "laugh til you're dead" "keep laughin' when you come upstairs," He said. But He was laughin' when I flew up and found nothing instead. "Good dog, it's me. fetch the dander of my seed. I'll meet you in the garden, you'll meet my vacant memory" Good God's Grief, why's everybody looking at me? Good God's Grief, why's everybody walking towards me? Dear Dad, You said, "You'd best believe me." but then why am I hanging from a big wooden t ? I wanna remember everything you ever said to me but I can't recall a single word for the life of me I wanna remember but the more that I think about it you never said anything

The Orchard 03:55
Next to the orchard we're both selling almost the exact same cloth, only I don't know why you can't just knock it off. And everyone I'm talking at seems to hate mostly every word; so who is it who I'm talking at? Well, I'm not too sure... While the ice, it escapes my senses, I can't feel my frozen feet, and I'm sure that they can't stand me so I'll thaw em in the sea... But it's no use, we both live in the coldest part of the earth. we've been bitching before birth. so i guess the orchard is the church where we were both baptized in a backyard river of chlorine, it made my mouth move mostly mean, by the time i turned thirteen. and you are eleven in the primtime sitcoms of my mind. But do you know where your children are? Do you even know the time?

What will you say when you see that both the light and night deceive? "Will you please deceive me?" And what do you see when you fix your hind eyes towards the street? Do you even see me? Me and my friends, the tumbleweeds? You picked my pocket with the left hand, You hit my face with the right, You gave me the left and the right all night. We should of turned around when we got to your house, cause your mat said, "welcome" but it meant "keep out" I knew I should have stayed at home with all the snakes in the dirt and the fish in the waves, cause they're all laughing, it's true, and I guess I'm laughing too. But then my eyes rolled around the room until they ended up on you.

a big brown dog roaming around "Dakota gotta get to Montana" Really doesn't know which way to go "Really gotta get to Montana" through the hay is the way When the day came, it came and went so fast I was crying out for the past praying to someone, to anyone, that it would last a big brown dog roaming around Dakota?

in your dreams you sleep so much you can't remember them when we're awake we're all so weak when the week dies we decide we should abandon them there's no one left i wanna see but if my heart reflects the state of everything we call space why does my brain look like the dirt? mix the water with earth , then dry it in the sun build it into walls to keep the light out so it's no bother now my hands remind me of all the times i never sold my soul that's why my account looks soooo baroque it's from too much reflecting and too much smoke i'm still stoned already so it's no bother now and i keep going back to the same places that i've been cause i can't remember why i can't remember them

I feel so much like I. I'm sitting there, I'm wicked as well. I'm young, in a sea around a dark city . In a tree in the sea on the sun I was, Before I was young. In a tree all the worst parts were pulled from the dark. In a sea you drove around, looking for a place to park. On the sun you were blind, but you were looking for some shade So you found a shopping mall, You didn't need anything, So before you were young you bought it all. And now all the best buys bounce around in your trunk. While all the worst parts? Deep into the sky, they've quickly sunk. they built this city they built us out of air and heat we spit on ourselves when we spit on the street I hate this place but my feelings might change. Don't let me be or I just might stay the same. But what fun that would be if I was!?! I'd have to learn to live my life without love. And I'm not sure what's worse: Everyone's Hearts or The Whole Goddamn Earth in Reverse?
