Garbage Time 02:42
I am nothing new But I’m out on view Out on display Down to my DNA So go on and have a look I’ve got nothing to hide OMG!!! Is that TMI??? Go on and have a laugh While you still can Hold your nose it’s garbage time And I’m a garbage man I am nothing more Another rotten core Some more nothing Just some worn stuffing Spilling out a torn corner Of a Salvation Army chair Just some other stranger’s dream Busted at the seams Go on and LOL While you still can Hold your nose it’s garbage time And I’m a garbage man

I could paint you a picture But that would just be a waste Take my word you’ll do better Cause I’ve been in a negative space My bedroom walls keep expanding Ever since you went away Maybe I just never noticed I’m living in a negative space It’s just a temporary solution A wind could blow it all away I know I’m cruising for a bruising What’s the use in trying to escape? I thought I’d get some peace and quiet But all the sounds have been replaced Car alarms and televisions I’m living in a negative space I could write you a letter I could plead you my case But you don’t need convincing You just need a negative space It’s just a temporary solution A wind could blow it all away I know I’m cruising for a bruising What’s the use in trying to escape?

No Parade 04:03
A gentle rain The sound of a train A crowd is forming I turn around and walk away Cross the platform Feeling forlorn Clouds are forming Like me the morning moves on Silence the alerts I’ve spoken my last word No forwarding address This is what you get No fanfare, no parade A decision has been made No excuses, no regrets This is what you get The sound of a phone Ringing out in the night There’s no one to answer Looks like I’ll be up ’til it dies And if I survive I’ll start a new life Throw out all the mirrors Reminders of what I can change Silence the alerts I’ve spoken my last word No forwarding address This is what you get No fanfare, no parade A decision has been made No excuses, no regrets This is what you get Silence the alerts No forwarding address No fanfare, no parade No excuses, no regrets This is what you get

GOAT 02:53
Wish me luck I’m just stuck inside a sour patch Stuck with tickets to a rained out match Like a door with a broken latch I can’t keep away the winter wind And I’m hoping You’ll walk back in again So bye bye crocodile I hadn’t seen you in a little while But your leaving is keeping me awake Like a sucker punch, a tidal wave And I know it hurts worse When you try to swim away Spit it out If you swallow you won’t hold it down Or it might just eat you up inside Yearning like an unstruck match Waiting for the flame to catch If you lose your breath I hope you get it back Stuck inside a sour patch Stuck with tickets to a rained out match Now it’s too late to get back on track You won’t be coming back You won’t be coming back

Doesn’t matter how it begins You could be a seed caught in the wind So forget about your kin You’re a lamb out on the lam A fawn without a family A stranger in a stranger Land Take whatever fits inside your hands Doesn’t matter how it began A secret scribbled in the sand The legacy of a ladies man The wild gets so tiring Waltzing through trip wiring Through all the steps and timing Til you can find your way back in the dark Til you can find your way back in the dark Watch the particles collide Rearrange and recombine Form into a new design See it in the northern lights tonight Doesn’t matter how it begins It could be a whisper in the din Scattered by the solar winds The wild gets so tiring Waltzing through trip wiring Through all the steps and timing I’ll be listening for whispers at the door I’ll be listening for whispers at the door Redraw it all from scratch Reorient the map Til you can find your way back in the dark If it can’t be reversed Let’s negotiate the terms Til you can find your way back in the dark Til you can find your way back in the dark Til you can find the path back to the start
