Ahoy runaway
Yeah I saw you today
You're pushing your bike up that driveway
Fall in the rain
My little submarine
They're all doing just what you say
In Cryola town
We can all bum around
Passing out yearbooks and pliers

I could try to carry you down
But crying eyes is stuck on all the papers
We can lie, we might get around
But I get shit from every other faker
Wendy Anderson
She never comes 'round
Wendy Anderson
She's keeping me down
I just died, when we hit the ground
You're selling shit to pay for your new mattress
-"I was so, so in love with you
So when you go, go I'm not coming too"
I've never been so happy to leave without you

Wake up, we're falling
Serving the rivalry
Everyone's going
That's enough change for me
Our dreams burn down
They don't mean nothing
Yeah we come and go like a summer glow
Dreams burn down
Never meant nothing
Do you believe in the vacuum though?
Blow, bathroom stalling
Claw your way down the lane
We wanna get back to something
Something pure, something sweeter than pain

Confetti

So what
You were blown away by wind
Is that my problem?
Show up and confess
You never like to grin
"My teeth look like confetti"
I try but I'm not ready to disagree
Oh! rare occasion
Marbled and discrete
Your camera miss details
Avoid all of the sting
I like to let it ring
I wanna hear you sing
Again
Walk home on the tracks gotta figure out
How to get past this here roundabout
Tuck in the baggie and jog for home
You'll make it, you're multidimensional

Time

I tried hard to be what you wanted
Feels good not to try anymore
I go for a stroll down the sidewalk
Old country faces get bored
Let it rain down
On everyone
When your time is gone
The forgiving ones
Hang their heads in shame
Walk away, baby
I come in and lay down beside you
What are you reading tonight
A fable bout management methods
Try and keep dead hope alive

Working in Market Square
Get a call, get a stare
Take this knife, for protection
Document, label fiction
Will we even care?
This can last, morning after
Keep it fast, kill with laughter
Empty miles, running shoes
Hesitate, never choose
And will we baby please look the same in the sunlight
We look the same in the sunlight

Honeycreeper

She's safe
And getting baked for two
As a moment passes right through you
Yeah we
Can huddle up and prove
That the others were so right
When you see the rain
Lie down
In the weather death she dances around
In the weather death she's dancing
Wake up
And take a pill or two
To alleviate your fucked up head
These days
You need to show me proof
Ticking down you're feeling red
It's gonna take a long time
To get away from this place

Cryola!

Remember the days you were safe
With pockets that you could inflate
In Cryola off your head
Can you get back to your bed
Front door's open bleed instead
Of running
"So what if it gets to me?"
She said
"This field has a destiny"
Long dead
Cryola's in the water that you tread
Cryola's got the money that you spend
The beggars, they all disappear
It looks so good! Let's start a life here
So Wendy hold onto me
We've got other places we were meant to be
Flying free, like the movies
We can live in luxury
Come with me
Look at all the older people we might be
