1.
Write me a letter back Pass me the bottle please I'm drowning And as the night goes on, the nightmares fade away. And as we fade away, the stars shine overhead: twinkling lives we'll never lead all staring back at us like well-intentioned sheep waiting for the slaughter or our next drink and I can't think of a better place to be. No, I can't think of a better place to be.

Keanan 02:08
Well, we're wasting away like moss on dead branches The creek has gone dry and so have our veins There's a mural on the wall of the forest that surrounds us It's our attempt at staying wild, though we know we're all caged Who's going to sing for the ghost of Paul Sweet when we're gone? Well, the band's always playing but not always together The old piano's teeth are worn and ground down While the paint fades and peels and the pipes rust over the Spirit remains orchestrating cricket serenades But who's going to sing for the ghost of Paul Sweet when we're gone?
3.
Chase the smoke as it dances out my mouth and over tombstones another Sisyphean day Look up as the world zooms out See the paper circle in the sky floating behind gray smudges left by unknown illustrators There's no more reason to be brave But you try and that's good enough for me. Our egos battle one another locking horns and making love Communication hurts you always say But you try and that's good enough for me A purple haze lifts from my temples I view the future through cracked sunglasses you don't understand my translator's fritzing there's a questioning look in your eyes But you try and that's good enough for me Yeah, you try and that's good enough for me

The Creature 01:12
Are you ashamed of what you've made or afraid of what I've become? My life at your command, Modern-day Prometheus We angels of death must dance Is there meaning to all this? We can't escape the eyes of God, though History is more forgiving Memories outlive their meaning, Modern-day Prometheus
