Shattered 02:39
you look like you could use some company bite the bullet love for me shatter your teeth and your dreams in the morning when you wake and your feet hit the floor shake the sand out of your eyes and bat them out the door. its shifting inside and there's lots of moving parts they'll crash and collide before they restart. stamp it out under foot and sink right through the floor they're filled with muck and mire the soft spots in the earth find yourself upside down cold and all alone pulled up by your own bootstraps don't you dare ever look back they're just flashing lights they might to start fall apart there's dirt in your finger tips that you can't get out your shifting inside and there's lots of moving parts they'll crash and collide before it restarts

Egg 02:49
oh i wish when i was born i would have hatched out of an egg with my legs full grown and i could stand up right away i'm leaving home i know ill miss the people and the places that've always known, packed up all my bags when i left i locked the door i'm moving on to see what life is really for i'm leaving home i know ill miss the people and the places that i've always known waved goodbye to mom, see my hair begins to grey, now i can talk to all of my friends about the game

Magicians 02:56

Funnybone 02:41
i lost my funny bone and felt so cold the only joke that i've ever told i wonder where he went and what she done every time that i bump my arm i see them writing on the wall don't try to fight it because they are too strong i hear them riding down the hall they've waited for their turn for so long can't tell what's going on or get to know what you do when you get home i wonder what they did and where it went every time that i think of it now every movement feels so wrong
7.
Centipede 03:22
what's that in the air i feel it everywhere if i do then so do you your gums are turning orange and skin is cracked and torn that's when i knew you were turning blue i feel this thing where did it come from where did it go i like to say again and again i'd like to feel this way again watch out harry don't you drink any water from the sink they're deep beneath the ground crawling squirming all around they are fat and full and purple but you're too cool to care you don't believe they're there but they are and they're working hard

Please 03:02
underneath those foggy eyes thin and fragile bones working hard despite the lack of calcium leaving me sweet in memory betrayed plans dissolved before they're made creatures live up in the sky shaking in their skin they're consuming our supply of oxygen leaving me incomplete in a memory half betrayed plans dissolve before they're even made underneath the cloudy eyes pulsing pulsing repulsing
