Shit Don't Change Much (free) 04:03
lyrics

So when you asked me, "what happens when we die?" I said, "our minds go in the ground without a sound." But you didn't believe me even when I said "the electricity stops within our heads" And now you're thinking, "what's she thinking now that she is gone?" she's not thinking anything! The soul's just what the mind does There's nothing in front of you, Nothing to comprehend No endless buffet no non-stop TV There's no puffy clouds no vast expanse of black your frame of reference is gone just try to get it back And now you're thinking, "what's she thinking now that she is gone?" she's not thinking anything! The soul's just what the mind does

Ghosts of Parking Lots (free) 04:48
lyrics
download
Buses empty going nowhere Buildings empty filled with no one People living dying dead Airplanes crashing into nothing Nothing not even a sound Just empty spaces, empty words The ghosts of parking lots The absent look on your face Buildings empty at 5 o'clock Ants scurry underground As giants lumber overhead Shaking the foundations below Nothing not even a sound Just empty spaces, empty words The ghosts of parking lots The absent look on your face

Quance & Forever (free) 04:14
lyrics
download
Stars flutter like teeth Lean in your frame, draw in your streets. Homes, sprawled by the creek. If we must grow stale, we'll grow stale by degrees We never know what we're doing, But we're doing it now. We never know what we're doing. Soft grunts of the earth; councils of men, choirs of dirt. Franchise front page with copyright words. Piles of bones scratched out and blurred. We never know what we're doing, But we're doing it now. We never know what we're doing. I can hardly bear to see it. I can hardly bear to see it. I can hardly bear to see it, now.

Save Me (free) 04:06
lyrics

Wake up, the lights are blurry as the rain comes down over my window Pull on a sweater get out of bed get ready for a new day I'm ready for the troubles of real life and ready to dive right into the thick of it all Maybe we could go to Paris or Amsterdam or maybe to Winnipeg Wake up, the lights are blurry streets slick my sight is failing I want you to save me

The World's Tallest Man (free) 03:23
lyrics
download
Someone told me about a man who lifted a building high above his head while he solved math problems I just have to find out for myself He's the world's tallest man Someone told me he couldn't walk without a cane he doesn't know his name or where he came from (do any of us?) What if he can't even tie his own shoes without your help? I guess I'll have to find out for myself He's the world's tallest man Someone told me he's fine with being nothing more than myth an urban legend to get the kids to learn right from wrong. Can that even happen? Is it right to assume that things will work out? In the end, probably not. I guess I'll have to find out for myself.
