Since this is the first time we have released a cd without the lyrics enclosed, we thought it would be nice to post them here. enjoy.

"help"
-this is not what i thought it would be
no, this is not what i need
i'm losing, i'm losing control today
you're quiet you've got nothing to say
my muscles they tighten and they constrict
i hope i don't suffocate myself to death
this is not what i thought it would be
it is not what i need
i need a touch, i need to strum i think maybe i need some help
this is not what i need
it is not what i thought it would be-

"love"
love is a word i could never really get to roll off my tongue
so i'm done with hope and certainty

you're a girl i could never quite figure out
so i've done without pleasantries

so if you come to me and i'm not concious, lie down with me
there's no use staying busy
and if i won't calm down, tell me to behave and i'll listen
oh i'll listen

love's a word that never really did quite figure out what its all about
forever or just right now

you paid, i ate, but i lost the weight
i just couldn't have that money in my belly


"Beach Front Property"

i've seen it all but i can't rid these shadows
will you wait for me to stop drifting like a piece of wood?
could you stop these wheels from spinning? i think you could

rejoice!
the coast is sliding into the sea
rejoice!
you will be carried to my doorstep on the crest of a wave

the midwest twisters have turned to a lovely sea breeze
can you believe it i'm sitting on beach front property
i'm sipping wine as the grain and gulls get drunk on the salt as it pools

"Walking on Water"
well guess what
the pond has frozen over
i'm walking on water
the lights reflects from the ice to your skin to your crooked teeth
i wanted them pressed on to mine

my chest is exploding
i want to be you. i want to wrap myself around you
not like those serpants that have tied you down
you're eating apples every single day

123...123....1..2 you're coming with me

who would have thought
i turned the water into wine
i'm drinking it down
the light reflects from the glass to your skin to your diamond ring
i want to pour myself out until i'm paper thin


"Constants"
can you handle it? the sugar filled veins
the decreasing sunlight and chilled autumn rains
your hair has grown long, and you've messed up
i hope you're okay

can you believe it? we've come this far
striped petti coats and run down cars
we say goodbye, run through the woods, the neighbors are at it again

you're a roller rink and i'm spinning in circles around you
like spring night skies that stay blue.
this warmth it misses you

there's so many constants i wish you were constant too

on the way home we talked about how i hadn't changed
and how i'd said i would come back one day to stay
well i know i know i should be killed
but this silence it's already killing me

so when you said you'd follow me wherever i'd go
well that scared the hell out of me i thought you should know
cause why oh why would someone follow around a bag of bones

"Picture of Departure"
something i said went straight to your head and now you look so sad
you climbed up a tree, under water i saw the world spin above me
so i held my breath, we called off the dogs and now we're just floating

so come down now
come down now from the trees
stretch your body and seams
we're a picture of departure and we hang on every word

i touched your dress and i felt its seems. we let the air roll through
time has such a way with words, with simple sides but we tangle them
we've learned to be patient for the quiet coming days.you're a miracle in marble room
