Wanderlust 03:07
Took a trip to clear my mind, Didn't know where to go All I needed was far away from home. Took a trip to see the lights But found myself all alone, Felt myself turning in to stone... Cho: But in Tallahassee.... I'll find myself again... Just one more move... Left the wild to join the crowd Didn't think I'd miss the breeze You can't see the forest for the trees. In the concrete, Felt so hard Felt like jagged broken shards. Wherever you go well there the hell you are... Cho

Cocorico 03:20
Do you know how roosters talk in French? Silly, I know. Strange that they would sound different In "Cocorico". Cho: Cocorico... Early at dawn when stars begin to yawn, It's beckoned at once. And into the day, while hens yet lay He's singing his song all morning long.

Amorous 04:37
I'm happy nuzzled into your chest, I'm happy when you tug at the zip of my dress I'm happy for kinetics of flesh upon flesh Yeah, yeah, yes. I'm happy at the feel of your tongue I'm happy in the knowledge that you are my someone I'm happy when we start, I'm happy when we are done Can't fight this. Cause you have the keys to my heart and my soul But we are corporeal Longing to feel Ahhh.... honey....aaaahhh.. Cho: Ready? Set Go, go, go, uh-huh, uh-huh What's that? Go, go, go, uh-huh, uh-huh Oh! Oh... it's good for you, it's good for us... Amorous... I'm happy as I follow your lead I'm happy as you peel away your shirt and your jeans I'm happy as we rock, as we roll and then sleep Oh, my, yes. I'm happy in the warmth of your arms I'm happy that you never back away too far I'm happy at how excited you are How excited you are Cause you have the keys to my heart and my soul But we are corporeal, Longing to feel Cho

(Try, try, try, tryyy) I might surprise you again I do not want to stay friends This could be real, This could be right I'm closing my eyes... I'm taking my chances on you I don't do romances, it's true But this time I think that I'll Give it a try Cho: I'll give it a Try, try, try, tryyy... (Gimme a-ha) Try, try, try, tryyy... (Gimme a-ha) Try, try, try, tryyy... (Gimme a-ha) Try, try, try, tryyy... (Gimme a-ha) Give me simplicity Give me your heart If we walk complicitly It may not fall apart... I might surprise you again I do not want to stay friends This could be real, This could be right I'm closing my eyes...

Yes 05:38
Do I love you? (Yes) Do I want you? (Yes) Can I handle it? Nothing but to see! My heart is beating out a metronome of hope and love To you, to you For you, for you My mouth is singing out the words I wish I could say To you, to you For you, for you And how we hold these feelings close This jar is far too small, it's far too small And how we hold back the hands of time Wishing but not doing, not doing, hmm... Cho Break; Do I, do I? Do I, do I? Do I, do I? Do I, do I? Cho Break

Forget 04:30
Slow hands, Cold feet, Tough face Is what you said to me Don't like that talk Don't walk that way to me Don't watch my face Cause I don't wanna say what I've been thinking You got your own way But I'm not the principle that you should know You are not ready for the ride. Caught up Entranced Like the palms in the sky we dance You didn't have much to say You didn't know my name But I think you're playing a game with me. You got your own way But I'm not the principle that you should know You are not ready for the ride (If you ask me I might tell you you're not ready yet. If you can't commit then let's just say goodbye and forget.)
8.
Paper thin, Like a flower petal I'm soaked in Raindrops beating me a heart, Beating strange Beating rage. An eye for that Which absorbs and gives me nothing back But change is natural enough Growing tough Floating on... Cho: But yeah, when're you coming back? Yeah... what'd'you think of that? I tied myself To another for a source of health But here I am a branch apart Stretching up Stretching smart. And now I see All the pieces of you in me But I think it's time to leave Time to breathe Blossoms bloom.

Clocks 03:56
One step on the water for a second. Sixty steps and I'm a time machine. But the controls are stuck on forward While the engines long to go back. Two steps on the water for a minute. Sixty and I'm a time machine. But my ears look round And my eyes see sound. Sixty steps on water for an hour Twenty three more and I'm a time machine But the shell breaks down And no help's come round... 364 steps into the water One more and I'm a time machine But the kids don't come round And I'm too close to the ground. Well will you bury? Or will you raise a pyre? Cause I've always been in water And now I see dry land... But that's what clocks do... they tick until they don't.
11.
Parallax 04:20
Slowly timber the will to the axe of the time parallax. I can see heavens descending upon this troubled breath, It's a sudden death until the moment of sight. Recognition and shifting positions All of your heartfelt words get swept into its path of least resistance. In this tornado of feeling I'm caught, I'm sold, I'm bought. I bought into the temper... I bought into the will... I bought in shifting parallaxis.... In this tornado of feeling I'm caught, I'm sold, I'm bought...

You... you stood in line Just like a child Like a good child But I... I broke through I broke the rules To get to you But now that you see me here Well I bet that you wonder how I broke through? But I will stay with you I will find a way I will find a way. Just don't look back Cause I'll turn to salt Is that what you want? Is that what you want? Cho: Don't look back!
14.
Wave 02:57
Forest dancer, Are you like me? Waving at trees? Forest dancer, Living carefree Are you like me? Like me? As you... Cho: Wave to go, hmmm... Wave to go, ooooo, I, Wave to go, hmm... Wave... your hands..... Hands, hands, hands, hands.... Break: [Spoken] I was walking through the woods, Dark night, Flashlight Burning bright into the path. As I walked (Now) I had my earphones on And I was listening to this song and it was just... Transporting me somewhere else. So I danced. In the dark. By myself. It was pretty cool. (Now)
15.
UNREAL: There's something unreal about ya And there's something unknown There's something unreal about ya I guess I'll never know... Hey, take me away I will follow you anywhere you want to go... I think it's time for this trip to come to a close, don't you know. MOMENTS: Runny sunlight drips into my lungs, Choke the laughter from my smokey breath And as the sunlight trips onto my tongue I speak the words that beat out of my chest Are you.... into this? Feeling this? (I really really want to know) Ride on.... I express this open and intimate, intimate... I reflect this moment and watch it sink, watch it sink... Ride on...
16.
Wake. Speak. Grow... All for you. Take heed, Know what you do. So young... And yet you're older So young... I wouldn't know her So young... And so misguided But also wiser than me. I picture your face but leaves fade... Tough and scratching at rooted stars A tree bark By the river Styx that I tap my ritual time to Blue skies and thunder cries, Ancestors hear me now... Transfix me like the weather. Tripping up and down on the run From where we came from Silly children can't you see That we were born to be More than this? Born to be transfixed. Transfix me like the weather.

Unlike the child who sleeps, You can't spend time counting sheep... And unlike the blurry fall Of age and learning into nought.... You've got the world around Tell me what you've written down? A sea of idle thought Never seeking what you've sought Pre-Chorus: Formula's & sketches Of all you see Pretend To show reality Cho: For the word "define" Requires the finite With a separation from the rest And experience Is the consequence Of a universe that separates itself. Verse 2: Under the apple tree You've got knowledge for a fee. Your lifespan: short, defined; You can't spend it killing time. 'Cause you've got the world around Tell me, are your systems down? Your brain, your eyes, your hands - Tell me what happens to them? Pre-Chorus: Algebra & anthems Of all of history Pretend To show reality Cho: As phenomena Make a life abrupt & unchained, I predict you see Unfurling debris of Truth & Permanence.
