Five On Four 04:47
For example when i play five notes sticking in a four notes frase i know i have to play it over five beats way ‘cose when you say stop this odd line fucking blows my brain single sticking like a costant thinking so i moved away when i play rhythm is painting brand new landscapes i know i have to play it over my beats way ‘cose when you say stop this odd line fucking blows my brain well i won't hear you scream no more fucking blows my brain cose I please your pain when you say stop this odd line fucking blows my brain well i won't hear you scream no more fucking blows my brain noose blooded face bruised you still avoid but i'm still grooving

Cage 04:03
Oh if i do my way everyday hybernating the smell of drastic change and only who leaves behind with those mind whatever you sniff it smoke it eat it just leave it on my way your result is the same addiction if i do my way Everyday climbing on the smell of drastic change and only who leaves behind with those mind whatever you sniff it smoke it eat it just leave it on my way your result is the same addiction have you ever smiled running away from the 99' everyday

Lay Down 04:44
LAY DOWN ON THE NIGHT SOUND BEGIN TO RUN TILL YOU ARE DOWN DOWN DOWN Long time lookin' at the sun but now I cannot get hurt I cannot get hurt A blue neon sign reads: Luna Lounge The only light in the room outside, no more moon It takes a while for a body to die pain getting worse I can't feel anymore any man with sense could see this job aint made for me any man with sense could see that you are only stuff LAY DOWN ON THE NIGHT SOUND BEGINNIG TO RUN TILL YOU ARE DOWN DOWN DOWN

I walk down the streets where the flowering branch has fallen for party end I do usual things under lighting flash I pick up some violets from the bareground and bind them together something given you by me today I am sick of prettiness I miss the silence where we could shelter I miss the quiet of ordinary things the paper-knife you did stuck between the pages I do usual things under lighting flash you’re gone across the circle drawing finer the thread I walk down the streets where the flowering branch has fallen for party end I do usual things under lighting flash you’re gone across the circle drawing finer the thread

Picture 04:29
Take a picture where you are you could see things through through the dark the dark it works for a while it works bye bye bye i changed my life pick out a smile and i feel no blind your shining smile changed my life and i feel no blind don't waste it babe dont loose yourself M J Take a picture of your home you could see things through through the dark the dark it works for a while it works bye bye bye i change my life pick out a smile and i feel no blind your shining smile changed my life and i feel no blind don't waste it dont loose yourself M J

leaves me motionless wanting to scream that if i don't open my eyes you will fade away do you like walk your desert a lot of snakes stormy weather It usually kicks in around 8 blind steps when your brain loses its sense slowly at first almost like an itch building to a maddening confusion Now I’ve been playing around step by step all my trust and makes no sense all my trust and makes no sense do you like walk your desert a lot of snakes stormy weather It usually kicks in around 8 blind steps when your brain loses its sense slowly at first almost like an itch building to a maddening confusion
