A Castle for Howie (free) 05:00
lyrics

i am living in a dream i dont think that its wise to follow me in so high in these trees i built a castle for howie so high in these dreams you can close your eyes ill clap my hands for the shiny happy people spinning down again falling from the sky like glitter eyes the light will bring them back again im in trouble again i am living in the sea i dont think that its safe to be here with me so low in the deep i built a submarine for howie so low in the deep you can close your eyes ill clap my hands for all the shiny happy people falling down again you can raise your arms i will raise my voice we can run into a purple setting sun again i will play guitar beneath the clouds and watch the birds come back again we will watch the cars as they leave town bare-naked as we were found im in trouble again

The End (free) 05:02
lyrics

all i ever wanted was a shiny blue car to take me away far from where we are all i ever needed was a hole in the heart a place to refill from a place to restart all i ever hoped for was a bird that could sing and speak to me about unspeakable things and all i ever want is to hold your smile in my hands because in the end we all leave alone we all leave a lonely life behind all i ever wanted was a horse with no name to take me to places that ive never been and all i ever hoped for was a house in the shade of the hills all i ever needed was a grave in the ground rose quartz stone with my named carved on it a sign to remind me of what comes in the end a sign to remind me that when we leave we all leave alone we all leave a lonely life behind

Leave it Plain (free) 04:27
lyrics
download
I would just like to lay my head in the sun let the rays run around - let the rays run around i would just like to hear the birds in the trees singing to me - singing to me if your ring doesnt love your hand just leave it plain - just leave it plain and if all of your hair is turning grey just leave it plain - just leave it plain ohh dear i do fear that the rain here it only moves south i did not call but i left you a note on the wall did you read what it said theres no fog your mind it just doesnt want to see at all to see at all theres no rain but the heart is a puddle and your brain has become the drain i would just like to soak my head in the lake let the fish swim around - let the fish swim around i would just like to rest for a while on this hill let the days dance around - let the days dance around if your ring doesnt love your hand just leave it plain - just leave it plain and if all of your hair is turning grey just leave it plain - just leave it plain i would run with you into the mountains and watch the clouds run away and id hide my eyes under the blankets of snow reflecting so bright i didnt call but i left you a note on the wall did you read what it said theres no fog your mind it just doesnt want to see at all to see at all theres no rain but the heart is a puddle and your brain has become the drain

Only a Child (free) 03:12
lyrics

i am just a child with nowhere to go i am just a child on the side of the road please leave the lights off but wake me up before you go i cant feed the horse in your house all alone i cant keep this castle from falling alone paste the face on the kittens in the kitchen and lap their milk with your tongue dear its already coming undone paste the tail on the rabbit in the attic and comb their tail with your tongue dear its already coming undone i am just a child with a rose i am just a child nobody knows please leave the lights off but wake me up before you go i cant feed the horse in your house all alone i cant hold this sun up all alone give your heart to the hare by the stairs waiting to take your coat its already coming undone give your heart to the woodchuck in the foyer waiting to say goodbye its already coming undone

im dreaming of static and roses on the ground i fallen like this before into a darkness put my love into the wrong place i wish that i could see an end to the madness that lives inside of me im manic but cannot feel im convinced that none of this is real im in the wrong world im in the wrong world i am a dreamer that cannot sleep i am a believer in disbelief i am an addict that does not use i am used to the abuse im dreaming of static and roses on the floor ive felt like this before i am losing to a darkness inside of me im manic but cannot feel im convinced my depression isnt real theres just a monster theres just a monster inside of me theres just a monster in me i am a drinker that does not drink i am a smoker that does not smoke i am an addict that does not use i am used to the abuse i am used to the abuse im in the wrong world

about

Humans are unable to distinguish color when either light or darkness predominate. In the absence of light, perception is achromatic and ultimately, black.
