Coelacanth 02:39
I am the coelacanth On wireless Internet I am primordial In ones and zeroes I'm hexidecimal I'm Auto-tuned just so I'm Beat-detected yo Still sound like shit though Let's go crazy one more time Then we're gonna fall in line What's scarier than success? What's more mystifying than your messy feelings? I am an instant Spewing eternity I am eternally What I was meant to be I am two parties Locked in a stalemate I am a hot and Contentious blind date Let's go crazy one more time Then we're gonna fall right in line What's scarier than success? What's more horrifying than those dirty feelings? I am a deaf blind snail Straight out the Burgess Shale I am the last blue whale Standing at the gates of Hell I heard they's having a garage sale Let's go crazy one more time Then we're gonna fall in line Let's go stare into the sun Let's burn all our bridges but one What's scarier than success? What's more tiring than what is? What could ever be more difficult than this? What's more mystifying than our messy feelings?

Pomona 03:35
Pomona 1st verse Used to see you at The Echo Didn’t know if I would ever know your name. Now I just can’t seem to let go My heart was pounding when you looked over my way with eyes that seemed to say You better play it right cause I don’t wanna leave tonight without you Without you Without you 2nd verse Drove my car up to Pomona Never thought that you would find me way out there You can check in if you wanna I’m goin’ crazy just to see what you would do But I can’t believe it’s true A feeling so sublime, that I never seem to find without you Without you Without you Without you Don’t you worry your head about this time, you gotta be free Bridge Back in the day when it seemed like forever, now I know that time can never be my reality Outro I’m gonna find my way without you Clean my clothes without you Watch Top Chef without you Button my shirt without you

The Way Out 04:09
Haunted by my own voice Haunted by my own heart Haunted by my own mind for a start Haunted by my senses Haunted by the stark night Bringing my defenses to light You can go a long way the wrong way these days You can go way out of the way out of fear You can come a little closer, my dear Haunted by disasters Haunted by solutions Haunted by beginnings and conclusions I could go a long way the wrong way today I could stray a ways off the path that is clear 'Cause you can go a long way the wrong way these days You can go way out of your way out of fear But why not come a little closer, my dear? I'm haunted by you As you sit there deaf & mute Will you open up your eyes & see? I'm haunted by you (You can go a long way) Are you haunted by me too? (The wrong way these days) Don't you know now is the way out? (You can go way out of The way out of fear) The way out of fear The way out of fear You can go a long way the wrong way these days You can go way out of the way out of fear You can go a long way the wrong way these days You can go way out of your way out of fear But why not come a little closer, my dear? You can come a little closer My ghost, my little monster Come a little closer, my dear

Two For One 04:32

You did yourself proudly You were something to behold You were bold and I was stifled Nevertheless we kissed I guess Could have been for the best When two men crept Out from the shadows With bats and ran us off Down the backstreets I missed thirteen Calls and texts from my ex and we were Scared they might have followed us To Denny's I want that to be first and not last I want that to be future not past You flew away from me You wouldn't put your life on hold And L5-S1 kept me at home She swooped in and we fell again Into such structured happiness But on nights like this I think of how those men crept Out from the shadows With bats and ran us off Down the backstreets I missed thirteen Frantic calls from Carol and we were Scared they might have followed us To Denny's I want that to be first and not last I want that to be future not past

S.u.s.s. 03:10
When we pile into a van and set out for some foreign land Panning for a market share with tempered hope & innocence I'll be picturing your face, March 25th 2008 The way it beamed up at the stage made a mediocre band sound great The guys turned down your invitation to an after-hours dive They were busy passing flyers and had to rest up for their drive But you shut up the Sunset Strip with just your voice and mandolin And I'd have drowned in my desire, but I was used to it by then I'll be picturing your face, rolling down the interstate Blessed with enough years & wisdom to make my pointless plans take shape I won't swerve from my destiny when it stakes its claim on me But when I'm standing on that stage, I wonder just whose face I'll see I'm sorry you're not in this story. I wish you'd mark it up in red I wish it were a work in progress. I wish I wouldn't finish it Could I get an "A" for effort? Am I getting warmer yet? You've never been around to answer so I'll write it again

Ask Me 02:36
I want you to ask me Why make me guess at what you want When you can just ask me? And then I can give it all I got To do what you've asked of me I want you to ask me I don't think I'm asking for a lot 'Cause if you would ask me I would never have to waste a thought I'd just do what you'd asked me to I want you to ask me I wonder if you know how to talk 'Cause you never asked me So I'll be stumbling 'round in the dark Until you ask of me I want you to ask me I've taken everything you've brought So why won't you ask me? 'Cause I can't be something that I'm not Unless you ask me to, oh God If you just ask me to, my God I'll change myself 'round for you I want you to ask me Why make me guess at what you want When you can just ask me?
