Needle
Your mind gets me like a monster
Tangles me up and turns me askew
If we were The Sheep ™, maybe you would be Magenta
Counting the moons some silvery dunes
Just put the needle in the groove
And it happens for you.
Just put your feet in the shoes
There’s a magical glue.
Loosen my tether and unbutton the sky cuz I’m a cloud
Sailing around
Nowhere to go, nothing to leave behind
The desert sleeps like a dog by our bedside
And there’s a broken chair on the porch in the moonlight
Just put the needle in the groove
It will happen for you
Just put your feet in the shoes
This is magical glue
You can’t be running late
If you’re always coming back to the same
Celestial place
The glue is going to free your mind
Just put the needle in the groove
It will happen for you
Just put your feet in the shoes
This is magical glue

Traveling High
Feeling like cave dwellers in a picturesque dream,
we lay flat on a stone and let the desert take control of our minds.
Lost in the sky, clouds take the shape of metal band names.
You and I were meant to be here and so high.
I could cry, its so beautiful what I know inside
Inside of my mind.
It’s alright if you want to take one for the flight.
I don’t mind – cuz nothing’s better than traveling high.
Who’s got the keys? Who’s a better driver than me?
I feel free with two windows down, one hand in the breeze.
And I believe we can save ourselves from the East Coast Mentality.
I could cry, its so beautiful what I know inside
It’s all in my mind.
It’s alright if you want to take one for the flight
You’re on time, pop it before the security line
Trust in your mind – nothing’s better than traveling high

Monday in Spain
Waiting for the weekend waves
Drifting into outer space
Living somewhere far away from this stranger’s desk
Monday in Spain, it’s a holiday
Let’s make a change and spend our time some other way
Monday in Spain, it’s a dream come true
I didn’t know that you wanted it too
I’ll give up on paying rent,
Take up smoking cigarettes,
Get you in a summer dress and watch you by the sea.
Monday in Spain, it’s a holiday
Let’s make a change and spend our time some other way
Monday in Spain, it’s a dream come true
If only I’d known that you wanted it too
Don’t you see we could be free so easily?
Monday in Spain, it’s a holiday
Let’s make a change and spend our time some other way
Monday in Spain, it’s a dream come true
If only I’d known that you wanted it too

Disguise
When you’ve gone away
I feel a little more alone each day
Waiting for the sky to turn blue
And wearing my disguise for you
They’ve all left us for the sun
Feel I’m the only one who’s given up
And softened in your eyes
I’m wearing my disguise for you
I got what I wanted
I can’t complain
Love takes its time
Love takes its time
Love passes time away
Anyway
and I thought I’d play it safe
just go the simple way
and never see a change
just look the other way
As the feeling slips away from you

Flashlight Radiation
It’s 4am and I’m nodding off to abstracts on pub med again
There must be something wrong with me
I know there’s something wrong with me
Flashlight radiation, guide me through my own dark imagination
Flashlight radiation, every day is a beautiful frustration
What’s left that I can control?
Try to control you, try to control my environment
There must be something wrong I didn’t know that I did
There must be something wrong with how I’ve chosen to live
I don’t think so
Just give me some Flashlight Radiation
Guide me through my own dark imagination
Flashlight Radiation, every day is a beautiful frustration
Flashlight Radiation,
Flashlight Radiation, every day is a beautiful frustration

Early Anatomy
Floating through a place that’s inside of you
Following your shape in the evening
And I know they’ll have your capacity
And they’re forming early anatomy
It’s hard to set aside some important things
I’m following the path as it forms
We’re hallucinating reality
And we’re forming early anatomy
Every single night, every single day
It get’s a little lighter, it’s getting in the way
But you’ve all you need to be free
Always seen your love through these sliver eyes
knew that you’d be patient as the sun
And your lighting new curiosities
As they’re forming early anatomy
We’re hallucinating reality
And we’re forming early anatomy

Stuck in an Algorithm
Stuck in an algorithm
Trying to make up my mind
Warring chiefdoms in my head
I don’t want to be unkind
Adorable babies cuddled up with surly cats
The look in her eye as she tries on ironic hats
Secretly wishing she could wear them all in earnest
I’m stuck in an algorithm
Stuck in an algorithm
Stuck in an algorithm
Wiling away the time
Scrolling through an endless strip of imagined perfect lives
Stuck in an algorithm
Stumbling to meet your eyes
I try to put my love into words but its all just tangled wires
a million messages in bottles floating free
you don’t have to say it to anyone else out loud but me
unless there’s someone else you think our lives should impress
Stuck in algorithm
Stuck in algorithm
Stuck in algorithm
Stuck in an algorithm
Trying to get through to you.
And everyone else is too.
I’m stuck in algorithm
Wasting away the time
I put my love into the world and it finds you, right?

Open Your Eyes
I want to run but I can’t see straight anymore
And the room spins as I turn towards the door
Just press it down baby cuz it will find you
Wish it away every day it shines through you
A kind of love that overtakes your free will
What if I wanted you?
I only needed you to open your eyes.
Open your eyes.
Come on and open your eyes.
A kind of love that never could be controlled
An untamed wilderness where we live alone
Would you forgive me if I pulled you out into the light
And would you hold me to an honest and lonely life
I know you feel it too
You only need to open your eyes
Open your eyes.
Until you say no I’ll ask you
Over and over again.

The Egress’ Dream
When the future seems to open
And uncertainty is free from fear
I will lead you on a journey
To the center of the egress’s dream
Where the rivers flow with LaCroix
And I’ll whisper in your ear
Our love is the only thing here
The periphery is glowing
I am standing on a rotating sphere
All is desolation
Our love is the only thing here
