Fun Funeral 05:04
Fun Funeral Wake up it’s time for fun funeral Put on your best gown for the black ball Put on your veil to hide your smile Now you’ve finally won your trial Brothers and sisters gather round You’ll try to keep from laughing out loud Now you can see him Now you can see him Go down Just twelve years old but still a find Transfusing youth into a misguided mind Flashing bills in a parking lot Buying Barbies for a girl she’s not Sharing his bloodlines awkwardly Now it’s time to put this hell to sleep Now you can see him Now you can see him Go down

Bed Death 05:25
bed death so many Hollywood whores on parade so much flesh for me to rise but in the cemetery we'd lay side by side our names inscribed by tooth and nail but you're alone and so am I punctured by the life we hide bring it on back stained wedding dress under the bed your red panties a distant memory this house is almost empty me and a teapot whistling harmony bring it on back you rage and I fury arms and needles thrown when all we need to throw down is each other bring it on back cause you're laying down with everything you're laying down your everything

I could be anyone any more I can tell that it’s started now and I can’t stop it Hole in the sky and it’s burning us all giving sunshine cancer And you feel like it’s all been done it’s already over And I feel it coming on I can’t stop it Coming out of that soft woolen home is a hard place to go You sit alone in that sensory vacuum while I’m out riding horses But you’ve been held in for so long it’s killing you slowly And I cannot follow you there, come on over here I don’t know who I am anymore I could be anyone any more But it’s all the same to me And I’m everything at once I can tell that’s all finished now and it’s what I’d been wanting An atom bomb pins our shadows to the wall and it’s all we have left And you fist the handle one more time winding and winding And I will explode into a thousand parts and put myself together I don’t know who I am anymore I could be anyone any more But it’s all the same to me And I’m everything at once

Open your eyes You’re lying here next to me Holding my hand that you can not feel Burning through my memories Night and day dreams that are real Outside of your body People come and go Saying their goodbyes But inside your body We’re only shadows Dancing on the other side Open your eyes Before you die Take back your black and blue life There’s only one life come on outside deliver paradise all the ghosts inside your bedroom are not allowed to bang the gavel ghosts can’t harm you the ones who love you are a beautiful place and feeling good means seeing her face come on home

Superlady 02:10
Superlady I wanted you to be my superlady But everything has it’s own time I wanted you to be my superlady But I’ve got to fix myself I wanted you to be my superlady But I’ve got to care I wanted you to be my superlady And you are R Peoples

Unbound 03:56
Unbound everyone is so tired of lugging you around everyone is so tired of you dragging us down every time I see you you’ve got a new crown no one here needs you, to you we’re not bound the time has come for me to move away from you the son has come to claim his rightful place we’re tearing down the throne you’ve always ruled from my mother sends you off with no bye bye bye the place where you lay to sleep is falling done in by neglect and by storm the wooden spoon you used on us has broke everyone knows all about it the love we share will break this spell and all that’s gone on will be done you have been so hung up and it’s time to move on the love we share will break this spell and all that’s gone on will be done you have been so hung up and it’s time to move on

Deep-Sea Diver Falling fast under the ocean Away from everyone The great black vastness that I‘ve always wanted Is finally mine for the taking And all the real world with all of its problems Don’t even matter while I’m sinking Now that I’m passed 100 feet I turn my light on and don’t see Deep-sea diver is forging ahead to where no one is looking for Pressure is building he has trouble breathing in the air No light, no air 200 feet and my teeth are cold And I’m finally reaching Nobody around to know me Or even to know my name Nothing sounds in this deep anyway All silence and doom breeding I thought I went in to discover Touched the bottom and be my own lover Deep-sea diver is floating back to the top A lonely raft in the sun Sometimes after too much introspection You’re left the only one No light, no love

Lullaby #1 03:06
Lullaby Go to sleep dream a dream we’ll still be here when you wake up Float in space I touch your face as your day ache flies away You’re a child lovely child there’s no reason tonight to grow up Lay your thoughts down to soar off the pillow into nowhere Go to sleep dream a dream there’s no reason to wake up Thank you mother for laying down with me Thank you sister for showing me the way Thank you brother for hitting me so soft Thank you father for making me feel large
