1.	Soft Sweet Wood in a Universe Full of Termites 03:18	lyrics	buy track
A floral arrangement in the corner or up on the wall Searching for a place to root instead of rot A bouquet of balloons floating up toward the ceiling Wishing, willing out the window and into the clouds Plant me in the ground so I may grow Don't leave me here to wilt I am adrift Stuck here on the surface with nowhere to hide
2.	The Inevitable Ouch 02:39	lyrics	buy track
No, that won't work. Ignoring pain won't prevent it's display. I can't explain why my fears are catching up with me. I can't bear to look. I can't afford to look away. I'd rather keep my eyes shut tight against the sight, but that won't solve my problems

4.	She's Possessed? That Sucks! 03:15	lyrics	buy track
Bright lights and sharp things Drawn in and rearranged I'm not who you think I am Who do you think I am Short breath in dark days Looked for in colder space I need to stay right here please let me stay right here No energy past survival Waiting for a sensation Waiting to know I'll be fed Waiting for you to be here

7.	Whip Out a Sad Macarena (and Fake it 'Till You Die) 04:12	lyrics	buy track
Pulling free my feet I'm stuck in the mud Stomping 'round without Any place in mind Sludge slows down my pace Stopping now won't fly Buzzards looking out For their favorite meal Silhouette hidden in the inky night Missing teeth broken out: stars among earth Life once looked like a hallway ending in a door Now it looks like a garden littered with rocks
