Open Mind 03:41
open eyes what will i see? purple and green? or bright white lights? close my eyes what will i feel? what I cannot see ? what i can't believe ? open mind what will i be? what will i fear? what will i fear? open mind who will i be? who will i fear? who will i fear? the straight line of the infinite the curve of the finite the straight line of the infinite the curve of the finite the most delicate perceptions the most invisible translations the most delicate perceptions the most invisible translations

Drifter 05:09
come be an outsider come be an outsider everyone loves to take a peek of an inside outsider looking for a drifter looking for a drifter hey mr drifter please stand still I’d like to take your picture somewhere out on the highway where the towns can't be forgotten since they've never been known except for those who call it home come be an outsider we're all Indians now living on third-hand lands when the past is a foreign land everyone loves a black man when he comes without a burden a nowhere man, with his nowhere past drifting on to nowhere what an apparition what an apparition a sight to my soul, to behold such an apparition

Gravity 04:55
my brother believing in the end, is no act of a belief does an apple believe in its fall from the tree? by the unseen hand of gravity just an act of being an act of seeing no action at all I've considered a wave crashing on the beach The way the waters cover the deep Down the street, a tree has forgotten all it's leaves by the unseen hand of gravity (is) believing is more than seeing (is) seeing is more than feeling this tug of gravity piety without content nostalgia and relief the sacred lost the burden lifted nostalgia and release sentimental solitude

Clowns Pt 1 02:51
to see and be seen is a simple pleasure in life it looks to me like a circus some pleasure in the sight everybody on display like a piece in a museum every body on display like kids on halloween and it's always the same same skin, same game new name, same play Something I can't seem to shake she is a ghost chosen and unknown like a lens to be seen through a spectacle and sacrifice a wilderness of information more to see than can be known more to know than can be owned and we remain, unknown

Clowns Pt 2 03:05
put yourself in front of the camera we’re all so curious to see what we know will be there its absurd we even care altamont is behind us the revolution is over we don't have to go home there’s nothing left to see a shot in your arm. your seed underground. an experience to be found. who are you to let them down. take my body, but don't take it too far. the kids will be watching who are we to let them down. every circus needs a clown. staggering and stammering through an age-old habit to see and be seen is to be and have been

The End 03:48
What is this way of being friends? You work so hard at being alone. Why are you always looking for a fight? I wonder why I even try Do you remember on those days We'd share our thoughts about this place You would hide and deny Fighting a need to not be alone What is it that you'd like to do? Where is it that you'd like to go? You disdain and hate and blame And push away those inside You found a way in this crowded space To always feel like you’re alone Loving you wasn't easy to do I wonder if its worth the time When you’re about to pick a fight I wonder why I even try Who is it that you’d like to be? What is there to be waiting for?
