Don't cry Everything's alright Don't cry In June Everything's alright In summertime Everything's alright Don't cry.

Brown Bag 03:22
Another day, punch in punch out You're all I can think about It's hot as hell out here And there's a demon coming my way He says: "Hey, man, it's only forty ounces On up to heaven." And I say: "You don't got to tempt me twice, There's a lot I need off my mind, And this place just keeps getting further and further and Further under my skin Why don't you stick me down inside this little brown bag Take me across town, safe from prying eyes Man, what a night, Chasing me out of my own head Keep me close to the shadows You can lead me by the still waters Of this aimless, aimless life And the night, she won't come clean Twirling and beckoning to me Twisting into blurry starlight reveries On sides of streets At my elbow, the demons Keep on driving me Towards something at the end of my days And I say, "You don't got to tempt me twice, There's a lot I need off my mind." Why don't you stick me down inside this little brown bag Take me across town, safe from prying eyes Man, what a night, Chasing me out of my own head Keep me close to the shadows You can lead me by the still waters Of this aimless, aimless life

Stigma 04:44
Lied You lied Oh why You lied. 
And now, it's hard to do anything. Hard to do Anything Conditions Conditioning our experience Derricks that manufacture I'm a victim too With dark ire For your eyes Blind to everything but the stigma You're right, You're right I never saw anything But what I wanted to see And now, it's hard to do anything. Lied You lied Oh why You lied.

You are the headlights Halogen You are the kind that blinds Everyone You are the green In the traffic pattern I am hand to mouth Touch and go. But if I play my cards right I could be the first one in line To stop at the red light At the end of the road Maybe then I could have a minute or two To fiddle with the radio Or watch the squirrels climb Up and down the power lines While the cars stack up behind me You fools Waiting for news of stop and go From me. I am a candle In a hurricane You are a nuclear reactor On a sunny day Yes, I can see that my candle-power Is insignificant Next to yours But if I play my cards right I could be the first one out of the door When the reactor explodes Vaporizing everything In a fifty mile radius The particles of me Could be at the vanguard Of the ones that fall On Latvia Or somewhere equally as obscure. Wait a minute Wait a minute Wait a minute That's not snow That's not snow. That's not snow.

Let's See 03:57
That's quite enough of your condescension How foolish of me to speak my mind One day I will learn not to mention How hard I have to try To open up my eyes And see anything that's reassuring Oh lord, I have to try, I don't know why I must be sick I was never one of your gifted ones Not quite the man I want to be Never very good at accepting my boundaries 'Cause there is a voice in the back of my head It say: go on, go on Get what you can, be what you can Go on, go on, You can rest when you're dead. But I get so tired so quickly The weight of the world Chafes so easy on the skin of a coward And I carry both of them on my bones My blood runneth over 'Cause my soul is thirsty Try a year of this I'm on twenty-three Let's see what I can be Even though we're so close To the end of the story I will vie, I will die For a moment of levity Oh lord, I have to try I don't know why, I must be sick I was never one of your gifted ones Not quite the man I want to be Never very good at accepting my boundaries 'Cause there is a voice in the back of my head It say: go on, go on Get what you can, be what you can Go on, go on, You can rest when you're dead. But I get so tired so quickly The weight of the world Chafes so easy on the skin of a coward And I carry both of them on my bones My blood runneth over 'Cause my soul is thirsty

He Stood 04:00
He sat with an eye for the horizon And watched the tangerine unfold He'd heard all the talk of morning Among the strangers to the sky But he knew the nightfall well
 And he had come to be still For a valediction to the sun He stood He said Stay where you are tonight No moon, no stars to guide your feet Only the firelight from the cities While they burn to the ground behind you And the shadows on the road Are your own. Don't be afraid. We stood with an eye for the profit And realized what we'd done All those days in the sun Now we're through He stood He said Stay where you are tonight No moon, no stars to guide your feet Only the firelight from the cities While they burn to the ground behind you And the shadows on the road Are your own. Don't be afraid.

Absolution 05:53
Do you suppose that All of these moments As they light the lurid evening in passing Like fireflies in June Will ever be more Than minor inconveniences Minor indiscretions Minor points of light in a darkling scene I admit that sometimes I speak with a voice not my own Forgive me, there is so much here for my attention That my intentions tend to fail The minor detail that we all tend to be so frail Absolution? Absolutely. So much lighter without all the sin We carry so much more anyway Than what we need to wound each other To move each other Until we can barely recognize ourselves for all the blood Do you think I could run my fingers through your hair As we pass and part our ways? The nights for nightmares Come and go But I think that soon my heart will break upon The unfortunate ceiling Bearing the heat of my eyes Beaming beams up to heaven Minor points of light For all the angels and the demons So certain of home. All the creatures in between Left to their own devices Stumbling there Wherever it happens to be Now, Helen or Adonis, Do you suppose that hell or heaven Are something more than where you are Breathing? (Soon, we will all be on our knees, begging for) Absolution Absolutely So much lighter without all the sin We carry so much more anyway
Than what we need to wound each other To move each other Until we can barely recognize ourselves for all the blood Do you think I could run my fingers through your hair As we pass and part our ways?

Her tears come out Amphetamine salts Insults to the great God above her Who loaned her her eyes She'd gladly cry them out For the devil or whoever For a new way to look at this The ending of her days Day in, day out Inhale Tell me, though, Tell me that there's something more to The days of June Than what we leave behind here To catch fire while the skies burn Than skeletons and chemicals Ooh, I'm just as surprised as you Just when we got goin' so well Oh well All good things must "Get on with it," She said He was running his fingers where They had no right to be A crime of necessity Depending on your point of view "Fix me,'
She breathed. This day This now We've failed. Tell me, though, Tell me that there's something more to The days of June Than what we leave behind here To catch fire while the skies burn Than skeletons and chemicals Ooh, I'm just as surprised as you Just when we got goin' so well This day, this now We've failed
