Pretty Girl 03:25
Pretty Girl, walking with the beat Do you know, you're so pretty girl So why'd you take your time In making up that face of yours to show the world Cause every single morning Of every singe day You look into the mirror, wondering Why am I stuck this way? Why don't you believe that you are beautiful How can you believe that you aren't suitable For me Even if I mentioned to it to you you would Probably disagree Comparing your looks with all the ads You see on tv Cause every single moment Of every single day's ,spent You look into the mirror, wondering Why am I stuck this way? Why don't you believe that you are beautiful How can you believe that your aren't suitable For me Trust me when I say, that you are beautiful Never stop and think that you aren't suitable Everything you do is simply wonderful So I should be the one who isn't suitable For you

I wanna go faster than the speed of light Where ever anybody was before I wanna go out farther than The very concept of stellar space And when I get there I wanna do it again Do it again Do it again "In a fully darkened room one lit match is interesting. It creates light enough to see, dimly, for everyone." I wanna go faster than the speed of thought Gonna think myself into the centre of a spiral mandelbrot I'll find the centre of the centerless And when I get there I'm gonna do it again Do it again Do it again Go on get out there For your own good The psychedelic space man Says you should I wanna see the end of infinity, ty, ty And find myself less be reflecting perfectly Farther, farther, farther, farther out When I get there I'm gonna say it again Say it again Say it again Go on get out there for your own good The psychedelic spaceman says you should Go play with fire and you'll know what leaves "The lighthouse stands alone. All by itself. Shining a light that others may or may not see it, to steer them into safe harbours, with their own choice. The Matchbearer, is sitting with the match, has illuminated it for themselves yet it effects all around them in a positive way. The Matchbearer says nothing. Those around them may not know the name of the Matchbearer. They may not even know they've lit a match! All they know is they can see. The further a human being see past themselves and their immediate family. The more peace there is." - Kryon, of Magentic Service

Time of Day 02:59
I know the world's gone crazy I know the world could use some help I know it wont come easy To sort out one big, living hell Lets start with all this tension Let's say we give it peace of mind Let's say that we're both honest Let's hope that it works out just Fine is good to start But perfect is an art Some one told me once, we Love what we can't have Know what? I know I sound crazy But give me the time of Give it the time of day I know it looks hazy But give me the time of Give me the time of day I know that you feel something I see the fire 'hind those eyes I know that you've come down with a another case of love life su-- Aside from all the cast Friendship can come last Someone told me once: we love what we can't have Shove it. I know I sound crazy But give me the time of Give it the time of day I know it looks hazy But give me the time of Give me the time of day I know I sound crazy But give me the time of Give it the time of day I know it looks hazy But give me the time of Give me the time of day

Stupid Cupid 03:57
Jack frost has really done it this time around he's Pulling not only the temperature but my love life down I'm hoping something comes along to thaw this frozen heart here But the hottest day can only come round once a year I'm trailed by a stupid cupid Armed with a bow and a quiver full of qu-tips Which catch in the wind and whiz right by my heart Every body from the snowman on is falling in love Speaking of those sacred vows while I melt in the sun What I wouldn't give to get a hold of cupid's quiver But Santa don't deliver match making miracles no more We're trailed by a stupid cupid Armed with a bow and a quiver full of matches Which catch in the wind and whiz right by my heart We're trailed by a stupid cupid Armed with a bow and a quiver full of qu-tips Which catch in the wind and whiz right by my heart Take the shot, take take the shot

Vent 03:07
I will hold you to your word, I will hold you to your word I will pin you to the wall with all you wish I never heard I will watch the kettle boil. I will scheme, I will toil I will push you out the door when all my stomach knots uncoil You may think I fall to hard You don't fall to hard enough Pre elected by the reelings Of the hooks that let you off I pull in but run aground As you gently sink back down And I curse the very Surface of this earth For being round I will hold you to the light, I will hang you out to dry From the filaments you never meant to bind and then untie I will taste the satisfaction, I will waste not but a fraction Of my days as all your actions give away your patient lies I will never stop at nothing if the nothing keeps me bent Poking holes into my lungs so I can shut my mouth and vent With the hammer and the sickle, pulling swords from stubborn stones As per aspera ad astra, viva la revolution You may think I fall to hard You don't fall to hard enough Pre elected by the reelings Of the hooks that let you off I pull in but run aground As you gently sink back down And I curse the very Surface of this earth For being round But in my final hour, I will wash your feet and cry Prick my fingers, spread the blood over my cheeks, under my eyes But this is not my final hour You may think I fall to hard You don't fall to hard enough Pre elected by the reelings Of the hooks that let you off I pull in but run aground As you gently sink back down And I curse the very Surface of this earth For being round

Paper Boats 03:20
Decision decisions decisions.  Every decision is the linch pin Of a personal revision.   At it's heart: conviction, An incision in the fission  of tragedy and vision  Like the thought of wading  Through the act of believing that I may want you. Every fibre of my being  Is Kicking  And is screaming  And i'm Hoping I wake up from this dreaming  I am a crash and burn Cassanova So roll over Zorro Your grave is far to shallow To narrow me down I need to split it like the atom Like a split second Like a split moon I'm splitting it apart I am a wisher on stars. I am a skipper of stones across the vast  Lakes of loves and lovers. I stake out a solemn little spit of shore  And watch my skipping pebble  Ripple and spring on the puddle's  Sexual Surface tension. Sexual surface tension I am a crash and burn Cassanova So roll over Zorro Your grave is far to shallow To narrow me down I need to split it like the atom Like a split second Like a split moon I'm splitting it apart To hear those angels Hear them angels I am a crash and burn Cassanova So roll over Zorro Your grave is far to shallow To narrow me down I can't recall a calmer water And I do nott know if flaws recover I only know that little boys, like paper boats, Were designed to sink
