Track Name: Green Park
I’ve been in this place before
Felt the train a thousand times
Spewing yellow liquids
Runs as leave down my cold spine

We meet again this august
I can’t forget your face
Burned through my belongings
You’re engrained in every way

I’ll hide you in the bottom
Stack pot and pans till we can’t see
forget for a few minutes
then remember you and leave

Walk through a sunned park
And listen to the music playing outside
Greens and browns and children play
But my mind off in the water
Bathing in the salt
I feel the yellows drying me
My brothers and sisters call me for help
I can’t quite hear them full
Or maybe I forgot and they’re not really here
Last time I saw them they we’re in your room
Screams from belts
Will you tell me what they’re saying
You’re the only one that knows

Last time I saw them they we’re in your room
I can’t quite hear them full
Or maybe I forgot and they’re not really here
Bathing in the salt
I feel the yellows drying me
Track Name: Room At Night
Open my door
Crawl through the cracks again
I’m as lone as you
We’re as cold as you
This is your welcome party
We have some gifts wrapped up
None of your friends could attend today
So we’re the only ones

can’t escape trapping myself
I have a name like you
And I can’t help but compare
These pent feelings of rage
To everyday there were screams
In your room at night
Screams from her room at night
Track Name: Thoughts and Five Colors
I’ve been sleeping in
Past noon each day
It’s not a conscience act
Just the way my mind behaves

I’m rid of beauty thoughts
So I’ll just look them up
And print the pictures out
To plaster them along my wall

I see your face in there
Can I paint over it?
The colors black and red
and orange and blue and violet
I cast my arms down low
And swing as a high as I can
I know it won’t cover you for long
‘Cause I’ll know you’re still there
Underneath, i've got to try to tear apart the solids
Peace gone, burned it away
ash fills my air and we breathe together
Track Name: Weird Callers
Mr. Military man would you ever understand
The way the kids feel
When the kids peel in the yard

Mr. Military man would never understand
The way the kids feel
When the kids peel in the yard
Falling in the dark
Playing in the park

I wonder if you sit days alone
Asking your eyes if what they’ve seen are real
Have they seen what things are real?
They’re tired from torn up carcasses
And ladies you’ve left with unborn kids
With the disease and hate for every inch of what you are

Mr. Military man would never understand
The way the kids feel
When the kids peel in the yard

Mr. Military man would never understand
The way the kids feel
When the kids peel in the yard
Falling in the dark
Playing in the park

I wonder if you sit days alone
Asking your eyes if what they’ve seen are real
Have they seen what things are real?
They’re tired from torn up carcasses
And ladies you’ve left with unborn kids
With the disease and hate for every inch of what you are

Have you been sleeping well nights inside
Could have been better without your friends
Here with me in my house
We’re talking about what you were like
Before you went away and we all agree you’re better off
Staying away at least until you’re a hollow burned out
Shell of yourself, brain-dead from the bread inside
Then you can come out and see us
Then you can save whatever piece of love is left for you
But I honestly doubt there’s going to be anything more than
There is now. In time we’ll try to forget about it and maybe we will
And the only thing you have time for is us
The only thing you’re ever going to think about is us
And how they wouldn’t let you go to your father’s funeral
Or see your mother after he died. How could anyone believe
that you’re right? How could anyone believe what you say anymore?
Mr. Soldier. Mr. Military man. Mr. Soldier. Mr. Military man.
Track Name: Callers (Reprise)
Clear of mind for a decent amount of time
I’ve been seeking out a while I cant just forget everything for a minute
Will you help me understand?
Why I can’t even bear to stand
I had a damn good run, 12 months.
Then you came back and I couldn’t help myself

It’ll be easier to fall this time than it has been before
I have a better excuse to justify my reasons
Just put it all on everything else
And run it all again
And run it all again
And run it all again
And run it all again

I wish I could do away with you
I have these overwhelming thoughts of you breaking in and murdering me at night
I hardly sleep anymore
I’m aware, but unable to accept or do anything to take accountability
I sound like a fucking book
Leather bound and lying on a doctors bookshelf
It’s the most obvious thing I’d say
Just put it all on everything else
And run it all again
And run it all again
And run it all again
And run it all again

I’ll play some more guitar
Strum the only four chords I know
And get distracted when I think about
The ride in to work

This morning and how my mother called a lawyer in Georgia
Explaining that the 40 year sentence you had
Was about as long as it was going to get
And that this retrial could push things down to a 10 year minimum
I watched my mother choke on air and try to tell him she understands
And that she wants to be there for everything
She blames herself, as I blame myself
“mother’s guilt” she’ll always have
I can see she hates a part of herself for it
But I sit in the passenger seat and listen
I don’t know how to show that emotion anymore

And run it all again
And run it all again
And run it all again
And run it all again

Clear of mind for a decent amount of time
I’ve been seeking out a while I cant just forget everything for a minute
Will you help me understand?
Why I can’t even bear to stand
I had a damn good run, 12 months.
Then you came back and I couldn’t help myself
