Hyacinth 04:37
And I forgot which leg is mine It's tangled in the vine That we are twisted in It's crawling up the walls And sprouting hyacinths Higher sins And I forgot the creation of time It's an unsteady line That's missing from this room We know it's passing through By the number of our signs By our size So bake between the sheets with me And stay until you finally see We cannot get out We can only sink back in And in the morning it rises to the east But we have no yeast To raise our sleepy heads And we can only feast on pillows Not warm breads Not warm breads So bake between the sheets with me And stay until you finally see We cannot get out We can only sink back in And I had forgotten which leg is mine It's tangled in the vine That we are twisted in It's crawling up the walls And sprouting hyacinths Higher sins Hyacinths Higher sins Hyacinths

Gnats 03:30
I am swatting you away You're in my ears, you're in my eyes You form my tears with all your lies And I'm getting far away I am walking through a cloud of you And I'm wiping you off my arms I'm picking you from my skin And all your deceiving charms Your charms And you will always be the buzzing inside my brain The digging in my skin, that never-ending pain And you will always be spinning around my head And crawling through my thoughts, and and wandering into my bed Into my bed I am slapping you down But you always fill the air You are pushing me around And giving me that stare You may populate my world But my heart is bigger than yours You may spin and twirl around But that annoying sound will never drown me And you will always be the buzzing inside my brain The digging in my skin, that never-ending pain And you will always be spinning around my head And crawling through my thoughts, and and wandering into my bed Into my bed You are only but a gnat And I'll swat you away like that.

Ethylene 03:35
Put me in the ice box babe Please put me in the fridge No cupboards, closets, or pantries for me For I will I will rot and I will spoil Keep me in the shade baby Please keep me under that tree No UV rays or sunlight for me For I will I will rot and I will spoil And when I do you can't use me anymore I'll sit on the counter like before But you can't use me anymore And I will fall on the floor Use me as your centerpiece Please use me in the bowl No knives nor serving sizes for me For I will I will rot and I will spoil And when I do you can't use me anymore I'll sit on the counter like before But you can't use me anymore And I will fall on the floor
