Sometimes I want rain To hide from bright lights of summers and wide smiles I’m not what I show Oh let’s talk this through You do not know me and I do not know you Oh let’s go to the park And live for a minute We’ll avoid the windows at night Our reflections, they frighten us And our heartbeats, they frighten us When our eyes meet it frightens us And our bodies, they frighten us when they touch, when they touch And you’re awfully quiet There’s a tree in my mind and it grows and it grows And you’re awfully quiet There’s leaves behind my eyes, does it show, does it show? Oh I’ve got a blind spot for myself, you say Who do you think you are? And you’re awfully quiet now Have I said too much, have I said too much? Oh let’s go to the park And live for a minute We’ll avoid the windows at night Our reflections, they frighten us And our heartbeats, they frighten us When our eyes meet it frightens us And our bodies, they frighten us when they touch, when they touch

Elasticity 03:34
Be the change, be the first, be impeccable Be yourself but don’t stand out too much Be polite and be kind but beware of Who you smile or talk to or touch Spend your dollars so wisely, it’s pricy To live in the present but don’t you be reckless Remember the future You’re young but time’s passing I am aware of the rules you set for us but Don’t you see that I can’t live by them all Hazy eyes imprison your vision Circumscribed I’m tired, I feel my Inner parts start to resist There’s a limit to my elasticity And I know that I talk too much And I know that I talk too loud And I ask way too many questions But how am I supposed to figure you out What to say, when to say it When to bend, when to break it When to love, when to hate it, who are we Can’t get my head around, I can’t get my head around it I am aware of the rules you set for us but Don’t you see that I can’t live by them all Hazy eyes imprison your vision Circumscribed I’m tired, I feel my Inner parts start to resist There’s a limit to my elasticity

I dip my toes in glue and dance I'm so excited where this ends Forget to get tired Lo-fi choirs You watch and wait You watch and wait From my head to my heart to my hips to my knees to my feet to the dirt of the earth and the miles of stone below I go Are you a dog? Are you a dog that barks at strangers? Danger Stranger danger I write in chalk You get the message Misunderstanding's rare if I Simplify the lesson It's not what you expected or can easily accept But watch and learn Watch and learn From my head to my heart to my hips to my knees to my feet to the dirt of the earth and the miles of stone below I go Are you a dog? Are you a dog that barks at strangers? Danger Stranger danger From my head to my heart to my hips to my knees (I'm strange, I'm dangerous) From my head to my heart to my hips to my knees to my feet to the dirt of the earth and the miles of stone below I go Are you a dog? Are you a dog that barks at strangers? Danger Stranger danger

Push Me 03:35
My skin is glass My lungs are glass My veins are glass My muscles My bones are glass My joints are glass My eyes are glass My mind goes Clocks stand still Walls stand still Hearts are still Minds go still The ground is far The floor is hard My every part Is waiting Push me, push me Move me, bruise me My skin is glass My lungs are glass My veins are glass My muscles My bones are glass My joints are glass My eyes are glass My mind goes I’m visible from every side Both in and out You shine a light Right through my soul I’m visible Yet wondering if you can see me Push me, push me Move me, bruise me We orbit ‘round a black hole in denial Oh there’s a rhythm in my chest We can slow dance to that If I let you
