Track Name: Swimmer
I swim deeper through darkness and danger
from the surface and its beautiful light
I get around it when I can't get it through yes
these puddles turn into the great big oceans
but I don't mind

maybe you're diggin it somewhere, we don't know
but you carry your bad luck like a stone
and maybe it’s got you, it's brought you down there
your bad luck has brought you home

I can see your distance when you get near me
if your the glue than I'm the pieces alright
we'll go right through it when we can't get around it
these puddles turned into the great big ocean
but I don't mind
I don't mind

Someone hurt the swimmers feelings
made his buoyant heart start sinking
through the deepest darkest water
holding breath and dive down farther
made his mind up kept his promise
dropped the ballast, caught the harness
swimmer aimed toward the surface
kicked his legs with pride and purpose
when the sunlight hit his eyes
he was met by our cheers and cries
Track Name: Rainbow Diamond
I looked but there's no more
and when I saw your face was made of doors
man these things hit you like no other
and the pieces were all
gigantically small
give them to all

see the silver lining
ripped by rainbow diamond
everybody’s cryin
and each door of your face was made of windows
and through every one
I could see down each hall
the floors climb the walls

your sorrow and fortune
they're in bed together
say goodbye to summer

I don’t want to talk about it
not while the sunshine is shining
I can see the silver lining
it’s breaking through
like rainbow diamond

some some some some
day day day day
it won’t won’t won’t won’t
hurt so bad
but
to to to to-
day day day
I take myself way too seriously
seriously

damn them with faint praise
damn them with the sun
all our sorrow and all our fortune
damn them with faint praise
they’re in the next room they’re in bed together
damn them with faint praise
damn them with the sun
all our sorrow
they’re in the next room they’re in bed together

some some some some
day day day day
it won’t won’t won’t won’t
hurt so bad
but
to to to to-
day day day
I take myself way too seriously
seriously
Track Name: Poinsettia
I jump out, of my window,
to my roof and down into the snow
so I can see you
so tell me what you wanted, are you making love to time
beware of too much darkness, but avoid too much sun

so tell me what you wanted
are you making love to time
have they fooled you into thinking that you made up your own mind
I jump out of my window
to my roof and down into the snow
so I can see you

beware of too much darkness but avoid too much sun
the woods will be dark where we’re going there
and the valleys will rise up and fuck the mountains
and the discos all burned down because the DayGlo ran out.

the passengers don’t seem to care
when or if we ever get there
the cat caught on fire, jumped off his wire
there’s no stopping
where we are going palm trees sway
we’ll rip those bad dreams from our heads
Track Name: Love (w/ Merrrill Garbus of Tune-Yards)
Love love love
love love love

it is something we’re always
doing but we never figure it out

it’s not too late to
set fire to this whole mess
you’ve got the right kind of eyes love
they broadcast your sadness
so then where are we off to now love
and why are we going so fast

can you remember to remind me of what I’m supposed to forget so I can see

and I am the branch you see
and you are the fragile leaves
this life it is
the cold cold wind
that comes and takes you away from me
Track Name: We Will Build our Own
we will build our own but we will build it better
said goddamn man we really did it, I feel fine
but when you came to tell me that it was time
we all do things for the wrong reasons
I just happen to have way more excuses than anything

I’ll take the train to your apartment after work
tell me tell me Brenda, what’s your agenda
you get far out
so much faster

you’ll be the one
waiting for your bags
in an empty airport
you’re the last in line
but there’s no one there

we’ll build our own
we’ll have to
they don’t make the darkness anymore
like they did for you

Everyone
Track Name: Rivers and Their Teeth
way under the water
far far from the storm
way under each other
so far from home
lovers wrapped in veins the precious ones
killers loving in the summer sun
mornings made of rivers and their teeth
wait for me
Track Name: sleep deep
I took that picture of you, just sitting in my room
the rain outside made tires scream at the dying afternoon
but somehow way back then our wasted time
it seemed well spent
why do we need now, its never here
it just becomes what we miss

and then the sun goes down we’ll sleep
deep
under our coats

I took your soul
like you’d never really know
but now will become just then
just like it always has

there’s always the chance of the sun
exploding
into our heads
over our beds
killing us all
Track Name: Bathynomus Gigantes
you’re so far out there because
you just won’t come in
and everything is a dream to you
because you’re dreaming

we’ll run for it
back to your cage again
we’ll escape when
you turn the other in
