contusion confusion (free) 03:17
well i walk around i wear out the soles of my shoes i walk around til my toes are black and blue thinking of you i dream my dreams so often i think they are true but when i wake up i never know what to do do you? i fool myself by believing we'd be something i kid myself by thinking i'm anything i stare at my feet much more than a girl should oh i'd lift my head up, i'd lift it if i could but it's too heavy and it's all too much i fool myself by believing we'd be something i kid myself by thinking i'm anything oh i walk around i wear out the soles of my shoes

oh my darlin' oh my darlin' i am callin' i am callin' oh my darlin' i am calling you oh my darlin' oh my darlin' you've been gone for quite some time and oh my darlin' will you tell me true are you gonna come home? i've been folding your clothes just the way you used to i'm on the highest plane hollering your name but all i hear is the wind come back home oh my darlin' i am calling you. oh my darlin' i've been calling you.

where the current goes (free) 03:52
lady wakes me with her sandy tongue but i don't know how to lift myself up without dragging around these old roots with me stemming from below my own two feet oh, my old feet. the old woman next door always outdoors her empty watering can, her yellow yard she told me growing old was like a steady stream no one knows where the current goes oh, it just goes. and lady sleeps and sleeps the days away unaware of the calendar year or the white fur tickling her perky ears and these vines intertwine my legs with the floor beneath til the ceiling's all my eyes can see and grass starts to grow from my weary chest as if it knew there was soil in my breast and i hear mandolins and xylophones begging to make louder sounds lady and the old woman are standing on my head watering weed stems on my neck and if i cry it will only help them grow so i don't.

don't know a thing (free) 03:10
i'm running in circles around what i thought i knew about me and you but i'm falling down again and i don't know a thing no i don't know a thing do you notice if i'm not around? will you hear it when i hit the ground? my knees are scraped and bruised and no matter what i do, my blood keeps rushing through my veins and i'm lying on the ground and i'm staring at the stars wondering which one died first will i burn out before i am seen? will my life ever be paralleled with my dreams?
8.
sometimes (free) 03:19
sometimes i cannot find the right words to say but you can sometimes i cannot lift myself out of bed but you can you always could sometimes i cannot see what about me makes you stay sometimes i cannot put one foot in front of the other but you can you always could sometimes i cannot find my way back home and i don't know i'm not sure if i want to
9.
whippoorwill (free) 02:18
me oh me me oh my whippoorwill whippoorwhy and i don't know where i am going in one or two years i'll have nothing to show i'll have nothing to show for you little bird when you fly so high do you get scared to look down? because i don't know where i am going in one or two years i'll have nothing to show i'll have nothing at all
