Monsoon 02:38
Not many fools would do what I do//that doesn't mean I'll try something new//I work too hard and I work too long//I'm sorry I can't just mention you in this song//I'll get you in the next one soon//I'll catch you in the next monsoon//not many fools would do this you see//that doesn't mean that it's up to me//I work too hard I don't work for free//I'm sorry I can't just let you let it be//I'll get you in the next one soon//I'll catch you in the next monsoon//you left it on the drawing board//you helped me melt the nearest chord//and ever since you changed your name//things don't feel just quite the same//Not many fools would do what I do//that doesn't mean I'll try something new//I work through May and I work through June//I'm sorry I can't just mention you in this tune.

I smoke pus I remember evil I piss out dignity I plug in and wait for the future I shrug and second-guess myself I slack hard I slack often I am a rolling nightmare I touch heroes at the bases of their skulls mulling over the dissident I plug in and wait for whatever I scream and second-guess myself I try hard and shoot for tomorrow but I am a rolling nightmare nightmare oh baby I believe in you.

Division of cells//division of mind//division of thought//division of humankind//division of personalities//division of self//division of principalities//division of wealth//division of color//of yellow and blue//division from mother//and division of you.

Easter Blade 02:57
I wanna have my Easter Blade running//I wanna get my Easter Blade humming//I thought you played the piccolo honey//I guess it made you sick although maybe//I wanna have my Easter Blade going//I wanna get my Easter Blade showing//I saw you play the clarinet baby//I know it hasn't happened yet maybe it was me//me who you doubted//don't wanna have my Easter Blade hiding//I wanna see my Easter Blade fighting//I heard you play the harpsichord honey//I know you heard it once before maybe it was me//me who you doubted for the first time//ooh for the last time.
5.
You got me down on bended knee//to tell you how I feel//if I could ever disappear//I'd know your shit is real//you'll never know how I'm feeling right now because you're not me//it's hard to tell//I'd hate to yell//your name across the trees//if I could ever disappear//I guess you'd just agree//I'll never know how you're feeling right now because I'm not you.
