No blues, no jazz No cities, no states No arbitrary borders No districts, no shires No lines to redraw No blues, no jazz No blues, no jazz No blues, no blues The value of your attention The volume of my affection The comedy of our possessions The callousness of our corrections No blues, no jazz No counties, no countries No pledge of allegiance No boroughs, no kingdoms No flags No blues The value of your autonomy The volume of my taxonomy The comedy of our bureaucracy The cruelty of our economy No blues, no jazz Nothing to consider Nothing to construct Nothing to review Nothing to revise No blues No point of purchase No burden of proof Nothing to stockpile Nothing to redeem No blues, no jazz

Empathy 03:03
Lost my lover Lost her rent Could never take a compliment If she had a hammer She’d break every mirror Waiting for you to feel empathy Don’t talk about it Don’t disagree I stopped waiting for you Waiting for your empathy Lost my brother Lost his friends I made a case for dissonance Their hearts stopped beating They lost every feeling Waiting for you to feel empathy Don’t talk about it Don’t disagree I stopped waiting for you Waiting for your empathy

Let’s talk about discipline Let’s quote Foucault Let’s analyze analysis Let’s liberate Lacan Let’s review the impossible Let’s trot out former spouses Let’s utter our birth names Let’s discuss Bataille Let’s synthesize all antitheses Let’s qualify communism Let’s battle over Žižek Let’s reveal our perversions Let’s examine the unexamined Let’s excavate our very core Let’s compare our tax exemptions Let’s not repeat what been repeated Have you read my book on siblings?

Cold, cold ocean Distance in between Suspended disbelief A shifting path in my reality Cold ocean Slap my dumb face Just a prisoner of love Who can’t escape his fate Let me out Cold, cold ocean Married it to me Broken 1,2,3 times One more child lost to the sea Cold ocean Make Poseidon dream Learned how to shake the earth Sailed the storm right into me Cold, cold ocean Save my scorched earth Quench my dull thirst Tell me what the land is worth Cold ocean Gonna make a scene Between you and me Burning in our chemistry Watch it burn Can you feel the sand slipping through your fingers Do you feel the tide pulling you in Cold, cold ocean Gonna break my neck A wave of deep regret I know we’ve already met Cold ocean Lying on your floor I’ve been wrong before I’m in love again These are my requirements This is what I need A cold, cold ocean An eternity Can you feel the sand slipping through your fingers Do you feel the tide pulling you in Can you feel the wind Can you feel the change pulling you in Can you feel the change slipping through your fingers Do you feel the tide pulling you in A cold, cold ocean is what we need A cold, cold ocean an eternity

Set Apart 04:42
Set apart Set aside Some return Some resign All in time

Oddsmaker 03:32
Shot by shot We watched it go to waste Piece by piece We put it back in place Oddsmaker You’re the only one Oddsmaker One million to one Drip by drip We feel it wash away My head trip I want to make you stay Oddsmaker You’re the only one Nothing is sure about it Oddsmaker Who’s your favorite son Oddsmaker You’re the only one One last wish Remove you from my will One sure thing I’m dying on this hill No sure thing about it No reason left for me to doubt it Oddsmaker Who’s your favorite son Oddsmaker I’m the only one

Trashing the ghost Leaving our bodies Offended the host Kicked out of the party I feel a spirit leaving me The light is oh so warming As common as dogs Pissing on trees It’s painted on walls In front of me I feel a spirit leaving me The light feels warm on my skin Cried for a child Made my mistakes I lived in denial Laid it to waste I feel a spirit leaving me The light feels warm on my skin I know my soul is leaving me The light is oh so warming Trashing the ghost

So much that was said Was just to fill in the gaps While we buried our dead We listened to the dogs bark We studied each other’s bruises We slept rough in the car park We have recanted We alienated the kids By insisting we weren’t for sale While taking competing bids We considered new frontiers We quoted from the old testament We drank cheap domestic beers We have recanted So much that we dread Is ambient misunderstanding That occupies our heads We speak of this We notice that Have you recanted? Free the singer All was retracted He has recanted He postulated ideas He aggregated the facts All was retracted He has recanted Free the singer
9.
Capitulation this mode of operation Surrender to a fear inside War is over We’re in over our head Moving closer We can feel it Nothing to see here When there’s no one to believe here A truth elusive to our mind We talk about energy What you put off What’s coming from me Our chemistry is hard to find I feel the moonlight pulling I hear your name in the wind A voice that’s leading me to my demise War is over We’re in over our head Moving closer We can feel it Lightness of being And the burden of the meaning A heavy love so many try to find Romanticize humility I know you can’t keep waiting for me Accepting beauty and time I feel the moonlight pulling I hear your name in the wind A voice that’s leading me to my demise War is over We’re in over our head Moon is closer Can’t deny it

All the surveys are complete If they are to be believed Adolescence is obsolete If it comes back Will it be the same? Everybody wants relief Just another hour of sleep If adolescence is obsolete And it comes back We won’t be the same On one thing we will agree Nobody can be discrete Like adolescence obsolete We can come back But not be the same All the surveys are complete If they are to be believed Adolescence is obsolete If it comes back We won’t be the same

Dealers 04:19
Fell in love with a dealer baby Found someone who knows just what I need Fill my empty cup, complete me We know I can’t get enough Now I’m begging you to believe me Somehow I still come around Keep trying to push me away You know I can stand my ground It’s gotta mean something To feel sorry How I wish this ghost would leave me I wish I could make it stop Carries through my blood so sweetly Gives me everything I want It’s gotta mean something To feel sorry Sing me like a song, so deeply I need your voice to lift me up Teach my like a gospel, preach me Find some redemption in your love It’s gotta mean something To feel sorry I say it every day I can make a change I can take it away I can let it go To find self control I want to let it roll I want to show you
12.
Dumbinance 03:12
You walk into rooms Like a child with a balloon Yeah you walk into rooms Like a child with a balloon I am dumbinance I know not consequence I feel no penitence I am a supplicant The watchful eyes Of all the sad angles Like the wide open lens Of widows and orphans I learned to live With my debts Like I learned to live Without regrets
