1.
Exit Space 04:32
Come to us from beyond the Sun, A heart too strong for the chest of one, Rise above the fallen snow, A hand too heavy for hands to hold.
2.
The Well 05:09
Knocking them down is half the thrill, Ripping them up makes all the patience leave me, When there's no one left to tell, Find a piece of me and throw it in the well. Now you ain't so tough… But it never kills me, just winds up wounding me, It's never ending inside the well, How we all fall down under its spell. I must have missed the cue, When does the spark begin to resume? Lining them up is half the thrill, Throwing them down makes all the smoke turn to plumes.
3.
I am your only daughter and I am the last, You are the cruellest father that I could have, Why don't you beat me louder to pay me back? It only makes a mark if you make it black. This blow.. Will be the one. Why does it make you stronger when I talk back? Only one more payload 'til I'm axed, You are not a guardian, you are Dad, Sorry I'm your cargo, bottom of the stack. One more throw of the fist, Tell ya how it always is, One more throw of the fist, Always is. Well I made my mind up, You made me fail, Took another page from the fairytale.
4.
Yours Truly 03:33
I'll let you into the alcove, To me it's my little cave, Where you'll see All the people I'll never be. We don't stop resting, Sleeping through the day, Until past thoughts Become new ones, I'm shaking all the way. Are you talking to me? Or am I talking to you? Are you talking to me When I'm tired of you? Fasten up security, Don't tell me where you've been, I'm bleeding, Wish you'd deceive me So I could feel again. The forest hides behind the trees, Sympathy was made for me, Stop crying, Still we're flying Above it all again.
5.
Bring you up to speed, A phallic seed, Epiphanies to suit your needs. I was alone 'Til I brought you home, But what I give baby, I don't receive. Wait in the black By the camel's back, Your defence is your best attack. Never mind, I'm still alive, And if you go honey it's alright. It's alright if you leave me, It's alright if you go. I won't give any compromise, It's the same for you, If it's true, then I blame you. So what'd ya know? The telephone Doesn't ring, it screams in the night. I called you stupid names On your answer machine, Well oh well, honey, it's alright.
6.
For all the cares you never gave, I don't mind, For all the bad thoughts you conceived that I left behind, And even if you disagree, I'll still be 'round To pick you up, then put you down. For all the ugly little truths I made you tell, For all the meanings half-erased, I'll give you Hell, And even if you disagree, I'll still be 'round To pick you up and hide the key to be found. This is the part I love, When the push comes to shove. Finally It's what you need, If all doesn't matter, Nor do we. Bet we're best friends 'til the end, I suppose That I won't know you even then, but I'll pretend, And even if we're symmetry, our looks will bend Back and forth and off the walls 'til the end.
