Little bird what are you saying to me? / sitting there at the top of your tree / little bird what are you talking about? / Singing so loud and free You've got two critical eyes / rolling in your head / I tell you now that shit won't fly / my feathered friend / so you'd better hold your tongue / you better watch yourself / you know I've heard pigeon English / but this is something else 斑鳩 斑鳩 斑鳩 何ですか You trash talk pretty damn well / for something oh so sweet / so bring it on come give me hell / with your tweety tweet tweet tweet / little bird what do you want / won't you spit it out / tell me straight oh critical one / don't make me shout 斑鳩 斑鳩 斑鳩 何ですか You've got two critical eyes / rolling in your head / I tell you now that shit won't fly / my feathered friend / this language barrier we’ve got / is such an awful drag / but I won't be lost in translation / when I lose my rag 斑鳩 斑鳩 斑鳩 何ですか

Want to assess me? / Well honey feel free / because it’s all in front of your eyes / you think I’m lonely / you think I’m stony / take your pick I’m never surprised / I know you’re soon to learn / as all my pages turn / I never got the poker face right / you know the story / you’ve got the whole me / not got up in any disguise Back in the old days / when I was still fazed / I did my best to cover it up / to all the cool kids / no matter what I did / I was never apathetic enough / right underneath that spell / tripped on my words and fell / with all the hot tips filling me up / you oughta look right / you oughta zip tight / and what you really gotta do is grow up Do ya, do ya ... Do ya know my heart is a book? Do ya, do ya ... Do ya wanna give it a look? A contradiction a work of fiction / so picaresque you never can tell / you know that life is full of surprises / B C D E F G H I J K L / I’ll never write the law or be an astronaut / or own a yacht or a Rolex oh well / I tell you one thing / it’s really something / I’m happy just being myself The whole truth clear as can be / you know that my heart is a book / it’s all there / easy to read Do ya, do ya... Do ya wanna give it a look? Do ya, do ya... Do ya know my heart is a book? Do ya wanna

I know I need her / but the truth is I don’t believe her / when she says that its real / I’m waiting for the big reveal / I step outside the air is still / there are autumn daffodils / it should seem strange to me / but I can’t see it just can’t see / 1000 birds are roosting on our rooftop / but I go on like nothing’s wrong / ‘cause I can’t stop to see the change / I’m a robot and I’m feeling strange I try to hide it / but the truth is that I’ve been blinded / by the day to day / everything’s so far away / I’ve tried going backwards / but in truth I’m scared of the fractures / so I’ve set a frontier / that I won’t cross I won’t go near / 1000 birds are roosting on our rooftop / but I go on like nothing’s wrong / ‘cause I can’t stop to see the change / I’m a robot and I’m feeling strange I keep myself in the shade / try to build a barricade / but every wall I set is a false one / so I neglect the leading route / and reject the attributes / that make me feel like I’m unreal / not a robot / not a robot / not a robot

Still 04:17
I ask you a question / but I get no response / it's what I expected / but not what my heart wants Why so still? / why are you so immovably still? / stood alone on yonder hill / the daylight shines down / all the worlds coming out / the joy and the magic that life is about / you take it all in / and you don't see a thing I start approaching / I hold out my hand / I'm losing conviction / for all I had planned Why so still? / why are you so immovably still? / stood alone on yonder hill / I made up my mind / or at least thought I had / tell me here's my decision is it good is it bad? / you take it all in / and you don't say a thing And just beyond my reach / something intangible / if you could only be understandable / over 1000 years / you've seen the world go by / the laughter and the tears / do you feel alive / or do you stand in total darkness? Why so still? / why are you so immovably still? / stood alone on yonder hill / I scream and I shout / I'm so angry about / all the things I attempted and how they turned out / you take it all in / and you don't hear a thing
5.
Saw them standing on the rooftops laughing down upon the world / you know I could testify I saw the flames as Hades fist unfurled / crushing everything you love they hide in safety from your ire / think of those happy days and watch dismayed as they're all set on fire / Borderline psychopath in a number of ways / in a number of ways he's got his head screwed up / little smile curling out like the twist of a knife / as he's twisting your life around his finger / borderline psychopaths are all ruling the world / they’ll keep getting their way till the end of our days / but what can we do we're all borderline mute / We’re all borderline mute / oh we’re borderline mute / we’re all borderline mute / Brew a storm inside a teacup with those licenses to kill / you know we could stand for hours and toil and cower as all the bad blood spills / there’s a jackal at your window and he whispers in your ear / calling you glorious victorious till fury hides the fear /
6.
I feel my light go down / as all the words come tumbling at me / you know you're just in time to catch me in a bad mood / and all the claims roll in / in a hazy kinda turmoil / you know that nothing makes my blood boil like the truth / Two bit half wit bull shit / works like a charm/ I don't know in the thick of it / how to stay calm / been burned but of course I don't mind / because it really doesn't matter when you're fighting all of the time / And all my things fly by / causing airborne pandemonium/ you know the perfect way to throw them in a bad mood / the sorry tale come out / in a minced and brief synopsis / oh tell me please lord how to stop this wave of truth / Two bit half wit bull shit / works like a charm/ I don't know in the thick of it / how to stay calm / been burned but of course I don't mind / because it really doesn't matter when the faults all mine And I am a soaring cloud / casting a shadow on you / as I spill myself / not knowing what else to do / you stay rooted there / fragile and soaked to the bone / and it's so unfair / I feel my light burn out / two bit half wit dumb shit /
7.
So you wanted to see me / let it out you may as well / so you wanted to see me / it’s bad news I can tell / So I won’t say a word say a word say a word / no I won’t say a word say a word say a word / no I won’t say a word say a word say a word / just listen to yourself / So you want me to hear you / hear you out and hear you well / so you want me to hear you / well I can’t hear nothing else What could I say now anyway / if you’ve made your mind up I’m just buying time / look at me what do you see / if I hold my tongue in silence indefinitely
8.
You've got something and you don't know that you've got it / the world is in your pocket but you're bored oh you're bored / you've got something and you only wanna knock it / until you haven't got it any more any more / And I'm told we should give them everything they wanted / 'cause nothing really matters any more / told we should give them everything they wanted / it can’t go back to how it was before / You've got something and you say that it's worth nothing / you're bringing your own suffering for what oh for what? / you've got a lot of things if you could only stop and think / don't say there's nothing left for you to keep on living for / But give it a chance to ignite / you know that you can't fall in line / put up the ghost of a fight / I'm told we should forgive them / You’ve got something won’t you just hold on /
9.
I found it buried underneath the stone / gone from living memory / where all the streets are overgrown and every house is empty / and though I’m walking on the same old ground you stood upon / when you were around / there’s nothing left of you except this book I found / And it was written in the shaking hand of someone in a hurry / in places hard to understand / the letters scratch and scurry / and though you can’t contain a soul within the pages of something so thin / I felt as though I knew you well when I read this: Stay with me / darling won’t you stay with me / I’m falling like the heron as he dives / the waters wild / swirling in the rising tide / I can barely pull away in time / I stood a while and watched the foxes stalk discreetly through the rubble / I felt as though I'd stepped through time / a witness to your struggle / and though it’s only written on the page / a silent plea / asleep for an age / I hear your voice / it sings to me and gently says: Stay with me / darling won’t you stay with me / I’m falling like the salmon as he tires / a waterfall / pushing with uncaring force / hits me as I pray for strength to rise /
10.
Come and gather round me chatter / tell of the world all its glories and trials / all directions / bold intentions / come to my island and stay for a while / Sing of a world away / imaginary idols and games that they play / if it's the last song that I ever hear / let it be vibrant and clear / Seems so exciting / new and inviting / but alas beyond my grasp / standing in reach of the garden of Eden / with both my hands behind my back / Life beneath me waves to greet me / I look out my window and watch it go by / bright and pretty / mores the pity / I stand like a phoenix pretending to die / Sing of a world away / climb ever higher now don't be afraid / if it's the last song that I’ll ever sing / gather round let us begin / Seems so exciting new and inviting / so at last I won't hold back / reach out and touch it / I can't but I must with / both my hands behind my back /

Lilac 03:02
This is the end take a bow / are you happy I hope you’re happy now / this is the end of it all / is it just me or have we been here before / Lilac so innocent of the effect you can have / and if you were hoping that I could be tricked into / putting all my time and effort into a lost cause / then let your wish be granted / you know if you demand it / I’ll be all yours for whatever you need / and once in a while I need a lift / and all you do is smile /
12.
Get on with it you’re wasting my time / don’t wanna put myself on the line / shovel the coal in the engines are starved / gotta keep rolling can’t stay where we are / As we grind along the same old routine / trying to build up a good head of steam / there’s no way out no matter how fast you run / is it safe to keep the passengers on / I’m a runaway train / and I’m tied to the tracks / and perpetual motion is grinding me down into scrap / Let’s stop a minute and catch our breath / is my tunnel vision causing you stress? / there’s a light at the end now that’s keeping me sane / whether it’s blue sky or an oncoming train / WHOO WHOO!
