Stay home because you don't want to say the wrong words because the lights are too much and the music's too much Stay home because these sorts of social situations are too demanding because failure is too easy Stay Home if that's what you need and the walls are familiar and stay in the same place because laughs and compliments among friends never did much for you so Stay at home because you'll regret it later and if you go out you'll regret that too you can't win so Stay home where you can't win because you also can't fail.

Pizza Twins 04:18
But gnar What pizza through yonder window breaks with crisp snow underfoot Chinese kites in the sky like pepperoni the other half of my soul is trapped beneath your crust All we have is not all we are Life's one big Pizza Party So let's party hard and shred gnar They say that pizza is the fastest way to a man's heart and an empty box is the saddest sight a man'll ever see All we have is not all we are Life's one big Pizza Party So let's party hard and shred gnar Pizza!

For a while I thought I'd fallen asleep suspending my disbelief to see your face just one more time As Icarus I flew a little too close to the sun maybe this time I won't spread my wax wings and fly And we will move on And we will move on And we will stay alone You should have stayed at home All that we love is everything we exist for Impact! Lands the rover on viridian plains Everything we know is everything we know Everything we know is everything You trapped me in this facade Or is it all real under the cover of night? Weekends taste better alone

Trying not to reason with something I cannot understand Eating worthless matter and crushing into dust in God's hand On event horizon and into the unknown I cannot stand Rip apart reality down to singularity, was this planned? The end of something beautiful signalled by abyss, my dear friend Refracting light of reason, abraxas has no meaning this is the end

Asterisk 05:15
I'm in and out of comas spiral staircase stretching my gears harpy lungs and radio static litter, best friends Icicles melting off your shoulder for a garden of broken lexicon all is a sound blueprint for the new the New Year Abasia, the symbiotic ties to loneliness and its lonelier cousin we were born into infrastructure when we move we take our ideas with us I climb no more staircases only spirals Was nothing real?

Nerves aquiver with upright intention and short-cut nails tapping metronomically on your bedside the softest afterglow the softest morning light the spirit drained leads us back to springtime with open arms and upward eyes but I am an inchworm, earthed in this soil between us And like butterflies, we are As summer ends we flutter through fields of our hopes and our admirations reminding me that I could never be enough and when I'm with you I'm happy but am I anyone at all or just an asterisk in your blocked out memory? at least I am an inchworm safe in this soil And like butterflies, we are

What a beautiful night to be led on and what a beautiful night to be led off I don't see you much around here anymore maybe there's a reason and when you're alone, all by yourself do you think aloud or sit in silence? Give me one good reason why I should keep on trying I've been living to look into your eyes for a moment to see myself reflecting back, smiling If there's anything I have learned it's if you run in circles your entire life you're going to get dizzy over time well I guess that's me and when you're alone, all by yourself do you think about anything at all? Well I'd say goodnight to you, but you're not even listening And if you can hear me, turn around and look me in the eye Give me one good reason why I should keep on trying I've been living to look into your eyes for a moment to see myself reflecting back, smiling You should have stayed home
