At Night 03:13
At night I'm alone Alone to atone For all of these sins I'll commit Do you think of me at night? Do you think of me at all? Why don't you call? Why don't you care? Why don't you need me anymore? And I don't know how And I don't know when And I don't know why I can't see the floor. Do you think of me at night? Do you wander 'round your room? Do you fumble through your clothes For a hint of my perfume? Why don't you call? Why don't you care? Why don't you need me anymore? And I don't know how And I don't know when And I don't know why I can't see the floor. Cut 'em down these curtains I need to see outside You wanted what I gave to you But it's not enough no more

The Old Mole 02:35
Eagles flyin' high in the sky Like thoughts above you. Darlin' don't ask why I'm embarrassed to be so blue. She likes it when I'm talkin' And I tell her just how to move. Darlin' don't deny what I told Then tell me it's true. She looks lovely and so dignified Filing all her taxes and listing all her assets On a paper employers provided to me But I forgot to file She likes it when I'm talking' and tell her just how to move But those raptors keep on squawking 'bout a deal that gets real up above Eagles in the sky wait in circles for something to die...

One End 04:16
Can't you see me? I'm standing right in front of you. And don't you hear me Cryin' cause I'm so damn blue! Yes. Of course you're my friend. I'm just afraid we're facing one end. You'll always want from me What I can never give to you. But please don't set me free Cause I just won't know what to do. Yes. Of course you're my friend. I'm just afraid we're facing one end. There's a reason I didn't call you. We've got nothing to say. So put your back on that wall. I'm the darker still in darker days!

Everything's indifferent Except for you Nothing seems resplendent At the zoo Beyond my hands and fingers There's a view Of animals awaiting What their handlers never knew The sky's the limit So I guess I'm stuck with you And your friends are idiots If they think it's not the roof And the one day that I stopped beating in my brains Felt like heaven The sky's the limit

We like to watch the wilted leaves Fall from the tallest branches One day I'll take my life Cause I'm afraid of what attaches And it goes like a flame into the night Oh night I know science will save me And I won't be denied From all the choices they gave me I won't have to decide My wife will want to choose a child With blue eyes wider than the horizon One day he'll walk and in my heart I'm scared I'll secretly despise him And it goes like a flame into the night Oh night I know science will save me And I won't be denied From all the choices they gave me I won't have to decide And it will take the rest And it will make the best Of my time We like to watch the wilted leaves Fall from the tallest branches Come on science Come on and save me

about

A duet with technology. If at any time, these forces clash, truth tends to ooze from the fissure. Don't expect anything. Just listen.
