1.	Invariable Ethos 03:27	lyrics	buy track
Take a peak inside my imagination There's so much for us to see such as I forget what I was sayin' Oh good - Look at it come Walking in and out like the muse of the month And I wish I could wish it away I wish I could wash it away I wish I could cry it away But rain makes holes even in the stones - Eventually Ah rain makes holes even in the stones - Eventually Robbed again at bullet points for my Prize losing concentration They said that if I should scream they'd be back For my knees and reputation Oh good - Look at it come Walking in and out like the muse of the month Walking in and out like the muse of the month Walking in and out like the muse of the month Knives in my mind I'm never gonna write again So long as I live Until the day I write again And I wish I could wish it away I wish I could wash it away I wish I could cry it away But rain makes holes even in the stones - Eventually Ahh rain makes holes even in the stones - Eventually
2.	Cat Calls From a Skunk 02:11	lyrics	buy track
Cat calls from a skunk Cat calls from a skunk You're foolin' no one You're foolin' no one You're easy to debunk You're easy to debunk your motivation is ever so blunt You're foolin' no one Cat calls from a skunk Cat calls from a skubnk You're foolin' no one You can't fool no one Please don't attempt to fiddle with my dials Playing "Tune-in Tokyo" on my tits for a while I've been generous enough even being alive You can thank your lucky stars you can touch with your eyes I wouldn't let you touch me if you paid a handsome fee Nobody plays pin the tail on me Just mind your own business Don't go under my skin I can tell where you're going I can smell where you've been Very nearly over going out at all Very nearly over going out at all All I really wanted was a little rock n roll But I'm very nearly over going out at all Yes I'm very nearly over going out at all Why don't everybody just leave me alone? I kind of feel like I should have stayed at home Why don't everybody just leave me alone? 'cause I'm very nearly over going out at all Yes I'm very nearly over going out at all
3.	Hobby Whores 04:25	lyrics	buy track
Hobby Whores What can we do? It's like I got enough of distractions With my various attractions And some indie cred to put through the roof It's so hard to pick It's so hard to choose Hobby Whores It's always the same I got a tattoo gun for cheap A macrame affinity A bow and arrow but with nowhere to aim I'm not addicted to any one dru I'm like addicted to all of 'em Oh will I ever be blameless of being such and aimless Motherfucker who has too much to do? Too much to ever get through? Well momma my head isn't in it Yeah momma my head isn't in it Not no more Momma my head isn't in it Not no more Keep your eyeballs in your jacket with your innocence Don't get distracted by more problems 'till you get one fixed Hobby Whores Live of course in a constant state of repair I know my mind is in a box Or in a pile of sacred rocks But I don't dare to think of where I used to try now I can't bare So I'll just stand around and stare And I'll distract myself with simpler selfcare Hobby Whores Are we insane? I'm a directionless perfectionist A DIY exorcist A jack-off of all manner of trades Momma my head isn't in it Yeah momma my head isn't in it Not no more Momma my head isn't in it Not no more Keep your eyeballs in your jacket with your innocence Don't get distracted by more problems 'till you get one fixed Keep your eyeballs in your jacket With your innocence
4.	Zip Line Off the Stage 01:44	lyrics	buy track
Zip line right off the stage Land in a heep In a tiny roped off area You knock over my friend's drink They're pissed but you continue to perform anyway Give them your sweat rag A sorry and a thanks Am I thinking too loud? Am I part of this crowd? Can they smell my disdain Over their 12 dollar drinks? If only you could look at you without the beer-shades Lovely at arms length but not in my face Only I can draw the line and find my own space How did I stay alive before I could change?
5.	Silo (Everyone Knows) 02:13	lyrics	buy track
It's the kind of song you sing For a good girl who has everything All the others think she's mean Because she sticks to herself And she doesn't play their games But I think I understand Silo - Everyone knows You're soft and gooey on the inside Silo - Everyone knows She's got a reputation All over the house as a bad news kitten There's a rumor going 'round I don't know how it ever got out there 'cause she's ever so sweet And when I'm feeling beat She comes to check on how I'm doing Silo - Everyone knows You're soft and gooey on the inside Silo - Everyone knows You're soft and gooey on the inside Silo - Everyone knows You're soft and gooey on the inside
6.	Pin the Tail On Me 02:11	lyrics	buy track
Here comes the same old same old Keep your projector to yourself I didn't not destroy myself This far not to feel myself I'm coming into my own now I think you hate to see I wish I had a detector for All the things you ever speak I've gone a little within me I'll never be the same I tried to stay within my lane But you paved that sidewalk in my way You pinned the tail on me now What did you think I'd do? Was I supposed to take that bait? Or continue to play it cool? I'm running out of my cool now I'm 'bout to lose my cool I'm running out of my cool now I'm 'bout to lose my cool I'm running out of my cool now I'm running out of you
7.	Drug Race UK 01:53	lyrics	buy track
I'm a lip sync assassin I've got passions I've been practicin' And when I break a leg the curtain thanks me for the lesson You don't have to explain to the ones you love you love me I think they know by now 'cause they themselves showed up to touch me I'll probably death drop I'll probably fondle my fancy I'll probably drop frock I'll probably do something nasty Not too nasty for the BBC if you please - Thank yew! I'd never dream of doing anything Too nasty on TV - Not on TV Well I'm no seamstress So I gotta keep my outfits moving And create a blurred illusion Just to keep the crowed from snoozing I'll pull some moves I couldn't do if I were really singing Do a backflip Land in the splits So no one dares to boo me My feet are killing me So you know I'm really crying You think I felt this song And well that's not exactly lying
8.	I Took the Time 00:58	lyrics	buy track
I Took the time out of my life To write down all these lines I took the time out of my life To work on paying the price For taking the time out of my life To get to know you And I took the time out of my life To pull you through And I took the time out of my life And now we're through And I know I'm never gonna get these moments back That I spent on taking my time for a drag And what did you ever do for me back> Nothin'
9.	Nobody Wants to Hear Me Read My Diary 01:59	lyrics	buy track
Nobody wants to hear me read my diary But they're gonna Nobody cares enough about anything 'Till it's gone So while I'm here I'm gonna cheer My little queer self on adn on 'Cause I've had it up to here So i gotta be clear what exactly that I'm tryinga get on Nobody wants to hear you say you're important But it's important Nobody cares enough about thsemselves And it shows Nobody know the lengths you got to be perfect But you're imperfect But you got more good going for you Than most people in your pinky toe So while I'm here I'm gonna cheer You on and try to let you know Know you're magic, baby You're magic, baby, to me la da da da da da da da da da da da ooh la da da da da
10.	Wreck It All 02:49	lyrics	buy track
It's okay to burn your bridges It's okay to reinvent yourself It's okay to wear a new body And put the old one on a shelf Yeah we're gonna wreck it all big time Using nothing but our nails Yeah we're gonna get it in our own time You know the hits are in the mail Yeah we're gonna wreck it all big time Serving candy like it were kale Yeah we didn't wreck ourselves big time Just to never feel ourselves Yeah we didn't wreck ourselves big time just to feel like someone else It's okay to wave the invitation It's okay to keep to ourselves We can do without their love and affection We don't even need to leave our shell Yeah we're gonna wreck it all big time Using nothing but our cleverness Yeah we're gonna get it in our own time We only ever give our best Yeah we're gonna wreck it all big time Yeah we can build a better nest Yeah we didn't wreck ourselves big time Just to be treated like we ain't been wrecked enough to tell Yeah we didnt' wreck ourselves big time Just to be treated like the hits ain't in the mail
11.	Stop Tapping the Pencil 02:41	lyrics	buy track
Stop tapping the pencil You're not stuck in your head You're stuck when you worry where another's been And you can't push a rope and you never did But you can push yourself and you can push a pen Stop tapping the pencil Or soon you'll see You don't sleep too good in them un-made dreams Blow a kiss to the To Do List into the air you launch a spit Which returns to y our face like a right hook fist Will I piss in the wind- Do the twiddle thumb twist? Will I piss in the wind- Do the twiddle thumb twist? Will I piss in the wind- Do the twiddle thumb twist? Empty your well and water your wishes Nothing good grows on the dirty dishes Empty your well and water your wishes Nothing good grows on the dirty dishes Stop tapping the pencil and get out of your head Stop tapping the pencil and get out of your bed Stop tapping the pencil and return from the dead Stop tapping the pencil - You'll be glad that you did Empty your well and water your wishes Nothing good grows on the dirty dishes Empty your well and water your wishes Nothing good grows on the dirty dishes
12.	Back In the Water 02:43	lyrics	buy track
Pounding coffee through the day My drip is on but my mind? No way There's only one place I know I'll be safe I'm bending iron trying to stay awake Ahhh I live in the bath - I live in the bath And when the noises get too loud I go where no one is aloud Water sign mental health DIY I go where it's fine to be a cloud Ahh I live in the bath - I live in the bath Ahh - Taking my time- Yeah I'm taking it back Ahh - You know where I'm at - I live in the bath Ahh - I live in the bath - I live in the bath I needed time to let my mind move over 'Cause when I'm dry it feels like I'm losing my motor I couldn't help needing back in the water There's nothing there so I'm never bothered I love the feeling of barely existing To be alone and feel like I'm better than busy I couldn't help needing back in the water Nobody there so I'm no imposter
13.	Beedle Deedle Deet 03:22	lyrics	buy track
Engaging caption Underneath my face I stepped away from my mission The line moved on and I lost my place I'm a loyal minion I can put myself away But my mind is a mess I'm doing my best But is my best here to stay? You know I miss it sometimes Felt-tipped sun filling up my eyes But it hit me hard when I realized Nothing lasts longer than a waste of time I've been sitting on my own two hands now Waiting on my turn I'm boondoggle busy but I balter like I Got nothing to learn Beedle deedle deet - beedle deedle deed- Beedle deedle deet I'm gonna be fine Everything is just fine Really I'm fine Nothing even crossed my mind Fine I'm trying not to try Gonna be fine One thing at a time this time Fine Even if I'm lying Gonna be fine Nothing needs to toss my mind
