Mess 03:41
"Right as rain!" That's what I'll say with resolve. Because I can't admit that the wings are coming off. Sweep everything away while careening down into the waves All while praying I get caught. I'm a mess. Yeah, I guess. But the sun is shining yet. I watch this, helpless to stop it. But either way, it's such a waste of all the breath I've left, on the conditional. Getting even, reasons why, weather patterns dictating the tides. All while you hang on for your life. I'm a mess. Yeah, I guess. But the sun is shining yet. Whoa is me, with everything I need. Everything I've dreamed of laid out at my feet. Are we so different now? When all out lives are bound and doomed to be rooms without a view? And lists of things we'll never do?

Jamie 05:12
He left across the sea. Kissed his lovely bride as she Wept in his chest, he whispers a promise There they stood holding their breath Afraid to drink what's left He dries her deep green eyes Turned and walked right out of sight Under her breathe she said, "I can wait you out, I can wait you out." "The day will come when you're home again, "But I will wait you out." The days blurred into one another Would they ever bloom for her? And every moment she says "Is this just the way it is? What it's meant to be?" I'm tugging on your sleeve, I swear I can wait you out. I can wait you out. The summers over but your no closer But I can wait you out. Oh, I broke into pieces that day in June When she said "What will I do if you never come home to me?" But then a letter arrived from across the sea signed "Jamie"

Amtrak 03:56
Crisis! Crisis! We're losing our hold... Can't let something that is different, something that could infect, Jeopardize the intent with which we pave the road. ..On this meaningless perception of control. Take a bow, carve yourself another notch, another coat of white-wash to pacify the thought that there's a chance I could be wrong. But what's it really matter to me? Because every other day on this garbage heap I'm left fractured and overcome with disasters that loom. A thousand ways that everything is doomed. You make things so hard! Just squeezing right from wrong. When all the while, you're missing your own song! But what's it really matter to me? Because every other day on this garbage heap I'm left fractured and overcome with disasters that loom above Just like imaginary cumulonimbus adversaries. The real trick is keeping with the rhetoric and sticking with the script. Paying service with the lips that doesn't have a thing to do with These hand-me-down beliefs that I built upon the sand.

Moldova 05:06
Hey, what I'm witnessing makes this quivering, spineless, and sniveling child in the mirror ashamed to look himself in the eye. I've walked among it. How we stomach the taste of just standing by as babies are dumped on the funeral pyre. I've been so consumed with what not to do. I've seen the wreckage of things so precious. Smoldering vestiges of: Waking to mother's kisses and birthdays, candles, wishes and falling in love. Now lay strewn across the tracks never to be heard from again. We've been so consumed with burying truth. For a moment we were golden, with the world in view. The sky has come undone and buried the sun. But that can't be all that is left, if these lungs still just have a breath.
