Smartbay II 03:34
I’m selling everything I own. Name your price. I got love and feelings and everything nice. It’s all gotta go. I don’t have room for it anymore. I got skin and organs. Savings in every aisle of the store. I’m doing it my way. I’m doing it smart. I’m selling everything I own. Place your bids. I’m selling everything I ever said or did. Everything must go! Don’t leave without my heart and soul. I’m doing it my way. I’m doing it Smartbay. You want it, we got it.

Dead Frets (free) 02:19
Buzzing in my ears. Wet spots on the stairs. Buzzing in my ears. It’s all everywhere. I tune you, you let me down. I rule you, the best around. Your only dream, a time machine: start things over. Your own advice sounded so nice: a no leaf clover. Flickering fixtures. Dead frets on the neck. Hat switch isn’t grounded. Dead spots on the flesh. That switch isn’t grounded. Dead frets on the neck.

B'Kawk 01:54
It came to me in a dream. It came to me in my sleep. I always knew that it was you behind the midnight screaming. Dreaming.

For every one you buy, I get two. I can do this act alone. I often do. Are you feelin’ it? I’m feelin’ it. I studied just enough to mess me up for the rest of my life. One show, goodbye. White suit, right hand pocket.

Maserati 05:21
I know you bust your skull. We’ll roam until we’re full up. Two fold and too slow. Rectify the wire. Windblown, sandstrewn. I found the trap door. I know you bust your skull. I know we’ll roll too slow. Free will, see what you’re made of. Refill. We’ll tie your pain up. Square peg, round hole. That’s how we like it. (That’s how we roll.) Cold froth, pit boss. You’ll recognize it.

Fwappy 03:25
The sound of the ocean crashing against the shore drives this distance between us. More of a slap than a roar. More than a roar. If she put her mind to it, she could send out a wave, wiping islands away. The hand of god makes a sound when it strikes. Taking your breath away and bringing a tear to your eye. Under the surface there lurks a force beyond human measure. The darkness and all the light. The source of all pain and pleasure.

Xanadude (free) 04:59
I will wake up and rain is all I have left. It’s my makeup. The sunrise, a sunkist swept. We’ll all run for the hills. Take a giant step, turn around and the turn will run intercept. Looking over your shoulder will surely wreck all the chances we made. Can I have the check? My mounting ambition will clog the tap. Run the prints and you’ll find my last epitaph. Where do we go from here? Make sure you don’t look back. Someday a real rain will come. We’ll splash in the puddles and play. Someday a real rain will come and wash those years away. Hey, is it day? Is it night? All the same anyway. Yesterday I was tired but today I’m entirely expired. Someday a real rain will come and let loose forever and a day. Someday a real rain will come. Someday we’ll say the sun was once but now a distant memory and be satisfied that all the lies we told will be forgot eventually. So save tonight. Tomorrow’s blacker than today. Be brave tonight and wash those years away.
