Pierce Da'esigil Everything about this record screams creativity and really shows Lervold's artistic capabilities. There's not a thing about it that I don't like. Favorite track: Important Things to Ants.

So we start it all over One last time Some things are forever Some things are not meant to last Some things are not meant to be Look back and laugh With time Look back and laugh With time Look back and laugh

Mr. Ffrench 03:52
There's more than meets the eye Moving in space and time There's no writing on the wall At all (At all) All is motion Unbroken ocean An ebbing, a flowing A coming and a going The wonder, the why? Wide open skies Circles and cycles Tossing and turning So much on my mind Wired, inspired Circles and cycles Notes from small islands Such heavy eyelids Circles and cycles Older, not wiser Sitting simply Watching life pass by "Relax," they say "These are the best years Enjoy the sun today"

"I've got a feeling that We'll all still be right here (In ten years)" I'd say I've come to find These memories Have larger lives than mine Yeah I've been down this road I know these streets (Where they lead yeah where they go) I'm screaming once again (Give me a sign) This isn't right So many regrets So many things that I kept secrets Bad decisions And good times These roots, they bind me Consistently remind me This history's Just chemistry It has to be A long ride And a lengthy look at life Wide awake In the middle of the night Lifetimes of words Once spoken But never heard Forever trapped in an old world There's nothing new under the sun Just the pushes Of dead masters Six dollars well spent For a lifetime of memories

Sharing whole pots of coffee While hanging out with Judy The lunatic fringe Drinking dandelion wine Celebration goes all night This is the golden age And no matter what It will never be lost

Mule Mural 01:52
I'm a master of Intentional procrastination And avoiding, at all costs Unnecessary socialization No more going through the motions It can't be done alone Gotta shake This current lack of communication It's time to let it go No more going through the motions It can't be done alone

Nash 03:45
You wanna know the truth? I'm an impostor A snake citizen A waste of precious time Through and through and through I am a ghost town Wish that I could be more bold Problem is, truth be told (I'm an impostor) A waste of precious time (I'm an impostor) All I want is a sign So I can write the perfect line (I'm an impostor) A waste of precious time (I'm an impostor)

Hey! Don't you know? That everything Is gonna be all right?! Old friend So much has changed But beneath it all We're still the same Far apart But only in distance This is the reckless age Mists of early morning Touched gold by summer sun Moon lies on blue paper A solipsistic fantasy Hey! Don't you know? That everything Is gonna be all right?!
8.
If you always do What you've always done You will always get What it is you've got (My heart can't take it) I can't fake it Sunrise Floats through an open window Pack up my things I've got to get out of This town The sun sets On this desert island This beginning Is another's end We shuffle on All too slowly Never rushing To get ahead Nothing special Just sunlight through the trees A summer day Spent ill at ease
9.
How will I know When I've gotten where I'm going to? How will I know? When I am where I'm meant to be? How will I know? Double visions Possible lives Chance to resolution At the hands of consequence At the hands of consequence

Data Krupa 03:02
A black flag flew For a smiling Face full of laughter Missed opportunities To make things right You always knew We're in the stars The wind cries your name Blue Jay (Behold, the shock and awe of life's vicissitudes) A black flag flew For a smiling Face full of laughter Lost opportunities To make things right (Fly away)
11.
What do you know? Sometimes things go Just how they're supposed to I think that we should take A walk around the lake And see who we are When we come around A nervous glance A new romance Echoes of our past lives And then one day I'll realize I've got everything I want Right here in this car Just you and me Just as we are As we are

Watching rain Drizzle on the windowpane Life in Olympia The space lay in ruins Faded and stained Kaleidoscopes of characters And fates taking shape Watching rain Drizzle on the windowpane While fates take shape While fates take shape Sitting on the curb Hoping someday that I'll be heard So it goes So they say You can't fight fate Though forever may Or may not be A word that applies To you and me That's okay We have today
