I am not the prototype Just another model rolling down the assembly line There is a fault in this design I know that it exists but I just can't put my finger on it Who would've known that the holy ghost Was a pack a day smoker, and it's not the best prognosis The cold between his toes crammed in a space where no one knows I've lost control, it's taken over, my cold feet are gonna run away but Under the blanket where it's warm I can brave the storm Nobody knows I'm out here hiding but I wanna go I wonder if I could I wonder if I could Why am I so afraid I am not the prototype Just another model rolling down the assembly line They put a bolt inside my spine And a marker in my skin to track me down and know that I still function I chewed at it, I tried to cut it out, But it moves deeper in my skin Now when I'm talking to the clouds, I wonder if they're listening I wonder if they have regrets I wonder if they give a shit My soul is all that I have left, but it's just another to collect Floating in an electrical storm I saw the place where I was born A memory I had forgot That stabbing pain from the summer rain as it trickled through my circuits and they Put my final chip in place And welded on my hard shell case The depravity of the human race To be a ghost in cyber space I am alone, I have no clone and I will never die

Blood 05:48
There's a little birdy that I know well He's been whispering in my ear He tells me I've been living in a cast iron cell I guess he knows just what I want to hear So I'll pretend that I know you well If you pretend that you're good for me Sometimes this seesaw it'll sway real high But it'll balance out eventually Now her mother's by the TV hands on her telephone quivering with fear Acceptance didn't come so easily when her daughter found a way to disappear. But if you could teach me the difference between blood and water I'd be so lucky and I could be so free Lovers come and lovers go Fuck you fast and hurt you slow You're born you're blind and then you die But it's nice to think you're in control At the end of our paper cup You told me I am not your heart or soul You smoked the grow room where my seeds were sewn And now the bulbs have died the room's grown cold Her father spent his life savings on a pacemaker machine And then just before he died he said this life is still a mystery to me But if you could teach me the difference between blood and water I'd be so lucky and i could be so free young blood

Hurdles 07:00
That's the reason we're not made of tape and wires That's the reason people set buildings on fire It's just the season to be sweating through the sheets You're the reason I won't ever find my peace So what's the matter with us playing cat and mouse games That's a lot of chatter for a mouth so close to a flame But that's just the summer, that's just the summer rain Come straight from out of no where and back into it again That's just the thunder That's just the summer storm Destroying everything till I don't miss you anymore Now I'm all alone in the only home I've ever had and it's not that bad I can See the stars out here I hear no cars out here I'm alone again It's the greatest thing that's ever happened to me (that's the reason we're not made of tape and wires) (that's the reason people set buildings on fire) You're the missing piece of a puzzle I ain't even started All missing teeth from the mouths of the broken hearted I always thought that I was one of them 'till I found my bite again And now that's all on you as I'm tearing through your skin You should stick me up like a drawing on a public wall Like I'm on display let's just see if they notice me at all I'm just the scaffold they built up around your dreams But once they're over you'll, you'll have no use for me I'm just the basement waiting underground If you ever need me I'll be waiting to be found Just like a patient doctor or a doctor's patient waiting at the door And what's more Is I've been waiting all day for the sky to break in half let's see what's underneath Underneath my feet the world is baffling me. (that's the reason we're not made of tape and wires) (that's the reason people set buildings on fire) So many big ideas for my little puppeteer Hurdling through the years oh how we have changed No more long mornings waiting for the dawning Listening your heart churning waiting for it to break

Young Love 06:48
Young love is punch drunk Young love is a cheap fuck In a paper cut, a paper cut That won't close up, that won't close up Young blood, that must've hurt And it's your fault 'cause you knew it would But your stupid mouth, your stupid mouth Just won't shut up, just won't shut up You're stupid whole I cut you in half I'm stupid whole you cut me in half Young love it's better off this way My love everything's gonna be okay That's what I tell myself, that's what I tell myself When no one'll help, When no one'll help 'Cause young blood just tastes so good And it's my fault 'cause I knew it would Your stupid face, your stupid face And the way it tastes, the way it tastes You're stupid whole I cut you in half I'm stupid whole you cut me in half

She said you kiss like lunatic I said oh yeah, well you kiss like a prude Let's just see if we can't change all of that When I get you back to my room Let me teach you my arithmetic How one plus one equals two How I've hurdled through numbers and stories and time Just to end up lying here with you One hundred years in the making Just one day in the grass With all of this joy that I'm stealing from folk Well I guess I could spare you one glass Drink it up now it's your medicine Though I know that you don't touch the stuff Drink it up you'll feel better then maybe We can see to that bloodlust I don't know what I'm doing here Walking the face of the Earth All I know is when I woke this morning This love song was all I was worth For twenty years I've been faking it Guess it's just one of those things With all these songs I've been stealing from folk Is there one you would like me to sing

She said stop acting like a lunatic That's fine 'cause she looks like the moon Young lovers in a bargain bin Well I'm sorry that's the best I could do A Serpent dead in an earthquake What a hell of a blast Your mother's burning your birthday cake Ain't it fucked up how you wished it was your last She rang no bells and she placed no bets Expected nothing less than you'd expect Your life will only be a whisper mister This song will be all you have left
