He and She

Hello there! Welcome!
I think of all the friends that I have and that I've had and that I'll have
I look at all the things that are now and that have been and that will be
I see a man on the open sea--he is telling me he is the enemy
He ropes himself to an open flame--he doesn't feel pain and he leaves in smoke
Six, one with the air
Six, one with the ground
Six, one with the aether
Six, one with the fire
He and she are the same only separated by time--my time
Ain't it great
Couldn't it always be on the other team? Box the other one--wouldn't that be fun?
Couldn't it be some kind of angel coming for me, right through me
Crash right into the center of the exterior
Ain't that something
Ain't that something nice
The trees provide the cover
Fill boxes #2 pencils
Glue all the eyes on all the guise I knew before all of this
Six, one with #2 pencils
That's it!

The Other Lion
02:25
|
|||
|
Mark, John, Matthew, and Lucas
Gina, Tina, and ballerinas
Couldn't it be that other Lion
Madam was, is, a madman
Black and tan fantasy all the lands
Paul, Vile, Mark Arm, and Jeffrey
John Henry claiming Cassius Clayton

Flowers and All
02:07
|
|||
|
Her fan caught a breeze and carried her away
Up to the clouds
Floating
There was a rain of beads, it rained for days
Causing a flood
Plastic everywhere
Waking up
Check out the hall, flowers and all
Painted right
Beautiful light, flowers and all
Watch the sand
Not by my hand, flowers and all
Reject lobotomy, the reign of wanting to be a bore
Repression stay no more
Flowers and all

Rapport
02:57
|
|||
|
How can you hide out all the damage you done
Tore down the walls just having our fun
Clean up the mess
Can the rapport be brought back--can it be revived
Can it be as beautiful as the countryside
Would hard work and labor--would they go far
Turning gems from dirt is kind of hard
Show-and-tell art scene--painting, hanging lights
The kid dinner plate transforms into life
Irrational success
The rapport was brought back--it is revived
It is more beautiful than the countryside
Y'hard work and labor--they went far
Turning gems from dirt was not that hard
Just one more thing!
Time for goodbye now
Sure wish you could stay

Extraordinarily Late
03:38
|
|||
|
In a prison on a night shift
Thinning out the paint
In a prison on a night shift
Will you be ok
In the arms of an angel
In the arms of a loved one
In the arms of an angel
Who is watching your only son
Extraordinarily late, but still in time enough to catch the end of the global break-in--on the regular
Swap the mask for another one
Swap the mask for a better one
Swap the mask for another one
Fortune always loves the young
Pull the break on the train car
Pull the break on the wreck'd star
Pull the break on the train car
Cannot stop what is done is done

Safe Women
03:18
|
|||
|
Under the big awning by
Yellow, the great tiger drawing, bawling while the
Police sped up, only drop-out
Women celebrate our lives
Diversely we make our claims about where it begins
But we always have to ask are the women safe
They have already begun
They should here be our priority #1
Dragging the lead of the wisdom
Freshen the face--Aqua Velva is a magic potion
Draining of the Aral Sea
Which perfume is me
We are all #1

TV
03:20
|
|||
|
I watch the birds crossing the street and I think they look nice
I watch the apartments from my house flipping
I watch it all like TV but I don't even watch TV
What happened to TV
I watch the city from airplanes
I watch and I watch and I watch and I watch and I watch and I watch but I also feel
I watch and I watch and I watch and I watch and I watch and I watch but I also ride
Where is TV
Somebody tell me
I want I want I want I want my all TV
Want it now
And I feel and I ride

Well Now
03:31
|
|||
|
Keep your stuff, throw it out--don't be wasteful--I don't care
Well now
Look at you--got a bed, nothing else but your style
Well now
I can't see you in this
Shoving out all the badness
Flying out of my skin to hear you rip on the service
Coming home, feel less nervous
Just want to get undressed
I will be alone
Just me and God, all concerned parties
No need to explain a thing
At least on my end
Grab a spouse, grab some friends, have a picnic, play some ball
Well now
Gain a skill, fix your shit, keep it running, not your mouth
Well now
False god, false value, false joy, false wealth
Well now
Don't need more, don't need less--think about something else
Well now
Don't need more, don't need less--go outside, have some fun!

Perenniality
04:40
|
|||
|
Behind the curtain call
There's been an army of the extra best
With all the folding and the holding
To try to keep it working on the wheel
Flowers bloom in the spring--only for a day
I want to stay alive through the whole of the year
Perenniality--it feels right
Before the end of fall
In no uncertain terms there's a certain relief and angst in knowing you're not right
It feels good but it is not full
It gets better

Soft Surroundings 802
by Daniel Sohn
Each song is its own contained universe, whisking you away to some deep corner of your mind or some undiscovered part of the world. It's a superhuman feat of composition with masterful production.
