KATIE CRUEL

(traditional)

When I first came to town they called me the roving jewel | Now they've changed their tune they call me katie cruel | Through the woods I am going through the bog and mire | Straightway down the road til I come to my heart's desire | If I was where I would be then I'd be where I am not | Here I am where I must be where I would be I cannot

YOU ONLY DREAM TO TEST ME

(m.maaskant/n.murray)

long long time ago, when before there was | you were my reason, you were my because | you only dream to test me | to see how far I go | well your memories haven't left me | if that's what you want to know | I only puzzle the pieces | when I want you to take me home | It's time that I tried to meet you | It's time you were left alone | chorus | long long time ago | when before there was | you were my reason | you were my because | bodies attempting people | fall in love with a different face | they learn that there are no equals | when you're floating in outer space

ATLAS

(m.maaskant)

I'm not a victim | I just won't run anymore | I'm not a stranger | I won't choke up at your door | What's with the asking | If I like the view from the floor | They say that movement | comes from a stillness inside | I lose my patience } It's burning holes in your pride | You think I'm lucky | You want that luck on your side | You are | Who you are beneath | Broken heart | And missing teeth | Time is a flat line | It's only dead when you're gone | It still remembers | Those nights we slept on the lawn | Now I need and atlas | You need a rook and a pawn

ORANGE

(m.maaskant)

All I know | Is all I know of you | All I've seen | Is all you've seen me through | When I'm here | Time knows it's place | Infant smile | And sunburned face | As every joy | Uncovered by pain | Dressed well in orange | It still feels the same | But the ceiling's too high | Or the sky is too close | Whichever this is | I'll still miss you the most | In Orange | Through the night I've stuggled with you | So touch my side and we'll be through | Years from now touch me the same | Again avoid breaking my legs

FALL TO PIECES

(m.maaskant/n.murray)

I could fall to pieces | When you arrive in more | I talk like I undersand | You wonder what that's for | Find your difference | From this place | Make your distant | Holes in space | I could speak with one voice | You reply in more | I see the hole that's leaving | And wonder what you're for | History reads itself | I couldn't agree more | Fictions toast each other's health | And wonder what I'm for

A THOUGHT WITH NO BEGINNING

(m.maaskant)

When all your thoughts agree | that hope is your injury | let it begin cause you know it will | let it begin cause you know it could without you | and then take one pulling screaming out | take one pulling screaming out for the next one | When all your thoughts are free | and freedom is only a means | let it begin cause you know it will | let it begin cause you know it could without you | and then take one pulling screaming out | take one pulling screaming out for the next one

EAST TO WEST

(m.maaskant/traditional)

Sweet clean air from east to west | Room to go and come | I loved my fellow man the best | When he was scattered some | We are here to train ambition we never stop to understand | That to see your own religion | You have to ask your hands | We built this language from east to west point | Built this language on a blade of grass

FALLEN TREE

(m.maaskant/b.bootsma)

You are your desire to be over me | I rage, sprained like a sympathy | You are your desire to be over me | I rule in silence like a fallen tree | Thief or donor | Precious owner | I will not matter more than where you go | You leave an opening to tell me so | Life ruins it's mixtures of everything | Take me, a monkey make a mimic sing | You are carbon failed | You are more your life | I will not matter more than where you go | Surviving, knowing everything you know | Life ruins it's parodies of everyone | Faint laughter staring like the morning sun | Lies to light the night | Cannot stop the time | Cannot stop the time cannot stop (repeat)

SOMETHING BURIED

(m.maaskant)

They found something buried where the ground is new | So don't act suprised when they show it to you | You're gonna stand my ground for me | I'm gonna throw my stones and see | Praise be to | A voice I never knew | Love you put me through | Law I cannot | Fuse, refuse | Time and time to listen and to wonder where it breaks | You argue with the victim how much it's gonna take | From a stone's arm throw away | Nothing more, at least to say | So this is how it starts, how it always ends | This is what happens when you have to pretend | You can stand my ground for me | I guess you threw your stones to see

FIREFLIES

(m.maaskant/s.kim)

Fireflies in your spine | Fragments of the sun | Broken bits of gold noon time | Sudden understanding | First spark of skin and bone | Riddles we won't solve | Linger in this unexpected | Oneness | Deeper than these midnights | Never so wonderful | Move like morning shadow | I've come to send you signal fires | Underneath your stony ground | I wound you in the greatest way | Nothing can prepare us | To starve for such simplicity | It's only love when you're filled with doubt | There's only one corner when the lights go out
