Witchdoctor 04:33
My friend witchdoctor gave me the strip, took me out of my mind it'd been aching and throbbing and grinding for so long a time and she told me to, told me to, told me to sniff my wrist if I want to come home. Orange blossom water... My friend witchdoctor she burn the sage, I mean she burn the cricket wire say evil away she took the time, took the time, took the time to advocate - said "Boy, get the things that you need." Orange blossom water... I am not sad, I'm just not here and I am not happy, I'm only smiling I am waiting for this rebirth to end sniff my wrist - wait to feel at home My friend witchdoctor cast a spell, run off - twenty four hours time now the aching and throbbing and grinding returns to my mind and so i kneel down, i kneel down, i kneel down sniff my wrists - maybe this is my home Orange blossom water... You only do what you have to do There's no mistakes, there's only trying I could never pretend to know what I've done Sniff my wrist Smell that orange blossom water

It's like old times when I'm with you I've got no time for sad and lonely, twisted and confused i got things to do - go riding in the car with you i like to listen to your head unwind i like your purple leopard print sunglasses and your dark affected hair you mystify like the paint upon your windshield don't forget to come by say hi sometime i've got all the time in front of me and i can do nearly anything, pull down the egypt sun that's how i feel when your eyes are on me there is no blood trailing hurting is a part of living and i still got your band-aid how can i help? how can i help it? don't forget to come by say hi sometime I will not watch you drive away I will not turn my head I will not let it wreck me, oh no I will not over think it I'll just see you around… and thanks for the ride give me just a sliver of your time i have words that have been frozen behind glass but i am older now we got things to do, burn down your walls give me just a pallet on your floor we'll make the sky radiate in neon and i'll catch all your vicious dreams come let me be your scorpio secret i want to be your nature's quarrel and i will leave you alone when you want it and when you want me, ill be around

Maggots 03:54
this death is lonely this summer's been cold and the heat gets to me summer nights have gone to hell summer nights have left me moldy water summer nights have gone to shit this moon is a window into my dreams and tonight it burns like a hangnail summer nights have gone to hell summer nights have left me tossing and turning summer nights have gone to shit maggots eat away, maggots eat away at what's left of my brother maggots eat away, maggots eat away at what's left of my love maggots eat away, maggots eat away all hope is churning fodder there's a hooded figure around the corner staring me down cicadas singing a funeral song, got a bomb full of ashes on my kitchen table take me to the park so i can look down the barrel of a gun milk tastes like vinegar wine is stale everything is gathering flies summer nights have gone to hell summer nights have left me festering summer nights have gone to shit maggots eat away, maggots eat away this garden needs water maggots eat away, maggots eat away these weeds have grown tall maggots eat away, maggots eat away all hope is churning fodder

Volcano 03:45
I had a wicked dream - mmmmmm Where I done a wicked thing - mmmmmm He didn't see it coming He didn't see it coming Heads rollin' on the floor mmmmmmm There was a white picket fence - mmmmmm Got to shape-shiftin' - mmmmmm I lost all control It took over me and I didn't see it coming mmmmmmm Get me to the volcano Gotta get there before the sun goes down Through fog patches and twisted roads I paid for this car, I'm gonna drive it into the ground mmmmmmm I talked to my friend - mmmmmm He had the same dream, too - mmmmmm Must have been somethin' in the water I took a drink mmmmmmm Get me to the volcano Gotta get there before the sun goes down I'm guided by voices through twisted roads I paid for this car, I'm gonna drive it into the ground or till my head's rollin on the floor

I wake up in the morning with a vague recollection of arms once wrapped 'round my waist I roll over slowly and gaze at the wall brush it off, and get on with my day I walk down the stairs, grind up the coffee let it brew, while I try to grasp at the feeling that lingers from whatever I was dreaming then I throw away the grounds and it all rushes back it's the morning that we woke up to the thunder and rain when you held me and told me let's lay here all day while the heaven pours its judgement down your memory leaves me and the rain stays around there are things I come across in my day-to-day living that cause a paint to pass through i'm fine one moment and the next i'm in ruin and I don't know what I should do because all that used to bring me joy no longer satisfies I look at my friends and I see only strangers they don't know how i'm dying inside from the moment that we woke up to the thunder and rain when you held me and told me let's lay here all day while the heaven pours its judgement down your memory leaves me and the rain stays around now i'm outside of my body and my eyes are glazed over though I'm sober, or at least i've tried but there's a haze wrapped around me like i'm coming down from the biggest lift of my life and the nighttime leaves me deeply disturbed by an aching i've never known i awaken from sleep again and again this lingering feeling just keeps lingering on like the morning that we woke up to the thunder and rain when you held me and told me let's lay here all day while the heaven pours its judgement down your memory leaves me and the rain stays around your memory leaves and the rain...
