"I am small. Just a little speck. About the size of a molecule, what did you expect? I'm not trying to win or lose, and I'm not quite French. But I am a lighthouse. On the shore. On a board, I'm faster than you think. Unmovable if I want to be. But not when we sink. Deeper in, into each other's arms. I am a lighthouse, on the shore. Let my beacon, guide you ashore. Into, into my arms. "

Serpentor quote, then:"All your life, you have been waiting for the one. But waiting's not how it's done, now that the time has come. On your own, the day is here. mmm mmm mmm hhmm All my life I have been dreaming of your eyes meeting mine. The day is here. mmm hmm mm hmm mm mm"

A true story: "Honestly there's nothing to it. You touch the nerve, and then the brain does most of the work. In the midst of your decisions, life unfolds. You do, or you don't, until you're old. And I hope you find what you need. I urge you because you're my best friend. All I said was you got it, tried to help you scale the walls you put there yourself. Only the most focused approach seems right, when done with no mind. = I know we'll find what we need, and I love you because you're my best friend. If you're hungry and possessed. Sworn to play. Then get the trial and error on it's way. Falling and falling. That is good. Follow the way. I'll follow you."

Miss Fire 04:31
"Oops I didn't mean to hit that button yet. What the heck's an accident? I don't know, I can't control my gremlins as pets. As of yet, this song's out of my hands, had no plans. I just followed my ears and now we're here again. In the stream, in the dream, in the river to the sea, you don't think. You're just free. Come and go as you please. 2x. Miss Fire. Huh! Miss Fire! From my mind is a pathway to my hand. Sometimes it feels like that line is drawn with crayon. Haha. Miss Fire, Miss Fire. From my mind, is a pathway to my hand, yeah. Miss Fire. ooooh, oh what the? Sometimes it feels like that line is drawn with crayon. Miss Fire, Miss Fire, Miss Fire. MISS FIRE!"

"I want to find a yellow light tonight. Barely made it. Stripped naked. You can't hide the skeleton's inside, can't escape it. It's in plain sight. Red turns green. Now please say what you mean. I am patient, losing patience. Desperation's not a mask that I want to put on, but I'll wear it, I ain't scared kid, no. I look to the side across the center divide. I see your face, and you see mine. Is there a way to connect through barriers that protect, to collide. (whispered): I want to collide with you girl. Red turns green. Now please, say what you mean. I wonder if you're going my way. My way. I hope you are going my way. Red turns green. More than just a craig's list missed connection. We can go anywhere, just pick a direction. (whispered): I wanna collide with you. I wonder if you're going my way, my way. I hope you are going my way."

Party Boys 02:56
"You're not gone. You're right here. We're having the most fun out of everyone. It's unclear. You don't know. You're vulnerable but you're comfortable too. No problems. Dance to forget. Shake it off. Dance to forget. I can't live my life pretending that money's important. It falls right through your hands. What's shaped me the most are the lessons from friendships that have made me a better human. You're so worried, don't let it bother you. ohohohoooh ohoh no problems. Dance to forget. Ohooh oh oh oohoh shake it off. Dance to forget. You're so tough. You're so cool. You're crying to your favorite movie from your childhood. You've gone through too much to hold back now. Just move and the let the spirit begin to move you from within. whoa oh oh oh, no problem, dance to forget, shake it off. You're not worried. Won't let it bother you."

Not knowing 06:03
Other people are just as important as me! "I only saw the things I wanted, that I wanted to see. I only saw, the things I wanted. I wanted you with me. To be with me. I will find you someday. In the meantime, it's spring time. Summer's on it's way. The whole world just opens up when you realize you have enough. I'm content to live. There could be less, there could more. I don't know what's in store, but I want to share it with you. I want to share it with you."

about

This is a B-side I made to compliment Ellis Lee's recordings on the A-side. This was really the first time I had the full capacity to record by myself with instruments and singing and all that. There's also some old tape recorded stuff in there. It's all underpainting.
