Flower 03:10
i can look at myself from a distance i can watch me walk right by somewhere warm is a heart that's beating but the rest of me has long since died and i imagine us from a distance with two hellos and one goodbye somewhere deep the potential is building but the rest of us has already cried and i have hope that a flower is growing in a quiet place on a mountainside but her fragile beauty will never be noticed cause the rest of the world has long turn blind and had i known that her spirit was drowning i'd have faked a smile and left that night with my conscience light as the voice of an angel and my feet weighed down like a mother's heart cause someone told me the darkness is brighter where the flower grows on the mountainside but my tragedy is never to meet her cause my arms are numb and my legs won't climb

Orbit 02:00
seems that sooner rather than later life lets you know how it is you ought not be living by all standards but your own humanity will be more pleased to not have you there even if you make up part of definition normal but that is so far from the end it should look like the start you know you've started living when self criticism is your friend you sense you might just be alive when staying still, not moving, staying still feels like dying but if self pleasure lasts too long if self love becomes to strong hit me, kick me, shut me down before the shame for i was the last to orbit and i'm never coming back down if down means ground and ground means still and still means lack of sound some things you really could have told me most things i really should have known yeah i'm not losing time looking for someone to blame forgot how to tell a story something outside my world outside my brain

Lead singer vocal range is bass-baritone (think Nick Cave).
