Geometry

You're so convex and I'm so concave
You're a con-vixen nobody could contain
I'm a con-cave man with a real conviction
That you and me, baby, make the pretty kind of contradiction
You're such a-cute angle, I'm so obtuse
I'll still complement you I don't need any excuse
'Cause when we get together, oh, we fit together,
And it feels so right, ninety degrees, Fahrenheit
Oh, you've got that hold over me
Oh, it's just geometry
You say I'm down to Earth
I think you're out of this world
You're a planet queen
That I'd be happy just to orbit around but now
You're telling me I've got to get my feet on the ground
You and me, trying to start another revolution
I know Galileo faced a little Catholic persecution
Maybe next year you say, we shouldn't give up hope
It's written in the stars but I forgot my telescope
Oh, you've got that hold over me
Oh, it's just astronomy
Lately I've been feeling somewhat existential
Seems like nothing that we do is ever consequential
You know I've always had the best of good intentions
But I just don't care about anything, anymore
Oh, you've got that hold over me
Oh, it's just philosophy
Oh, you've got that hold over me
Oh, it's just geometry

Quiet Myth
03:46
|

|
It happened so suddenly
Suddenly I had found my mirror
Don't look too long they said but I was already dead
And waiting for the resurrection
It wasn't quite meant to be
That I was meant to be wandering everlasting
Somehow I found myself at the base of a wall
And looking for the missing pieces
Now I understand
That I could be a planet if I had only planned it that way
Now I do believe
If I cannot relieve it, it just makes sense to give it away
Tolerate my gifts and explicate my sins
I do believe
This is where the story ends and quiet myth begins
You know it still seems to me
To some degree I'm being melodramatic
But then you know it's true that it's only for you
And all the world's a play, anyway
We still have yet to see
Could it be something more unfamiliar
Right now I don't know if it's only for show
And if I did I couldn't tell you
If I did I wouldn't tell you
Now I understand
That I could be a planet if I had only planned it that way
Now I do believe
If I cannot relieve it, it just makes sense to give it away
Tolerate my gifts and explicate my sins
I do believe
This is where the story ends and quiet myth begins

Night Shift
03:15
|

|
Don't you think it's a little unreasonable
To expect me to show up to a ten o'clock shift on a Friday night
Without being just a little bit drunk
Don't you think it's a little unnatural
To have me working all night and to the next day
You expect me to be satisfied with overtime pay
You're surprised when you find I have nothing to say to you
Don't tell me you wanna work for the rest of your life
Don't tell me you can't think of anything better
Don't tell me you wanna work for the rest of your life
Don't tell me you're all right
Don't you know, how did you get here?
Was it something you bought or something you sold?
Something that's hot or something that's cold?
Something you stole, or something you gave away?
Don't you ask, how did we get here?
When nothing is quite what it appears?
Nothing's for sale except blood, sweat and tears?
Nothing's worth what you pay for it anymore?
Don't tell me you wanna work for the rest of your life
Don't tell me you can't think of anything better
Don't tell me you wanna work for the rest of your life
Don't tell me you're all right

Destiny
03:22

|
I got a room in the top of a hotel downtown
I guess you could say I'm elevated
I didn't have anywhere else to go but at least I'll never be late again
Destiny
I got a date with destiny
Shut me down destiny
Fuck me up destiny
You left a cigarette lighter in my left shirt pocket
I guess you could say I'm ignited
You left a cell phone charger in my car
Isn't that exciting?
Isn't that electrifying
You know I took it personally when you said I was a made man
You never gave me any opportunity to implement any plan
To show you the kind of man I am
Destiny always keeps her promises to me
She never seems to leave me alone
Destiny never forget about me
I can always get her on the telephone
I hope you don't mind, Destiny
If I ask a little too much of you this time around
I hope you don't mind, Destiny
If I ask a little too much of you this time around
