1. Colorblind (Radio)

on a beach twenty yards from the roadside
back again 6 AM far from sleep
must be 290 blue on the water
it's gray to me 3 CV is all I see

green can only hold you in the garden
too much red will go right to your head
but if it's all the same to you
give me back my blue
other colors fade anyway

i'm colorblind three way tragedy
pantone memory grayscale eyes
maybe i'm paranoid yeah that's my problem
you almost have to be when you look like me

stopped in the shade of a road sign
when the sun rose like a bomb
tried to read the simple writing
but the letters came out wrong
it's all white lines to me
but things are getting clearer
i can almost read the writing in the mirror

i'm colorblind three way tragedy
pantone memory grayscale eyes
maybe i'm paranoid yeah that's my problem
you almost have to be when you look like me

green can only hold you in the garden
too much red will go right to your head
but if it's all the same to you
give me back my blue
other colors fade anyway

i'm colorblind freeway tragedy
pantone memory x-ray eyes
where'd all the color go on my radio?
you almost have to be a satellite to see.

2. On The Page (Radio)

tell me something stupid
auction off my diary
life is getting esoteric
let me in your movie
each time i walk out the door
someone mixes metaphors
life is so much cleaner on the page

it's like the morning when i'm dreaming
and everything is so pristine
it's just a seven hour movie
and i'm in every scene

let me in my t.v.
get this tape to tori
got to have a subplot
when i sell them my life story
maybe i should write it first
and do the living later
'cause life is so much cleaner on the page

it's like the time i lost my body
and then i saw it on t.v.
somehow it shed a whole dimension
but it still looked like me
(hey! that looks like me!)

each time i write lines for it
someone improvises it
life is so much cleaner on the page
life is so much cleaner on the page

3. Even The Waves (Radio)

me & judas lost at sea
under electric twilight fading
i look at him he sees through me
40 days and we're still waiting

i'm not tired but i think i'll lay back anyway
i'm not welcome but i think i'll stay

me & jonas lost at sea
deep inside a dream we're trailing
heard him whisper wait for me
sun goes down and we're still sailing

i'm not nervous but i think i'll lay back anyway
i'm not helpless but i think i'll stay
and even the waves won't carry me away

keep heading west that's the best
may be lost but i'm not crazy
stay where you are not too far
keep it up you're doing fine
well i thought i was fine

me & joseph lost at sea
under rain and slowly waking
he looks around and smiles at me
41 and we're still waiting

i'm not tired but i think i'll lay back anyway
i'm not hopeless but i think i'll stay
and even the waves won't carry me away

4. Blanket (Demo)

Memory save me I'm fuckin up. Constantly laid on the ground. Looking for
signs on the ceiling (she wants me to know she wants me around).
Think I was moving to something. Thought I was sailing along. Had to be
sailing for someplace (thought I was right, but I must have been wrong).
You do make a beautiful blinder, you hide things I don't want to see. Your
arms cover me like a blanket and maybe it's all that I need.
Memory save me I'm trippin up. Picking up bones from the ground. Throw me a
chain and I'll climb it up (thought I was up, but I guess I was down). You
look like a dream I was dreaming, a dream of a boy by the sea. You must have
eyes just like mirrors, 'cause I thought I was looking at me. Close your
eyes, think of the Best Thing To Say. iampathetically lost and maybe you
made me this way. Memory save me I'm fuckin up. The sun's just a spot on
the sea. I know I was reaching for something (thought it was you, but I
guess it was me). And the world is a wonderful target, she was a wonderful
world, but God is a girl who won't listen. She was an insolent girl. Close
your eyes and see what you're doing to me. She catches my eye with a cynical
smile and says, "I Cannot Solve All I See". I had a dream (dreams would fill
my head, but I let 'em all slide, american-style, for a blanket that lays
on my bediwaitalldayformysailorandsometimeshecomeswereyousurprisedthathedied
tryingtolookforotherpeoplenohewashewasthetypeofpersonwhowoulddefinitelygol
ookingforthepeople) I wanted to find an innocent mind but only found myself
waiting. I laid on the floor, you walked through the door and now I feel myself fading. I
wanted to find an innocent mind, but only found myself waiting. I laid on
the floor, You walked through the door and now I feel myself fading. Now I
feel myself fading. I jumped on a meaningful wave that carried me right to
the shoreline. I laughed when my face hit the sand and swam out again for
the joyride. I told you the things that I want and you gave me just what I
needed. It's just like my father would want, but I couldn't smile when he
did. I boarded the windows and doors and took the clock down from the
ceiling. But I kept my head to the floor 'cause I had a confident feeling.
Somebody called me today, I answered the door kind of hazy. He told me to
leave all my clothes, he told me to tell you you're crazy. I followed him
out to the street, he pointed and quickly departed. And left me to travel
for weeks, till I get to the place where I started. And I just want to be
where I started, I just want to get back where I started, and I just want
to be where I started, and I just want to get back where I started.
