Track Name: Travis Turner - Reptilian Awakening
Be as the snake
that grows til it dies.
Each skin you shed,
cells of colorful surprise.
Smell with the tongue,
feel in stereo with your being;
an emerald cascade
of subtle sinew smoothing.
Mating in a ball,
a mad mass writhing.
Females are buried under all
the males fighting to carry
their birthright. Through
struggles
taking weeks,
young serpents kill on instinct,
minutes after appearance.
We thrash ourselves silly,
with our eyes still closed.
Theirs never shut
lash-like scale surrounds perpetual rose.
Track Name: Housepet - Ghost
Thoughts hang in the air here
And you stand still while I'm drawn near
On the rope from last year
Around my neck without a care

You don't have to tip-toe around
My chalkline on the ground
'Cause I always was a ghost
And you saw through me the most

And it's time for me to go
I really wanna know so I'll be
Talking to my best friend
And you stand still, my will will bend
Walking to my death bed
Anticipating nothingness

You don't have to tip-toe around
My chalkline on the ground
'Cause I always was a ghost
And you saw through me the most

Now that all this time's past
Was I real and who's to ask?
Standing where I stood last
If there are tears, take them back

'Cause you don't have to tip-toe around
My chalkline on the ground
'Cause I always was a ghost
And you saw through me the most
Track Name: Savannah Smith - Ventriloquism
I've been sitting on your knee for way too long
I no longer will be a victim of ventriloquism
Well, me and my strings we are leaving your machine, but
Oh oh no now I am my own
Oh oh no now I am my own

I string together words to let the world inside my chest
I do my best to turn my forehead to a looking glass
You stole my voice from right inside of my throat, but
Oh oh no now I am my own
Oh oh no now I am my own

Now I walk a line, it's a thin line and my steps are heavy and
My loves knotted hands with never see the day I fall
And if you shoot me at my best
Behind me stands my safety net
Oh oh no now I am my own, but
Oh oh no now I am not alone
Track Name: Isaac Halvorson - Gotta Write a Song
I put my pencil
to the paper
I've gotta do it now
I cannot do it later

For if I wait
all of the other guys
they will swoop
and she won't even hear my cries

I've gotta write a song
if I wanna keep my baby
or Tommy, or Johnny, or Billy, or Bobby,
they'll come write in and take her away from me

Been going steady
for almost two months
and though we fight constantly
we've never quit once

All of my friends
they wonder why I keep her around
I'd say it's obvious
it's cause she digs my sound

I've gotta write a song
if I wanna keep my baby
or Tommy, or Johnny, or Billy, or Bobby,
they'll come write in and take her away from me

I don't have a hot car
and I don't play football
but I've got something she longs for
I've got the gift
of tone and pitch
she'll love me when I sing this song

I've gotta write a song
if I want to keep my baby
or tommy, or jonny, or billy, or bobby,
they'll come write in and take her away from me
Track Name: Karnotic - Tomorrow Morning
It was Winter and the night was oh so warm
It's raining, and the air grows cold
How should I wear my hair tomorrow morning?
How will I know this storm's over storming?

It was Springtime but the trees were dying
In the Summer they kind of wither so, so, so, so,
If I don't head these warnings,
How do I wear my hair tomorrow morning?

Oh no no I didn't prepare for the weather
Oh no no a shawl would've been so much better

What season are we in presently?
If it's Summer, why the snow, why does it fall, fall, fall, fall?
This fog is dense, it's growing
How do I wear my hair tomorrow morning?

In this Autumn there's life living
In the Winter the air's so warm, warm, warm, warm
You told me eyes close to closing
How do I wear my hair tomorrow morning?

Oh no no I didn't prepare for the weather
Oh no no a shawl would've been so much better
Track Name: Travis Turner - Tributary
Pale jade mantis,
preaching against fire,
leaps and flutters his
wings, shuttering round a striking match.
The mayflies buzzing, pray;
As trees' duet with wind
sing goodbye to another day.
As fast as one leg,
quicker two.
The same four wheels
with room for a few.
All this before.
I told my trenchmates,
"Mud is the worst part,
because you're good
enough to be here,
and footing should be your only
wavering reason."
Death doesn't waffle.
Be careful.
Deflect treason.
Embrace our reins
forced upon us
by parents with cloudy veins.
I'll yank against my traces,
with other whiskered faces
in faith enough to be bound.
Sun sinks, snow falls, rain drops, moon rise
And a leather ties
packdogs panting and pulling,
together in love,
home is found.
