1.Dollar Swines: I know there's cash in the mattress I’m gonna burn it tonight I've had my fill of semantics time now for fight or flight she’s got her hooks in the heart meat knows she can tear it apart and he's got his hand in the pocket so they're all getting what they want (ha hah) Manikin walk with a stilt leg woman can stand on her head coins come clanking on hard wood into the piggy bank under the bed She’s got a right to save up She’s gonna burn it instead manikin walk with a stilt leg into the piggy bank under the bed A little money and a lie that we can buy that is all it’s all we have to live for Saving up for some castle in the sky that is all well it’s all we've ever had Got a piece of mail this evening you never would believe what it said daddy left me all of his fortune daddy's fortune’s all in his head Barely made it into your twenties dollars never made any sense daddy left me all of his fortune daddy's fortune’s all but spent A little money and a lie that we can buy that is all it’s all we have to live for Saving up for some big shiny thing well that is all... GO! I don't wanna find that I'm a Dollar Swine crooked tail and hooves from hell and a taste for the poison wine I said, “my god!” A little money and lie that we can buy that is all.... yeah!

2. Baby In A Tree: Lately I've been feeling Ill at ease Ill at ease I'm a baby In a tree Don't look at me My skin covers me but deep inside what you can't see I keep it hid especially from birds of pray who want to feed and when you go far out on a limb well then you'll see Lately I've been moving to and fro with the breeze there's so much wind blowing through my tree I'm a baby lay hands on me Where’ve all my friends gone where could they be where could they be Deep down in my soul deep deep down deeper still I have no idea when the branch will give good lord and I’ve been waiting so long to be found find me now and you can leave me just a baby in a tree Lately I’ve been feeling all this pain in my back from all the knives you say relax well i can't do that If i stop to take a breath I might choke choke to death I’m a baby in a tree the air is thin around me where’ve all my friends gone where could they be where could they be Deep down in my soul deep deep down deeper still I have no idea when the branch will give good lord and I’ve been waiting so long to be found find me now and you can leave me just a baby in a tree Dig me a hole a bed for my roots to grow dig it deep and dig it slow deep down in my soul I've been waiting so long So if you say it’s the end for me understand for me that’d be fine you see because we all know the branch gives some day good lord

Barely Aware 03:44
3. Barely Aware I woke up and my dream was alive But dying It was dark it was still it was calm It took a moment to think Why I ever started Another moment to put my clothes on I tried to sing but the song Was a little broken It was here it was there it was wrong Took a moment to be who I thought Was talking Another moment to put the face on All the ins and outs and how Am I supposed to know? When to give of myself And when to close the door? Sometimes I want to just walk through the door And holler Kick a table and pull someone’s hair Get arrested and call someone To get a dollar Get released and start all over again I am NOT a free man Don’t put that on me I was born in prison Trapped in this body I woke up in a dream There was skin growing all over me There were ships sinking into the sea Consumed by the industry But I can’t seem to get you to care It’s the truth but you’re barely aware Yeah you’re cute But in your heart You’re scared That’s the truth and you’re barely aware This is your first day First hour anyway What happens from here is a choice A push A pull A stone’s throw away I woke up in a dream There was skin growing all over me There were ships sinking into the sea Controlled by the industry But I can’t seem to get you to care It’s the truth but we’re barely aware Yeah we’re cute But in our hearts we’re scared That’s the truth but we’re barely aware And I just wanna get you to care It’s the truth and you’re already there Every soul has a cross to bear That’s the truth and we’re already there
