"The Day I Went Up To The Screen And Defeated My Self Pity" Verse 1: I'm not complaining anymore What was I even queing for? I've got my health and I've got good friends And I've pushed them both to the bitter end But things are never all right And I choose to emphasize this plight Chorus: I want to know real pain too I'll fake it 'til I make it So someday I can feel like you Verse 2: There's an app for this and an app for that But I want to see you, I want to connect I'd throw away all these digital tools But in ANY day & age It'd make me a fool When I was living in Tokyo I felt so alive Walking around with this sickness inside Chorus Verse 3: My father supports what I do An old school capitalist trying to make it too You yell at your dad all the time And we hardly fight, but he's still mine Stories surrounded by smoke filled with regret I always forgive and I always forget cuz... Chorus

"Going To Kerr Hall" Verse 1: The sudden booming of a crash Startles me awake I'm waiting at the bus stop It's nearly close to eight Weiss is on my headphones Confessing simple truth my nails are way too long My guitar's way out of tune Chorus: And I'm way to fragile for this am I not? am I not? I frighten easily a lot! alot! Verse 2: I try to get off early Alas it fails again A dancer's failing final cut But I must help her she's my friend My lunch is packed with little boxes I eat between the calls My eyes are losing all their vigor living in this hall chorus

"And Now, There's No Sound, And I'm Empty" Verse 1: All along you were singing to me All along I refused to believe All along unconscious harmony All along in a spectrum I would not see Chorus: And now, there's no sound, and it's empty Verse 2: All along you whispered in my ears All along my pen moved when you were near All along we worked as one, as peers All along my fingers moved right here Chorus: x3 And now, there's no sound, and it's empty And now, there's no sound, and I'm empty

"Going To Kaikoura" Verse 1: I told you I wanted the world But I don't think that I meant it You were really sure that I loved you But I never really felt it I see a path that lies before me And I know that I could have it But what's the point, when I know in my heart It's not really what I believe in Chorus: I'm gonna leave this town for Kaikoura I'm setting sail to spend some time with the whales Where the waves go and rattles the rocks Where solitude wins it prevails

Existential Hero-"Sally Shapiro" Verse 1: I can feel the electrons in the chill I see hundreds full but I've had my fill to jump lightly is a worthy thing to see to feel everything Chorus: The ecstasy! The air! Agility! Free! I love you and I love everything Verse 2: Whimsy madness of the scene Monet's vision frames the screen this express of moments feels so nice I brief respite these fragile nights Bridge: point c 2.3 it never really matters it made it here and now I'm free this is the epicenter Chorus

"Baby, I'll Wait For You (Almost Spirited Away Pt. 3)" Verse 1: When I think about you I fall back in love And after all that we've been through It's well understood It's up for debate this second chance But I'm pleading now Just one more chance Chorus: And I know you need time to think so baby, I will sit and wait for you Verse 2: I know I did wrong But you still love me I know your eyes linger So just look at me I'll prove all my worth Because we're meant to be I'll never give up on you so don't give up me Chorus Coda Chorus And even if it takes ten thousand years baby, I will sit and wait for you
