1. Criticism As Inspiration

I saw in your bedroom, the drawers had been emptied. Looking for answers but you won't admit it now. You don't need a reason, that's what you tell me but I still don't buy it. You drink yourself silly night after night.

It makes me feel so good to always tell you when you're wrong. The big man that I am to always have to put you down, put you down.

Then there's your girlfriend, she opens her legs and gives your life meaning. Is that what you love her for? The angel is always looking down, he's perfect without frown, the bully always wins.

It makes me feel so good to always tell you when you're wrong. The big man that I am to always have to put you down, put you down.

It makes me feel so good to always tell you when you're wrong. The big man that I am to always have to put you down. It makes we look so good to always put you in your place. I can write it in a song but never say it to your face, to your face.

2. I Am Always The One Who Calls

Satellites mediate for us the days events through fiber optics. I hope we can change the saying.

I wouldn't mind but you are my only hope. I wouldn't mind but you are my only hope. Clear as a bell are the short breaths that you take when you're distracted. Same as the way that you roll your eyes when I've asked too many stupid questions.

My faith in zeroes and ones to host our romance, rests on hope you gave that I've some claim to your heart.

I wouldn't mind but you are my only hope. I wouldn't mind but you are my only hope. Clear as a bell are the short breaths that you take when you're distracted. Same as the way that you roll your eyes when I've asked too many questions. I will call you in three weeks, maybe then you'll have some more to say.

3. Invention

Crazy people know the special place to go when the pressure is on. Neurons re-align 'til the feeling is fine or the trouble is gone. They're in the business of inventing saviours.

There's always trouble so tell yourself again that help is on the way and safety abounds, that safety abounds.

When you need some kind of guarantee that you're protected you start to trust the things that deeper comfort brings before you've checked it. You might be waiting for a long time.

There's always trouble so tell yourself again that help is on the way and safety abounds, that safety abounds, that safety abounds, that safety abounds.

4. Letter From A Concerned Follower

It's weird to think of all the things that have not been keeping up with the times. It's ten o' clock, the sun has now just begun to set the western hills on fire.

I hear that you don't change. And how do you expect to keep up with the trends? You won't survive the information age unless you plan to change the truth to accommodate the brilliance of men, the brilliance of men.

Some folks think we're better now. Social evolutions new synthetic will will keep us on a straighter path, 'cause better men use brand new math with no wrong answers. I'm just a little bit worried. Do you have some sort of plan? Have you been finally defeated by the cunning of these fully evolved men?

I hear that you don't change. And how do you expect to keep up with the trends? You won't survive the information age unless you plan to change the truth to accomodate the brilliance of men, yeah , the brilliance of men.

5. Be Thou My Vision

Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart.
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art.
Thou my best thought, by day or by night, waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.
Riches I heed not, nor man's empty praise, Thou my inheritance, now and always.
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart, High King of heaven, my Treasure Thou art.
High King of heaven, my Treasure Thou art.
