Gotta risk it for the biscuit
Kind of feeling something rash
Gotta fix it before I miss it
Can’t make this part of the past
Trying to mix this as I lose wits
Feeling like I’m spewing trash
Make a long list take a long sit
Does it matter, am I mad?
More than I’ll ever know
More than I’ll ever be
More than you’ll ever show
More than I’ll ever see
Gotta trick this, jump the sickness
Am I doing something bad?
Gotta flick this, ask a witness
How long will addiction last?
Gotta stick this, land on my wrist
Bones are feeling like they’re glass
Gotta kiss it, gonna miss it
How much longer til I pass
More than I’ll ever know
More than I’ll ever be
More than you’ll ever show
More than I’ll ever see
More than I’ll ever say
More than I’ll ever hear
More than you’ll give today
More than I’ll lose this year

You take the curtain down
Tell me I should be proud
That I was even here
In the hall
Watching the ordained
Take our ears
You make me laugh
The way you laud
The same thing for a thousand years
Do you think the last thing had a nice past ring
I can't tell
I solely want to please you
You tear the curtain up
Ask me hey what's up
I can't answer fast
So make it last
You've taken all the rings from my hands
There was a way past it all

Feel the rhythm of my voice
Fill the space when I’m catching my breath
Heaving my chest
In a moment
You know how
to pull me close
And I’ll press against your muscle
Fit into your puzzle
There’s nothing but sweetness in the comedown
Compliments, lovely sentiments
All the things we might get to do
Talking bout the time we might get to lose
But you’ve got an early morning
And I’ve got work
And a life of my own
But I’ll call
You’ll text
A kiss at the door
I’ll wish you the best
It’s a shame that our conversation
Flowed so well
that you knew the right place on my neck to touch
You knew how to push me
Right to the edge and
Back down to center
And I know I’ve got your number
But that don’t mean much
All I’ve got is your name
And the chance at another
Close encounter when I’m back in town
Though we know it won’t go any further than that

A beam of sunlight hits my eye at 9 a.m.
I lay around in bed and check out Instagram
It's time for Constellation Collective again
We place the order
Let's go outside, I wanna feel the wind blow
Go for a ride, and we can roll the windows down
A chicken biscuit, take-away-the-pickles
Breakfast sandwich
On a Saturday morning
On a Saturday morning, yeah
Down the stairs, past the dog that always barks
We grab our food and go sit in the park
They never give us napkins
On a Saturday morning
Let's go outside, I wanna feel the wind blow
Go for a ride, and we can roll the windows down
A chicken biscuit, take-away-the-pickles
Breakfast sandwich
On a Saturday morning
On a Saturday morning, yeah

It’s been a
Long day of nothin’ to do
Why don’t We
Split a biscuit, just we two
While you’re
Keepin’ company with thoughts you’ve acrewed
Murder and
Death’s just too much for you
You’ll find cold comfort in the nighttime
Just wait until they’re are all mine
Hang up, drownin’ the day
You think
You’re ready to be runnin’ away
After the
Sharks all have had-a their way
In the
Sea’s currents you’re layin’ to sway
You’ll find cold comfort in the nighttime
Just wait until your dreams are all mine
Nighttime brings you comfort
Nighttime brings you pain
Nighttime brings you shelter, honey
Nighttime brings you pain
(Harmonica solo)
You’ll find cold comfort in the nighttime
Just wait until your dreams are all mine
Nighttime brings you comfort
Nighttime brings you pain
Nighttime brings you shelter, honey
Nighttime brings you pain
The sea
Fades into black
and now it’s
Asphalt, cool in the rain
And you’re
Laid out, flat on your back
With a
Strange feelin’ creepin’ your brain

CHORUS:
You have chosen the antique of power
Prepare for a deadly quest
Time to see if you have what it takes
First you must go to the empire
Find the nearest outpost to you now
Don't back down
Once there hack into their system
Find the location of the lost piece
The missing key
The key will come with coordinates
Of the supreme treasure you desire
Must acquire
With the missing piece in your grasp
You'll be able to use the antique
Of power you seek
"The nearest empire outpost is on Ganymede
How will we enter
With stealth or with force"

Just a farmbird sleepin' in the hay
Since an egg you dreamt of what’s today
When the sun crests, you’ll catch a northbound ride
On the bus you’ll be running your tight five
The city’s cold, so keep your feathers rolled
They’ll love your set, you’ll have them dyin' I bet
You’ll need to eat so pack a bag of seed
Are you leavin'
For the city
Will you tell them all my jokes
Are you thinkin'
Of includin'
My favorite line where you cross the road
Got your message, city crowds sound hard
Keep your beak up, we miss you on the farm
The city’s cold, so keep your feathers rolled
They’ll love you soon, just get up in another room
You need to eat and don’t forget to breathe
How ya livin'
In the city
Have you tried out all my jokes
Are you changin'
Or excludin'
My favorite line where you cross the road
You're out on your own
You're out on your own
You're out on your own
You're out on your own
The city’s cold, your mother’s growin' old
Your empty nest, is here if you need a rest
I need to eat and not forget to breathe
