Nightingale 06:07
Keep track of me I'm chasing stars where I can barely see them When they land they bleed I'm looking for the DNA that breeds them Self destructive patterns seem to catch on fire And your rootsy values will get sold to the buyer Give me Give me Give me Give me x2 Nightingale, Night Owl Nightingale, Night Owl Nightingale, Night Owl I will watch till either you or I fade I will watch till either you or I fade I will watch until either you or I fade Nightingale, Night Owl Nightingale, Night Owl Nightingale, Night Owl I will watch till either you or I fade I will watch till either you or I fade I will watch until either you or I fade

[No no news to break but I am standing on this stone and bleeding You took for granted all the things you knew that I was needing] Fool for a muse oh I could fall in love with anyone Wind for a sail but I will stay in love with only One only one with One only one Run river run oh I could sleep with sleep with anyone Curse that I can't shake but I will make my love to only One only one with One only one No no news to break but I am standing on this stone and bleeding You took for granted all the things you knew that I was needing And all her stories seem to whisper whisper break her heart I should have known I was meant to leave from the Start from the start the Start from the start Fool for a muse oh I could fall in love with anyone Wind for a sail but I will stay in love with only One only one with One only one Run river run oh I could sleep with sleep with anyone Curse that I can't shake but I will make my love to only One only one with One only one No no news to break but I am standing on this stone and bleeding You took for granted all the things you knew that I was needing And all her stories seem to whisper whisper break her heart I should have known I was meant to leave from the Start from the start the Start from the start Fool for a muse Oh I could fall in love with anyone

Well we've crossed ten states already On our east to west coast cruise But my mind's in New York City Telling you what've we got to lose Things are good Sure wish they could be better And I know I shouldn't go there But hey we just did Greed I tried to lose you in the East virginia woods Darlin' please forget about me I am trying to do some good And that rocky mountain coastline Makes us both feel so alright But I lost the last bit of my sex drive In some summer city night Yeah things are good Sure wish they could be better And I know I shouldn't go there But hey we just did Greed I tried to lose you in the East virginia woods Darlin' please forget about me I am trying to do some good And this loneliness feels steadier Than being close to you And I think I may be readier To see what she can do for you oh Greed come back come find me in the East virginia woods Darlin' Please forget about me I am trying to do some good some good some good x4 Please forget about me I am trying to do some good

Juice 03:03
Your juice on my feet Your meat on my meat Your mouth 'round my toes Your teeth at my clothes May sound so contagious but we both believe it's gone Sorry that I love like this Sorry that I love like this (Ohh da da....) What's yours and what's mine? Sorry that I love like this Sorry that I love like this Girl of measured mind Your gruff on my chin Your out on my in May sound sacrilegious but we both believe in God Too scared to begin Her loss and my win May sound so contagious but we both believe its gone Sorry that I love like this Sorry that I love like this What's yours and what's mine? Sorry that I love like this Sorry that I love like this Girl of measured mind X2 Your, your juice on my feet

When I saw all your red flags I saw them through rose colored glasses I had When I heard all your anger I mistook it for passion of a stranger When I heard all your cold sighs I took it for breath in my ear on a cool night La de di da da di da da da da la de di da da di da da da da I held my hand up high As you waved goodbye I stooped deep and low (deep and low) To where our shadows grow I'll always love you so But this you already know Where did it go when you traveled far? Where did it go when you fell so hard? Where did it go when you I held my hand up high As you waved goodbye I stooped deep and low (deep and low) To where our shadows grow I'll always love you so This you already Where did it go when you traveled far? Where did it go when you fell so hard? Where did it go when you x3 When the heartbreaks a sound is heard And who picks up the pieces is so absurd x3

Spent 01:53
I spent half of my life working I spent half of my life working all day I spent most of my life working I spent most of my life working all day I spent all of my life working (working) I spent all of my life working all day For your love x4 I spent half of my life paying I spent half of my life paying all day I spent most of my life paying I spent most of my life paying For your love x4 I spent

If I took half my guilt And put in lake It would flood the whole world And that's just half my guilt If I could hold your hand For just one minute more It'd take the weight of the world Off my shoulders and that just one one minute more But I will not claim that I know the solution I will allow myself to be surprised I will not beg and plead in the meantime Hope is a mirror in the sky Like a fresh wound Like a fresh wound every time x2 But I will not claim that I know the solution I will allow myself to be surprised I will not beg and plead in the meantime Hope is a mirror in the sky Like a fresh wound Like a fresh wound every time x2 Guilt, wash away these crimes Feed me too much wine Seek the soul that can deliver Guilt, rotten thing that drives You're what's left of the time That we spent together Ohh Oh Oh I took the rest of my guilt And put it in a safe It paid the debt of the world x3 la la la la la la Like a fresh wound Like a fresh wound every time x2

(Breathing, Birthing He's still Breathing, Birthing) I dropped another love baby before I left I'm starting a collection of children with bruises on their heads But I never knew the bruises would look so much like roses Seeing that they come and then they go I named them all by number because I forgot their names So let me explain... One's a well known legend Two, well I disposed him but 365 days of tears grows his grave Three was born five days the same as me and we grew up that way & Four taught me about beetles but we had to throw we had to throw yeah we had to throw him out at 22 Five kept switching boobs until I had none x4 Six was true Seven, transparent & Eight x4 Eight was born in fire, while his dad was still on drugs and he's still Breathing, birthing x2 He's still breathing Lord he's still breathing x4 [Repeat] He's still

Prune 03:04
Element of your plea What have I become Come again? You said I wept And my hands were all red Scrapes on both of my knees Too long in the sun You know I'm just a wreck And my face is all red Pepper greed in the middle of the night I am only tired I'm only filled with fright Do I feel empty, do I? Do I feel empty, do I? Do I feel empty like I feel? To you? x2 Mildly overwhelmed in every single way You say that I've got a lot to give By my hands they feel a mile away Pepper greed in the middle of the night I am only tired I'm only filled with fright Do I feel empty, do I? (Ooh, ooh) Do I feel empty, do I? (Ooh, ooh) Do I feel empty like I feel? To you? x2 Stains upon these sheets What else can I say? "You look better in your age", you said As your heart turns to grey As my heart turned to grey As our heart it turned to grey Do I feel empty, do I? Do I feel empty, do I? Do I feel empty like I feel? To you? x2

It's the end of my soul x6 You only love me when it's no trouble, trouble Trouble, trouble You only love me when it's no (trouble x8) You only love me when it's no You make love (x4) You make love look easy Seeds of your soul greet me But I sense danger When I'm in pain you're a stranger I need some safety Had too many loves overtake me When you say it's my job, To make myself feel better, Baby we're in trouble In the brooklyn streets and rubble And it's the end of my soul How much you don't care I can't control- Trouble x6 (End of my soul x6) You only love me when it's no (trouble x4)

(Boats) 01:41
Stay strange strange little girl Stay strange strange little girl Stay strange little girl There are too many people not rocking the boat in this world Stay wild wild little boy Stay wild wild little boy Stay wild little boy There are too many people playing it safe in this world (Wooo ah Wahh Ooh Ooh Wa Wooo ah) (Stay strange strange little girl Stay strange strange little girl Stay strange little girl There are too many people not rocking the boat in this world) There are too many people not rocking the boat in this world. Stay wild wild little boy Stay wild wild little boy Stay wild little boy There are too many people playing it safe in this world

about

Helioscope's aural journey dips you in the braided desert river and sun-dries you.. Getting lost is the fun part, and trekking through the antique jewelry boxes and murky atmospheric soundscapes on the way only leaves the deepest marks that don't rub off with sun, water or time.
