Cherry Cloud 04:41
I shook it out into the cherry cloud I never noticed how you said my name I'm growing round, I'm never lonely now but when I go lay down my head is numb my head is numb I never wanna go home no how I'm slowing down, filling out, growing sound for no one new I'm so upset and filled with deep regret I should have never let it go so far and now, Thailand, the temples in the sand I'm breathing easy standing far from pain far from pain I never wanna go home no how I'm slowing down, filling out, growing sound for no one new I shook it out into the cherry cloud I never noticed how you said my name I'm growing round, I'm never lonely now but when I go lay down my head is numb my head is numb I never wanna go home no how I'm slowing down, filling out, growing sound for no one new I never wanna go home no how I'm slowing down, filling out, growing sound for no one new

Feedback my head towing harmonicity the index multiplies the wave which multiplies the frequency My father's dead so I sleep through Father's Day I see the light inside my dreams and it is blinding me I see the light inside my dreams Feedback my brain I gotta be less serious I dungeon master for my friends what kinda man could I be My hand bleeds red and I've been trailing it everywhere I see the light inside my dreams and it is blinding me I know it's just a dream

Death Star 05:47
LBJ in Johnson City Train meet pass As we track the main line My eyes roll back The captains colliding My president is a reptilian mutant Won't you come with me everywhere I go It's alright either way guess I'm just in a daze My president is a reptilian mutant My president is a reptilian mutant My president is a reptilian mutant Won't you come with me everywhere I go It's alright either way guess I'm just in a daze From the garden to the death star I just can't take it anymore Shai Hulud swallowed my bedroom God damn I'm so alone I fell into a regal wagon My whole life is a lie Drink the water melt your eyes out Now you're alive From the garden to the death star I just can't take it anymore So tend your garden Say your prayers now And hold on to your life

Ghostseed 05:57
I believe in ghosts Ghosts believe in me I'm the three of wands To soothe the shadow king Time goes fast Time moves fast Time goes fast Like a flash I believe in ghosts Who row the shallow seas Yeah I believe in ghosts and ghosts believe in me Cuz time goes fast Time moves fast Time goes fast Like a flash

Disintegrator, I don't know what's right from wrong Can't you help me relieve myself Disintegrator, I don't know what I can do But I'm sure there's nobody else Disintegrator, your legs are floating in the air and your head has spiraled to nowhere Disintegrator, I don't know what's right from wrong So now I am leaving you Sell me off a big hole coffin reach me cuz I love you Oh, we do Shut your mouth I'm gushing out Blood in bed I'm coming back man Disintegrator, do you feel love in your heart and does your body play tricks on you Disintegrator, I'm a flat suburban sky My whole breadth could span your eastern wall Disintegrator, the man just forged my mind on screen Do you think you could kill such a thing Disintegrator, I don't know what's right from wrong So now I am leaving you Sell me off a big hole coffin reach me cuz I love you Oh, we do Shut your mouth I'm gushing out Blood in bed I'm not coming back home No where close but reach me cuz I love you Oh, we do Shut your mouth I'm gushing out Blood in bed I'm not coming back home

You can use your voice You can use the voice you have You're no fun to be around you're just a clown in the sound you're not holding no one down but you're not helping no one out you are all alone you just have her and your ghost You were lost at seventeen now you're lost at twenty three You're no fun to be around you're just a clown in the sound you're not holding no one down but you're not helping no one out Dream a little dream of me Stock the shelves in the pantry You're just a ghost without a house without a plan to make a sound You're not holding no one down but you're not helping no one out You are all alone You just have her and your phone Seal the curtains come to me Loving me will set you free You're no fun to be around you're just a clown in the sound you're not holding no one down but you're not helping no one out

Help me out I want to understand Anchored well above our needs Winter is going green Help me out why am I so afraid of you You're baby blue Help me out I'm fading in the shade Oh the time You're losing a winning game Help me out why am I so afraid of you You're baby blue Help me out I want to understand disappearing Soon there'll be nothing here Help me out why am I so afraid of you You're baby blue Help me out I want to feel your pain In the end froze bodies smash the same

Baby boy, are you feeling alright tonight Why does your hate envelope your small life Can't you rest your eyes I don't have the time Baby girl, I'm alright how are you today Bitterly, I don't know what to say Can't you rest your eyes I don't have the time Pantomime, ugly wide eyed and fast asleep Hazy ways to the dreams concrete Dampen up your guise Drift into my mind Cuz I don't have the time I don't have the time And you are doing fine But I don't have the time Mother dear, do you hear the wash out of my fear And does your heart have to be so sincere Let me keep my eyes I don't have the time I don't have the time I don't have the time You are doing fine But I don't have the time

about

Hey y'all...
I made this album throughout my 20's while I was playing with other bands that maintained most of my focus. Until recently, I never felt like I had the time or confidence to bring this project of my own into fruition. A few friends made it clear that I should put these songs out so I took my time and made something I feel good about. I plan to keep making music in this vein for as long as it stays flowing and fun. Shows coming soon.

Thanks a lot,
Matt Wentz
