1.	Ginseng 02:54	lyrics	buy track
Is the ginseng enough do you taste it on your tongue do you feel yourself coming undone Do your lips begin to smack does your skin begin to crack do you feel the muscles tear in your back Do you feel so well do you miss their wit are you trying to avoid or are you trying to commit Are you comforted by a sweeping voice that drowns your soul by turning up the noise It was once there now it’s a thing of the past It was once in your hands but you gave it back Are you strangled by the embers of a rope that once tethered but you broke free of Do you sleep at night anymore or are you terrorized by what you had before It was once there now it’s a thing of the past It was once in your hands but you gave it back Do you catch yourself repeating again do you catch yourself living in the wind Did you leave on the terms that you need or did you miss represent everything Do you feel content living apart is there room on your canvas for some abstract art Is the ginseng enough do you taste it on your tongue do you feel yourself coming undone
2.	The Hills 03:48	lyrics	buy track
Psychic readings on the wall Tell me you’re not here anymore Like the glow of the street lamp at night Not too loud but hard to find You’re in my head but not in my dreams You’re in the story but not in this scene Encompassing all the air without doing anything Telling stories that make me cry Using words that I can’t define You’re like a painter painting with no eyes But you're best in show always first prize You’re in my head but not in my dreams You’re in the story but not in this scene Encompassing all the air without doing anything An enigma I can’t understand Dialect I can’t comprehend Your omnipresent so out of reach And I would do anything Like a rusted man on rustic stilts You’re hidden away out in the Hills And I would come invade your space But you choose to stay hidden away You’re in my head but not in my dreams You’re in the story but not in this scene Encompassing all the air without doing anything
3.	Charade 03:09	lyrics	buy track
Wear your nightclothes outside Where you know you’re not coming home tonight Find your prince find you a man Wear your heels as high as you can Cover your lips up with paint Make your eyes sparkle like rain Generous friend is how you color yourself Here for you and for no one else In a dimly lit corner where you hide your pain In this dark hallway voices calling your name Count the tracks on your arm Fall into their’s and feel warm A delicate balance of whiskey and cigs The homesick feeling of a strangers kiss In a dimly lit corner where you hide your pain In this dark hallway voices calling your name In this charade where you’re hiding face In this feast of self-respect are you watching your weight Paint the pillow case with your face Walk home with this bitter taste Puffy cheeks fade your masquerade Begs the question are you craving love or hate In a dimly lit corner where you hide your pain In this dark hallway voices calling your name In this charade where you’re hiding face In this feast of self-respect are you watching your weight
4.	White Noise 05:00	lyrics	buy track
Crucify my lullaby and lay my little head down Trying to get some sleep but my head keeps racing around How can I rest how can I sleep Knowing you're out there but you're not with me There's a glow of light that seeps through my window I've tried to block it out but the curtains never close A hole that leads to a world beyond my walls A universe where you exist but I can never call How can I rest how can I sleep Knowing you're out there but you're not with me Do you feel me calling can you hear my voice Is there a medium or is it all just white noise The taste of a cheap scotch littered throughout my tongue The smoke from your lips shotgunned right into my lungs
5.	Judy 03:05	lyrics	buy track
Judy was a cool kid She had a lot of friends She never look down on anyone You could always depend Judy was a lover And Judy was my friend Judy dropped out of high school Because Judy had a kid What kind of life will Judy live It's been forever since I've talked to my friend Judy still takes emails She still takes phone calls But Judy doesn't get out much Or ever at all And I miss the days when Judy was around And I miss seeing her and I miss hanging out Judy was a warm hearted A very kind person Judy is living the kind of life I don't know how to live Judy was my friend I wish we would talk from time to time And Judy's life has changed But she's still warm hearted and kind
6.	Vivid Dreams 02:07	lyrics	buy track
I hate my writing and I can’t stand my voice It’s all the same story with a different word choice I can't dream up an image or a tale My gears are spinning my thoughts all been derailed Sprinkle me with vivid dreams Beat me up just to make me think I’ve yet to give up but I’m so close to the edge Give me a story or just an image Televised homicide hatred and bigoted lies Fake news is the art of itself but I’ve yet to be surprised There is a civil war going on behind my eyes Stories start to emerge but then they all die Sprinkle me with vivid dreams Beat me up just to make me think I’ve yet to give up but I’m so close to the edge Give me a story or just an image
