1.	Peacocks 03:14	lyrics
At first I thought you were a terrible fop but soon I found how you could effortlessly make my heart stop miss a beat it wasn’t what you did or said splendidicity electricity in the air your sunflower eyes disguised an inner demise and left me none the wiser, stood right by ya bedazzled by an enameled façade eloquence of tongue, colours got me strung your sunflower eyes – so wise clad with mist that guised the lies that you told yourself sailing on highs, my feet, my head, my thighs – reduced to butter my lips a flutter of mutters, a fumbling, mumbling tumbling fool I remember me I remember you Icarus, trying to sail the skies you took me by the soul and filled it with sighs we took each other in – spreading ourselves thin, all the along the undertow was hubris derived when you keep saying you’ll fall – one days you’re gonna crash and the time that we spent in the decent slowly it bend our forms together like Tori and her leather There are infinite ways of sliding on that downward spiral sometimes tryin’a save another will send you right down that highway to indifference poof all the colours are gone and try as you may, no rhymes are born, no songs The volcanic you is set on low-flame back-burner Love has everything to do with it, my mama Tina Turner
2.	Bells of Grey Crystal 03:33	lyrics
Bells of gray crystal Break on each bough-- The swans' breath will mist all The cold airs now. Like tall pagodas Two people go, Trail their long codas Of talk through the snow. Lonely are these And lonely and I .... The clouds, gray Chinese geese Sleek through the sky.
3.	A Jelly Fish 05:12	lyrics
Visible, invisible, A fluctuating charm, An amber-colored amethyst Inhabits it; your arm Approaches, and It opens and It closes; You have meant To catch it, And it shrivels; You abandon Your intent— It opens, and it Closes and you Reach for it— The blue Surrounding it Grows cloudy, and It floats away From you.
