1.	Pathological Doubt 05:43	lyrics	buy track
I must have a little psychopathic streak but you're the first man that I've seen like a human being focused on the breath the volume and the flesh indubitable real i loved you like my own i loved your every bone except the one I don't the one that won't believe that you have got my soul and they say don't trust her if she cries they can turn it on and off they say don't trust her if she cries they can turn it on and off don't trust her if she cries but i am not a liar, I'm just sick and tired of your pathological doubt and I am sick and tired of being told I'm a liar but you're something I can't go without but it's so hard to leave cause I know what it's like I breathe just like you breathe your mind's a lot like mine but I refuse to be part of this polyamory between you and me and your distrust and your fear and my distrust and my fear and they say don't trust her if she cries they can turn it on and off but no matter how hard i try i just can't seem to turn it off don't trust her if she cries but i am not a liar, I'm just sick and tired of your pathological doubt and I am sick and tired of being told I'm a liar but you're something I can't go without that i can't go without for now

we are no beautiful children we are ridden with fear and we'd be a field day for freud but last night, like all the beautiful children have done for over 50 years we gave our brains to the void and I- I am lost in my own way I have lost my true self it's so hard to find the words and it's so hard to find the words and i'm so painfully disconnected I call my skin a border I lay claim to my bones and wait patiently for the next life always asking for more than the everything that's my home and so today my spine is the bay bridge 25 vertebrae and a million eyes on the hill but though the movement's infernal the world is quiet from Bernal the world is completely still mm and it's so hard to find the words... no beautiful children we are ridden with fear and we'd be a field day for freud but I am lost in my own way I have lost my true self it's so hard to find the words
3.	Perfect In Theory 04:39	lyrics	buy track
you got your hand on my arm playing a nocturne on my palm as the pianist plays on we're dissonant unisons, both a little off both trying to make right from two wrongs but we're perfect in theory, we're twelve tones apart the difference is so slight, so small you can barely hear it at all and if I can slow down your fall things will be still things will be calm if I can slow down your fall things will be still things will be calm but not for long but something's off! And now every single light in the night sky could be another eye and you're convinced that i'm a liar! and everything's a sign that there's something in the darkness we huddle in your apartment so please let me in i swear i didn't come here to kill you am i the girl you're terrified of? sitting here crying on this tenderloin sidewalk we're perfect in theory; we're twelve tones apart the difference is so slight, so small... we're six beating strings and we're two beating hearts the difference is so so small but if we keep beating like this we'll end up eating our fists until the dampers finally fall and when they finally fall things will be still things will be calm.. we're perfect in theory; we're twelve tones apart we're perfect in theory; we're twelve tones apart we're perfect in theory...
4.	The End of the Tempest 05:06	lyrics	buy track
morning: how many more of these mornings will we get to keep? it's pouring and the air is as warm as a warning but in my dream i see you with me, giving mouthfuls of sound to the kids and the crowds as they drift down market street living in a house full of windows and pianos darling it would be so sweet so just don't let them take you away just don't let them take you away and the air is heavy now who'll play me the end of the Tempest slow like only you know how? Excerpt from beethoven sonata in D minor 3rd mvmt. so just don't let them take you away just don't let them take you away
