For My Child: You are the lynchpin to this entire operation You are the oxytocin to my tears The skeleton that holds every single one of my fears Lets try it on then play catch in the yard One day you'll grow up to lose your mind Latch the fence in the meantime so it doesn't stray far Smile like you mean it Let the laughter pull your face apart Drag the pieces in like a cat at the doorstep Shake Up: Sometimes I feel like one of those white boys on tv So I shoot for the stars even if I land in a puddle And I guess my brain isn't quite plugged in yet So I keep dodging questions and mountains of you Children afraid Watch out I've got a score to settle with some bullet points and thumb tacks And a whole wide world waiting for a response Somebody tell me what would happen if you shook a jar of fools Would they just crumble? Or just grumble? Children afraid Watch out

Fear Of 03:59
(Fear of fear I got it fear of fear of fear i got it got it) (This is not healthy behavior for a whale) I am not outside today Focus on the happy place between my eyes Feed me sun and ventilation bills I'm the only window with its lights still on And I will wave till I am blown away I am hiding from the webs That wept at my doorstep Don't blow me down I can stay as long as straw breaks bone And I will wave till I am blown away I am everything I am dust in the wind
3.
Sweat and dust and blood everywhere You have come now you are two Now who are you Mismatched doors will flutter The curtains will call to the wild And the safe will crack your skull open You are not me you are not my friend This lonely dog will catcall to the wind I should have known I should have known The bottom of your foot is a God against my stone face
4.
I can see I can breathe for the first time Your ears are ringing Answer so I can wrestle with your voice Who has broken your angel wings? No sympathy for the devil Who is lonely six miles underground? Thrown away I'll be the dirt I'll keep you warm

Bustle 04:05
Running to catch a train While feet are obsolete Scream to feed the need To blow off steam And chug along I'm still growing But I'm not getting any taller I need closure I want to know what time it is Just keep going Just keep on going Downtown's not funny anymore If I stay here Don't say you didn't warn me I can sleep as much as I can handle I'll see where it takes me I can't breathe Lets bustle on out of here Just keep going Just keep on going Downtown's not funny anymore Hello You must be hanging on the side We've lost the conductor too We've gone off the rails
