Lyrics:
A Fleeting glance was all it took
Pressed flowers, dried and perfect underfoot
Leave imprints in the mind and in the soot
And they deserve another look
And though they look right on the page
Sentimental value stems from older age
Filed away these memories will hold no weight
A lifetime catalogued in state
It's a dirty road we walk
Pressed flowers to the passer-by will talk
But how ironic, no words yielded in closed books
Take them out and take another look

Lyrics:
When you're new, and life unfurls,
You see the world is at your feet.
Another chance to take,
Another rule to break,
Another bond to make,
and friend to meet.
And when you grow, your vision shifts.
You see the world for what it is.
Another day,
Another way,
another opportunity to call it quits.
And as you age, your conviction wanes
And perspectives change of their own accord.
Another aspect of the same old information.
Another song played with the same old chords.
And when you're old, the garden's overgrown.
And you've been overthrown by something new.
A new disciple,
Another title,
Another cycle.

Lyrics:
Unaccustomed as she is to loneliness
She considers her love to be spent
Wondering when the feeling up and went
They may have broken lovers records
Now they're playing on repeat
Broadcasting distress cries to the city streets
Infrequent skips and jumps become relentless static
Overpowering the senses and conflating past and present tenses
Matte black shellac becomes the medium of silence between friends
As beneath his arm, she bends
Stunned, held beneath his thumb
Nowhere left to run. Tracks skip, played in low fidelity
Needles tear between her grooves, but the pitch is so skewed
Played at 33
The passage has been heard before
It's message went unheeded
So the path is lacking in originality
She insists on waiting for the end of the refrain
But she doesn't seem to notice that the track is queued up over and again
Grooves in her face grow deeper, gouged beneath his weight
But she's content to fester and decay within this miasmatic fat
Resigned to frame their present state as something of a triptych
And write her feelings off as far too cryptic
Stunned, held beneath his thumb
Nowhere left to run. Tracks skip, played in low fidelity
Needles tear between her grooves, but the pitch is so skewed
Played at 33

Lyrics:
One day a man who couldn't hear them shooed the songbirds from the trees
One day a priest with no religion shunned his flock to wear his fleece
And in one day everything had changed
The Earth perspired, filled the cracking elevation
Until it joined another stream
In time, the streams became a river
And the river met the sea
Great desperation makes sweeter the call of the dice
And blind indignation breeds hatred between you and I
And one man couldn't change a thing
So one million men didn't change a thing
