1.	Tang 02:52	lyrics
My eyes alight upon semi-permeable skin in a lovely diary. I'm trying to find New York in her eyes. Washing down my skin and my sins in a foam container, lifted up by pot smoke, cupped inside a lemon vial. I've got more to say, don't leave me alone. I'm sore but sure today that I'll always measure you in rags. Cold shore breathing In 'N Out on the banks of a dark Pacific wave. Cut up sleeping in the dank basement of an old American store where they found the bones. At the age of eighteen in a national park, the bear took him in both paws and lay him down. Kaleidoscopic in the back of my mind, we both started walking home. We both smelled just like before, the piercing tang of petrichor.
2.	Big Man 02:42	lyrics
There's a big man coming down the tunnel to bash my head in with a crowbar. I could delay it for a second, but it's all I'm sure of. "You've got to make it while you've got the power to," he's growling at me in the mirror, "never let your fear go." I won't leave it but it might leave me if I found something more complete but then I'd find a way to be more scared than ever. The frightened strands of thread hanging from my sweater are calling out: "one day you're gonna lose your head." They're telling me that someone's always coming 'round the bend to break your body by your own hand and to prove you haven't gotten away. I won't leave them but they might leave me if they think that I'm too conceited but I know they know I'm not that way, whatever. I'm not a big man but maybe I am. I am a big man but I'm not that big, man.
