1000 Years 01:59
1000 years ago I’m already dead or my second life had just started my mother’s playing Bunco up above and father might as well be as well I know I don’t have time I’ve got to go where my love lies there are no walls as the crow flies so if I was born back then I’d already be flying could this be my second life

Angelica 07:12
al despertar puede haber un leve zumbido en tus oidos you look up in the sky see a plane going by people in the seats all different kinds all added up must weigh a ton but gravity doesn’t care who they are, what they’ve done all flying safe now say everyone gets pushed out the plane except people like you all popping around face covered in blood would you still say to me what a beautiful day I talked with Angelica we agreed it won’t be the same but the future’s brightness always starts from here

we were waking up as the sun went down pockets empty, paid the Federales off who what where when and why I didn’t know doing everything I can so that I don't I was the first to see the driver lose control we bake our bodies in the sand as a ritual thread through a needle’s eye tailored to fit to want for nothing and ask is this all there is? sky is guard and sun is prisoner paint me in the corner and lock the key just promise from time to time you’ll think of me and every day that passes priced high or free consider they’re all signed, best wishes a gift from me they’re all gifts from me sky is guard and sun is prisoner I don’t know why I go anywhere I don’t know why I deserve anything

Rainbow Baby 05:46
the morning came as many have come met in the middle of a six-week run 10 years divided but never apart maybe a fire should finally come of the spark a year had passed us with nothing changed some plants had died in the neighborhood heat wave it wasn’t odd for her to be late but for some reason this didn’t feel the same a little window, inside a cross we couldn’t wait to tell everyone yeah it was early but we didn’t care who’s feeling heavy when you’re lighter than air? pass the baton we carry from who we were to who we will be are we running or waiting? I was an immediate nutritionist we upped our proteins and antioxidants soaked in magnesium, tried to relax tried not to say names but we weren’t good at that Chris mailed his book on what to expect they were on their first and we were next those first two weeks felt just like a dream painting the future as if from memory it was a Tuesday, store was on strike came back to see the plants coming back to life I found her kneeling, showed me some blood wasn’t a lot but it must’ve been enough the doctor said it was chromosomal tears in the drive-through before we came home they never tell you, she’ll blame herself it’s powerlessness I’ve never felt myself pass the baton we carry from who we were to who we will be we're waiting for our rainbow baby waiting for our rainbow baby we're waiting for our rainbow baby

am I really shuffling the deck? please tell me how the Grim Reaper is good again? how many times can I say I’m doing fine and not think our cuckoo clock is just as sane there are as many stars as worries aim me at the Little Dipper cuz they’ve been worried about me am I really taking each step? you touch my face telling me the Fool is one of the best to get

Rachel takes a bath draws a funny face in the fogged-up glass she reads the empty can the Dead Sea was the bath salt’s homeland 120,000 years ago it was dried up and left for dead so is this its second life? ooooo I hope so looming from the past the last five things she said after they met up last questions never-asked is the earth’s lowest point there or where I am? why can’t I make it right? how long is this stupid night? can I have a second life? can I have a second life? ooooo I don’t know pain has got to pass one drop of water can break the dam 120,000 years from now I’m a crystal of salt on the sand

I found myself in the same place I always find myself to be two eyes staring back at me while the ground is all my two eyes can see the dents in the wood from the broken staple gun I was framed the more I love you the more I hope your love doesn’t go away
8.
5 years / I’ve stared at my phone / hoping with each / robo / caller it might / be you I feel / so dumb each day / all day cause they / just call / so much and I / pick up I wish / I’d learn we said / too ma- ny things / that shook / the earth prepared / we weren’t so I’m not / trying to gaslight / when I say that we / were both / to blame is that / OK? I’ve rehearsed this too many times now I’ve been so alone like I’m living in a lighthouse picture frames are rearranging themselves as if they might be alive now so many things that I wouldn’t mind now how you used to love me so much you’d have a cry now and then earthquake numbers on the rise now again but I don’t wanna wait for the big one to hit for me to call you so if I do will you pick up?

100 Years 03:29
100 years ago just think of how hard it was if you were living in the next town felt like an ocean in between the days, the weeks, the months, the years to say hello or goodbye much less to apologize how many died in the crossing well I don’t live very far if you want want to talk if they could only see the things that we can do now the judgement they would pass down serving drinks by my guillotining well here I am trying to cross the water keys in my hand, 20 minute drive over and all I can do is try to believe they didn’t die for nothing cuz I don’t live very far if you want want to talk

The Heist 03:11
I was staring at you eating saltines when I realized if we make it to tomorrow then we’ve pulled off our greatest heist yet it’s seven weeks and one day since the new job started last time we got that far we were busted by the exit we poured over blueprints and argued timetables we agreed we were mad just because we weren’t able to pull it off it’s the second life we’ve tried to steal from the angels now we’re back here grinning while we know we may have to try again maybe after 12 weeks we can both stop pretending and maybe 40 we’ll be watching a miracle sleeping and then it’s 10 years helping it build a volcano and then it’s 17 coming home high after curfew and it would be so nice I guess that’s only if we can get to tomorrow once we’re there we’ll be ok knowing we may have to try again
