Delirium 04:56
Coming like a freight train down the sidewalk I know When youre feeling invincible I try to make em go I know you told me once I know you told me I know Feeling like the voltage can’t contain me right now Felling like the moment can’t sustain me right now I know delirium — delirium I don’t even want to think that it’s broken I dont even need to think that it’s going I dont even want to think Feeling like a cigarette that’s lit up and rolled Falling like an avalanche It’s coming let’s go I know you told me once I know you told me I know Static in my fingers making hair rise right now Feeling like my wingspan’s got no limits right now I know delirium — delirium You know the wounds have taken they’re toll You know I won’t get right til I’m grown

Catastrophe 04:36
Walk around make sure to take one Passing quickly through the window anyone Walk and keep a low one See an opening and overrun Three ideas in a row We build a catastrophe We don’t know who where we are It’s only a fantasy We don’t know who where we are I won’t tell you Stumble softly out of insight Get away free so they don’t recognize On the outs you got a beehive Take a breather on the other side Three ideas in a row We build a catastrophe We don’t know who where we are It’s only a fantasy How come this is taking so long I just need an opening quickly to overrun, overrun

Run 04:46
I want a ribcage open on the outside I want a backdoor locked down holding my mind I want a suitcase first thing folded inside I want an airplane night train trailing behind I wanted to run I wanted to run I’m telling you everyone does too I’m telling you everyone runs too I want to pack it all up and light it on fire I want to picture it squared up between my eyes I want to fold up shutting it down and take five I want to lash out scrambling out of my spine I wanted to run I wanted to run I’m telling you everyone does too I’m telling you everyone runs too

Danson 02:39
Feeling it coming through the floor Sneaking on underneath the soles of my shoes And then I won’t let it reach into the rest of me Cuz I don’t know Watch it go Thinking bout maybe loosening Seeing my kneecap move just a little bit But wait I can’t decide if I should move my arms Cuz I don’t know, let me count one two Can’t you make it stop Dancing, dancing, dancing, why aren't you Dancing, dancing, dancing Dancing, dancing, dancing, why aren't you Dancing, dancing, dancing Look it's Ted Danson, Danson, Danson So why aren't you dancing, dancing Wait Ted Danson, Danson, Danson Why aren't you dancing, dancing, dancing Look it's Ted Danson, Danson, Danson So why aren't you dancing, dancing

Wide Open 05:08
Why don’t we play music at the boathouse We can meet beneath the silver light Glad we weren’t finding the pagoda We can save it for another time Noticing that things have gotten stranger Sitting underneath the maple trees I’m confused and I run back And i make some broken glass While there’s someone in the living room And I’m talking to myself Isolated in a cell And I’m worried that ill never follow through And I can verbalize But I Don't believe myself Tonight, I’m neutralized Because we go and I know That every thing is wide open

"Every individual biography is an episode within the history of society, which both precedes and survives it. Society was there before the individual was born and it will be there after he has died. What is more, it is within society, and as a result of social processes, that the individual becomes a person, that he attains and holds onto an identity, and that he carries out the various projects that constitute his life. Man cannot exist apart from society.” —Peter Berger, The Sacred Canopy "In spite of all our 'modernity,' most of our sentiments are “nothing else but organized traditions; our thoughts nothing else but reminiscences, conscious and unconscious,” while in our actions we are largely executive officers, carrying out the acts passed by a wise legislation of many years ago. We dare not neglect any part of this great intellectual bequest but at a serious risk and peril to ourselves.” —Solomon Schechter, The Charter of the Seminary “… there is a Catskill eagle in some souls that can alike dive down into the blackest gorges, and soar out of them again and become invisible in the sunny spaces. And even if he forever flies within the gorge, that gorge is in the mountains” —Melville, Moby Dick "Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul; whenever I find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing up the rear of every funeral I meet… I account it high time to get to sea as soon as I can. This is my substitute for pistol and ball. With a philosophical flourish Cato throws himself upon his sword; I quietly take to the ship. There is nothing surprising in this. If they but knew it, almost all men in their degree... cherish very nearly the same feelings towards the ocean with me.” —Melville, Moby Dick “… there is a Catskill eagle in some souls that can alike dive down into the blackest gorges, and soar out of them again and become invisible in the sunny spaces. And even if he forever flies within the gorge, that gorge is in the mountains” —Melville, Moby Dick
