Four Story Tantrum
The pressure builds, you buy a gift
You're hoping that your dread will lift
It glitters on her like a glass
You shudder as it comes to pass
Apologize to Luce and Lil'
Converse with Ed, a drive with Jill
Your friends confine you in their worlds
One by one, a string of pearls
Confuse you say, this isn't me
You hover in their unity
Ashamed, you slowly lose your grasp
Release the links, undo the clasp
The skin that drips down from the tree
And peels back slowly from your knee
Erupts into your lung and heart
You laugh and laughing, fall apart
Laugh an

Oud En Afgedankt
Ik loop op de ruïne van mijn gevoel voor jou
Wat nu alleen nog puin is was ooit een groot gebouw
En zelfs de fundamenten van wat hier heeft gestaan
Zijn na wat mooie lentes al min of meer vergaan
Zo verloren we de kamers van ons eigen luchtkasteel
Zelf gesloopt met grote hamers en nu is er niets meer heel
Is dit het huis waar we kusten waar we feestten en rustten
Is dit de plek waar we vreeën en zoveel mooie dingen deden
Ik mis het trapje naar de sterren en de grote open haard
Het huis van onze liefde is onbewoonbaar verklaard
