Babel 01:12
Polarized isolation Convenient condemnation How do your data account for the pain? How do we translate when our words are the same?
2.
Both/Neither 03:27
I am the molecules I try to hide I am the advantage I gain by failing I am the effort to be who I am inside I am the tension of presumptions derailing I am the dissonance implied I am the feeling of perception jailing Feeling like both, feeling like neither Feeling like both, feeling like neither I am repulsion from wary poles I am displaced among binaries I am too much, I am deficient I only know myself contrary Feeling like both, feeling like neither Feeling like both, feeling like neither Feeling like both, feeling like neither Feeling like both, feeling like neither I don't want to change my body I don't want it to be the same This is not a problem with me I want to change the way you perceive I need to change the way you perceive You need to change the way you perceive

If I Must 02:58
Your love cannot bind me The cage doesn't free Must I be lonely? If I must be lonely, I will at least be free.

Recuse 03:36
Ronie, won't you please come back to Minneapolis? I'm worried for you, and I miss you Ronie, I know you have it all under control But still I need to tell you -- baby, be safe I ask you why you choose to be subsumed By that destructive ruse, which you dispute: Why would I think I didn't do it, too? To stay is to choose Ronie, I painted my front door pink It's a sign that I'm making so you'll find your way back Ronie, I miss you. I know that you miss me, too. I ask you why you choose to be subsumed By that destructive ruse, which you dispute: Why would I think I didn't do it, too? To stay is to choose

The Flood 03:01
The flood can't cleanse the sinner The flood can't kill the sin It will trace the ways we've injured And all graces rescind One drop burned for progress Two drops burned for war A stream becomes a river The sea turns into storm The rabid wreck for profit The poor bear all the pain Power flees from justice And money hides the blame The flood will kill the sinner The skies retain the sin
