cavegirl 04:41
Survivor, eyes so bright but hands so cold Smilecryer with a heart of gold Doing whatever just to face your endeavor But compared to your ardent glow I’m as good as a ghost Blowing blood out my nose Nature heals slow I’ll stay tongue-tied yet verbose Can't hear what the cavegirl knows Survivor, living life just day to day Bending over backwards just to stay the same Doing whatever just to face your endeavor Eating your heart out with the fork in the road You're a ghost Blowin' blood out your nose Nature heals slow I’ll stay tongue-tied yet verbose Can't hear what the cavegirl knows Survivor, eyes so bright but hands so cold Smilecryer with a heart of gold Doing anything you can to survive Trying so hard not to explode Good as ghosts Blowing blood out the nose Nature heals slow I’ll stay tongue-tied yet verbose But I won't lose hope That you'll grow back a soul Unless my healing is all for show Until I learn better self-control Guess I better leave the cavegirl alone

Longbone 04:34
I dressed myself a warrior Until I threw away my gun I was a whiz at choosing targets Until the night that I became one I want to celebrate a new life That I build from the ashes Of every friendship I burn down Until I’m all out of matches, baby Burn, burn, burn baby Burn, burn, burn baby I get no joy watching it all fall apart Like one last look at burning art I took off my helmet And found an old pack of cigarettes I knew I didn't want it I wanted more from life than they could give Would you call me back tomorrow Maybe we can find ourselves a new life It's been waiting to happen For too many years And I can't wait anymore I want to celebrate a new life That I build from the ashes Of every friendship I burn down Until I’m all out of matches, baby Burn, burn, burn baby Burn, burn, burn baby I get no joy watching it all fall apart But I still watch it fall apart I’d sooner steal an apple From the Garden of Eden Eat every knowledge-soaked morsel Until my heart stops beating Frankly I’m going, going gone, going gone I’m going away I’m going, going gone, going gone I’m going away I get no joy watching it all fall apart But I still watch it fall apart I get no joy watching it all fall apart Going, going gone, going gone, going away I can’t heal, I don’t even know where to start Going, going gone, going away I get no help from my dysfunctional heart Going, going gone, going gone, going away I get no joy watching it all fall apart Like one last look at burning art

Chica 05:16
Oh yeah That’s right I’m late But you’re right on time Misfit queen, not caught up in the finer things Deeply loving everyone you meet Dancing to the beat of every song I sing Oh yeah That’s right I’m late But you’re right on time To save my life Chica, eres el sol qué llega a mi alma Cuando siento que la muerte viene Susurras vida en mi oído Oh yeah That’s right I’m late, but you’re right on time To save my life To save my life Oh yeah That’s right You save my life My sunshine Oh yeah That’s right You are sunshine Oh yeah That’s right You save my life Oh yeah That’s right You are my sunshine Oh yeah Alright You are my sunshine Mi sol Mi sonriza Tu eres Mi vida Oh si señorita
