Hello. How are you? I'm doing fine and I hope you're well. These days are hot now so come and sit inside. We can cut some apple sections, Point the fan in your direction, and we'll spend some time to catch up. Ee-nee-me-nee-mi-nee-mo Get up! Get up! Let's go. To the great branches of the tree that lives next door.

Sometimes 03:44
Sometimes I just want to go outside. Sometimes I just have to close my eyes. Sometimes I just like to feel the wind blow. Mostly I just want to see my friends grow. I've got sleeves if you need something to hold onto. I've got lots of things I'm still trying to work through. I do my best to fill up my time. I keep most of my thoughts in my mind. There's so many things around that can distract us. We'll never get good at things unless we practice. We've hung up signs so many times in the city that we live in. We've read these books so many times that we've memorized what's in them. We tell ourselves because we're older we understand why things are breaking. We've done these things for so long we've convinced ourselves that we're not faking.

thy thou thee it can't be how could Thou love me without Thee when it's Thee who gave Thy body to me and me who messed this body up I plea please explain it how could someone unrelated to me take my life and change it into things I thought could never be I was walking outside when a tree reached out and scratched me then I saw some of my insides coming out where they weren't supposed to be. my best friends have told me I'm as soft as clay so mold me into someone braver, stronger than the person I wished I could be.

Put your oxen on my back and dig your plow into my flesh pull it back and forth in long and steady rows you look back at all the bloody, mounded mess that you have left you think you killed it but the garden always grows the rain pours down branches reach up the man pours water from a pitcher to a cup put your oxen and your plow onto my back and ride around you're getting nowhere cuz the harnesses are torn your shallow roots they wither in the dry and rocky ground before your neighbors give you blessings from the Lord. the rain pours down branches reach up the man pours water from a pitcher to a cup

Fight Song 02:09
I don't know if I'm right so I assume I'm wrong. I see my hands moving but they're not getting anything done. I believe in a book. I believe I'm no good. I never want to fight cuz I'm not sure I'd win. and so I'll do my best to ignore everything again I was concieved in the dirt. I will return to the earth.
