Track Name: Three Cats and a Drunk Named Sprig
Smokescreen across these greasy palms
That pull the knobs and levers
Steam floods the room as the gears
Labour in their vast endeavours

And though the catwalk crackles crying out
The engine pulses on
No way to quite take back the cracks
Been forming here for way too long

I know it seems so dull but its much easier and I
I know that nothing's real
I know it's just all buttercups and fireflies and broken hearts and mended wounds
But you just gotta let it all go

I sacrifice my joy, to make things easier and I
I know that nothing's real
I know it's just all buttercups and fireflies and broken hearts and mended wounds
But you just gotta let it all go
Track Name: Bigfoot
Not a cloud in the sky as the birds sang their morning wake up call
The loud crunch of leaves underfoot as the cool breeze ushered in the fall
We arrived at the clearing off the lake in the heart of the pines
And put up our makeshift little homes and planned our trip in the sunshine

We were long overdue for a fade into obscurity
Hell, we worked our fingers to the bone to create a false sense of security

The dark of the night fell like a blanket on the sky
The crackle and hiss of the fire played games with the lonely wolves' cries
We'd lug our equipment to the woods and bore ourselves with dreams of discovery
And keep entertained by the squirrels and counting the birds in the trees

But every crack of a branch sent shivers down our spines
By the end of the night we had pictures of our own demise

As the sun hit its high point in the cold blue sky, a determined look crossed Bigfoot's face. He had been tracking a lonely group of photographers the past few days, and now was the time to make their aquaintance. As he trekked on across the hard forest ground, Bigfoot silently hoped that maybe, just maybe, these would be the friends he had always been looking for. As he neared their encampment, a thought crossed his mind: "First impressions are everything! I have to do well by these folk; I'll give them all a good surprise." And there, behind a solitary bush, Bigfoot waited.

As the stars lit the sky pounding footsteps creeping up our backs
The furry silhouette against the moon stopped us dead in our tracks
And when the beast reared its head the adrenaline pumped through our veins
Without looking back we ran off into the pouring rain

As we fled into the night
The beast looked on and cried
Another friend abandoned in fright
No matter how hard he tried

Another to share, to hold above
Another whose wounds I'll mend
All I want is to be loved
All I want is a friend
Track Name: Ronald Raygun
There once was a boy named Ronald, grew up in a mining town
Breathed puffs of smoke, his parents were broke but he knew how to get around
Little Ronald was so handsome, got all the girls in school
But deep inside, a lonely soul did hide, but he bore it to be cool
Yes he bore it to be cool

Well one day little Ronald found a meaning to his life
A scene of folks who understood his struggle and his strife
A family who held the key to unlock his inner sin
He said let the good times and the partying begin

So Ronald left his parents and his boring life behind
To rise above the visions of the kingdom in his mind
From his throne he ruled his people, his land grew every day
But amongst the gains, the fact remains that nothing gold can stay
No that nothing gold can stay

Over time his kingdom fell and his people went away
The love and joy that he once felt was conquered by dismay
Without his scene, his hopes and dreams left him to die alone
He said let my lifeless body cast the final stone

So Ronald took his leave and found the nearest toxic dump
He shed a tear, embraced his fears and took one final jump
As he landed in his deathbed, consumed by neon green
A change occurred but no one heard his desperate cries and screams
No one heard his cries and screams

Ronald grew a hundred feet, his eyes grew crystal clear
He towered above all that he loved and all he once held dear
Cries of vengeance filled the air the terror had begun
He said feel the wrath of Ronald Raygun

There once was a king from a mining town
Who gave his life away when his kingdom crumbled down
Now he roams the earth shooting lasers from his eyes
A weapon of the government to rid the land of spies
But deep in his heart the guilt he felt was strong
Buried in his soul there was a longing to belong
He realized he'd never feel the love that he once knew
So he just keeps on killing, it's all that he can do
So he just keeps on killing, it's all that he can do
Track Name: Have a Little Faith
Well it's been awhile since I've been knocking at the door
You know, can't take much more of this mess
And I, I've tried to confess that I'm just lost
Make do, but what is the cost to be found
Decide, my burial ground
I know it's close, too close, but further than most
So get lost, get out, if I'm a lost cause to you
Then leave me to my work, I promise I won't make a sound until you're gone

Have a little faith
It's not over, I'm not giving up just yet
Shades of you in me
Remember, there's nothing to regret

Well it's been awhile since I've cared to learn how to define
Divine, what crosses the line, and I long
The past, when nothing was wrong
But as the years go by, anticipate fears
No escape, it's real, to love is to hate
But there's a lack, of love, I'm stabbed in the back
That's how it goes, the world, seeing in green
So lighten up and understand I'm not about to let go of my heart

Have a little faith
It's not over, don't give it all away
Shades of life remain
Remember, everything is grey
