The Fox 02:45
The fox went out on a chilly night, he prayed to the Moon to give him light, for he'd many a mile to go that night before he reached the town-o, town-o, town-o, he had many a mile to go that night before he reached the town-o. He ran till he came to a great big bin where the ducks and the geese were put therein. "A couple of you will grease my chin before I leave this town-o, town-o, town-o, a couple of you will grease my chin before I leave this town-o." He grabbed the grey goose by the neck, threw the gray goose behind his back; he didn't mind their quack, quack, quack, and their legs all a-dangling down-o, down-o, down-o, he didn't mind their quack, quack, quack, and their legs all a-dangling down-o. Old Mother Hubbard jumped out of bed; out of the window she cocked her head, Crying, "John, John! The grey goose is gone and the fox is on the town-o, town-o, town-o!" Crying, "John, John, the grey goose is gone and the fox is on the town-o!" Then John he ran to the top of the hill, He blew his horn both loud and shrill, the fox he said, "I'd better flee with my kill He’ll soon be on my trail-o, trail-o, trail-o." The fox he said, "I'd better flee with my kill Or he’ll soon be on my trail-o." Soon he came back to his den; there were the little ones eight, nine, ten. They said, "Daddy, better go back again, 'cause it must be a mighty fine town-o, town-o, town-o!" They said, "Daddy, better go back again, 'cause it must be a mighty fine town-o." Then the fox and his wife without any strife cut up the goose with a fork and knife. And they never had such a supper in their life and the little ones chewed on the bones-o, bones-o, bones-o, they never had such a supper in their life and the little ones chewed on the bones-o.

Broken Guy 02:14
Have you seen the Olympics at night? I'm gonna need 5,000 feet if I'm gonna do this right I'm just a broken guy Got my arms behind my back now whole lifetime behind me I'm just a broken guy Got a few screws loose I guess, Never knew Oh whats the point of all of it? I've played games I know what I'm doin' a little bit Oh wow these skies are gorgeous think this thing can do a barrel roll? (Solo) I got a lotta people that care Feel thrills one last time soaring through the air I'm just a broken guy Got my arms behind my back now whole lifetime behind me I'm just a broken guy Got a few screws loose I guess, Never knew

A dense white fog creeps over the rocks A cool wind blows And the old boats rock The thick green forest stretches across the land But the beach is quiet cept for the waves on the sand I can see something (I can see something) Deep in the water (deep in the water) I see it glowing (I see it glowing) Does it know I'm watching? (Can it see me watching?) Now it's rising The endless current pulls the seaweed ashore and the night is waiting for something more The darkened lighthouse sits upon the rocks Signalling to no-one That it's safe to dock Now in the moonlight (now in the moonlight) A silhouette's moving (sillhouette's moving) Close to the beach now (Close to the beach now) The sunken old mariner (risen from his grave) Strolls on the beachside (Solo) Now the night is fading and moon's going down and the mariner returns to where he drowned And the seagulls begin to squack and caw but the mariners heard it all before Now in the sunlight (now in the sunlight) Children are playing (laughing and smiling) But they don't notice (they never notice) What's buried in the sand (buried in the sand) a rusted old sextant

Hikikomori 03:21
I've seen my Dad dying I keep the door shut tight I hear my mother crying herself to sleep at night Who needed school? Just hide away other children are cruel there's no need to stay Stiff upperlip Only brings shame Please don't look at me Please don't look at me Play games through the night A funny shitpost is alright Forums are still socializing Talking to people like normal people do Why do you sleep in the day? Why don't you leave your room? Now we've rented you a sister We hope that you get better soon Searching and selling things I don't touch Rare imports and games The screen's light at night is enough The sun burns like flames Please just leave me alone All your help is just pain I can't leave the home I'm just his way Stiff upperlip Only brings shame Please don't look at me Please don't look at me Why do you sleep in the day? Why don't you leave your room? Now we've rented you a sister We hope that you get better soon Please don't look at me (better soon) Please don't look at me (better soon)

I went walking Down by the river shore I saw things I'd never seen before Daylight was turning As the sky went black I saw things in the water That made me never go back Feeding the Creature Even though it hurts Feeding the Creature Even though it hurts Sacrilegious sacraments Were laying under logs The bones of the weary Were resting in the bogs Dissonance and harmony Whistled through the trees The wind had paid a visit to The Ministry of Leaves Feeding the Creature Even though it hurts Feeding the Creature Even though it hurts They fed the Creature Even though it hurt They fed the Creature Even though it hurt Slimemolds were melting As the rain came heaving down But the forest had gown silent Even as trees hit the ground Then the final cries of a thousand eels Came shimmering through the trees And what they told me that night I damn well couldn't believe Feed the Creature Even though it hurts Feed the Creature Even though it hurts I fed the Creature Even though it hurt I fed the Creature Even though it hurt

Oh did you hear the sound When the opera burnt down And the animals flew out Into the night? And the panicked crowds Yelled so loud That the birds in the area Took flight? And the smoke swirled up And the pillars came down And the stagehands ran For their lives And the animals set free From the scene did flee Off into the cold Moscow night Oh what can be said Of when the flames burnt red The night that the opera Burnt down

Rosemary among the pines Swaying side to side Swaying side to side The winter wind blows leaves To and fro And the branches lay On the ground below You can see from the glade Rosemary among the pines Gently swaying in the forest's shade Above a bed of thyme Rosemary among the pines Swaying side to side Swaying side to side The winter wind blow leaves To and fro And no one knows No one knows Just a part of the forest now Rosemary among the pines The quiet straining on the pine tree's bough The forest takes it's time Rosemary among the pines Swaying side to side Swaying side to side The autumn wind blows and No one knows It starts to snow They search in winter clothes Rosemary among the pines Swinging side to side No life in her eyes And at home her mother knows And she cries alone She cries alone

It was the end of the long days And the red sun did shine bright The trees had died away When Mora went to see the gods The air was filled with paper toys And The white cliffs fell apart They had to have the answers When Mora went to see the gods She knew it had to be done It was the only way She wished it could be helped When Mora went to see the gods She was getting closer Though she didn't know the way And the wings had opened wider When Mora went to see the gods Look And stay A visit to the gods from Mora The stepping stones splashed on for miles The loom had set its course The winds whispered softly When Mora went to see the gods The moss had spread upon the steps And the stone was smooth as silt But the lanterns were still lit When Mora went to see the gods Trembling without a gift She put her hand upon the rocks And sank into her sorrows When mora went to see the gods Look And stay A visit to the gods from Mora Flowing on the ashen air Far above the clouds To the throne rooms pillars When Mora went to see the gods The granite doors were hung ajar Spilled light filled the room All desolate and dusty When Mora Went to see the gods The broken shrine lay at her feet The lamps had all gone out Answers lost forever When Mora went to see the gods Look And stay A visit to the gods from Mora

I've been around For a long time Pictures stay the same But the frames change People don't notice That I don't grow old I've been around For a long time Watching people Fade away It always Hurts the same I've been around

Of all the money that e'er I had I spent it in good company And all the harm I've ever done Alas it was to none but me And all I've done for want of wit To memory now I can't recall So fill to me the parting glass Good night and joy be to you all So fill to me the parting glass And drink a health whate’er befall, And gently rise and softly call Good night and joy be to you all Of all the comrades that e'er I had They're sorry for my going away And all the sweethearts that e'er I had They'd wish me one more day to stay But since it fell unto my lot That I should rise and you should not I gently rise and softly call Goodnight and joy be to you all So fill to me the parting glass And drink a health whate’er befall, And gently rise and softly call Good night and joy be to you all But I cannot rest from travel I will drink life to the lees How dull to pause, to make an end To rust unburnish'd, not shine in use! Moved earth and heaven, That which we are, we are; One equal temper of heroic hearts, Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will To strive, seek, find, And not to yield! So fill to me the parting glass And drink a health whate’er befall, And gently rise and softly call Good night and joy be to you all!
