Not Free 02:33
what gives you the silly idea that we're heading somewhere we're not destiny's pawns but we're causally locked there is no culmination that we're evolving into evolution is contingent teleology is bullshit even though we're programmed we're dictated by prior causes but we're still responsible there is no culmination that we're evolving into evolution is contingent
2.
what we need now is people who can propagate empathy so people can care for each other otherwise we're all totally fucked i'll just be sighing alone to myself i'll just be sighing alone why is it so hard for us to see people as separate worlds? if people don't realize that we've all got opinions and the truth's pretty hard to gauge and you might not actually be right just be aware that you might not be right just try to be aware we're all just trying to figure out what we're supposed to do
3.
can we really communicate with just words? i'll try i'll try i try to say the right thing but that's not what comes out of my mouth i try to say the right thing but that's not what comes out it's just a bunch of words
4.
Gracie 02:40
gracie you're the only one for me oh, gracie you're the only one for me and the only reason why i don't write every song about you is 'cause i can't think of any words that compare but i just want you near me all the time but every note that i play is about you in every way
5.
Forget It 03:06
forget it, it's not important i just was thinking nevermind it's nothing just that i'm feeling like you, oh forget it
6.
I'm a Body 03:50
i am isolated inside of my body human dream is to escape from my body i can't find a way to get out of my body i do not have, i am just a body
7.
ernie sits down with a headache he's been thinking, "how do i say what i want to when all i've got are words, just words?" language can never fit the world all of my attempts are failures language can never fit the world all of my attempts are failures so, what now? what now? ernie's frustrations are growing he's turned to music "how do you hear what i'm saying when all i've got are notes, just notes?" language can never fit the world all of my attempts are failures language can never fit the world all of my attempts are failures so, what now? what now?
8.
everything i say is a failure of articulation
9.
Should Care 02:42
why should i care? because if i don't who will? what can i do? why should i care? because if i don't who will?
10.
Nerves 02:09
i've got these nerves that i just can't shake, yeah i'll try to be cool if that's what'll get me to you i'm talking too fast and i'm not saying anything i keep doing all the wrong things with you don't know why you're here either it's pity or i've got some charm that i didn't know about
