1.	The Brilliant Beast - Man That You Love 03:04	lyrics	download
Sitting on the staircase Of a rusty metal fire escape With tears streaming out from your eyes You thought about your true love And what he must be made of To leave such a sweet girl behind So dry your eyes and sing along To the lyrics of your favorite song Because the man that you love is gone All the birds on the railing Remind you of your sailing Tossing on the echoes of the sea Well you thought you found dry land In the arms of your man But now you found kingdom come Falling, yes he is falling, but he ain’t calling you back again, Oh, falling, yes he has fallen, for your best friend! You’re pulling out your hair And I don’t think that it’s fair To say this a second time But when you open your heart Some day it will fall apart He was a good man, but now he’s gone So dry your eyes and stand up strong Because you were right all along And the man that you love is gone Yeah the man that you love is gone
2.	The Brilliant Beast - Serpent's Tongue 04:07	lyrics	download
Poor old mother sitting in a chair Dragging the comb through her daughter’s hair She said “I want you to grow up, I want you to have fun, But just beware of that Serpent’s tongue! She said I’ve done my traveling, I’ve seen my sights And I’ve seen the darkness that creeps in at night He slithers in to meet you and he talks so sweet And many a poor girl hangs from his tree. Yes the sweetest fruit is always close at hand But it’s always more tender just across the land So take a train or take a plane, take an automobile Take any way you can just to taste a fruit so real. He’ll get you when you’re tired, he’ll get you when you’re cold He’ll curl up right beside you, shimmering scales of gold And every word he whispers will make you feel so right And that’s when he turns around and wraps you up so tight. I’ve seen it all around me as I go from town to town Everywhere the serpent goes the bodies fill the ground And if you don’t believe me then look no further dear For I was a young girl too when the serpent caught my ear He promised me perfection, he promised me delight He promised everything he had, I almost took that bite But then I remembered what my mother said to me She said, “Don’t be the next girl to hang from his tree!”

5.	Michelle Lynn - Multiverse 04:57	lyrics	download
If I am nothing more than some animated matter Why pick me apart lets put this thing together Nobody sees every side to anybody Around here we try with chemistry with symmetry Our language speaks it’s energy When I think of it does it think in me Are we creating or revealing Stream of consciousness drain the life out of me I’m having that dream where we go without sleep I seep through your pores every open door Gets me out of my head and back into yours Where the world is a metaphor Our minds created to explore Its coming through us in leaps and bounds When I don’t open up it shuts me down Examination at the medicine wheel Free association vivid detail How close to close is close enough We make our love but why make it about us Stream of consciousness drain the life out of me I’m having that dream where we go without sleep I seep through your pores every open door Gets me out of my head and back into yours Where the world is a metaphor Our minds created to explore If I am nothing more than some chemical reactions Push my buttons lets see what happens Can experiments read the mind of god The god of your choice in an equation And with a theory of everything Would there be exploring or exploiting How many shades of grey will we need To paint a psychedelic picture merging these frames of mind Where memories bleed in black and white show me an inbetween Stream of consciousness drain the life out of me I’m having that dream where we go without sleep I seep through your pores every open door Gets me out of my head and back into yours Where the world is a metaphor and nothing more Shhhh don’t interrupt my cell cycles with the toxic and artificial The invisible divisible atom is at our disposal As we discard modern discipline cuz it looks like eventual ruin Can I embrace your compassion effortless effort in every motion Stream of consciousness drain the life out of me
6.	Michelle Lynn - Changes in Venus 03:15	lyrics	download
They put me in a box so I can corner you Corner me when you need a change in view Our bodies like prison glass they let us see through You’ll slip me something good won’t you I don’t need anything anymore except space A little more room for a new fall from grace I see a little of myself in your face Can you walk by a mirror without looking at yourself sideways Maybe in us we see changes in Venus Sister why must they pit ourselves again us Why would I want to stick out if I am stuck It gets me down we get so hung up Inside the petty and frivolous all drama climaxes into a mind fuck Maybe in us we see changes in venus Sister why must they pit ourselves against us Following phases mixed with the solar system Why use self-destructive self-medication To numb the excess in this civilization Now self-deprivation is used like confidence And cat-calls confused as compliments Maybe in us we see changes in Venus Sister why must they pit ourselves against us Following phases mixed with the solar system It would be oh so easy to sit and play along In a play where it’s our part to play dead or play dumb But I prefer the examples of women Who dream the thoughts of history With one eye open
