1.	Zoetrope (free) 03:15	lyrics	download
Spin the wheel, look inside The eye cuts right through the lines Observe haunting visages Graven images Sing when all are aligned This illusion of motion Simulacrum of life on display in the zoetrope A thousand moments spliced together Disconected reality occludes all of our distress Excise all your sins Excise all but this maudlin likeness of type Stitch together the remnants Piece together a life Frame your self as the narrative A context to repine in Fragments dance in the zoetrope Brazen icons aping life As the drum winds down the fiction falters Escapist myths descried Scrawlings and pictographs These stop motion portraits are deceit Our ideals give way to shadow play as the zoetrope repeats These analogs pushed into duty Deceive as they may Grin up looking blank their mechanical hearts cold as the lies they convey Spin the wheel; we’re desperate for purpose Spin the wheel; we’re yearning for dignity I can feel it slowing inertia giving out Fragments dance in the zoetrope Brazen icons aping life As the drum winds down the fiction falters Escapist myths descried Scrawlings and pictographs These stop motion portraits are deceit Our ideals give way to shadow play as our zoetropes repeat Oh so enticing the appeal to re-edit yourself Instead pause the wheel Embrace the truth start by closing your eyes and replacing the toys on the shelf
2.	I Love You In Your Tragic Beauty (Legendary Pink Dots Cover) (free) 02:05	lyrics	download
I watched you in your tragic beauty Walk beneath my window Eyes aimed high, but unfocused You never noticed me You always wore the same dress; Always bore the same Expression: "It's a loveless world so what's the point of looking? Let it be" I considered throwing roses-- Thought I'd maybe Wave a flag Had to try and force some small connection-- But there's a snag It's my confession that I watch you in My tragic isolation In my fear That's the way it's been for years That's the way it will always be Always be Always
