sense the call will you answer it all around things are happening, happening sudden chill are we hanging out? shot a glance are you picking up, picking up on it?

Fool on The Fulcrum 02:17
lyrics
Swinging upside down from a pine on the outside of town not sure what he meant as the blood rushed to his head Swaying upside down hanging by his foot from a tree outside of town Not sure what he meant I'd ask but all the blood is in head. Fool on the Fulcrum More on the way All of the Choices We'll Never make Fool On the fulcrum No other way All of the choices We face Every Day

Sway 03:24

sane, half crazy don’t lose sleep placed in a jagged heap nothin to say watching you sway thank you, thank you for your violet haze thank you, don’t ever let it fade nothin to say watching you sway watching you sway wait my friend of friends nothin that breaks don’t mend can’t you lend a little tender hand a little tender hand

Windy Smile 03:52
lyrics
all you see soft repeat couldn't take your time couldn't wait your turn all your calling cards depleted somethings happening soft with me closed company so dull so dull can you wait for me i can't wait to do joy in all your things windy smile

about

Scientists and philosophers alike theorize there's a balance in the universe, an equilibrium toward which every thing we do our experience strives. Perhaps this is true, or perhaps that's just a rationale to ease the chaos we to encounter every day. One thing feels certain.. as the balance shifts, the weights pile higher on either side." Chapter X: The Weight of Worth" explores themes of great age, balance, gravity, clashing forces, and the quest for resolution.
