"I Prefer The Library"
Words & Music by Kinsley August (ASCAP)
Well oh
We travel by ocean
Well oh
We travel by sea
Well oh
In case you don't find
What you want
Look in your mind
And there
You'll be far away
High above
In space
Well oh
She travels by motion
Well oh
She likes commotion
Well oh
She likes to party
Well oh
I prefer the library
So go
In case you don't find
What you want
Look in your mind
And there
You'll be far away
High above
In space
Space
So go
La, da di dum, di dum, go (4x)

"Fall Back"
Words & Music by Kinsley August (ASCAP)
All of these mountains seem quite tall
All of my problems seem quite small
Stuck in the pages of a magazine
Pornographic millionaire routine
I didn't mean to make you cry
I just wanted you to die
I didn't mean to make you laugh
I just want to see you fall back down
I'm blowing out smoke rings
And death rays surround
All the people in this quiet desert town
I am watching and waiting
For something to change
Every moment here it feels the same
As the rocks fall the rats in the hole
We'll meet him there
When we get old
I didn't mean to make you cry
I just wanted you to die
I didn't mean to make you laugh
I just want to see you fall back
See you fall back down
Back down
I just want to see you fall back down
Back down
I just want to see you fall back down

"Stay The Night"
Words & Music by Kinsley August (ASCAP)
We were both lying in your bed
We were both covered in a sweat
I had my hands inside your dress
You had your head upon my chest
It was such a beautiful mess
Darling please don't go
Wont you stay the night
Cause' even in the darkness
We can find some light
Sometime in the morning
The sun will surely rise
Darling please don't go
Won't you stay the night
She said I live with no regrets
Think about quitting cigarettes
I wonder what comes next
I wonder what comes next
I've got a lot to lose, so take it from me soon
I don't want to live to die again, again
Darling please don't go
Wont you stay the night
Cause' even in the darkness
We can find some light
Sometime in the morning
The sun will surely rise
Darling please don't go
Won't you stay the night
Won't you stay the night (4x)
Darling please don't go
Wont you stay the night
Cause' even in the darkness
We can find some light
Sometime in the morning
The sun will surely rise
Darling please don't go
Won't you stay the night

"Thirst"
Words & Music by Kinsley August (ASCAP)
Well oh my love
It's been sometime
Since I've laid you down
And in my mind
My minds eye
Tossing turning
Wishing you were round'
(Wuh-uh-uh-uh-oh)
I just want to touch
(Wuh-uh-uh-uh-oh)
I can't quench my thirst
Oh my love
You taste so sweet
With your skin so soft
Make me want it all
Just take it off
Let it go and I'll call you mine
Making love
Feeling fine
(Wuh-uh-uh-uh-oh) (2x)
I just want to touch
(Wuh-uh-uh-uh-oh)
I can't quench my thirst
I can't quench my
I can't quench my thirst

"All That I Am"
Words & Music by Kinsley August (ASCAP)
This is the only god damn thing I've ever known
You must keep on pressing forward down the road
And so I hear
It doesn't get much easier when you grow old
Bugs appear
To peel off all the skin around your skull
All that I am is full of sin
So please condemn me to a flame
So I can fuel the fire
All that I seek I wish you to see
So I speak into the air
And flex my tongue as a muscle
And flex my tongue as a muscle
You get old (7x)

"Smokey Lovers"
Words & Music by Kinsley August (ASCAP)
Smokey lovers on the corner
Tangled up in motel beds
Oh my god you should have seen her
When we were younger more innocent
And I am trying to forget
What the world was like
Back when we were kids
And I am trying to forget
What it would be like to kiss a stranger's lips
My tiny house was on the border
There it built me brick by brick
I saw her swimming by the river
She stepped out so I stepped in
And I am trying to forget
What the world was like
Back when we were kids
And I am trying to forget
What it would be like to kiss a stranger's lips

"Bird Song"
Words & Music by Kinsley August (ASCAP)
Tell mother I'm doing fine
Tell father I'm still alive
And when it rains at night
Tell them I stay dry
Flying by myself
Dear mother
Away from all my sisters and my brothers
Set apart in the sky
All alone to fly
I think I'll be alright
Just think of me tonight
We flew away today
To the south to our destiny
Through fields and trees we flew to our new homes
My face doesn't look the same
Since last when you saw me leave
My wings keep on trying to follow its change
Flying by myself
Dear mother
Away from all my sisters and my brothers
Set apart in the sky
All alone to fly
I think I'll be alright
Just think of me tonight
Know that no matter what
I'll go until I've had enough
Keep on flying with the rest
Only stop to catch my breath
When the going still gets rough
When I'm sleeping in the dirt
I'll find my way back home to you
Flying by myself
Dear mother
Away from all my sisters and my brothers
Set apart in the sky
All alone to fly
I think I'll be alright
Just think of me tonight
I'll think of you tonight

"Heart Of Electricity"
Words & Music by Kinsley August (ASCAP)
You made circles in the ground
With your toes in the mud
Your heart is electricity
Powering the city
All alone you feel broken
Silence has spoken
Fear will make you grow
Until the day we go
We're singing
We're singing
La ah ah ah
La ah ah ah oh
La ah ah ah ah oh
We're singing
When the winter comes my love
I'll keep you warm
Like the sun keeps the earth
From getting cold
Over time
All the moths they make their homes
In the dark where we lay
We shake our bones
As they quake to make
The shape of one
We're singing
La ah ah ah
La ah ah ah oh
La ah ah ah ah oh
We're singing

"Psychedelic Waves"
Words & Music by Kinsley August (ASCAP)
And these are the star days
Yes this is a new age
In psychedelic waves
Guess I never thought I'd be
Nothing more than a machine
Yes I never want to go
Into the ground inside a hole
Hello, are you alright
You hear voices in the night
Singing these, are the star days
Yes this is a new age
In psychedelic waves
Guess I never thought I'd be
Nothing more than a machine
Yes I never want to go
Into the ground inside a hole

"Here To Stay"
Words & Music by Kinsley August (ASCAP)
She tasted sweet
Underneath my tongue
She ran deep
Inside of my blood
And I knew
I'd never be the same again
You see my mind has gone
I am changing soon
Please don't miss me now
When I've left the room
The young will fade to old
And soon slip away
Darling all of my love
Is here to stay
As my heart began to breath
As my mind began to see
All the love that makes you me
And our bones in the grave
May rot away
But my love is here to stay
You see my mind has gone
I am changing soon
Please don't miss me now
When I've left the room
The young will fade to old
And soon slip away
Darling all of my love
Is here to stay

"The Smoke"
Words & Music by Kinsley August (ASCAP)
The smoke in my house
Creeps up like a mouse
Through the window
And out the door
In the cupboards
And on the floor
I looked in the shadows
But your not here
Well I'm broken
Yes I'm broken
Well I'm broken
But I'm alright
Through the window
And out the door
In the cupboards
And on on the floor
I looked in the shadows
Your not here
Well she's broken
Yes she's broken
Well she's broken
But she's alright
I'm out the window
I'm out the door
I'm in the cupboards
I'm on the floor
I looked in the shadows
Your not here
