Sphere 05:10
I can't see in front of me I can't tell you anything Though it's clear as day Clear as day I can't breathe inside of you You can tell me everything It's what you say What you say, not do I still need you I'll still feed you I think you want to know If I'll still be here You won't build your sphere It will be near I can't sleep in spite of you You can't do what you want to do Yet here we stay We stay, not go I can't see in front of me You can tell me everything I can't breathe in spite of you It's what you say, not what you do It's how we pay How we pay Now we pay I still need you I'll still feed you I think you ought to know If I won't be here You can build your sphere It will be dear © 2016 Greg Huang

88 Guns 03:18
You can take my stuff You can break my heart You can laugh when I'm in love with her It don't matter anymore You can take my love You can break my spine I have 88 guns I have 88 guns You can take my life You can wake my wife I will shoot you through the floor We won't hear you anymore I have 88 guns © 2016 Greg Huang

Miss Misery 02:43
Written by Steven P. Smith, published by Capitol Records / Universal Music Group (1997) I'll fake it through the day With some help from Johnnie Walker Red Send the poison rain down the drain To put bad thoughts in my head Two tickets torn in half And a lot of nothing to do Do you miss me, miss misery Like you say you do A man in the park Read the lines in my hand Told me I'm strong and Hardly ever wrong, I said man you mean You had plans for both of us That involved a trip out of town To a place I've seen in a magazine That you left lying around I don't have you with me but I keep a good attitude Do you miss me, miss misery Like you say you do I know you'd rather see me gone Than to see me the way that I am When I am in the life anyway Next door the TV's flashing Blue frames on the wall It's a comedy of errors, you see It's about taking a fall To vanish into oblivion It's easy to do And I try to be but you know me I come back when you want me to Do you miss me, miss misery Like you say you do

Some day the flood Will wash away the blood Of a thousand men Right where they stood Because they believed That there was still good Somewhere in the world They thought they heard a child But I felt her The child grew up And locked away the pain In a viral box She knew she’d see again But first there was time And then there was space To perfect a design And lay us all to waste I’ll help her Do you believe Do you believe me now You gave up on us again Gave up on as a friend I can’t say I blame you She’ll take us above the pain Take us above the plain and I will take the blame You can see me beaming On the ceiling We never knew was there One day the sun Will dry up all the rain And before we can run Engulf us all in flame We’ll be burned alive But we’ll feel no pain All because of a box That she took to the grave © 2016 Greg Huang

Yellowtail 03:49
Well you left me here to die out in the cold That's about the state I'm in My joints are rusted, my eyes are getting old I can't see where to begin Hard to believe that it was 20 years ago You walked into my life again Older wiser, mostly older don't you know You weren't talking to a friend You can never find another perfect yellowtail When I found you then I threw you back to the sea The storm rocked us to and fro Now I wonder what if I'd done differently Could I have ever saved you both You can never find another perfect yellowtail © 2016 Greg Huang
