Ashes to ashes, and dust to dust
 That's what you do with lots of fluff
 Stuff can be buried in ground
 New days are yet to be found.
Ashes to ashes, and dust to dust
 That's what's become of our love and trust
 Hush, don't you make a sound
 You're gonna let me down.
 
"Diamonds On The Inside" (MP3) 
I knew a girl 
 Her name was Truth 
 She was a w***e and a liar
I knew a girl 
 Her name was Truth 
 She was a horrible liar
 
"Glory and Consequence" (MP3) 
I would rather you stop stoning
 And you realize your throne.
I would rather me be lonely
 And you have someone to hold.
 
Homeless child, homeless child
 Pack your bags, you homeless child.
Homeless child, homeless child
 What is left for the homeless child?
 
Tell me do you really want to be cute and tan
 'Cause a car speaks louder, be a polished man
 Why would you settle for any other plan
 You're a high class hopeful, American Man.
Tell me do you really know your brother man
 'Cause a heart speaks louder than a color can
 Why would you even shake a brother's hand
 If you're not going to help him stand?
 
"Roses From My Friends" (MP3) 
When all the past is for stakin'
 Distant whirlpools mean nothing
 That's when dreams become the mean.
When all the past has been forsaken
 Distant church bells no longer ring
 That's the sound of a heart taken.
 
"Two Hands Of A Prayer" (MP3) 
She stoked a breeze, and I know how to try.
She spoke to me, but I could not reply.
 
"Widow of a Living Man" (MP3) 
Mama, why does he fear he's been told?
 Why does he act like he's mold?
 How long will he sit seated in the tide?
 Does he think that he is blind?
 He is a ditto, he is a ditto
 Of human kind.
Mama, why does he treat me so cold?
 Why do I feel so old?
 How long has he treated me unkind?
 Have I always been so blind?
 I am widow, I am a widow
 Of a living man.
