Lyrics:

"Gentle Welcome" : N/A

"Time Slip" : " Let the time slip through your hands. Can't hold on to anything, time or people or memories."

"All the coffins are cold" : "Soon the finger points at you. Don't shy away from the day that your light will go out. You may not see if come, it may not be far so be prepared for the dark. When you're under the earth it's the same damn worms eating us. All the coffins are cold whether they're wood or they're gold."

"High" : "I came home so high. You looked me in the eye. You left my DARE report in my bed to put some sense inside my head. I blacked out on a bus and managed to lose your trust, I wonder if I can redeem myself? Selfish boy you gonna hurt your health. Someday I will fall asleep. In a dream is where we'll meet and I won't have to wake up. And I won't ever have to wake up."

"Water of God" : "That's life in the valley; the water's gonna rise. Maybe flush out the riff-raff, so try to keep yourself dry. They say the water of God will purify this land. They say the storms is comin' and we gotta prepare, should head for the high ground and say our prayers. They say that the water of God will purify this land."

"Cutthru" : "waaaah, waaaah, waaaah" ect.

"Erasehead" : "Plane of existence constantly witness, perpetual on switch filling brain space. Send to the erasehead my recorded thinks, send to the erasehead my recorded thinks. Sound that has grown stale, thought forms the jail, tape recorded over spliced into the void. Send to the erasehead my recorded thinks, send to the erasehead my recorded thinks."
