BirdCage 03:34
So they clipped your wings and left you for dead? I've had a million of em just like that Stuck down in the dumps I unclipped the sack and I packed em up Oh just let me go right there you got a fire girl in your stare Seeing all kinds of things that ain't there Pain came left to right that hallucinating beauty with the blues? She's mine I could never let myself down Far along as you've slipped by now Caught up in a cage of self-doubt I could barely let you live this down What's a thief with no intention to take all the little things that keep you sane, clean-cut, fucked and runnin, far far away from the life you lusted He just might be okay Tell you everything your mind dont say All those dreams forgotten when you're awake don't you miss the way you could dream all day with a smilin face I could never let myself down far along as you've slipped by now Caught up in a cage of self-doubt I couldn't merely let you live this down

Death Rattle 04:09
If only had you known the peace I had to show Would you raise the dead from your heart or your head? We're all set to roll "Those poor souls" But where you went wrong I bet you'd laugh and smile along Just to get along. The true sidewinder has no memory Just back and forth to infinity I bet you'd revel in the mystery Before your dreams make a mess of me. Dilated pupils and veins stretch the skin No way to know which dimension you're in Clutchin the antidote I drop the vial and on we go Nice and slow. Out in the desert where the sun draws the line Good men would fall down on their knees most everytime But if they've paved a road to hell on the way I'm sure i'll see you down the trail some darker day

Sweet pangs of a bitter lips embrace Sweet Jane better sour up someday Like you got every eye sheddin tears for a bent rose The real price of a dime is in the shape of her hips, though. Disdain ain't a little thing deep down One slip on a brittle piece: knives out Armed with stories from books she had taken for gospel He was made out a martyr for crimes of a rascal Finer points to make Little boxes prone to take You got an edgeline left to trim It's shredded under the rake So when the shoulder breaks, It's a brittle bone that caves So what don't fit slips between and that's slow, slow ache Live a life under lamplight where have you come from? Take the depth of a text get vexed up in breadcrumbs Turn your nose up away from the scent of a love drunk Count in up in pages, the number? Your life sum. Lights out babygirl Close your eyes to a bitter world Knives out, poisonous thorns Shield you from Your brothers scorn Finer points to make Little boxes prone to take You got an edgeline left to trim It's shredded under the rake So when the shoulder breaks, It's a brittle bone that caves So what don't fit slips between and that's slow, slow ache

Slow Burn 04:50
Might have to watch these things unseen Sweet Beverly As good as it seems I won't let you flounder no more But hold it down The pesky lungs might scream and shout Can't fake it now As hard as it seems I won't let you even the score A rusted switch gets flustered when pressed to flip, But you got much more underneath your dress now don't you miss headtrip? A careful mind, the occasional sunken eyes A shallow grin wards off speculation prone to your shy type A typical night a trip to the backroom to throw back your head to drown out a voice that grows loud instead. Might have to watch these things unseen Sweet Beverly as good as it feels I wont let you flounder no more Hold it down the pesky lungs might scream and shout They can't fake it now Bet I can see right through that facade you've put forth You look great when you're grinding your teeth and blushed Now how we gonna make that last when you're always in a rush we can mince words and call this what it's not make me believe it's a good clean easy fix when the pheen eclipse my thoughts. Darlin I can't wait that long for death So why don't we speed up the process Blazed but im blissed lickin speed off my lips like sugar It tastes like sugar The slowest burn. Blazed but im blissed lickin speed off my lips like sugar It tastes like sugar The slowest burn. Might have to watch these things unseen Sweet Beverly as good as it seems I won't let you flounder no more but hold it down The pesky lungs might scream and shout Can't fake it now. As hard as it seems I won't let you even the score

Everything seemed different at first You called me on the phone before revealing who you were Just the type to quench my mighty thirst You sacrificed the single of lily seeds and ferns One thing led to another of course and one foot in one out the door you're crying on your Bon Iver t-shirt Why can't you just be everything I need, Honeybee Please just don't ask me where we're gonna be. What you think you can't see Oh that's everything to me What a dream Everything seemed different before You told me you were quiet yeah made damn sure I'd been warned Silence like that shook me to the core I wish I could be comfortable when I'm talkin to the floor Well it's just us you're a little behind my past caught up passed down the line we're talking like there's more to life than time.. Why can't you just be everything I need? Honeybee Please just don't ask me where we're gonna be Who you think you can't be Now that's everyone to me What a dream

Hollow 04:23
No life is lossless what lip service solace might you gain from filling my ear? No vice is costless a trade away for less thoughtful distractions that vacate the mirror My manic simplified, rose hips and caramel eyes we're breaking the mold in my head What i need you to realize is there's so much more to life than wondering how much more there is Some might call you daft Lies ain't hard to swallow Real you is gone today Pray he's back tomorrow Listless, limp and lame Eyes like broken bottles Douse that trembling flame Dress your vessel hollow. One sip away from some bottomless patience a well that won't ever run dry Let's not get hasty the bottleneck cadence of your breath has left us behind What's worse than "not bad", what a stick can mark in the sand, might strike a chord with the sea But you're drowning everything Some shotgun revelry A race where no sound soul competes Some might call you daft Lies ain't hard to swallow Real you is gone today Pray he's back tomorrow Listless, limp and lame Eyes like broken bottles Douse that trembling flame Dress your vessel hollow.

Somniloquy 02:23
Don't you feel like a hand left too long underwater? I was led back to your bed like lamb to the slaughter So you seemed well-conceived and I asked for your number I awoke next to a wolf and he tore me asunder Laughed aloud and loomed away At last I'd found my place to stay

Remember when you called me by the wrong name? And i stormed outside the door without my keys I sat beside the car until you came, Watching planets and stars trading gas and dust between without a cause And you can't even trust me ...trust me with the dog. (Dollars and bottles and pockets and scruff) It's alright (Bobbing for compliments, calling your bluff) Take it easy (Hours of arguing, flowers and stuffed bears with baby blue ribbons and such) I know it's just a matter of time (Dollars and bottles and pockets and scruff) You left because (Bobbing for compliments, calling your bluff) My voice ain't pretty enough (Arguing hours and hours for what? I'm not your rock, I'm not solid enough) For you it's just for fun (Just go.) Wait. Cause you know it's all in your head The things I've said The candles lit The shrunken heads It's a love comatose Unresponsive to logic, sticks, and stones Or so the story goes

Dip 04:19
We should take a dip Then do something that's beyond what we both can imagine I could grab the fireworks and soda all the cookies we could eat make you nauseous but be cautious this is not Dawson's Creek we could sneak away, you could bring a eighth I'm not gonna smoke but baby you meet me by the lake. You got love in the same room that you used to. Hours and hours and hours Makin em love you Well I never found the evidence that's written on my epitaph. All my wishes and petty regrets their all just etchings on the wet cement.

The Weight 03:28
She got her hand planted behind the back for the trigger pull Her laugh sounds like a one hand clap when I screw the joke She makes noise when I hit the point like an animal She kicks up all the dust from the undone canticles I feel the weight of your love like a hundred thousand tons Backbreakin, forehead sweatin bend and break before I shrug I feel the weight of your love like a hundred thousand tons Mind trippin, Heartbeat skippin no I never get enough Applied lip bliss twistin your hips so magical you know the head trips tighten my grip on the manifold But be warned the heat treats the bored in Babylon Too informed, a lick just before I drop the ball. I feel the weight of your love like a hundred thousand tons Backbreakin, forehead sweatin bend and break before I shrug I feel the weight of your love like a hundred thousand tons Mind trippin, Heartbeat skippin no I never get enough

I am cody adams and Able. is the product of two years of life spent in a dusty attic on top of a hill in Athens, OH. Most of it was written when I should have been doing homework. I talk in my sleep because I have insane dreams.

Written/Performed/Recorded/Produced by Cody Adams

I've got a whole world to thank, luke, alex, cody g, nate, calvin. eddie b. and the rest of the people who saw me to 22.
this thing is dedicated to:

Dad, for insisting that I be put to bed with Red Hot Chili Peppers' "Californication" at the tender age of 6.

Mom, for allowing the perpetual repetition of System of A Down riffs to ring through the house in my formative musical years, and of course, the seemingly limitless encouragement.

Cayle, for teaching me to dig, and never stop digging until I've unearthed the beauty from the dirt, and eliciting my hunger for original achievement as the world's most dedicated critic.

Brad, for operating simultaneously as sonic tastemaker and mental chiropractor for the majority of my existence.

Emily, for inspiring so much of this music, and assuring me that it was always worth it. you are the fire of my heart.

all of you had a significant hand in creating me, and therefore, this record.
