An Apology 01:38
lyrics
buy track
Talking to me through lips too thick to speak And I'm stuck here left to wonder why we do this every week But I guess you don't get everything you need since I left Screaming or writing-neither one make a difference And it's too late for me to pretend I'm not indifferent But I am, I just struggle to admit it Maybe it's my fault Maybe it was both of us Babe, I don't have the strength for this I'm too tired from giving up I gave up I'm sorry I gave up.

Bedroom Closet 02:33
lyrics
buy track
Said you've got a fragile mind I could break it with a word I don't think that I should try, but if I did you could make it work Lock me in with all the secrets chained to the wall in your bedroom closet You've got a lot of skeletons and I'm friends with all of them Forgive your father, he's a drunk that likes to fight Forgive me too, I'm a liar when I say it's alright Lock me in with all the secrets chained to the wall in your bedroom closet You've got a lot of skeletons and I'm friends with all of them Pray each night as if God is listening Maybe he is, maybe he's visiting someone else Lock me in with all the secrets chained to the wall of your bedroom closet You've got a lot of skeletons and I'm friends with all of them

Lion of Judah 02:09
lyrics

I'm searching for the Lion of Judah I'm looking for his precious son the Lamb And on the day that I find them I'm gonna show them exactly who I am I'm gonna take back what they stole from me, I'm gonna take double cause they're thieves While my father's eye was on the sparrow I fell out of the goddamned tree I've been walking forever I hope I pass your holy test I've been carrying all my burdens cause they all fell out of your chest They say that I was made in the image but it seems that my sculptor was blind I would try to heal him but I am not the Christ I'm searching for the Lion of Judah I'm tracking down his wounded son the Lamb I swear exactly when I find them, I'm gonna hurt them in every way I can Today I found the Lion And I found his broken son the Lamb I've been hunting them for years now, I know every inch of this land.

Using You 03:54
lyrics
buy track
I've never cheated on you woman but I've wanted someone else for some time I think that I should leave, I'll go on get out of this house for a while See, I've got a lot of things weighing heavy on my mind I don't think I'll be able to fix all this up right So I'll hold you in bed knowing I need to hold back And I'll lay in your sheets both of us knowing exactly when I'm gonna give in Well I'm struggling how to tell what's real or fake You've given me the choice, but I don't know which pill to take So I'll hold you in bed knowing that I need to hold back And I'll tangle your sheets both of us knowing exactly when I'll give in I know I'm using you but you feel like 90 proof and I've got my families blood.

In Memoriam 03:07
lyrics
buy track
I'm the best friend that left you too early I'm his boat rowing away from the shore I'm the greedy prodigal child, the one always asking for more I'm the rocks that are thrown at your window I'm the grass that's kissing your feet I'm the scene you're always rewinding, I'm the ending you wanted to see I'm the brother you always picked fights with The ones that you made sure to lose I'm that favorite picture of your mama's: the one where you're wearing daddies boots I'm the people you read on the train, I'm the soldier that died in his bed I'm the woman you're leaving at daybreak with all her favorite songs in your head I'm the scar that you have forgotten I'm the one that still hurts when you move I'm all those sleepless nights-the ones when you're drowning in booze I'm every breath that you've taken, I'm everything you've ever said I'm every broken promise you're keeping tally of in your head.

about

This is an album that has been almost a year in the making. A few of the songs are older than the first EP I did, but they just weren't ready to be recorded. I don't think I was either.
These five songs range from being at least a year old to being written this Easter weekend. They offer snapshots of who I've been over the past year, and mostly who I still am.
Thank you to my dad for allowing me his workspace to record. I hijacked it while he was upstairs researching a gun and I think the smells of the gun oil and cigar smoke added something to the songs. I am probably the only one who will feel that way but thank you for that time. I'd also like to thank my dog, Pearl, for laying at my feet the entire time but not making any noise.
This is the most honest I can be and some of these were hard to get out. Thank you for whatever time you spend on this. It is no longer mine.
