I Lost My Voice 03:35
lyrics
buy track
Wait, how did I get here? Like a rabid dog I was screaming from the top of my lungs. Wait, what’s his face, what’s his name? I don’t know what damn words spilled out, or if I stuck my own thick throat. Cause I lost my voice. Is it cause I lost my voice? Is it cause I lost my voice? Again and again I make my own self loss. I think I just had to speed it up a little then slow down. I just got out my head, no that was enough. I don’t recall getting home at all. Talking of tales with whiskey in my hand, like bumbling, stumbling, ripe old man Cause I lost my voice. Is it cause I lost my voice? Is it cause I lost my voice? Again and again I make my own self loss. Tune me first, I’m waiting on you to know. How long, I’ve been wondering who you were. It’s been stand still, quick and simple, so lets just get this all done here They wont judge the night for just one drink, see if it will calm us down. Is it cause I lost my voice? Is it cause I lost my voice? Is it cause I lost my voice? Is it cause you are white noise? Again and again I make my own self loss

Writing Love Songs Is A Jinx 02:32
lyrics
buy track
Lovely bends do shake and break Knees do shatter, goodness sake Am I story book detailed? I'm split in two Hands do cover front of mouth To make sure I don't scream or shout Am I pawn, or am I queen? I'd rather play An unraveling bowl of yarn That won't make sense on it's own Contemplating answers new Indecisive Help me up, help me out, we don't need to figure out we are all on our own. Your another, there is no throne. Wake me up, get me out. Throw ten pennies in a well Won't be going anywhere Hands are tight with shivers still I'm yours to keep Can not tell my reds from blues Color blinded there's no use God, please tell me that i'm wrong I need some sleep Help me up, help me out, we don't need to figure out we are all on our own. Your another, there is no throne. Wake me up, get me out.

Don't Feel Bad 03:09
lyrics

I've done it again... I couldn't stop from speaking those words out loud I broke it again I promised to take care, but I can't I'm not strong enough, i'm not strong enough, i'm not brave enough, i'm not brave I'm not strong enough, i'm not strong, i'm not brave If you count from one to ten with your eyes closed, i'll be gone Don't worry about me, i'll be fine, i'll erase it all in my own time Don't feel bad This had to come to and end This had to come to an end Don't feel bad We had to come to an end We had to... Pick up the phone, a thousand calls, don't care about the noise Lost in mind, I take whats mine, i'm gone before it happens twice You had the notes and figures out, staring numbers so clearly in front of their faces Still didn't do, a damn thing Despite how they really sink their toes into the ground so steady Drinks are heavy...well the ground is steady, drink are heavy too So send it on back! ...send it on through... Send it on back Send it on through

In 1955 04:04
lyrics
buy track
And you’ll find carousels high. I’ve had quite a few, give me time. Deep in bed now. I burned my picture on my own, and forgot all that I was. So now, I’m a new me, with a slow dance in 55’. Our homes are running from the gallows, hearts are hollow. And feel unwinding thoughts so kind you’ll choke. When pills that drown inside are crying, “Babylon! We’re In Babylon!” Oh unraveling, how unraveling! All the time… And you dance so slowly. You know your routines all too well. You’ve been finding, all the ways to say farewell. You’ve gone by, reckless hidings all the time. Splitting mountains, with your petrified worried sighs. Pull me from the ground I’m buried cold in their gold Look at me a wooden toy so old… When banging loud noises is fair for the old, I’m rattled kin fucked off all our sins Oh how we wait, and were counting and drowning and going along For too long I’m a joke with you, I’m a joke with you We’re just jokers, we’re the jokers, you can laugh now its ok And we wont go, out our heads where it’s all true.

Dancing Over Time 03:53
lyrics
buy track
I go, sipping on my Jack, and knowing that’s its going, down to fast for my throat, but there’s something in the water eating my body away. Less talk, hide under the covers, wait until its over, for this all to past. I know, we happened to discover that we had no shot in hell. There is another life. There’s no way that it quits right here, on all fours, heavy breathing ,and manic. Losing all promise. We were dancing over what to call her, and now I’ve got time… Dancing over what to call her and now I’ve got time. You are, drowning out the colors, drowning out the colors, breaking all the quiet in spite of all. Oh god did my head roll off my neck, I didn’t mean… I can’t, listen to a single word that your saying, breaking my heart each day for what? Because nature happened to win us over? There is another life. There’s no way that it quits right here, on all fours, heavy breathing ,and manic. Losing all promise. We were dancing over what to call her, and now I’ve got time… Dancing over what to call her and now I’ve got time. And time, slows down, slows down And time, slows down, slows down And time, slows down, slows down And time, slows down, slows down And time, slows down, slows down (x2)

Elle L'Aimait Quand 03:44
lyrics
buy track
Belle, elle etait vraiment tres belle Mais elle n'etait pas a toi Je ne sais pas pourquoi Mienne, maintenant elle est a moi Et pour toujours elle sera Je ne sais pas pourquoi Mais tu sais bien que je t'aime mais je l'aime aussi Entre toi et elle je choisis l'autre Main dans la main on va Si bien ensemble, tu l'sais Je t'aime mais je l'aime aussi Entre toi et elle Y a pas d'soucis I have lost my grip Yet, I won't spite us no more Pretend, pretend I'll stop being young for good But did you think of me at all? Did you care from the start my friend? Or was I just an idea for play? Like bobbing apples or tossing coins that land on only one side? I'll say goodbye for good

Sixty Years Young 04:36
lyrics
buy track
Breathing in the skyline, sinking into place Knowing how it’s common to barter clean space Where you running to, and who you running from? The bulls in your head know how to really run Boy, you need, a pace maker Boy, you need, a pace maker Don’t hold breathe for too long now You’ve been under water, you’ve been under water, you’ve been under water long enough Hollywood lights they’ve never looked so fun I feel my prosthetics wearing out my head Cutting down ribbons, what a wasteful pride I’m hungry for a meal so I swallow up the air Boy, you need, a pace maker Boy, you need, a pace maker Don’t hold breathe for too long now You’ve been under water, you’ve been under water, you’ve been under water long enough Shake me up, I’m an American soda can Drink on down just like you would Quickly do a right till the right was wrong I had to do a right till the right was done..so… I had to break myself, I had to break myself, I had to break myself in my gutter, no one else. I had to break myself, I had to break myself, I had to break myself in my gutter, no one else. I had to break myself, I had to break myself, I had to break myself in my gutter, no one else . I had to break myself, I had to break myself, I had to break myself in my gutter, no one else.

The Loneliest Person In New York City 03:45
lyrics
buy track
Gently hold, no one’es there so quietly, scold Their bringing in the firemen to stop the fires and make sure everyone but you is ok You’re the last one served, for a cup of coffee nerved Their taking orders out the door even though you were the first one to even step in line And boy was that an embarrassment When storms did hit, you looted as a selfish wish And low behold while you were breaking windows, stealing televisions the cops saw what you did, and still didn’t give a damn And on your dates, you mentioned how you went to Spain. And saw for the first time in hours that boring look that came across their face waiting to reply And boy was that an embarrassment Don’t rely on New York City, you know why It’s in yourself, all the self loathing medicated trials that you create to get on by Stand, and choke, with Brooklyn packs of cigarette smoke To stop your youth because everyone may take notice if you seemed a little more mature So quit your ties, do not blame the city for cries Your only growing in the worst way possible and feeling like you owe something back But know that your enough Please know that your enough Know that your enough Please know that your enough Know that your enough
