Band-Aid 03:18
lyrics
buy track
I just wanna be alone so that I can feel my pain They talk about being human but everybody wants me to be okay I tried talking to friends, I tried getting high again But how can you expect to win when the love you had is dead You can’t put a band-aid on the wound I got last year Far off in the distance there is hope beyond the fear But it’s raining today and I can’t see behind the tears It’s raining today and I wish you were here Everybody’s going the distance, I’m just staying the same Everybody’s got an opinion while I’ve got nothing to say I just wanna let you go, I just want to say so long But you’re the only one I know that ever mattered more than a song You can’t put a band-aid on the wound I got last year Far off in the distance there is hope beyond the fear But it’s raining today and I can’t see behind the tears It’s raining today and I wish you were here I wish you were here I wish you were here I wish you were here

Lonesome Love All my life I swear I’m gonna young All my life I swear I’m gonna young When I finally show up you’ll all be grey and old When I finally show up you’ll be on your way home All my life I swear I’m gonna dreaming All my life I swear I’m gonna dreaming When I finally wake up I’ll be six feet underground When I finally wake up, this will be ghost town Oh, my lonesome love Oh, my lonesome love Oh, my lonesome love Where do you hide? Show me where you hide! All my life I swear I’m gonna be running All my life I swear I’m gonna be running When I finally face it, there’ll be nothing left to run from When I face the music, I’ll forget all of my songs Oh, my lonesome love Oh, my lonesome love Oh, my lonesome love Where do you hide? Show me where you hide! Show me where you hide! Show me where you hide! Show me where you hide!

As Far As You Know 03:43

I’m far behind Who’s in the white house, what have we done, this time? I’m out of sight Did I lose your attention? Or just my mind? Not surprised… I’m far behind The latest treatment, university trials, they try… You’ve got a flight I’ve got opinions, don’t matter much, just a crutch… I was good to you, I was good to you, I was good to you Oh I was good to you, I was good to you As far as you know… I’m out of touch You’re out of sequence, call it bad luck, what the fuck? I’m out of line What was I thinking, trying to find, silver lines… I’m far behind Put on a record, your favorite one, this time… Don’t tell me why Don’t stop the needle, until it’s done, I will trust… You were good to me, you were good to me, you were good to me Oh you were good to me, you were good to me As far as I know… Locked out from the inside - cast into the night I was the good guy - I lost the fight I’m on the wrong side of saying goodbye I’m on the wrong side, the lord knows I tried I tried To be good to you I was good to you, I was good to you, was I good to you? Oh I was good to you, I was good to you As far as you know…

Cancel Out The Noise 02:51

I don’t wanna be mad but I can’t help the way I feel But that’s a cop out, I’ve always got a choice I can’t cancel out the noise in my head I don’t wanna be sad, help me focus on the joy I’m trying to wrap my head around your heart But you are all the way in California I don’t wanna feel the way I don’t wanna feel the way I don’t wanna feel the way I do And that’s your cue I don’t wanna be coy, if I could cancel out the noise Maybe I’d feel like I am in control but you’re the only one I know That can tame the crazy thoughts in my head I don’t wanna feel the way I don’t wanna feel the way I don’t wanna feel the way I do Not about you, no, I don’t wanna feel the way Come on, take it all away That’s where you come in I’m lucky to have you I don’t wanna feel the way I do

Let Me Down Easy 03:53

Why must you suffer? Why must I watch Why me, my brother? But then why not? A dance with the devil just ain’t enough To dance with a you girl don’t make blush What’s got you down? Don’t get me started.. I don’t come around for broken hearts I spend my days laying mortar Some kind of foundation, make me whole again Make me whole Make me whole again If you’re gonna let me down, let me down Let me down easy If you gotta let me down, Let me down easy… I tried my best to be your savior In the end it was more than I could take The weight of the world was pressing on us When the news broke it hit me like a freight Take it all, Take it all away Take it all from me If you’re gonna let me down, let me down Than let me down easy If you gotta let me down, Let me down easy… She said, I know, I know you You’re blue, you’re blue all the way the through There’s nothing I can do I know there’s no stopping you, no There’s no keeping you, there’s no keeping, there’s no keeping you If you’re gonna let me down, let me down Than let me down easy If you gotta let me down, Let me down easy…

Don’t be so afraid, you know your safe, You know that I don’t wanna break your heart But I don’t always get what I want No, I don’t wanna break your heart But I don’t always get what I want I know what you’re after, you can’t let it pass ya It’s just something you have to try I know what you’re after, you can’t let it pass ya It’s just something you have to try I know what you’re after, you can’t let it pass ya It’s just something you have to try Baby go back to bed, you’re gonna be fine Baby go back to bed, you’re gonna be fine Baby go back to bed, I’ll try to be quiet

The Distance 04:48
lyrics

She didn’t mean a thing to me She was just an excuse to destroy myself She can’t even sing, you see Not the way your voice put me in a spell She didn’t mean a thing to me She was just the dope that I put in my arm Before there was dope there was hope But those days have come and gone And if I could I would, go back and do it different If I could, you know I would take away the distance Part of you has got to miss me Part of you has got to hate me Part of you still loves me, I know it I know it Another day has come to pass Just another day that we will not speak Another love that couldn’t last Cos’ I was careless, I was reckless, I weak And if I could I would, go back and do it different If I could, you know I would take away the distance Part of you has got to miss me Part of you has got to hate me Part of you still loves me, I know it I know it

Kansas City Lights 04:33

If I make it passed Kansas City it might as well be Spain If I come back at all I’m coming to collect my things They say the south ain’t worth a damn unless you are republican That, I’m just not ready to believe I’m sorry but I have to disagree If I make it passed Kansas City I gotta bring the dogs I will get a itching if I stay somewhere too long To them it makes no difference cos’ together we are home Watching from a distance, from the outside looking on Everything seems better when you wake up with a song I’m sorry that I have to disappear I told myself that this would be the year I’m riding out the rains I’m taking on the tides I’m making my escape Through the Kansas City Lights If I make it passed Kansas City I’m stopping off in Saint With Brother D. in Cincinnati, I got a place to stay He’s got off the weekends cos’ he’s working for the state university I’ll take off a couple dates, but if I get a gig maybe he’ll join me on the stage I’m sorry that I have to disappear I told myself that this would be the year I’m riding out the reigns I’m taking on the tides I’m making my escape Through the Kansas City Lights If I make it passed Kansas City it might as well be Spain If I come back at all I’m coming to collect my things

Gotta Be A Way 03:09
lyrics

My phone is pretty quiet these days My email is all full of junk My mind is pretty noisy these days, It don’t do it justice to call it a funk Am I on the right side of being wrong? There’s gotta be a way, babe And I’m on my way There’s gotta be a way To forget about it all My hands are pretty idle these days Except for the pencil, the chords and the songs My tongue is pretty tired these days of telling that story I don’t wanna talk Am I on the right side of being wrong? There’s gotta be a way, babe And I’m on my way There’s gotta be a way To forget about it all There’s gotta be a way, babe And I’m on my way There’s gotta be a way To forget about it all There’s gotta be a way There’s gotta be a way There’s gotta be a way

Leeches 03:31

When the lights go out and everyone goes home You stick around and flip through your phone Let’s pack the car with all this useless plastic and go for a walk Follow me down the road to the canal The water is just low enough There’s this spot I know, it’s my favorite rock Let’s talk off our shoes and see what else comes off And I will look at you like you’re the only one The river is calling us, I’ll pick the leeches off I think the show went well I think I earned a drink I danced my fingertips across your skin And wound up kissing you under the bridge There’s this spot I know, it’s my favorite rock Let’s talk off our shoes and see what else comes off And I will look at you like you’re the only one The river is calling us, I’ll pick the leeches off I’ll pick the leeches off

Work Of Art 03:08

Your feminist mind and my hormonal heart It’s a one of a kind, it’s a work of art I’m a bastard, I’m a master of nothing Here’s to after, you realize I’m bluffing I’m so horny I can’t think straight It’s clouding everything Won’t you send me another picture of you naked in the mirror? I’ll touch myself and laugh about how much I miss your body So set aside your feminist mind and talk dirty to me… Ooh ooh have I got loving for ya Ooh ooh you’ve got loving for me too You’re innocent mind and my corrupted heart The Thanksgiving wine was a unlikely start You’re a goddess, you’re the whole fertile crescent You’re the empress and I am just a peasant I’m so itchy I can’t sleep babe And you are on my mind But if I leave now I can make it down to Tahoe by sunrise I’ll call you up to let you know how much I miss your body And you say take it easy babe it’s early in the morning But I’ve been awake for thirty straight hours on the road And I can shake the image of you naked on my phone Have I got loving for ya You’ve got loving for me too Have I got loving for ya You’ve got loving for me too…

Everything To Nothing 05:16
lyrics

I was on time for once in my life, I had a place of my own We could get by on coffee grinds and avocado toast There was art on the wall and paint on the floor and alcohol in the mini-cooler I don’t judge and I called it sober but I would’ve been better off drunk She would twirl her natural curls in the fishnets she had on I would watch from a shadowy spot where no one would notice I charmed my way and took someone’s place, I reckon there’s a lot of different roles I played I was on time and I made her mine and that’s all I let her know She was everything until she was nothing She was everything until she was gone I got lost in the parking lot, the nurse said I shouldn’t smoke so much But I never needed to burn one up as much as I did in that moment I was on time in the waiting line, the ER sign said one at a time I could tell she was terrified so I told her shitty jokes They wheeled you off and I bit my tongue, Kissed your mouth and called my mom Paced the floor and cursed the Lord, I said, “You better know what you’re doing!” She was everything until she was nothing She was everything until she was gone So much for integrity, I guess I was bluffing She was everything until she was gone Until she was Until she was Until she was gone… Sometimes, child, it’s futile asking why instead of how I never knew what to say or do but I don’t have to now She was everything until she was nothing She was everything until she was gone So much for my honesty, I guess I was bluffing She was everything until she was Not Everything to nothing Everything to nothing Everything to nothing Everything to nothing
