supported by

deluded_marxist This demo is packed to the brim with emotion. A swirling vortex of vulnerability and self-reliance, which emobies its D.I.Y. bedroom-punk roots, complimented by the intimacy which comes from recording in such a naive setting. Favorite track: TV Free Week.

1.	I Guess 02:54	lyrics	buy track
You've been weighing down on me But I'm cutting ties and letting go Say goodbye without my words I'm feeling free, I'll let it show This was the death of something ugly. Beauty rotted, past its prime A fountain broken, left alone Not built to last for the last time Forgotten past grabs for attention Nights alone, weak, insecure I thought I had firm stance But I was lost on what's impure And I guess, I would have never guessed I'd long for something new And I guess, I would have never said I'm fine without you I'm fragments Of who I thought I was, what I want to be I'm afraid Of who I thought I was, what I want to be I'm fragments of who I thought I was, pictures of what I want to be I've been afraid of leaving for so long, but I know its time to go for me I would build us a house A safe place to stay I'd be sure as you sleep By your side I would lay And if it'd make you feel happy I would work every day I'd do all this and more If I could just hear you say I'm okay. Are you okay?
2.	TV Free Week 02:19	lyrics	buy track
Saturday night at 9 It starts to rain Its about this time I become insecure Tried swallowing sharp words Doubt rises, confidence falls I'm filled with emptiness because I feel alone. I'm so alone I feel disconnected from everyone I love I felt resurrected by a new sense of hope I fell in an old mix of sour emotion I found my desires but lacked pure devotion But if it grows on trees, I'll pick it for the seeds Plant on my own to grow the things that I need Bathe in the sunlight, rest in the breeze The sun doesn't shine too often, and we're covered in dirt to our knees Now my feet are soaking wet I just want to a place to sit I'm reminded of your voice Two consonant sounds in my head So tell me today am I wasting my time, or will you follow me wherever I go Wherever I go I prayed for some drama And you wrecked my house So just keep changing lanes Decide where you want to go when you get there But I'm not there, and I won't be
3.	Radical Larry 01:54	lyrics	buy track
For now you are a friend But in time you're just a name And tomorrow is a new day and a good one to forget I'm disconnected and sit rejected, waiting for a sunrise But people change and families grow I can't believe I thought this would last. You're waging war on yourself, you'll never win. Cause this time, you're wearing thin
4.	Get in the Prius 02:19	lyrics	buy track
Go to the beach Let me stay in bed We're away from home I live in my head Drape a sheet, close the blinds, let me hide by myself I've made a mess in my mind; things can't be undone Long drives that don't pay off Rethink every choice of the past year You were alone, raised in solitude, now first steps are foreign and language is new Relearn how to act if you want to fit in Rewind the months to make choices again Write a message that can't erase To make a change that's overdue Carve to mark emotions stamped Return to case, judge and review I watch the snow fall and melt away It never sticks Like the words that I say Cause you just forget That I've been alone with my thoughts for too long Everything I think is convoluted and wrong And I hate this part Cause I don't know where I'm going But home is not an option I guess its time to grow up For both of us And I hate this part. I hate this part. Cause it was your favorite.

6.	How Pecos Bill Cleaned Up The West 02:30	lyrics	buy track
In your shadow I stand on a cloudy day I feel the warmth of summer behind the autumn gray I hold these feelings before me as you take them away You open your mouth, I can't hear what you say If you wonder why I'm distant, I learned from the best Now I'm gone all night, and you know the rest I'm abruptly interrupted by destructive cynicism I'm adverse to all these things; I want constructive criticism I'll do the work on my own because I know you're inept But my back will stay free of your cumbersome load Incompetence and confidence are your gin and tonic Your sick logic reminds me again and again I'm alone. Why are you here? Why did you try? Your past failures pain Never learned how to fly Dropped from the nest With no knowledge of life Each branch on descent Let pain become rife Never fulfilled, seeking more than a fight Weapons at the ready, verbal warfare set high You're big and you're strong and you're not afraid I'm alone, not quite scared, but not ready to die
