i'm wandering my home again, while its 2am and i'm on my phone haven't been here for a long long time. the same struggle in on my mind. there's a mystery within the way that we walk, and the way that we talk is never gonna be the same again. marked up (don't have to take the high road) marked up (you have to lay low)

waking up again to another lousy emotion tyring real hard to stop this shaking in my knees. while there's despair in the air, i can smell it a mile away from here. there's gotta be a reason, don't neglect all other reason.

don't outgrow, those things that you keep most close to yourself. envision. the feeling of holding what you want, in the palm of your hand. don't look away. blocking, reason. help to find, a meaning. despite the generosity..but lacking everything in-between.

make out, like your not who you used to be. i'm taking measures to keep my sanity. i'm not who i used to be, yeah exactly! don't live in your dreams.

about

all these songs are from the past 12 months maybe a little longer. some have been revived from the dead, some have odd notes here and there all have me playing and mixing everything. i'm fairly proud of them.

I hope you enjoy your listening.

lyrics:

dreamation

i'm wandering my home again,
while its 2am and i'm on my phone
haven't been here for a long long time.
the same struggle in on my mind.

there's a mystery within the way that we walk,
and the way that we talk is never gonna be the same again.

marked up
(don't have to take the high road)
marked up
(you have to lay low)

foxtails

waking up again to another lousy emotion
tyring real hard to stop this shaking in my knees.
while there's despair in the air,
i can smell it a mile away from here.

there's gotta be a reason,
don't neglect all other reason.

fota

don't outgrow, those things that you
keep most close to yourself.
envision.
the feeling of holding what you want,
in the palm of your hand.
don't look away.

blocking, reason.
help to find, a meaning.
despite the generosity..but lacking
everything in-between.

mint condition

make out, like your not who you used to be.
i'm taking measures to keep my sanity.
i'm not who i used to be, yeah exactly!
don't live in your dreams.
