Romantics 03:04
lyrics
buy track
Romantics can’t help but touch everything that they see Wasting every hour touching worthless things And I can’t help but question you when that’s all I see Am I just an hour or am I what you seek I know that I’m wrong Still my feelings remain strong Maybe I don’t care enough I don’t know what Am I not to fear you just because you’ve opened up Just because your open doesn’t mean that you add up Still I think that you Might have found your token don’t you use it up. I know that I’m wrong Still my feelings remain strong Maybe I don’t care enough I don’t know what

She Don't Care 02:58
lyrics

She's got time she's got time to wrap up tight Another reason she has to live every night When I ask her, is this all worth it, she laughs at me She says I don’t care I don’t care She says I don’t care I don’t care Its been so hard but that’s a celibate life Refrain from talking about forgotten nights I used to feel like everything was out Now Im not sure what this is all about She says I don’t care I don’t care She says I don’t care I don’t care She says I don’t care I don’t care She says calm down I say what now You don’t need it You can feel it I thought I deserved this Maybe I'm just nervous She says I don’t care I don’t care She says I don’t care I don’t care She says I don’t care I don’t care

I write my name Too cold to open with Its fall last day Too early to make this play How did I wind up here How did I wind up here In a field of nothing In a field of nothing We mocked we talked Always so dramatic A range of words Laughing cause we made it worse You tossed a phrase and now I’m here You tossed a phrase and now I’m here In a field of nothing In a field of nothing You need you create You leave and I wait I love being here I love being here In a field of nothing In a field of nothing

Inside My Mind 02:27
lyrics
buy track
Im not going to let these thoughts dwindle inside my mind I’ll make them real and finally watch the things indie my head I might have to reach those spots up high where my happiness grows now and I will gather what I need to get inside Inside my mind now Inside my mind now I might take my time. Experience all of the things i enjoy now and steal a moment of time before I get my prize Soon I’ll have it done I'll enjoy the fruit of what my efforts brought me and I will remember the moment I first got inside. Inside my mind Inside my mind

Junior 02:21

It seems like I have never known just what it is that makes them crow So I repeat the same old dockett Wait for them to let you go and Find a way back to your home Spend it wisely fill your pockets Being around doesn’t seem so fair Not being there is better than those stares My time is my time and it’s all I ever need It’s all I ever needed My time is my time and it’s all I ever need It’s all I ever needed I know that I'll never know Just what it is I want to show an endless quest to understand those years I admit at times I am quite torn Sitting here and watching porn Dwelling in these thoughts and pointless fears Being around doesn’t seem so fair Not being there is better than those stares My time is my time and it’s all I ever need It’s all I ever needed My time is my time and it’s all I ever need It’s all I ever needed I admit at times I am quite torn Sitting here and watching porn Dwelling in these thoughts and pointless fears I have to be like this for two more years I have to be like this for two more years

Paper Thin 04:10
lyrics

Blue blurs swallowed up by the sea Fading shades cast over me Where in the world can I be Where in the world can I be No not this not right now I cant remember how Was it always just like this Was it always just like this This world is paper thin Yet her heart breaths with dimension And all of the seas conventions, Seem to fall on this connection And although things are a blur And I don’t know how things were I know that she is my convention Fate will fall on our connection Islands in open green Planets in a cosmic sea It all seems so strange to me But not like how things used to be And creatures shout up from the depths Their wills their lives their dreams their deaths Their voices echo in my head Her voice too she's out ahead This world is paper thin Yet her heart breaths with dimension And all of the seas conventions, Seem to fall on this connection And although things are a blur And I don’t know how things were I know that she is my convention Fate will fall on our connection

Day Off 02:34

Ive got the day off and I'm sitting here whining Ive got too much time on my hands and it showing my skin is cracking up And I'm done Yeah I'm done with this waiting game its taking a toll on me Those flowers they rise up every morning They’ve got dirt on their roots but their still taking water up And I'm drunk Yeah I'm drunk but I've got still 60 dollars I know I know who I'm talking too I know I know I need to Please Please Let me know, where I'm supposed to go

Better Things 02:38
lyrics
buy track
Would you wanna run away with me Cause sitting here don’t seem no way for me I know, these cliché starts don’t bring new art to our new scene Could we move on to better things? When you and I are sitting here and I’m the only one who smiles It makes me wonder just how many tiles How many tiles in this goddamned ceiling id have to count, before they all came down, down before they all came down, down Still I think hope is better than negativity Despite all that’s happening you have to say you agree It’s wearing me down that I’m around town with nothing but me Could we move on to better things? When you and I are sitting here and I’m the only one who smiles It makes me wonder just how many tiles How many tiles in this goddamned ceiling id have to count, before they all came down, down before they all came down, down

The Last Time 03:08
lyrics

I like my eyes They let me see I can see them They can see me I know its strange Hard to tell from far away Don’t want to be put down So you claw and you claw for any ground It’s the last time we’ll see it through It’s the last time ill look at you It’s the last time ill read my proof and I just wanna read with you I like my ears They led me here I remember Times this was all I heard I felt things change Faster than my thoughts could hang And all those fun and games Tossed into this furied plain It’s the last time we’ll see it through It’s the last time ill look at you It’s the last time ill read my proof and I just wanna read with you

Feeling Fine 02:22
lyrics
buy track
I know what I said But don’t forget to get some rest The ceilings and the walls aren’t making me see the best Ive got everyone Thinking that I'm on the run Ive tried to take the time and say I wouldn’t do it anyway I know you have all the answers But its not true Its not true. Because I'm feeling fine. Ive got a lot on my plate right now Not sure I have the time to figure out and ending route Theres nothing here to read into I promised them, I'll promise you If had anything to say I probably shouldn’t anyway I don’t need all the answers And its not true it's not true. Because I'm feeling fine

about

Two years in the making, this album saw a deep bout of writers block that finally ended as I walked out of college. Essentially the last piece of my adolescence the album contemplates a number of themes ranging from depression, denial and short sighted love.

In early 2007 i picked up a guitar for the first time. A few months later, i began writing and and recording my own original pieces. Now a 22 year old college student I am constantly looking for funds to upgrade equipment and new influences and sounds to experiment with. Ive been told I'm generally folky but I like to play around with many other genres. ... more
