Pretty Dead 05:15
lyrics
We begin. Never warmed up to the fire we just jumped in. No "hello, how ya doin, where ya been?". My favorite reason why they could never break our kind is because we bend. On a scale from 1 to 5 an easy 10. In the backseat of the desert hella hot. I've been waking up from blackouts quite alot. There's things we could've done instead of fought, I reminisce alot. Sometimes rattling your cage is all you've got. Pretty dead. Yeah, you're gonna be so pretty when you're dead. Then the rest of you can catch up with your head. And leave here with a quote from what I've said, or maybe don't instead. In the fast lane with your high heels made of lead.

Don't Look Now 04:08
lyrics
buy track
Crippled by my ego, I used to be confused. Drunk on my reflection and booze, yeah, drunk on that too. I seemed to loose traction as I went. Bad habits replaced all my friends. Try hard enough and you will find plenty to resent. They say it's just a means to an end. Fair enough, but what happens then? Set my spirit free! Help organize this tangled debris. You glow like an angel to me. It might be precisely the right kind of light for a blind man to finally see. Don't look now. The world's on fire. Over my shoulder it all looks so clear. I can read the writing backward in the mirror. I wear the scars of these harrowing years proudly, but I sent back the fear. Set my spirit free! Help quarantine my wants from my needs. When they found me I was down on my knees. The rest, as they say, is blistering history. Set my spirit free!! Help organize this tangled debris. You glow like an angel to me. It might be precisely the right kind of light for a blind man to finally see. Don't look now. The world's on 🔥.

about

This album is a work in progess. As I continue to sharpen my skills as a songwriter, and engineer/producer, and as a human being and resolve one minor to major catastrophe at a time, I believe that it is my primary purpose here in this life to enhance your experience sonically and maybe even philosophically. I would really like to believe that someone outside of myself will have the opportunity yo learn from mistakes I have made so that they might not have to make them. Or experience any other facet of life that I may be inspired to talk about in one of my songs without actually having to physically and/or emotionally get burned or traumatized by living through that particular circumstance or something very similar. It is my deepest musical hope, also, that one or more of these melodies may simply dance through your day, or through your life , as melodies did for me in mine especially when I needed them most, as a friend and piece of art keepjng you company and motivating you through the fucked up series of losses, loves, sicknesses, changes wanted and not, that become this journey. You may not have chosen much of this path you are on. I hope that you choose to make my music part of the soundtrack.
