It’s quiet on my street And the people around me Look like bodies packed and buried in their graves And I hope they find a way out before it’s too late The worms creep in But I call them my friends They stop and say hello in the friendliest tones And I thought I was alone But death is always waiting for us I can see my father’s face I can hear his voice sometimes He can still make me smile He can still make me cry On the curb into a phone I thought I was alone But death is always waiting for us Death is always waiting for us Death is always waiting for us.

I can't leave anymore For if I do everyone will pass before I get home You're filled with wanderlust But I'm filled with fear, my feet don't move like they used to 'Cus I've seen the blackness that can fill your heart And it's creeped into mine more times than I'd like Everyone leaves at the wrong time As if there were a right time to die But if there were I think he missed And left a lonely little boy without his daddy And if there were I think he missed it And left a lonely teenager to figure it all out for himself I want you to understand But at the same time I don't 'cus it hurts too much I want life to be easy for you But I can only do so much for the both of us And I don't know much But I know that I want to die with my hand in yours I don't know much But I know theres never a good time to die But if there were I think he missed And left a lonely little boy without his daddy And if there were I think he missed it And left a lonely teenager to figure it all out for himself

I don't sleep at night I don't eat right I don't think I'm living right without you I don't see my friends I don't see anyone I think I've gone blind from loneliness From loneliness I don't sleep at night I don't eat right I don't think I'm living right without you I'm locked up in my room I got nothing to do I'm just wasting away Today's just not my day This month just ain't my month And the next ones not looking much better Much better I don't write anymore I don't think anymore I'm surprised I breathe anymore without you But that next breath always comes almost too late and my lungs fill up with nothing I'm filled with nothing I'm filled with nothing I'm filled with nothing I'm filled with nothing ("Lovely Day" by Bill Withers plays)

You're a sheep in wolves' clothing Killing yourself slowly Killing yourself slowly Well you're out for revenge on everyone that doubts you But nobody doubts you So take all your pills Better crush them up faster Your demons get louder So take all your pills Grow up a little faster No one will know it's just between us I know you're scared I know there's no light in your tunnel I know it's all in your head There are no real demons in your closet Your on a firing line Praying to no one The enemy loads and aims his rifle You just stare down the barrel You don't even realize you are staring into a mirror So take all your pills It's all on your own time You do it to yourself You do it to yourself I know you're scared I know there's no light in your tunnel I know it's all in your head There are no real demons in your closet I know you're scared I know there's no light in your tunnel I know it's all in your head There are no real demons in your closet

I wish my voice was clear enough For you to hear in Cali I wish you could hear me when you sleep Because distorted phone calls Doesn’t feel quite like enough I want my words to soothe your wounds I wish my voice was loud enough To wake up the dead from their sleep I want to hear my father sing to me "Desperado" and "The Smoke Song" I haven’t heard those words in too long I miss everyone all of the time I miss those who are still in my life I don’t think I’ll ever stop Because I just don’t know what I’ve got I wish my voice was calm enough To let everyone fall asleep People are just too god damn busy But when I finally stop What will my last words be, Words from a song I wrote or an apology?

(“Are you happy?” “nope.”) In my dreams my friends are laid out on hospital beds In my dreams I see myself dying in car wrecks Between my sheets I get no sleep No sleep No sleep No sleep Between my sheets I get no sleep No sleep No sleep.

I can see my fathers face I can hear his voice sometimes He can still make me smile He can still make me cry I thought I was alone But death is always waiting for us.

about

A follow up to a previous EP posted on my old bandcamp. This was recorded entirely on a hand held recorder and nothing more. It's free, so take it dammit.
