No Stars 03:22
lyrics
buy track
Everything in time makes sense till it doesn’t I thought it was love till he told me it wasn’t It’s cold all alone and he felt just like home The horizons to far and there ain’t no stars above it It was just last night he came to me sweetly He said he had given his whole heart completely But it was not mine to own, I had it on loan And just like a caged bird I need you to free me He found him a girl who didn’t make him feel small She’s strong and she’s sure and not like me at all With her virtues intact, she ain’t holdin' him back From a life with a backyard and fine alcohol So I’m lyin' here feelin' like it’s judgement day I hear horns blowin' but I chose to stay I’ll pay what I owe to the devil I know Resigned to my fate to keep the good ones away Everything in time makes sense till it doesn’t I thought it was love till he told me it wasn’t It’s cold all alone and he felt just like home The horizon’s too far and there ain’t no stars above it

Zeros and Ones 03:51
lyrics
buy track
Silently speaking in zeros and ones Heads bowed down like the mind weighs a ton Engrossed in another world made of silver and chrome Buzzing and humming like freshly programmed drones When they pull back it seems that life has returned Taking in sights and sounds to reaffirm That indeed we are human of soft flesh and bone Unique and the same, both nuanced and cloned I’m not cynical though, you should know that about me I think the lines will blur indefinitely I accept the uncertain, I don’t know what’s right But I know not to let the zeros and ones in at night The weight presses down, the tapping continues To find those zeros and ones that haven’t been used We lean heavy on this automated crutch Time taunts us, the ultimate judge

Now I’m flipping coins when I’m tipsy Jesus believers taking trains to Poughkeepsie Following omens like a lonely ghost On a the train by the river where the spirit goes Jackie got tickets to see dead and co Trad told me that he can’t go No, no He did a little too much methadrone Trad told me that he can’t go Thought he was God in a cul-de-sac He sent a suicide emoji and I never texted back I heard he’s working for his Dad up in Hackensack He’s not never coming back Now I’m flipping coins over Pixies Jesus believers taking trains to Poughkeepsie Following Omens, like a lonely ghost On a train by the river where the spirit goes On a train by the river where the spirit go On a train by the river where the spirit Heads Tails Heads Tails Call it in the Call it in the air Heads Tails Heads Tails Call it in the air

I won't be 'round this old town Anymore for a long long time Gonna hit the road and start looking for the end of that long white line Gonna hit the road and start looking for the end of that long white line I woke up, my baby was gone, without her I don't need no home Gonna hit the road and start looking for the end of that long white line Gonna hit the road and start looking for the end of that long white line Went to the bank to get my dough I don't care where I go Gonna' push this rig 'til I push that girl out of my mind If somebody wants to know What's become of this so-and-so Tell em' I'm somewhere looking for the end of that long white line Tell em' I'm somewhere looking for the end of that long white line New York City, Old St. Joe Albuquerque, New Mexico This old rig is humming and rolling, she's a-doing fine If somebody wants to know What's become of this so-and-so Tell em' I'm somewhere looking for the end of that long white line Tell em' I'm somewhere looking for the end of that long white line New York City, Old St. Joe Albuquerque, New Mexico This old rig is humming and rolling, she's a-doing fine If somebody wants to know What's become of this so-and-so Tell em' I'm somewhere looking for the end of that long white line Tell em' I'm somewhere looking for the end of that long white line I won't be 'round this old town Anymore for a long long time Gonna hit the road and start looking for the end of that long white line Tell em' I'm somewhere looking for the end of that long white line

Pull Me Back 04:45
lyrics
buy track
Twenty-two years old And I’ve got nothing to show I’m following some dark shadow Stuck out in front of my toes When I get down that track Pity and doubt highlight all that I lack And when I get down that far It’s awfully hard to turn back There I go again There I go again There I go again Pull me back Those stinging words he said Surface like an animal rearing its head I’m pushing them down, far underground I can’t seem to shake myself of this dread But there I go again There I go again There I go again Pull me back Indulging in good old self loathing Is a horrible way to pass time But sometimes those demons consume me Is giving in such a terrible crime There I go again

Nathaniel 02:38
lyrics

Like a wave cresting out at sea The shore was too far out of reach I imagine who you'd be A little bit older than me You'd pull up in your beat up car And take your sister to a bar You'd be a little taller than me Wear your heart out on your sleeve When hours late and shadows long You'd teach me how to write a song You'd show me all my favorite bands Ignore me just because you can You might even play guitar Show us all of your scars I hate that I could never know you But in my life I'll always love you
