My Own Way 02:26
lyrics
buy track
I’m a coaster by nature A classic imitator And I drive my baby crazy Cuz he knows I’m just lazy Don’t know where it all comes from Words, music and rhythm Most times it don’t come at all I think I’m failing after all I keep gettin’ in my own way Cuz I never feel lonely Pretty soon they’ll disown me I gotta let it all out I wonder if I’m used up Not funny or smart enough Keep talkin' bout the same old shit There’s gotta be a little more than this Can’t keep it all bottled in Creates a bitter carbonate And it’s all stoppered at the top I just need to screw it off Keep gettin’ in my own way Cuz I’m feeling kinda happy And I don’t wanna feel guilty I gotta let it all out I’m a coaster by nature But I could try to elevate ya And I know my baby loves me Cuz he makes me feel holy And I’ve been actin’ all mixed up Sittin', waitin' for some good luck But I’m ready to make it real Get some work for the way I feel I’ll start carvin' out my own way I said I’m happy not boring If you don’t like it then ignore me I gotta let it all out I’ll stop gettin’ in my own way I’m not afraid of bein’ lonely And not a one of you own me I gotta let it all out

What I Remember 03:23
lyrics
buy track
I could tell you that I’ve missed you These six months since you went away I could say I long to kiss you And wish I’d begged for you to stay But I’d be lying to say either The sun shines brighter every day What I remember Is emptied bottles in the afternoon And long Decembers Self medicating by the winter moon Then you turned on me when springtime came And your empty life stared back at you What I remember What I never can forget Backhanded compliments Barbed wire keeping me in check Did you think that if you weren’t there My whole life would be a wreck? I hear you sighing, baby I know you’re lonesome and I can tell I hear you crying, baby And I hope your conscience serves you well But when you whisper that you miss me You’d better keep it to yourself

South Fourth Street 04:36
lyrics

Walkin’ down Weir Lane Under a dusky warm sky One foot in the shoulder The third week of July The air is clearer here Than back out in Queens I know every inch of this place Better than anywhere I’ve been And that house on South Fourth Street Will get you feelin’ alright Come on in, my friend You’re kin for the night There’s pictures on the walls Of sandy haired kids beamin Hayden’s playing pool In the front room with Eamonn And Tray’s in the kitchen She’s dancing to Lucinda It’s such a simple sweet love Like a cone of vanilla And that house on South Fourth Street Will get you feelin’ alright Come on in, my friend You’re kin for the night Be who you are And lay it all bare Let the neighbors ask What they’re building in there And that house on South Fourth Street Will get you feelin’ alright Come on in, my friend You’re kin for the night

Pretty Good 03:14
lyrics
buy track
I got a friend in Fremont He sells used cars, ya know Well, he calls me up twice a year Just ask me how'd it go “Pretty good, not bad, I can't complain But actually everything is just about the same” I met a girl from Venus, and her insides were lined in gold Well, she did what she did said "How was it, kid?" She was politely told "Pretty good, not bad, I can't complain But actually everything is just about the same." Moonlight makes me dizzy Sunlight makes me clean Your light is the sweetest thing That this boy has ever seen Molly went to Arkansas, she got bit by Dobbin's dog Well, she was doing good till she went in the woods And got pinned up against a log “Pretty good, not bad, she can't complain Cause actually all them dogs are just about the same” Moonlight makes me dizzy Sunlight makes me clean Your light is the sweetest thing That this boy has ever seen I heard Allah and Buddha were singing at the Savior's feast And up the sky and Arabian rabbi Fed Quaker oats to a priest “Pretty good, not bad, they can't complain Cause actually all them gods are just about the same” “Pretty good, not bad, I can't complain Cause actually everything is just about the same”

I'm Doing Great 02:11
lyrics

You're over me, I'm over you There's nothing about you that could make me feel blue I gave you all, you gave me nothing It doesn't even matter cuz you know I was bluffing I'm doing great, oh I'm amazing My mind is a mess but I guess I'll embrace it I'm feeling grand, I'm doing fine I'm wasting every minute of my precious time I left you cold, but you invite it When you lock up your soul, boy, you know you incite it I don't need you, you don't need me I definitely don't think about you endlessly I'm doing great, oh I'm amazing My mind is a mess but I guess I'll embrace it I'm feeling grand, I'm doing fine I'm wasting every minute of my precious time For every truth, you told ten lies But don't you think you're the reason for the tears that I cry I wanted love, you weren't offering But who said loneliness was such a bad, bad thing? I'm doing great, oh I'm amazing My mind is a mess but I guess I'll embrace it I'm feeling grand, I'm doing fine I'm wasting every minute of my goddamn time

Summer 03:13
lyrics

You came into the house with a towel at your waist Asked if I wanted you now, or if I could wait You led me down the street with the sunkissed pines Always knew you would go and leave me behind It’s better to love and lose, at least that’s what they say You came to love and I came to lose, left in this faded summer day I came to lose I came to lose I came to lose I came to lose These summer blues These summer blues

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

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
