Easy 03:25
Cities flying by Days and nights collide The gasoline burns Wheels, they're turning You asked for something good I gave it all I could But I'm growing tired Can you fuel this fire I always try to run Breaking down I fix it up I can't quit No I can't stop the pain Needle to the vein Pleasure dressed in pain The walking dead Scream in my head Still I try to run Breaking down I fix it up I can't quit No I can't stop the pain Never was it easy Letting go Never was it easy Letting go

Killing all the roses like you do Separating roots straight from the bloom Some things don't wash away Small wounds still leave skin changed No I ain't the same I ain't always true I'm still a ways from you Killing all the roses like you do Suffocated ecstasies exhumed Some things don't wash away Small wounds still leave skin changed No I ain't the same I ain't always true I'm still a ways from you Killing all them roses like you do Chewing on the petals Choking on the fumes Some things don't wash away Small wounds still leave skin changed No I ain't the same I ain't always true I'm still a ways from you

Angeline 04:24
It's what you say It's what you do It's what you are going through It's how you fall It's how you rise It's how you stand the test of time Angeline You could lean on me If you had to But you don't have to Angeline You could stay with me If you had to I would have you any day Tell me now Tell me true Tell me why fairy tales torture you And when you fall We will rise We can stand the test of time Angeline You could lean on me If you have to But you don't have to Angeline You could stay with me If you had to I would have you any day

Looking Back 03:14
Got your mind set And your die cast Run your flag up on the mast Stake your claim Stand fast All your wanting Left you needing All your green eyed days Left you restless in a cage Looking back You ain't ever gonna change Looking back You ain't ever gonna change Got your mind set And your die cast Run you flag up on the mast Stake your claim Stand fast All your wanting Left you needing All your green eyed lust Left you lonely in the dust Looking back You ain't ever gonna change Looking back You ain't ever gonna change

Vultures 04:00
Go on talking Split your lip All them vultures gonna loose their shit They been making halos overhead If you didn't talk so much I'd think you dead You just keep going round You keep going round You keep going round Get outta my head Get outta my... head There's no future There's no past No sweet repose for the bitter end Scratch your name, boy Into the whipping post I'm your life You my ghost You just keep going round You keep going round You keep going round Get outta my head Get outta my... outta my head

Said you was my brother Said you was my kin Said you was my blood But the blood was thin Thinner than the water you piss away Knowing all my secrets You sold me to the judge Now when he come to get me I'll be gone Gone but not forever You know I couldn't stay away I don't want to play these games I'm through Got better things to do I carried cross an ocean You carried after me I tried to live my life in quiet dignity But you know they wouldn't let me slip away I don't want to play these games I'm through Got better things to do Before you there was nothing Then there was the lie And the chase that lead to my return on the day we died You there with a bullet And me in a cage I don't want to play these games I'm through Got better things to do

For You 03:08
The turpentine Stripping off my skin The daily wear It's getting pretty thin Got a beautiful carbide, super natural glow It's never broken I'll wear it to the bone All for you We spark like thinners Suffocating in the sun Loaded up with the excess of exes' wrongs done Buried out in the backyard Like a doggy's favorite bone Never picked till we was left alone No, don't pick me up and put me down No, I'll never get over you

Long Time 04:03
Took a jackknife job For a quarter's raise Drawing second shift Every second day It's been such a long time Takin' such a long time In a world gone dry There's a full blown brush fire drinking the tides We're tied to the treads resigned We roll the dust on down the line It's been such a long time Takin' such a long time Some things never change Same old man Got a different face, different name Still the power blinds Corruption grows Our hearts divide It's been such a long time Takin' such a long time

29 & 66 05:06
29 & 66 All the streets went black They were burning twins 19 down All the snakes they creep in my brother's house In my brother's keep It's 10 and gone Now it's 15 big Yeah, we've tracked the pride And we killed the king It's broken We're broken It's broken It never works either way 1 was 1 1 turned 2 Now it's 3 and 4 divided through and through All the scientists and all the prophets mix You spit on one you're gonna hit the next It's broken We're broken It's broken It never works either way

about

This is an album inspired by 90's alternative. It was the music of my youth and the kind of stuff that set me on my musical path.
