Double Dares 04:25
lyrics
buy track
Oh the days when you Lifted me over your head Tell me why we can’t Be there instead What a day for a talk! Skipping stones on the dock Double dares on a walk Do you still play? I’m so glad that you’re here It’s been too many years Let me speak in your ear So I, Can know which way to go I remember how You left town in ‘04 Was it all because You wanted none of us anymore? There’s still so much to see Biking down every street Double daring me It’s all the same I’m so glad that you’re here It’s been too many years Let me speak in your ear So I, Can know which way to go Every house we pass Every joke you crack now Halts the words that come falling out of my mouth It’s been so hard to breathe I’m still gnashing teeth You don’t know how to be What’s my name? Are you glad that I’m here, After so many years? Not a tad bit weird That I, Don’t know which way to go?

Without A Laugh 03:16
lyrics
buy track
No one here is really what they seem The ceilings cave on top of wooden beams And all of them inside that little house Want nothing more than food and getting out I’ll throw a ball and see if you can swing I’ll play a song until you start to sing But I’ll be going home without a laugh Thanks to every little judgment that’s been passed To be a loving son The youngest one I feel you know it all too well Growing up by this is always hard A family’s love can only go so far I might not be here every single week But for you I can always bear to speak To be a loving son The youngest one I feel you know it all too well

All The Same 02:56
lyrics

Day by day Hemlock Lane Passed my way And I believe It called to me The people there Would stop and stare Their asses bare They watch the show Scream hello I love and hate it all the same With my body and with my brain Yes I love and hate it all the same With my body and with my brain Then one day On Hemlock Lane The screams all change I should leave I should leave It was nice Loving life I won’t lie But I should leave I should leave I love and hate it all the same With my body and with my brain Yes I love and hate it all the same With my body and with my brain

I Ask Myself Again 05:18
lyrics
buy track
It’s getting harder for the lot of us to live We’ve lost track since we were kids and moving up I know a year can be a bullet to the hip, A bee sting to the lip, But what the fuck? Where’s the good in being close and giving trust If all the love I give is tough we’re good as dead And now I see that every night you ruin your guts No one’s calling out your bluff you soaked the bed I ask myself again What’s it mean to be your friend? I ask myself again What’s it mean to be your friend? Oh you should hear the way these people say your name Applauding turned to shame for what you did And there you go tying up your little knots Like tying’s all you’ve got God save the kid I ask myself again What’s it mean to be your friend? I ask myself again What’s it mean to be your friend? I ask myself again What’s it mean to be your friend? And before the night can end I will ask and ask again

Lauralee 02:40

Lauralee All dressed in green My nightly dream My muse Never once Lost any love Put self above The truth Rearrange The palisades Our hiding place Say when Let them in Old friends and then Our next of kin I will never let you go then I will never let you go then I will never let you go then I will never let you go then

The Postman's Dream 04:23
lyrics
buy track
Free to lie To love, to hide And I made my bed Like you did that night Remember we, The postman’s dream? Before the band Took their leave If you don’t know me, if you don’t care It can’t be the air that brought you there And if I’m talking to a wall Pack my bags and pop the ball I can never love you again I can never love you again What’s mine Was yours An open door The one to keep, Hold, adore I’d love to hear Some input here Oh the ways You changed in a year If you don’t know me, if you don’t care It can’t be the air that brought you there And if I’m talking to a wall Pack my bags and pop the ball I can never love you again I can never love you again I can never love you again

Too Much 03:18
lyrics
buy track
Too much looking over Too much heavy doubt Big wigs in the bathroom Cocaine in their mouths Heard that you went fishing Caught yourself a trout I was at home waiting My baby wanted me to come down Yes my baby wanted me to come down It’s all too much for me It’s all too much It’s all too much for me It’s all too much Maybe I could call you Maybe not yet I can draft a letter One you’d never get With some faded laughter Questions I can ask All my nights of dreaming They will all still pass Yes they will all still pass It’s all too much for me It’s all too much It’s all too much for me It’s all too much

Fault Lines 03:52
lyrics
buy track
Too many times The fault lines Catch up to me I hope you see Go on ask away I’m waiting Have you noticed? I don’t know this Go on down to see The family It's time now Stop this clown Look at all the ways I’m hurting It’s heavy, Mikey How do you know the only way to make me cry? And how do I mend these fault lines? Well I guess my heart’s Still beating I’m okay Don’t go away All of this to know I’m five years old It feels like An oversight How do you know the only way to make me cry? And how do I mend these fault lines?
