The Crash 04:30
Read between the lines on my face Behind the mask We are the human race Under a soft white layer of ash Sometimes it feels like the world wasn't built to last But you and I can make our case If we survive the crash The crash Next morning when the sun rises It's you and me and the cockroaches and love And that's enough Hold my hand underneath the bloody sky Through the gentle acid rain To a fallout shelter with a view Just big enough for me and you It's not so bad if you can keep yourself from thinking about the pain We've seen a thing or two Living through the crash The crash Next morning with the sun rises It's you and me and the cockroaches and love And that's enough It doesn't need to get better At first light there'll be four survivors You and me and the cockroaches and love It doesn't need to get better

The Fear 03:46
Let me know when the coast is clear Let me know when the coast is clear and I'll Find a way to get out of here I don't believe it, I don't feel the fear The fear Let me know when it's safe to go out Let me know when it's safe, and I'll go out in a blaze of glory Tell me when I'm free Let me know when it's ok for me to be I'm keeping the lights on I'm keeping the lights on All winter long All winter long I'm keeping the lights on I'm keeping the lights on All winter long All winter long Tell me when I can break bread Tell me when I can make new friends Push me onto the pavement Lock me into the prison of my consent Let me know when I can show my face Let me know when I can kiss my girl Let me know when you're ok Let me know when it's ok to be ok I'm keeping the lights on I'm keeping the lights on All winter long All winter long I'm keeping the lights on I'm keeping the lights on All winter long All winter long Once it's gone You'll never get it back Once it's gone You'll never get it back

Disintegrate 03:44
Everything falls apart Even father's break your heart I'd do anything to hold it together But I don't know where to start Solid ground disintegrates Plastic smiles imitate How the hell I'm supposed to feel I'm not sure you can relate No, I'm not sure you can relate People I don't recognize Claim the right to patronize Fear your neighbours, fear your friends Never get back together again Never get back together again In the sunlight, over exposed I was always safe in your shadow Indoors, out of the rain Watch it fall through windows Never feel it on your skin Never ever let it in Sun and rain, pleasure pain The danger is the same Never feel it on your skin Never ever let it in Sun and rain, pleasure pain The danger is the same In the sunlight, over exposed I was always safe in your shadow Indoors, out of the rain Watch it fall through windows

So much that you won't tell me So much that I can't ask you to I want you to get to know me And I want to get to know you I'm not afraid but I know I should be I'm no stranger to heartbreak, why should you be? Kiss me slowly, kiss me gently I'll kill you softly with a song Girl, lay that body down against me I want to sin beside you all night long I know we took this way too far The moment we gave it all away I promise not to fall apart Just tell me if you're gonna break my heart I'll wrap myself around you like the dark You'll show me every hidden part I'll keep your secrets, I won't sell you out Just tell me if you're gonna break my heart I know we took this way too far The moment we gave it all away I promise not to fall apart Just tell me if you're gonna break my heart

My choice or God's What's the difference? You and me are in too deep To play defense The night we met Everything was set in stone If they never let you in Baby, I'll die alone I'm not I'm not gonna stop I'm not gonna stop loving you I'm not I'm not gonna stop I'm not gonna stop loving you Time and space A twisted place You and me are face to face But not here Your birthday cards scattered across my empty bed You feel me when you don't smoke cigarettes I'm not I'm not gonna stop I'm not gonna stop loving you I'm not I'm not gonna stop I'm not gonna stop loving you We can't wait for them to set us free So we can start to be what we were meant to be They tell us that we're nothing, but we're all we've got They tell us that we're nothing, but we're not I'm not I'm not gonna stop I'm not gonna stop loving you I'm not I'm not gonna stop I'm not gonna stop loving you

Jealous 04:30
I don't wanna be jealous But I'm insecure When you're with the other fellas And you say you're turning up Oh yea I don't wanna hear about your little buddy With a sweet disposition He keeps you good company When you're feeling far from me I don't wanna be annoying in your phone Or leave you alone When you're out for a few with your weekend crew And I'm alone without you What's a boy to do? I'm no good without you I don't wanna be a memory, a fantasy A mystery that used to be You and me, baby can it really be I wanna be a part of you I can see a little house in a row When the sun gets low Baby you and me and he make three And that's a family You and me can cheat the system We've found love And that's a problem For the worst of them What's a boy to do? I think I wanna marry you What's a boy to do? I'm no good without you You and me can cheat the system We've found love And that's a problem For the worst of them

about

I feel this album is my most personal to date. Recorded in my apartment living room with one guitar and one microphone, there is very little here for these songs to hide behind. I struggled with whether or not to release it, but I felt it was representative of this period in my life (and our collective history) in a way that could be worthwhile.

I hope you enjoy it.
God bless, and thank you for your support, from the bottom of my heart!
