These Streets 03:46
lyrics
buy track
You never knew you only heard about these streets And the capitals and lower cases seemed to be unique She opened up her eyes, made you feel complete Walked away and shut the door, before you could even speak It’s the panic on the street She’s gonna get you good Trying to make ends meet She’s gonna get you good You’re feeling like a creep She’s gonna get you good It’s Ghosts that help her sleep Hey, wait up now, what you doing, where you going, where you live? Say now, what you doing, where you going, where you been? You never knew you only heard about these streets And there is no business like your business that never sets you free She opened up her eyes, made you feel complete Walked away and shut the door, you’re restless, dumb and weak It’s the manic on the street She’s gonna get you good You’re thinking “it was me” She’s gonna get you good You’re feeling like a creep She’s gonna get you good You hope she lets you sleep All strung out on lust, have you had enough? These streets are push and shove, we push, you shove Push, Shove, Love, Blood, haha, haha, not enough... Hey, wait up now, what you doing, where you going where you live? Say now, what you doing, where you going where you been? It’s the panic on the street She’s gonna get you good Trying to make ends meet She’s gonna get you good Feeling like the creep She’s gonna get you good It’s ghost’s that help her sleep

Wandering Girl 04:35
lyrics
buy track
Listen friend, I saw it in the window And your new colors show real well And I can tell that this one’s gonna be good, right? Well I know I left your brushes dry for a while And I know that for some time, you had me on trial But I’m glad it’s you and your easel again, sitting naked on the porch swing Painting flowers in the breeze. Will he pose for you? And take off your clothes for you? Can he hear the pain? Will he make it rain? Can he feel the same? I will not be ashamed… I felt the rush of an angel and I as a mortal, felt my weight lessen as I entered her portal. And I’ve been spoiled by this creature. By the Wandering Girl… As I stand, sit, sat on this bench, poking holes to see through this fence, broken words that do not make sense, spoken word as a line of defense. And now that she’s gone… I am glad it’s you and your easel again sitting naked on the porch swing Painting flowers in the breeze. Will he pose for you? And take off your clothes for you? Can he heal the pain? Is he soft like rain? Just promise me, remain. Remain yourself, my dame.

Keeping the Grip 03:52
lyrics
buy track
Your feelings stay high like a second wind when you didn't need one Your hands keep tight as the words you heard replay again And it creeps into the day The sounds that break away You know you've heard before But nothing stops you… Why is it so hard to let go? Try to just release, your mind won't… Why is it so hard to let go? Just keeping the grip on what you thought you had your hands on The lessons you learn even though they burn, your fist remains strong As it creeps into your day The sounds that break away You know you've heard before But nothing stops you… Why is it so hard to let go? Try to just release, your mind won't… Why is it so hard to let go?

Run Away 03:47
lyrics
buy track
To say, you don't need anyone; you don't need me And on this day, it sticks with me, like modern history And I’ll just stay even though you turn on me I can’t believe I don't, run away… If I run away will my spot be saved? Or will it be filled by the next one, wouldn't that be a shame? It’s just depression, I am guessing, please let me explain? Where is the only place I’m safe? To know your eyes, they don't see anyone, they don't see me And I keep hesitating looking for a sign I can’t believe I don’t run away… If I run away will my spot be saved? Or will it be filled by the next one, wouldn’t that be a shame? It's just depression, I am guessing, when will it go away? Where is the only place I’m… If I run away will my spot be saved? Or will it be filled by the next one who calls your name? It’s just depression, I am guessing, it can’t be erased Where is the only place I’m safe?

That's What Scares You 03:18
lyrics

It’s funny how we go, funny how we end up down this road to somewhere Then we seem to just go nowhere It’s funny how we go, funny how we end up down this road and knowing We were told, to just let go I for one would like to make this work, I would do anything for you And that's what scares you It’s funny how we're broke with he said/she said spendings, sayings so Sounds spoken, feelings low, the ups in drovings It’s funny how we know, funny how when we try to lay low, and find out Tales were told, the sell, then sold I for one would like to make this work I would do everything for you and that's what scares you Far and wide beyond these eyes no fear inside I would do everything for you, all these things for you, feel me now… It’s funny how we go… I for one would like to make this work I would do anything for you and that's what scares you Far and wide beyond these eyes, no fear inside… It’s My Heart, It’s My Heart, It’s my heart It's funny how we…

Infraguy 03:53

Infraguy, How many lights up in the sky? Mood alone, how many tries to be someone? You take your time to ease your mind when all feels lost there is… There is no cause for concern, you're shining bright over everyone Another false alarm, has you feeling like you don’t want to Cold and scared, when it's brand new you're unprepared Midnight glare, you don’t come down, feels safe up there Shimmer on, all drowned out, silence is gone Closing eyes, what once was new, is now deprived You take your time to ease your mind when all feels lost there is… There is no cause for concern, when the few speak louder than anyone Another false alarm, has you feeling like you don’t want to Louder than anyone else's Stay, away, for me Stay awake over me

Lift You Up 04:21

You have had a bad day, it couldn't get much worse You put your car in overdrive, all you get is reversed But you'll be on your way to me, it's my mission to Lift You up, Lift You up, Lift You up, Lift You up You are stuck in the middle, you're only halfway there You put your soul against the brigades, as if you had a spare And you will find your way to me, and not to mention I will Lift you up, Lift you Up, Lift You Up, Lift You up Lift you up, Lift you Up, Lift You Up, Lift You up You are learning to pave your way, starting to detach You put your feet back on the ground, then you trip on a crack You'll be on your way to me, so I can lift you up Lift you up, Lift you Up, Lift You Up, Lift You up Lift you up, Lift you Up, Lift You Up, Lift You up

Electric Feeling 06:09
lyrics

The ceilings low, no signs of virga Look at the glow, it is all in all supernatural, plainly a sight to behold… I see lightning and it’s you that strikes me I hear thunder, as my heart beats on and on and on I see flashes of brilliance that you carry It's over in the distance and always seems to make me feel this… Electric feeling, you only give me Helps in dealing, with this pain inside of me So we finally meet up, I get taken out You're very close not far away from me I am struck And if I seem nervous I’m not, it's just, this feeling has made my day I feel wonder, as the shadows are passing over me I hope it lasts forever, I hope it clings, I hope it brings me this… Electric feeling, you only give me Helps in dealing, with this pain inside of me So we finally meet up, I get taken out You're very close not far away from me I am struck And if I seem nervous I’m not, it's just this feeling has made my Electric feeling, you only give me Helps in dealing, this pain inside of… Me, me, me…

about

This will be the first album in which my newly added band members played on. I feel this album is special, largely in part because of the many barriers we faced along the way. We all have full-time jobs, we all don't have too much money, yet we pulled off an incredible sounding album. This album took over 2 years to make and there are many factors to why this took so long. The two main factors being money and time. I am not wealthy by any stretch and I work 2 jobs. I also wanted to record an album without any time constraints. I wanted an album where I can truly say that my best effort was put into it. I can only now hope that it connects to people.

Most of the songs were reconstructed and written years ago. I wanted to take the songs I wrote and be as critical as I could with them. I wanted to receive the harshest feedback because I wanted them to be better than they were. I achieved that to the best of my knowledge with this album. Having music industry big-shots would have been amazing to help with this process. That was not possible due to lack of money and current fame. Upon the completion of this album, the over 2 years it took to create, and feeling like I've been through so much creating it, I couldn't help but to think of the many people that have been through so much more and yet they are still standing and pressing on. The question I would ask them is: "Regardless of Everything, Are You Okay?"
