1.
Soon I'll be gone and you don't even know it What's wrong may be right at least that's how I'm hoping All the spaces that we made and all the times you made me wait The hate I try to separate from the joy I had from being with you Oh I wish you the best
2.
Can't Decide 03:16
It's not you that makes me go away every night It's a cloud inside my head, gets me every time right at nine On the nose Does anybody know Am I dead or are we all just different All I want, its either not enough or I can't decide I'd rather float around instead of following a guide blindly Everything can change Wait just one more day
3.
I might give up I might fall out or I might win Its a bunch of nonsense the way they make a big mess while I'm trying Say what you want tear everyone down rip it apart and toss it out out loud I might forget how to write a sonnet or I might live Rearranging problems Its lonely on the bottom of every life Go to a bar complain to your friends get in a car and do it all again There's a fire at both ends I'm stuck in the middle and falling in love with it
4.
Empty 02:16
Where did you leave your worn bible your sworn survival is lost without a doubt Under the sink you stand by for hours staring at the flowers thinking about yourself What do you want with me I'm a bottle empty and your so damn thirsty
5.
Honestly 03:40
Honestly honestly I think that I think I can Promise me the anxiety is all a magic sham The pieces that happen next
6.
Virus 02:48
The worlds gone crazy with news of the virus Nothing can save me the streets have gone quiet If I go outside it might be the last time Store shelves are empty the schools are closing Some of my family think that I'm joking The president denies what experts have advised My work told me stay home all my dates are cancelled When I called to reschedule all I heard was a dial tone If weeks start to go by please ask if I'm alright
7.
Nobody stays the same maybe we never change What keeps us from wanting more A window into your world Crickets under the couch we always laughed about Till ties couldn't hold no more Sometimes I stay awake just to find I don't know you anymore
8.
Pour more wine while you can Neon lights fading fast Soon the evening will be gone Tomorrow we'll be moving on All my love in your hands Every rose every dance A promise and a lot to learn A needle in the barn we burned Tall as trees ride along New Orleans in the fall Water up above our knees Magic in the salty breeze
9.
Appalachia 03:31
For as long as I can recall I've had a longing to be in the woods On a mountainside out of the public eye solitary voluntarily mine Every boundary disappears the livings loud and clear my Appalachian paradise home in the laurel rhododendron and pine if I can't stay with you i'll keep you in my mind my Appalachia The world wont slow down sometimes i feel like dropping out but i'm a good man and i know they're hard to find still i feel the despair that nobody cares that we're burning this planet alive you got to see it while you can before its all private land
10.
Where did I fall where do I stand where can I see the master plan While everyone was wasted I had tasted the fruit on the tree Haven't you heard the stories they tell the unspoken words of how the sky fell Empty of meaning the windows are gleaming an all weekend sale There's a bird on the wire with voices inside in the heat of the evening I don't want to hide This feeling is lovely and on Sunday morning we'll go for a ride I hear without ears I see without eyes I remember the moment I first came to life Neil Young was singing a helpless feeling still spinning tonight
11.
Sunday came and went she's on her way I have said so long so my drinking Same story with this in the end I'm wondering if I'll ever see her again Works keeps my working but it don't keep my mind off you Ive been looking for someone to tell me something anything that's true Like a good friend is hard to find and more than half the time they leave you Ive been trying so hard just to make it through another day Cause if nobody's home then there's nothing to make me stay So I suppose I'll have a drink take some time think and ease my head A good friend is hard to find and more than half the time they leave you I hope you realize nothing gets any better with time

about

These songs are from all over. Some new and some old. Some were forgotten iPhone Voice Memo's, others were emailed to me from friends who recorded them, and some are home recordings of baby songs that grew up on other records.
