just can't stop thinking about you keeps me up late at night with stomach butterflies swirling around love that i've got you in my life you are the one, at least i think you're the, think you're the one just can't stop thinking about you words, they can't express the way that i am now, since you've been around love, i've got you in my arms you are the one, at least i think you're the, think you're the one baby, it's been some years some times were good, some not so much never would i trade you for another girl you are the, you are the, you are the one just can't stop thinking about you

how sad 03:38
i can't believe it's tomorrow yesterday was a tough one to follow day before that one was a drag don't turn to look to a brother cuz we don't share the same mother i feel none of that shit's real we can all get by actually it's like trying win a bare knuckle fight with a wall actually it's like trying to start a riot with no one behind you at all actually it's just trying to make time at the end of the world actually it's just trying to survive as a regular person these days how sad how sad you gotta be to be seen?

not now 05:03
it don't matter if he likes it the way it is always falls upon the shoulders he calls his spread too thin, holding his whole world up heart tells head, but the man don't listen none damn, sit down son go and put your feet up now have a drink, and forget about what makes you feel old every day's just a setting sun with doors closing in your face while another one is opening there is no place no time like now i've lost my taste i can't describe flavor is gone chewing gum i find stuck to my boot.. it's like inside my head my space- the cloudiest days couldn't quite make a little dent, but looks a wreck big dreams of having wings but dreads leaving the nest scared to jump, cuz nothing's there to break the fall but he's gotta make his move cuz his tree's fucked. roots and all it would seem like he can call all his own shots but he always struggles to carve himself a spot laid every brick, but the tower's tumbling down heart told the head, but the man's deaf to its sound not now

old love 03:24
Lately i've been finding it hard to calm down need a breath - these damn lungs of mine- won't expand - if you're not around and so far, i'm so bummed out and so far, it's so far out the feeling when you left, also left a hole in my heart it won't slow down, but feels like it's stopped since you've been gone it feels like, it's been ripped out it's so far, it's so far out you never really realize it until it's gone has so many faces it wears when it's leading you on such a shame to think that some of us won't know joy of losing sadness and the pain of letting go old love but it's all love. try to keep the good things about what it was in my mind tried to envision it different so, so many times came so far, and now i doubt and so far, you're so far out no way to take it gracefully it's news the best of us couldn't begin to see how come when it rains it also pours? i know that in the long run i was never gonna be yours old love but it's all love

i don't care if i never make another friend people these days only care about their dividends makes me sound old, but there's just no more togetherness perhaps i am that? old enough to have witnessed it maybe i'm not the only one looking for an answer looking for an answer but i don't see anyone out there and i don't see anyone in here are we truly alone? i feel truly at home when i'm making it is the purpose for us tears? why the message so unclear? do we just make mistakes? do we just call it the breaks? is there a lesson near? it looks a goddamn mess in here. hard to see the floor now maybe we should all just slow down and take a look from where we're standing on the ground lying awake when i need to close my eyes and rest wondering which choices you will now come to respect would the things that i say - be better off if they were unsaid? i feel it's right to speak your mind more openly might make - things hard course less traveled ain't a kind one not always a kind one does it matter if we fight? the words exchanged, they never change your mind you should know, you crawl before you walk always will keep on trying to talk talking, fuck it.

make my waves in the chatter every day i'm taking some off 'cause minutes find me anyway 'cause i can't see myself being frail saw my day become night and i felt so failed and i give, and i give all my time away i cared until i didn't care to say dangerous ways are becoming what i am lame and down, though i'm still so young but i can't know myself so sick and tired a little break is what is required but i work, and i work all my feels away i cared until i didn't care to say what a time to be alive

i dove facefirst into glass for you yesterday i'd crawl on bloody stumps to you just to say you are more precious than jewels, but anyway you're better than everyone else... do i offer something in return you can't resist? then why at times does this dreadful feeling persist? i know you know me like i know all off your favorite things but do you hear me when i try to explain what i see? thoughts so loud- don't hear myself sometimes, like what the hell the voice is mine, but it don't sound like me, as if a dream loving language, is not foreign to me - all because you're better than everyone else... i'll make an effort if you do, babe i won't believe it until you prove that i'm the only one when i can't believe in myself won't you try? i'd make time to spend it all with you, before it's gone i'd try anything to make you smile, and that's for real love is rare, in this jaded world, and for what? you're better than everyone else... do i offer something in return you can't resist? then why at times does this dreadful feeling persist? i know you know me like i know all off your favorite things but do you hear me when i try to explain what i see?

scraps 03:37
i must look uncomfortable did i make that face again? still i must hold my tongue wondering if i can wait to fix the part in which i forgive you wait when you chose that you forgot who i was, babe think you've got me pegged when too much shit's on my plate and i don't much care for that stuck in this place and i wanna leave now when every thought is wanting to be somewhere - else whatever that means whatever the case i'm dead tired and my share is just the scraps same dream every night and you're always with him i'll give it one more try don't wanna do the same shit and i just want to sleep but i'm scared of what i will see when i try to close my eyes but i can't seem to hold up these lids days fly and weeks expire and the months go by yet i'm stuck in this place and i wanna leave now when every thought is wanting to be somewhere - else whatever that means whatever the case i'm dead tired my share is just the scraps

about

these songs are demos i've recorded (like ass) over the past couple of years that were never intended to be heard by anyone but me. i decided one morning on a walk through a park in my neighborhood in minneapolis that it was time for these songs to grow roots in the lives of others. i wrote them therapeutically while getting over some shit. anyway, when i re-listened to these songs it took me back to those times and somehow made me feel like even though stuff got messed up for a long time, it produced something in me that made me feel alive for a moment. i hope that anyone who hears this can take something from it. i hope you enjoy the music. i love you all.
