Golly Dang 01:44
lyrics
Golly dang and gosh and shucks I’m doing might fine today And so are you and that’s perfect news I wouldn’t have it any other way Aint no time for sitting and crying On a “world done do you wrong” Perfect news I’m here for you And I wrote for you this song Put your heart where I can see it Don’t you know you’re beautiful? Golly dang, gosh and shucks we make it Hard on ourselves sometimes It’s nothing new I thought you knew about it Don’t worry you are gonna be alright Put your heart where I can see it Don’t you know you’re beautiful? Golly dang I think you’re beautiful Golly dang, gosh and shucks!

Means To An End 03:56
lyrics
The thaw the frost, the cost of loss The brand new start brings me back again The freeze then thaw, the closing walls Isolation heatbreak refrain Lessons learned from freezer burn The waste returns to the woods again While I am blessed in human flesh This life it takes no shape And though it freezes me I breathe to bleed again I find the seed in me, no lover nor a friend Just a means to an End The get together in stormy weather It never goes as planned While im a man I cant pretend Im other than who I am Whats beautiful is I think im cool Just let me pull a me Just a little space so I can retrace The man im supposed to be (Chorus)

Master Gold 02:40
lyrics
If I appear emotional It is money that makes me so Worried about nothing Ain't nothing really going on I am not exceptional It's the money that makes me so Working for a payment Taking whatI'm making and were raping time Thought I was the Master but I answer to the Gold I keep on working faster but the bastards want my soul I am not incapable It would be money that would make me so Id rather plant seeds, than doing things to eat Id rather wear out my body doing something Meaningful I am not responsible And no amount of money could make it so No more breaking for mistaking placement of my worth No more writing songs with money in the verse Thought I was the Master but I answer to the Gold I keep on working faster but the bastards want my soul If I appear emotional It is money that makes me so Worried about nothing Ain't nothing really going on

Know It So Well 02:31
lyrics
Darling I love the way I'm living today The rest is left for me to know And I don’t care Love me or not I am not perfect nor you Darling I know the days Are moving along, some short and some long But you got the time to make the best of it all the best of it all You are your only wall And you know it so well Darling I love the way I'm living today The rest is left for me to know And I don’t care Love me or not I am not perfect nor you I am not perfect nor you I am not perfect nor you

Bad Missus 02:37
lyrics
You bet it all on how you were living You tried your best but the lord ain't forgiving And you're a mess cuz you don’t know why you're in it You'd give it all for the love that you're seeking Just to feel If there's a chance you are certain to take it To what regret should you live? Its in your hands if you wanna make You'd give it all for the love that you are seeking Just to feel You're a bad motherfucker I can tell from a mile away I have no doubt that you'll make it You give it all for the love that you're seeking Just to feel

Song of the Blind Heart 03:48
lyrics
What a love doesn’t exist? One of which doesn’t resist Two become one, how could it be? Something to say, nothing to see Wasn’t it off or was it just me Was it my offer? What did you see?? Whats on your mind just tell it to me Isn’t it love is something to be What is a promise what is implied When you speak to me of one by your side If that’s what you seek, then what am i? One of us has got it all wrong One, one at a time, only one Love, you could be mine I, its only me, only one Love, I could be blind What of a true heart, here in this world? What of a new heart call you my girl What of a blue heart wont leave me alone What of a blind heart looking for home What of a love doesn’t exist One of which doesn’t resist Whats on your mind? Tell it to me Isn’t it love is something to be One, one at a time, only one Love, you could be mine I, its only me, only one Love, I could be blind

Any Other Way 03:02
lyrics
Any Other Way (capo 3) F Am G Em Maybe I could have loved you Would be so bad What more could you ask for In a world of on demand You say you think you might have felt something You said it once or twice before But it seems you never answer When Im knocking on your door F Am G (x2) F Am G Em And it wouldn’t hurt so badly If youd just let me go But always find myself hanging Waiting on your call F Am G(x2) F G C Em Am G It could be that im diseased but I believe in loving someone Honestly, I don’t think I can see it any other F Am G(x2) Way Maybe I could have loved you and gave it all I had but maybe baby youre not the only one who needs that so bad F Am G (x2) And it wouldn’t hurt so badly if I wasn’t talking to myself (Chorus)

The Phoenix 03:07
lyrics
The Phoenix D C D DCGD Colorful and crazy a bird in love Flying so high that he touched the sun And though his wings were scorched by fire It only further fueled desire He learned to walk before hed run And when hed fall it all begun Again and again into no end The phoenix he flies and dies to win (whistles) And if I don’t pretend to know You could find me going D Bm Home in the fire D C D Where I can burn the past away Home in the fire Where I find birth in my grave DCD DCGD Colorful and crazy a bird in love Flying so high that he touched the sun I am not he or what you believe I am just me and I rise above (whistles) And if I don’t pretend to know You could find me going Chorus Verse out

Nevermore 01:48
lyrics
G D Em F Sit on my hands and put my tongue to the roof of my mouth and I bite it C G# C# Cm Bm D# it tastes bitter, or like blood, and I've tasted it to often G D Em F I cannot deny truth but when it moves me sometimes I hide out C G# C# Cm Bm D# Like a perfect day when you're scared of the sun G# A Oh your painting the show You Summon a moan You might answer your phone Colors represent times And marks on your mind And lines on your face G D Em F I am not the perfect man I set myself out to be and that’s perfect C G# C# Cm Bm D# Ill never be him, ill never be without dying G# A Oh the pain in the show Summoning moans Got love on the phone Colors all through my mind Remind me of times and Put lines on my face A E C d A Let it go man you are going home G D Em F Sit on my hands and put my tongue to the roof of my mouth and I bite it C g# Nevermore! I said Nevermore! I said Nevermore! I said Nevermore! (end on G)

about

why not?

these songs have been around for a little while now
I havent recorded in over half a year
I had a quiet house to myself for a week
all i was otherwise doing was working
so i said fuck it, why not

and in regards to the quality, this may very well be my last DIY album

<3 thanks so much for listening! This is my life!
