Track Four: How to Sail the Atlantic Alone

Available Now: Free Download | iTunes | Vinyl

I wasn’t working because I was distracted by the fleeting life

It wasn’t on purpose but I wasn’t happy,

more like a state of mind

Living within my own head

It’s dusk, it’s dawn and then again

And over and again

I’ve been waiting around treading water 

and i’ve found that most of the love. 

It comes from underground just look at the signs

They’re easy to see. Just open your eyes. Just open

If your love’s a labor you’re faking emotion, you’re wasting time

Love isn’t labor, love is an ocean running free and wild

You’ve got that way about you

You’ve got that long, long, long blonde hair

and if you want to dye it red

it’s alright with me

Track Three: Inner Child

Available Now: Free Download | iTunes | Vinyl

I stamp around to show you that i’m mad enough to hold my breath.

How would you describe the way you felt when you were young?

Was it tragically disturbing or the height of all you’ve known?

Where you always inside early? 

Or were you drifting around with your friends?

I was always at home.

I wish I was I wish I was a kid!! 

I wish I was a little stupid kid!

My inner child is raging wild and crawling out my skin.

It’ll devour all my manners till there’s nothing to defend.

It’s hoping i’ll give in. It feels so deliberate. 

It wants to fucking scream.

It needs a chance to breath.

Track Two: Can’t Expect

Available Now: Free Download | iTunes | Vinyl

Everything I do is wrong, like racing to be in your arms

Should I just stop? Should I just stop?

But you can’t expect me to know what to do

But you can’t expect me to say it’ll never happen

Everything I do is wrong,

You can’t blame me, you can’t blame me at all. What’s the use

But you can’t expect me to know what to do.

But you can’t expect me to say it’ll never happen.

It’ll never happen, it’ll never happen again.

And if I get a chance, will you leave it by a light.

At which point i’ll return, when the sun has set.

Track One: Silver Lake

Available Now: Free Download | iTunes | Vinyl

I’m glad we’re not afraid to move so far away

we’ll be alright. what will be, will be

And if i’m going to live in a valley, I want to wake up to smell the sea

Making music with my friends

Plus you and Dali can come

We’ll never go where you can’t follow for long

We’ll all live in silver lake

We’ve always wanted to leave this town

We’re working on it

It’ll take a while, but we’ll all live in silver lake

Tonight I realized you’re no good for me
Just like they’ve been saying
We were never meant to be
I tried so hard to show you everything
You didn’t want to see
You’d only give to you who you need
And now I feel I’m wasting my time on you
I open my eyes to see my own life
What the hell was I thinking?

I’ve been running around in circles
You could’ve pulled me out
Oh why didn’t you pull me out?
And I’ve been waiting on you for so long
But you had to let me down
Oh why did you let me down?

I’ve got no regrets only my goals
And trusting you has shown I’m better off alone
I’d spend more time waiting for things
To change but you’re already gone
I wish you would of let me know
And now I feel I’m wasting my time on you
I open my eyes to see my own life
What the hell was I thinking?

I’ve been running around in circles
You could’ve pulled me out
Oh why didn’t you pull me out?
And I’ve been waiting on you for so long
But you had to let me down
Oh why did you let me down?

I never thought we’d grow apart
I never felt a change of heart
You wore me down and let me go
I feel like you’re running away
I feel like I am on the chase
Just to say what’s on my mind

I’ve been running around in circles
You could’ve pulled me out
Oh why didn’t you pull me out?
And I’ve been waiting on you for so long
But you had to let me down
Oh why did you let me down?
