Bo 03:17
bo, you sure talk -- talk as if you were tall but that's all that i hear so this is how it goes bo, if you could fit in my pocket why don't you climb on in till the mornin when i put an ole pair of britches on bo, you know where you been you know where you can always go
2.
how could i stay? how could i go? i ought to pack my things so i can leave before she is gone. how could i taste putting victory into play for us while we'd pack one in for me and we'd fire rounds off at God? how could i say? oh, how would i know? if we're putting plans back into motion, you'll be the only one left beside this locomotive. boy i'm mean. singing about while you're thinking it out. i got two friends of mine but i can't call 'em friends in time.
3.
this world never looked so fine than to realize that it's easier than to find a love like your's and mine suit yourself kid because when i die i ain't gonna be a taxidermy i'll just be done counting seconds on your idle hands.
4.
Very Vague 04:00
it's like i found you in the dark making honesty into words like me it looked sad from far away i'm sure when you met me how your face reminded me of the birds on her wrist dead skin they will soon be but still such a beautiful piece i remember when i met her the day those birds came around i was thinking how could she how could she how could she leave me with such sin
5.
oh, how it shows like the nails in a coffin you hide the marks on your face with the story beside them like you do with our love i may object by saying i may not live much longer than this when you see that man that fathers your children i want you to think of us folks and the town you were born in and all them songs that we'd sing and have ended long before this one as i may object by saying that i may not live much longer than this
6.
When I Die 03:33
take this to the morgue they're going to want more than this jus tell them that its from colorful and poor me
7.
World 05:03
all in awe with help and want in my hands i've expected shelter i've expected prayer i've expected love from someone i desire for twenty three years even these past six i have been held i have been scared now i'm ungrateful out of fear that you could always tell all of y'all's thoughts control my death and that all of y'all have gone to bed with words in your head like going to sleep i ain't getting a wink of shut eye in edgewise tonight of fear that you could always tell for twenty three years even these past six i have been held i have been scared now i'm ungrateful out of fear that you could always tell
8.
well i'm sittin on everything that is lost and i find my family and friends there - i wonder who they were as i sit and i stare because i thought that they were there for me and i think that if people do what they want to do then they are just who they want to be - i am exactly who i say that i exactly am. oh man. oh curse. awe, lord. so raise from the dead, come on back to life dad. life just doesnt seem as much fun as it used to seem before you were dead, back when you were a life. so get up and run, open up your eyes. come on back to life dad, raise from the dead. life just doesn't seem as much fun as it used to seem before you were dead - back when you were a life. i find my eyes there. i put em back up inside of my head. i look inside of their's to find that that was there worst sin. maybe then. oh, or maybe then.

about

These songs were written in-between 2010 and 2012. This release was intended to be a product test for the duplication company that LM Records used. It is sounds of a Yamaha G-55, several folks at Cafe 131 in Gainesville, FL eating and my voice.
