Bigger/Better

Everyone wants it bigger and better
I want our burdens as light as a feather
I want to smell the salty sea
I want to be light on my feet
Everyone wants their love on sale
Everyone wants to ride the rail
I think it’s time we finally count the cost
Everyone wants a love that’s easy
Like and share but you feel lonely
I think it’s time we finally turn it off
Head down for this dopamine upper
Face glow, sleepless it’s a bummer
Instant feeling, virtual greetings
Swipe to give me digital meaning
It’s simple and fleeting
Everyone wants their love on sale
Everyone wants to ride the rail
I think it’s time we finally count the cost
Everyone wants a love that’s easy
Like and share but you feel lonely
I think it’s time we finally turn it off
But it turns me on

Stuck in the Middle

Stuck in the middle, stuck in the middle
Lost it a little, lost it a little
But I know I will find my way
Or should I live out the grind
Fall into line
I know that I
Let the dream slip
Let it drift to the back of my
mind
Stuck in the middle, stuck in the middle
Stuck between my past and my future like a riddle
All that I touch turns to rust, dust, blood
Even our love

Rat King

I’ve seen the blood moon beaming
I’ve seen the rat king writhe
All the wild creatures out dancing
When the pressure starts to rise
You roll over to your side
Nothing louder than your sigh
Let’s sleep this one off, dear
But I toss and turn all night
We’ve had deeper joy the past few weeks
And words as harsh as April snow
We’ve been searching for the Eucharist
But it’s the bitter herbs that grow
We been down this low before
We tried to swim across the Red Sea
The good lord wouldn’t calm the waves
He’s walking on water just out of reach

Sleep
02:36
|

|
I’ve been up late
Too tired to sleep
I’ve had big dreams
too far gone to grieve
I’ve been wishing on a star
that has died
All my coins tossed in the well
that has dried
The blood drains from my arms
They hang loose at my side
I can’t reach, I can’t reach
Too far gone to grieve

Global Man

I am a global man like you
I’ve already lost a few good friends
Who like a leaf drift on
The slightest breeze
I am a global man like you
But here I am and there you go
I’ve laid my roots, but you don’t know
Where to call home
Lets make these last few moments worth it
I’ve always hated long goodbyes
Spin the globe, there you are
A text away, but way too
we still collab, I track your parts
You wrote a song, a song about me
I’ve lost my mind while wondering
If what you find, wandering
Is tinder for these fragile nests
We call our hearts
I’ve lost my heart while wondering
If I can close, my split ribcage
I strummed some chords, you sang your song
then flew along
Spin the globe, there you are
A text away, but way too
we still collab, I track your parts
You wrote a song, a song about me
Fold the map, close your eyes
Picture me, by your side
I make you tea, we talk all night
we write a song, we make your record
Let's make these last few moments...
Let's make these last few moments...
Let's make these last few moments...
worth it

This was a band I used to be in as drummer. We has so many good times and we wanted to sound like Spoon meets Plus/Minus. I'm really proud of this EP and you can have it for free if you want it.
