Now it's time to go catch the bus, it's past four And i'm so tired I can barely hold my head up Can anybody hear me? I feel like a failure, I seem to be here a lot Can anybody hear me screaming? Can anybody hear me? Now it's time to go back out in the cold, I am alone Can anybody hear me? Can anybody hear me? Can anybody hear me?

Come Home 05:14

It's rained every day since you left I'm starting to wonder if the sun has followed you away Wherever you are now, i'm sure the blue sky is watching you, smiling. Come Home... You're so far away, you're so far away, You're so far away From me... It's rained every day since you left For weeks now i've watched it fall through my window payne People filing by, everyone's got their someone But mine's up in Maine... Come Home, Come home... You're so far away, you're so far away, You're so far away From me...

This world is so dark I can barely see where i'm going Your name means grace You're a beacon of light to everyone around you The moon reflects your eyes, Oh the moon reflects your eyes, The sun is so jealous of you The sun is so jealous of the little things you do When i'm down The sound of your laughter makes me smile again When you're around I don't want you to leave I don't want you to leave This world is so dark I can barely see where i'm going Your name means grace You're a beacon of light to everyone around you The moon reflects your eyes, Oh the moon reflects your eyes, The sun is so jealous of you The sun is so jealous of the little things you do

Alright 02:48

I felt a sign, It seems a new day brought me Closer to life, why am I always lonely? I hold the phone, I know that she's not calling I fell in love, oh but it only hurts me Tell me that i'm alright, tell me that i'm alright I am alone, artists can paint my feelings the canvas bare, i'm cold and always empty I felt a sign, It seems a new day brought me Closer to life, why am I always lonely? Tell me that i'm alright, tell me that i'm alright Tell me that i'm alright, (You'll be just fine) tell me that i'm alright, (You'll be just fine)

Watchout 03:14
lyrics
buy track
Love left me high and dry, a bird with broken wings staring at the sky, you ruined everything All the other birds, are free to loop and soar I remain on earth, I pray for rain to fall And wipe them out of the sky. Baby, watch out, baby watch your mouth Baby, watch out, baby watch your mouth Sometimes at night, I dream that i'm on fire You're standing over me, but you won't say anything I remember a time, when I believed in love And when the planets aligned, you were supposed to be Mine Baby, watch out, baby watch your mouth Baby, watch out, baby watch your mouth

Comatose 07:16
lyrics

Say what you mean to me I can't hear you anymore The feeding tube, the IV Keep me alive enough to see you clearly Comatose, never blinking Thoughts never straying far from you I wish I had amnesia What's your name again? Say what you mean to me I can't make your words out for the buzzing in my head I'm thinking clearly now for once But the words won't come out right So I finish this conversation with myself Comatose, never blinking Thoughts never straying far from you I wish I had amnesia What's your name again? I'm tied up in knots, whenever we're together I'm tied up in knots, every time you cross my mind I'm tied up in knots, oh won't someone please release me I'm tied up in knots, Ooh yeah I am... Hardly breathing, Hands are cold to the touch Machines keep me, machines keep me alive I am... Hardly breathing, Hands are cold to the touch Machines keep me, machines keep me alive Comatose, never blinking Thoughts never straying far from you I wish I had amnesia What's your name again?

about

This album was mostly recorded while I was working at Krazy Al's Music in Cornelia Ga circa 2004-2006. I would spend much of my downtime recording music on my portable recording studio, using all the wonderful instruments provided at the music store. The songs "Watchout", "Alright" and "Come Home" were songs I recorded with my friends and bandmates in the local band "Garlington", we recorded the drums at my friend Trent Smith's house, and some of the guitar and vocal tracks were recorded there as well.
