When I woke up this morning, everything was fine I thought I had my baby, I thought she was all mine But now things are all strange, my life’s turned upside down I feel like a king without a castle, not even a throne or crown She loved me so tenderly Or at least I thought so But deep down I always knew One day she’d have to go But now that everything has been said and done I’ve finally moved on since now I know she wasn’t the one When I went into town, I saw her once again A shadow fell over the sun, then it rained onto my skin And then I was alone, as I burned endlessly I thought all about what I had done, as I drowned in the sea I grew up believing things that no one ever should And the worst part of that fantasy was I thought it was good But now that everything has been said and done I’ve finally moved on since now I know she wasn’t the one As I’m sitting in my jail cell Knowing I made my life a living hell And the people that I wronged just walked away While the vines choked all my memories And I died on a ship left out to sea My life just fell apart while the cause of everything was me They say everybody has someone made just for them So I sure fucking hope that I find mine before my end And now that things have wound on down, and we’ve finished having fun And now that everyone I know is dying on the rungs And now that everything has been said and done I’ve finally moved on, since now I know she wasn’t the one

There’s a world on fire Oh lord See the souls for hire Oh lord There’s a world on fire But when are you gonna come down? When I was a little child I stared into the sea And what I saw it drove me wild Until that ocean was me When I was a little child I never questioned a thing And as a result I’m always silent when I have to sing There’s a world on fire Oh lord See the souls for hire Oh lord There’s a world on fire But when are you gonna come down? When I grew up the next day My thoughts had grown so tall And my eyes they flowed in their own unique way As my skin began to fall When I grew up the next day The smoke it made me cough And now I’m melting while the clock ticks and tocks There’s a world on fire Oh lord See the souls for hire Oh lord There’s a world on fire But when are you gonna come down? As I’m lying in a deep hole That was dug with me in mind I look at how grey became my soul As my thoughts all rot and die As I’m lying in a deep hole I think of how quick I fell And how you looked away as I sunk into hell There’s a world on fire Oh lord See the souls for hire Oh lord There’s a world on fire But when are you gonna come down?

about

Two brand new songs that were both written in the past two months. Both of these songs were recorded in a single two hour recording session where my voice held up surprisingly well despite me still recovering from a terrible cold. Both songs were also mastered immediately following this recording session. Both of them were initially going to have much more extravagant arrangements, but I decided that I liked them better in this more stripped down form.
This is a standalone single, meaning that these songs will NOT be appearing on any albums or EPs in the future. They’re also bandcamp exclusive, so this release is the only way to get them.
In retrospect these aren’t my best songs at all and they could’ve done with a lot more work on the lyrics particularly, but they’re already released so I won’t be taking them down. No sense in rewriting history.
