Misfire 02:52
Darkness is coming on down the line, Have you been thinking to run like I have? To drift into the quiet to the other side of it, I’m sounding off like a gun in a mishap Misfire, desirable, Finding light in a pile of burning tires. Retire expired soul And let it hatch in a nest of stolen wires. All bark is growling like it won’t bite, Have you been hiding from jaws like I have? To shake it all up and bring it all down, Shove our ears in a casket, put them in the ground Like a misfire of desire Ringing in my mind like a bell growing tired. Retire expired soul And let it hatch in a nest of stolen wires.

Out Loud 03:39
I don’t know why I can’t do the dance, When I know time is of the essence. When numbers weigh my hook to the floor, I catch myself and wince when the sun pours in Where the wind blows, I can’t abide. What my head knows, I can’t turn into lies. When the feeling glows And the heartache grows, I hope to weed out the stray, Among the truths that I don’t say out loud. I want to turn off anything on again, Telling myself things could be different If we just had time to fold our minds in See the flop, turn in our cards, and keep our thoughts hidden. Where the wind blows, I can’t abide. What my head knows, I can’t turn into lies. When the feeling glows And the heartache grows, I hope to weed out the stray, Among the truths that I don’t say out loud. Honey when the wind blows, Hives fall down, Out loud it’s spoke Before it’s thought about.

Burning fumes, trying to keep my idle, Feeling doom, but I fake a smile Every single night slowly hides from the day, But all I want from life is to have it my way. With my patience running thin, I’ve burned through my wick, I see you the same, I feel you changing. Clenching my teeth, trying to keep my mouth shut In my dreams, I’m regressing to a mutt Every feeling brought in starts out as a stray That you’ve gotta calm down and domesticate With my patience running thin, I’ve burned through my wick, I see you the same, I feel you changing. And whatever you’re trying to be, I’ll see right through the blinds to something more. I see you the same, I feel you changing.

about

In August 2023, we went up to my grandfather's barn and recorded some songs we were working on. No phone service in the Allegheny National Forest. Dozens of saddles in the rafters.
