King of Modern Day Child Abuse 04:10
lyrics
buy track
Daddy's mind is broke mommy's on the floor my eyes are closed dreaming of something more. Strong hands they grip around my chamber of breath these bruises they fit so fucking perfect. We're a happy family me, mommy, and daddy. Repetition and hate so small at my masters feet day after day it's got me feeling so weak. I'm not good enough to even be used I guess you can call me now the King of Modern Day Child Abuse. we're a happy family me, mommy, and daddy.

An Unfinished Country Song 02:08
lyrics
buy track
I'm stranded out in this ghost town with no way to get home. I spent my cab fare on drumsticks cause I broke the last one I owned playing all that loud music disturbing neighbors who just wanna sleep but nothing really matters much to me. I walk these streets and I hang my head I don't look anyone in the eye. I gotta feeling that they all may look dead and I'm not easily surprised. Here they come now fast approaching a crowd of vampires looking hungry for some new blood to call their own.

Too Bad 03:28
lyrics
buy track
How do you tell a girl you wanna talk to her without idle words? I highly believe I'll die when I'm 33, yeah. How do you tell a girl you wanna talk to her about Elliott Smith? I highly conceived this thought while drowning, yeah. and I know I'm hard to define but if you just look in my eyes you'll find. I watched you from far away if I'm a stranger I'll stay this way. How do you tell a girl you can sense how sad she is inside? I want to believe you'll lie right here with me, yeah. How do you tell a girl you've hated yourself for the past ten years? I'd like to believe my pain is just as fleeting as you my love. I seem to make myself sad and I always feel this bad too bad.

Another Unfinished Country Song 02:34
lyrics
buy track
I have been tired my whole life. I have been tired my whole life. and you're the only one who makes me feel alright. I keep on talking to the walls once again. they keep on listening like they're my best friends. and hell by now I guess they probably is. I keep on listening to Sgt. Peppers. It keeps on spinning like it was made to be my record. So I guess I was meant to be the owner. and it seems so funny to me that each time I'm in the passenger seat of some young lady's car, I somehow end up pinky promising her the world.
