My Boss's Free Haircut (Tidal Wave) 02:44
lyrics

*You're scared because if you try and fail, there's only you to blame* It's been way too long, since I've felt the sand beneath my toes. Now Im coming for it, I've been longing for you I can hear the waves crashing, I can see the starlight shining off your eyes. This will be mine. I'm following through on all the things that I've said to myself and to you. This year will yield all the results of what we've been through. Home is where the heart is, regardless of where you've been or where you're going. The tide is going out, keep floating on. *Life is scary. Get used to it.* The tide is going out, keep floating on. I've been longing for you I can hear the waves crashing, I can see the starlight shining off your eyes. This will be mine. Get up and go.

Coda (Riverside Blvd) 04:19
lyrics

I still laugh at 'that's what she said' jokes and Superbads still funny But when I wake up my backs aching, and theres pain in both of my knees I still act like I'm seventeen listening to Brand New and Silverstein Wondering if my brain will catch to the year my body's living in. I just want to feel like I'm going somewhere That some of my decisions may have fruit to bare If only I could see, a sliver of progression as I wander through the motions of who I'm expected to be. This isn't what I envisioned, as a kid with an image of what growing up would be like I feel worn down, unbalanced, and left behind as I watch while the world seems to be passing me by So I'll sing along to Set Your Goals and New Found Glory And reminisce about being young and playing shows Back when we didn't have to worry about cancer, paying rent, or growing old. This isn't what I envisioned, as a kid with an image. *When you're a little kid, you're a little bit of everything: Artist, Scientist, Athlete, Scholar. Sometimes it seems like growing up is a process of giving those things up, one by one. I guess we all have one thing we regret giving up; one thing we really miss - that we gave up because we were too lazy, or because we couldn't stick it out, or because we were afraid. * This isn't what I envisioned, as a kid with an image of what growing up would be like I feel worn down, unbalanced, and left behind as I watch while the world seems to be passing me by

Goodnight, Seattle (Giants Causeway) 03:21
lyrics
buy track
Everything will be alright. The sun will rise up in the morning, so just sleep tight. And when you come around, I swear you'll understand that you'll be just fine. **The only reason I'm leaving is because I want what you all have. A new Chapter.** No more being complacent, fuck this place where I'm constantly waiting for some change. Just comfortable enough to stay the same. What I really needed was a catalyst, to pick me up, and stiffen up my upper lip a bit. I unpacked my shit and dug a hole then crawled inside of it. Now I'm sick, of living so minimalisticly and missing out on all there is to see. So now I'm free. *It may be that the gulfs will wash us down, It may be we shall touch the Happy Isles, and though We are not now that strength which in old days Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are.*

The Pineapple Incident (Irish Coffee) 03:04
lyrics

*Am I the only one curious about the pineapple?* It's two AM, I should go home, but I'm not quite finished being stupid. There's still time to make some bad life choices. Maybe call you up or, maybe post some shit online that I'll regret in the morning. As I'm sitting there feeling like an asshole. Sometimes I'm fine, sometimes I feel like I'm out of my mind between, inconsistencies in my logic and, insecurities in myself so I'll Wake up in the morning pour some whiskey in my coffee hoping HEY, just maybe, tomorrow starts brighter than it did today. Lately it feels like I've been chasing this light at the end of a tunnel, But am I any closer? More importantly do I even wanna be? Or should I just stay here cause Whats the point of just getting up to go when you don't know where you're going to. Sometimes I'm fine, sometimes I feel like I'm out of my mind between, inconsistencies in my logic and, insecurities in myself so I'll Wake up in the morning pour some whiskey in my coffee hoping HEY, just maybe, tomorrow starts brighter than it did today. Hey maybe. But how the hell did this happen to me, this happen to me. Shouldn't my life be clearer now? I got a real job, and I moved out. I'm 26 and confused how I moved forward and now filled with doubt. I'm realizing about myself, that I'm a creature of habit. But I don't wanna get stuck in the past, am I stuck in the past now. Shouldn't my life be clearer now. I'm 26 and confused how.

Communications Breakdown (Home, Hell, Or A Holiday) 03:57
lyrics

*Well, let's see what the I-Ching says.* I hope the autumn winds starts blowing down here, Northeastern kids down fare too well in Texas it appears. I'm getting so sick and damn tired of this heat, I can hardly even ever breathe outside, when all I wanted was to just hear her voice. And they said, it'll be alright That West Hempstead is not the end of the line All I gotta do is make this place feel like home Easier said then done, With my heart sunken in the Atlantic I should have planned this out. I'm trying to do this on my own terms, You'll find me off of Beltway Eight, somewhere home, hell, and a holiday. They say that everything's bigger down here. Like cowboy hats and beers, regrets and childhood fears. Like being so helplessly stuck inside you head, When every single chance to leave you should have took fell through And every time I close my eyes I dream of you. But here I am, and I'm doing just fine My heads held high, I won't go down without a fight. All I gotta do is make this place feel like home Easier said then done, With my heart sunken in the Atlantic I should have planned this out. I'm trying to do this on my own terms, You'll find me off of Beltway Eight, somewhere home, hell, and a holiday. I'm trying to try something new, I'm trying to try to forget you I know the east and west coasts are the best coasts, But the Gulf will have to do. *M-m, hm-m hm-m hm-m hm-m hm-mmm-mm. Yes, it says the situation is a microcosm juxtaposed against and created by the macrocosm of the universe. And there my neighbor, you have your answer.*

Bye Felicia (ROUGH DEMO) 03:22
lyrics
It's been a long time coming, so I'm gonna hit the ground running I'm fresh out of fucks to give, I guess I'll just burn it down and then rebuild And now i swear I'm done trying, and now I couldn't give a flying fuck about what happens to you And now you're stuck without the friend that you knew You had your chance and you blew it. I'm so over trying to see The good in people where I want there to be You are who you are, which sucks because you can't cure ugly I'm so over trying to see The good in you where I wish there would be You are who you are, which sucks because you can't cure ugly I can count on you to come through, as far as I can throw you At least you're consistent, your shit is rediculously sickening And now I swear I'm done trying And now I've tried this too many times before, being stupid and naive to think that the truth is the same as what I want to believe I'm so over trying to see The good in people where I want there to be You are who you are, which sucks because you can't cure ugly I'm so over trying to see The good in you where I wish there would be You are who you are, which sucks because you can't cure ugly Too bad, too bad You were a flashback into the past I guess growing up means growing wiser To letting go while moving forward

Andy Brink Brinkster (ROUGH DEMO) 02:59
lyrics
You crossed the line this time Theres no coming back from this You crossed the line this time We're never gonna be fine again I can't believe that you would stoop this low Casting me out like a stranger you never knew You make me sick You were supposed to be my family So much for blood being thicker than water No love being lost any longer You crossed the line this time, theres no coming back from this Betrayal at its finest, while you're making justifications for yourself You crossed the line this time, theres no coming back from this You crossed the line this time, We're never gonna be fine again ** and no matter what. win or lose, at the end of the day I'm not you. so its still a good day ** So much for blood being thicker than water No love being lost any longer

about

On March 10th, 2012 I packed up my life, and moved to Texas. In the past two and a half years I have written a bunch of songs about my experiences while figuring out this whole 'life' thing :
With love, From Houston.

about

One Day Too Late Houston, Texas

In the absence of being part of a real band, this project is what keeps my musical wheels turning in my free time.

As I'm sure you already realize...I use autotune too much, I program drums, and don't have any real experience mastering tracks. But regardless, I do what I do because I enjoy it.
