Moderately Fast Song 04:48
lyrics
Last night I laid in my bed thinking about the past I was thinking about the last 17 years of my life and how they went by so fast Last night I laid in my bed for several hours or so just thinking Where does the time go? The time goes by so fastJust a second ago it felt like we were kids Oh how I wish that could have lasted, but Now everybody's growing up and Now everybody's driving cars and Now everybody's working two jobs and Now everybody lives so far away Now everybody's goin' off to college Some of my old friends are havin' kids now There's just so much goin' on now Let's go back to the days when we were kids When our moms and dads still loved each other When everything was so much better Ya, let's go back to the days when we were kids When our moms and dads still loved each other And everything was so much different We will all always be kids at heart (x1,000)

A Cause To Remember 04:17
lyrics
Living life against my will Toying with a cyanide pill Sometimes I wish it all would end Sometimes I feel like jumping off the deep end Sometimes I feel Sometimes I feel nothing Drowning in sorrow Drenched in pain I brought you my best You brought me rain Check the obituary I swear you'll see my name You always said I could crush a smile But this time it's your fault This time it's your fault This time it's your fault Drowning in sorrow Drenched in pain I brought you my best You brought me rain I cling to agony It's what's keeps me sane Please don't look down on me All I wanted was for them to know my name

I ____ You 05:02
lyrics
'I love you' is such a cliche Sometimes I wish there was a better way To say these words to someone So they know that you actually mean it It seems to me these days That 'I love you' is just a gateway phrase Whatever happened to the days Whatever happened to real love I know my grandmas and grandpas really loved each other But I guess my parents didn't so they went on to find another So many folks getting married at such a young age Only to find out it's just a phase that they'd go through They'd soon find out they should have never said 'I love you' or 'I do'

Nothing Was True 03:57
lyrics
I walked for miles and miles today I guess you didn't have a whole lot to say I called and I called and I called, but you wouldn't pick up the phone I've done all of this just to be alone I did everything I could for you Yes, all of those words I said were true I did everything I could for you Not knowing everything you said to me was anything but true NOTHING. WAS. TRUE.

Cure 03:45
lyrics
I can feel the wind Flowing through the trees I can feel the insects Buzzing around my knees Sitting on the couch on my back porch Thinking about these past few months and how they've been the worst I haven't gotten over this yet But that's something I intend to do Depression is a disease But I know there is a cure And that is the main thing I'm looking for And I know that I will find it I'll find it in God I'll find it in music I'll find it in friends I hope I don't lose it again I hope I don't lose it again I'll find it in God I'll find it in family I'll find it in friends I hope I don't lose it again I hope I don't lose them again

After the Gold Rush (Neil Young Cover) 02:43
lyrics
Well, I dreamed I saw the knights In armor coming, Saying something about a queen. There were peasants singing and Drummers drumming And the archer split the tree. There was a fanfare blowing To the sun That was floating on the breeze. Look at Mother Nature on the run In the nineteen seventies. Look at Mother Nature on the run In the nineteen seventies. I was lying in a burned out basement With the full moon in my eyes. I was hoping for replacement When the sun burst thru the sky. There was a band playing in my head And I felt like getting high. I was thinking about what a Friend had said I was hoping it was a lie. Thinking about what a Friend had said I was hoping it was a lie. Well, I dreamed I saw the silver Space ships flying In the yellow haze of the sun, There were children crying And colors flying All around the chosen ones. All in a dream, all in a dream The loading had begun. They were flying Mother Nature's Silver seed to a new home in the sun. Flying Mother Nature's Silver seed to a new home.

about

Just a quick acoustic demo EP that I (Steve) whipped up in one night. However, the first track was recorded with most of the band on the back porch some time ago and then overdubbed with some extra guitar and vocals.
