Mockingbird 03:02
wish i was a mockingbird high up in a tree then i'd be safe from my own words and you'd be safe from me problem is with wishes they may never come true if i hid myself in a wishing well maybe i could live to tell the tale of wishing for you if i was really able to sit up in a tree i wouldn't want to tease you for having sighted me i'd close my eyes from the sun and tell you about the view for you were never born with wings you could never see these things and i could never hold it, no, i would never hold it against you i'm holding my head up cause i can't seem to get a better idea of what to do keepin my hands empty too keepin my heart humble for you tell you what i ain't afraid to die before my time long as i'm buried in the earth and you keep me in mind people got to thinkin that life's a nursery rhyme but honey if you truly live with lean and fat and thick and thin the world around as it spins was made by the brothers grimm i'm holdin my head up cause i can't seem to get a better idea of what to do keepin my hands empty too keepin my heart humble for you

"Man changes and is variable but Nature remains the same. The Sun and the Moon and all the Things go on in spite of Man, he crumbles..." covered in soil soil for salt til the forces wash it off no one can tell who will be saved when the final bell tolls who will cave i've been loving you i can see through every wall you built with barnacle and your tabernacle with your little limbs and your tiny toes cause you have a choice... you gonna take it off? i been chasing differences through the night does it make a difference if you're a fox or a hound? it may take all night to work these problems out no sight of home, chasing... being chased... no sight of home, chasing... being chased...

Bridges 03:19
I begin to forget your face the attitude of summer all the world in wonder and you i tried to hold onto the bridge of a song but the notes were so fleeting they up, up and away from me i tried to hold onto the tails of your coat but the stories they told me were only of leaving i tried to hold on to the bridge of a song i tried to hold on to the bridge of our love i tried to hold on to the bridge of your nose in my mind's eye in my mind's eye in my mind's eye

unleash my spirit unleash my doubt as I get nearer to being without you to being without you it seems impossible to try and see the inbetween that disappeared with all that's tangible my clothing my hands my heart they've come to mean nothing all the parts that make me up how they seem to bring me down and you've never seemed so free like you never knew the way like you never knew the way we walk around we walk around we walk around we walk around

Roman Candle 04:45
the acrobat dove he reached for the wooden handle and he knew the net was removed the net was removed... halt your laughter he's no clown and he's sure to fall down hold your applause oh the dancers are an act you might like... three painted rings in the spot light, under the ringleader's eyes... to the children's delight! a bloody zoo... a bloody zoo... roman candle not a wick in some still wax and off he flew lookin comfortable with his decision may i follow suite? oh, i've never known what it's like to take your life in exchange for living life i've never known what it's like like to fall down... roman candle not a wick in some still wax may i follow suite? i've never known what it's like to fall down.

about

The majority of this album was recorded and mixed in the autumn of 2011 by Tyler McDonald.
All of the songs were written in the autumn of 2011 by myself, though major musical contributions were made from Anna Roberts-Gevalt, F.m. Turner, and Tyler McDonald. Musicians are listed on each track. Each player contributed original material during their time in the studio.

The album art was also created by Maya Renfro! At this point I have a lot of experience with the creation of album artwork and will gladly do yours if need be.
