Verse 1
When your body tells you “run”, you run
But I stuck around to be the brave one
And even though the smoke has risen
There’s a danger I’ll always be in

Prechorus
I try to walk straight
But I can’t aim with this weight

Chorus
Ooo, move on without me, go
Ooo, ‘cause I need to take it slow
I hope you never have to know
Empty streets and broken windows
Everyday, it’s April

Verse 2
Spring blasted in with a thundering start
I’m still waiting to fall apart
Who knew two boys could break a city’s heart
They broke my heart

Prechorus 
Chorus

Bridge
Oh, it’s done
But if I’m still frail
Does it mean they won?

Chorus


April (Draft)

A city girl with a country soul
She'd trade streets and cars to watch a river flow
She was born and raised 
In a New York haze
But longed for mountain air
Couldn't shake her Big Sky love affair

So one day she packed
And she never looked back

The West has got her now
No more urban noise at night
She's off to hear wolves howl
And she's kickin' up dust
In the land of pine and sagebrush
Ooo, The West has got her now

The road wrapped around her like outstretched arms
She couldn't help but smile 
While passing fields and farms
She wove in and out, over hills through towns
She was wild, free to roam
Finally she was home

The West has got her now
No more urban noise at night
She's off to hear wolves howl
And she's kickin' up dust
In the land of pine and sagebrush
Ooo, The West has got her now

The West (Demo)

Just an animal 
Trying to claw my way out
Kept in a cage,
So you can own the stage
I know your ways

The spotlight keeps you warm at night
The rich taste of fame is what you like
There's no need to hold on so tight
It's black and white

You're chasing hard
I'm pacing in the dark
So you, you can be the superstar

Superstar (DAEM Single)

Musty, redolent
The sound slows
The rush, it's here now
Like honey in my veins,

Ooo, around in circles
Ooo, around in circles
Occupying all my senses,
Stimulate me
Ooo, around in circles
Really you, you've got me spinning

It's different, man
Don't listen to me,
Don't listen to me
'Cause this tongue is dry as bone

Ooo, around in circles
Ooo, around in circles
Occupying all my senses,
Stimulate me
Ooo, around in circles
Really you, you've got me spinning

Around In Circles (DAEM Single)

I've noticed you've been 
Painted black and blue lately,
With eyes deep as canyons,
You make a walk seem saintly

La di da di da 
di da di da di da
You're stuck in my head
La di da di da 
di da di da di da di da
La di da di da da da

Bitterness doesn't have 
To be your only companion
In your drunken stupor home
Cigarette smoke rolls out your nostrils 
And I beg to be that last drag of relief
Yes, I beg to be that last drag of relief

I know how it feels, it feels,
How it is
With the lights 
Turned low
You can't expect me to walk away,
Stumble away when I see
What I see
I can't let you be

It's no secret 
You're a bit of a mess
But just let me in to take a look around
Cigarette smoke rolls out your nostrils
And I beg to be that last drag of relief
Yes, someday I'll be that last drag of relief

La di da di da 
di da di da di da
You're stuck in my head
La di da di da 
di da di da di da
La di da di da da da




One Last Drag

Until next time,
I'll see you soon
Until next time,
Yeah, I'll miss you too

But did you ever think
Maybe I don't have to leave
Maybe you don't have to go
Maybe we could always know
What's next for us
What's coming for us
Is there still an us

Until next time,
My body will ache
Until next time,
Every bone of mine
Might as well break

Could you open your mind
For just ten seconds
And think of what I could be for you
And you for me
But you're so greedy
And I'm too needy
And deep inside we know 
It won't work out
But something gives me hope
When you hold my face too close
And kiss me as if losing me
Would be the end of your world

Until next time,
I'll try to get over you
Until next time,
I'll move on like normal people do
Until next time, 
I'll consider someone else as something you could have been
Something you still could be if you'd consider me
As something you need, yeah
Until next time
Until next time
Until next time,
I'll want you more than ever

Until Next Time

Full Moon

For Alex Miller.

Around In Circles

Musty, redolent
The sound slows
The rush, it's here now
Like honey
In my veins

Ooo around in circles
Ooo around in circles
Occupying all my senses
Stimulate me
Ooo around in circles
Really you, 
You've got me spinning

It's different, man
Don't listen to me
Don't listen to me
'Cause this tongue
Is dry as bone

Ooo around in circles
Ooo around in circles
Occupying all my senses
Stimulate me
Ooo around in circles
Really you, 
You've got me spinning
