Safe beside you, I can hide 'til tomorrow is gone
it won't be long before you see
what you mean to me

I took the same road you took
I look the same way you look
a fool could see it was meant to be this way

but you're a world away
you're a world away

(what a grand design... what paradise)

I'll send a signal to the sky, an S.O.S
it'll pierce your heart through your sunburnt chest
you'll catch your breath, but dear you won't know why
you find me sleeping in your mind tonight

this was your reply "I tried my best"
you left me here and that's all I get?
Why do you make it so hard to love you?
Why do you make it so hard to love you?

(What a grand design... what paradise)

Well I'm lost without you, but I can hide 'til tomorrow is gone
it won't be long 'til you come home

Sunburn [demo]

There's nothing more to talk about
we have said it, we have screamed it out
Now's about the time
about the time we leave this place, go away for awhile

Leave this place, get away for awhile
We'll make a great escape

On Vacation [demo]

Sometimes it's hard to start
Too wrapped up in old ties
Tied tight around your heart
You're always waiting
For something to open your eyes

Meet me in the middle
It never hurt to try
But it's always at the wrong time
This silly little life

Hard To Start

You've got a sad set of alibis
They make you feel so ill
Now all you ever get from your goodbyes
Is how it feels when they're gone

Is this the last time
Is this the last time again
You're better now
You're better now
You're better now

This is better

100 Boyfriends

I've tried a thousand ways but I can't forget you
You're a phantom limb so I can't just let you go
Life's bound to break your heart that's a given
So here's to getting lost inside of the ritual
It's all I know

The first time I saw you outside
You were singing our song
You were singing our song
But the words were sounding all wrong
The words were sounding all wrong

I don't know you
I don't know you

Southpaw

Whys

Working on a cold case
Waiting out the sunshine
Right back to your old ways
Nothing that I can't find

But I'm never gonna get you
I'm never gonna get you back am I
Never gonna get you
You're slipping through cracks inside my mind

This is all that you ever do
Now I've lost you completely
You're just chalk on the avenue
And it's second Sunday street sweeping
Ah, it just sucks that you're not around

Trying on a new face
Giving up the old line
Packed it in a suitcase
I've been driving all night long

But I'm never gonna get you
I'm never gonna get you back am I?
I'm never gonna get you
You're slipping through the cracks inside my mind

This is all that you'll ever do
How I lost you completely
You're just chalk on the avenue
And it's second Sunday street sweeping

This is all that you'll ever do
Now I lost you completely
You're just chalk on the avenue
And it's second Sunday street sweeping
Ah, it just sucks that you're not around
Ah, it just sucks that you're not around

Cold Case

You never know just what you'll find
Hiding in that evening air
Always need a reason why
Me I never much did care

Maps
Maps
Maps
Maps

Tracing on that dotted line
Maybe you're already there
Whatever gives you peace of mind
Me I never much did care

Maps
I took the right turn
Maps
And then I left it there
Maps
To fill the silence
Maps

Maps

You got it bad
Well I got it worse
They went and shot the internet dead
They went and shot the internet
Oh I ain't fooling
No I ain't fooling anyone I know

Baby it's a blackout
Maybe shine a light down
I've never been so bored
And alone at home

I'm crying like an idiot child
Wrapped up and thrown to the wild
They went and shot the internet down
They went and killed the internet
The internet
Oh I ain't fooling
No I ain't fooling anyone I know
I know I know

They Shot The Internet

It's over
I guess that's how my day went
All and all a wasted little life
It's hard getting older

It's what you do with what you've done
My mind goes racing in the sun

Oh, the car's on empty again
This lack of drive well it gets to your head

It's over but at least you get a pay check
On and on at your silly little job
For a house to paint
It's fucking great, it's

It's what you do with what you've done
My mind goes racing in the sun

RACING!

Snowglobe

Everybody knows that the world is ending now
We're burning all our clothes staring at the stars with envy

It's too bizarre
It's too bizarre

Now, I guess that's how it goes
No, I guess that's how it is
Now that everybody knows
Man we feel like shit

That things went bad on our tiny speck of stone
Things got bad and there's nowhere left to go
There's no going back and we feel it in our bones
But it can't be sad if there's no one left to know

So one last laugh and then I guess I'm good to go

Accelerate (demo)

This song just needed to get put out because I was going to go crazy editing bits and pieces of it.

Lyrics

oh and now it's all come true
those worrisome eyes have set upon you
and the years and years will float on through
and you'll waste your time, you always do

so it's all gone south for winter
so we're both going down together 

slow ride home, bright light, hand on the outside
slow ride home, dead eye'd, and your hand on the outside low...
hand on the outside low... hand on the outside low... 

your hand...

it's hard, it's hard, it's hard to understand the things you do you see?

so long as tonight you're breathing you better
make up your mind, just keep it together, man
because I've seen the signs, a change in the weather
all things in time, always, forever

you're so fucking clever, man

Worrisome Eyes

Sometimes I write songs on my loop pedal and just delete them so I thought instead I'd  post one this time. Stay tuned for more gloom straight from my room.

- - - - - - - 

At the end of the line you'll see the frayed dark edges of time I believe it'll blow your mind
It's the absence of being the sweetest release you'll find it all, and it all will work out fine
so forget what you know just let it unfold and enjoy the ride
forget what you've seen just stay here with me and it'll be alright

I think it'll be just fine now
I think it'll be with your feet on the ground and your head in the clouds one hand on your heart I think you figured it out
(we're only temporary, love)

you got it all now, you got it all



Room Gloom I

Cemetery Air (demo)

It’s the same here all the time
get lost in each other’s lives
tracing on a line with you

and through it all you fear the changes
through it all you feel the same way

save yourself the time
it’s going to be a lonely ride
blame it on the wine
I love you more with every fight
I’ll lay it on the line for you 

I’d forget it just put it in the back of your mind
forget it, it’s best with your back turned
I’d forget it have a change of heart
I’d forget it but it’s just too hard
trace the line

*working demo, will upload bigger better mix soon*

Lightweight Creepin'

I got this thought of you
boxed up in my mind
it isn't something new
it's something that we used to be
so it's only right I take what's mine
and give the rest back to you
sorry about tonight
sorry how I used to be
to you
you'd be thinking twice about making eyes
if you could see whats been on my mind
all the shit that you let slide
and all of the lies I tell you
you'd be thinking twice about staying mine
if you could see what's been on my mind
all of the shit that you let slide
boxed up and waiting for you

Boxes

near or far
if I can't even remember just where the hell you are
I'll probably find you there
in the dark rolling in the embers
it's just the way you are
it's just what you always do
let's drive home and settle down
yeah, let's drive home and settle down
here in my car
I'd drive into the ether
I'd go wherever you are
but I know I'll find you there
in the dark rolling in the embers
your sentimental heart makes you make do with me

Can't Even Remember

please don't start telling me things
like I've got time, time to roam
go be free with someone better than me
roll on right you rolling stone
but when you get home
please just marry me
marry me
marry me
come back here to what you started
you won't leave me all broken hearted, will you?
come back finish off what you started
you won't leave me all broken hearted, will you?
will you?
you will won't you
yeah i'm on my own
i'm on my own
i'm on my own
i'm on my own
I love you but something went wrong with your soul
i wish we'd both get vaporized
don't mind me it's all just been taking a toll
on the way I see our lives

Please

gloria I want you
but it's not enough to have you
gloria
gloria
why can't you feel the same way
the way that you know I do?
it all went sideways the day I set eyes on you
its just a strange phase
i don't need you like I think I do
you got inside me
inside me
oh shit, gloria I want you
but it's not enough to have you

Gloria

everybody's hiding
feels like I'm out here on my own
I hear them all conspiring
so I call you on the telephone
said, "if you had forever where would you go?
I'm not being clever I just need to know"
because I can't help but feel this way without you
back and forth beneath these satellite blues
if you had forever? oh you said you don't know
if you had forever? oh you said you should go
and you sing it like a love song
but you're looking like a long way down
i think you got it all wrong
but you think you got it figured out
everybody's hiding
and I'm out here on my own
staring down a pair of high beams
i'm taking back the long way home
we don't have forever, I know
we don't have forever, I know
but I can't help but feel this way without you
back and forth beneath these satellite blues
if you had forever? oh you don't know
if you had forever? oh you should go...

Everybody

woke up and what a perfect day
traced the rain across the window
got high and lied to your face
some would say I blow it every time
and it's no one's fault but mine
but I know we'll laugh about this in another life
stay home but it don't make sense
money's spent, accounts all zero
get drunk and fight with all your friends
guess I meant I fuck up every time
and it's no ones fault but mine
and I'm sure you'll laugh about this with some other guy
you said you'd care for me now
betrayed your rolling eyes
you said you figured me out
I said that must be nice
because I can't even make up my own mind
I can't even sort out my own life
baby we gave it a college try
maybe just remember the old times

College Try

BONUS TRACK

I know you see it on the sun drenched coast
a flash of light, a sign of life - a note
in a bottle, oh - thought I got all of those

I can't believe it but you're really gonna go
be it by age by car by note
just let me know - how I'll go on without you here
I want you here

And don't it go to show
You don't know what you got until it goes
And don't it go to show you
You don't know what you got until it
owns you molds you fogs your starry eyes…

I… I - oh my god I love you blind

---

"I... I - oh my God I love you so… now I feel it go. I'm walking down to the ocean floor. So... say the word and I'll go on
Let me go, let me know…"

"Simmer down, it feels so right - keep you warm in the middle of the night, yeah.
Start to think you don't know why - this heart it beats, it beats, it beats"
