HeartStrings EP

So most of the songs I write spring directly from the acoustic guitar and from there the song turns into it's own monster.  Heartstrings was written on the acoustic guitar originally however is quite different in comparison to the electronic version.

CRLSS Heartstrings  {acoustic/live}

in early autumn 
when I was honest 
and you were haunted 
it's what you wanted 

all those costumes 
always cost you 
you and your spoon 
completely consume you 

take, take, take 

in that winter 
somewhat simpler 
your eyes were silver 
I heard you whisper to me 

always arranged 
trying to change 
learn to maintain

Take take take

Heartstrings was Crafted in a transformative hovel. Stuck processing life’s passage and the impact of our choices, and the choices of others impact on us, Heartstrings delivers a reminder of the brevity of life. Composed and completed in the covers of the American criminal justice system, Heartstrings offers wisdom from a too often ignored populace. The lack of freedom nestles into these songs, contrasted with the lush and expansive instrumentation. Life seems to be passing the voice by, but it is a life he no longer wants.

Heartstrings (reprise)

How about al little bit of violet? 
She said we might as well try this 
Last night she claimed to be the pilot 
Shaking that Tamborine all lit 

You, your only happy when your high 
Your only happy when your high 
Your only happy when you've got me 
Your only happy when you've got me 
Your only happy when I cry 
Your only happy when your high 

Get tired talking all your wars 
Don't you get tired talking of all your scars 
Don't you get tired walking all that way? 
Don't you get tired saying all the things you say 

How about a little bit of cinnamon 
You know I'd rather have amphetamine 
Last night I saw my only living twin 
Just shut you mouth and take your medicine 

You, your only happy when your high 
Your only happy when your high 
Your only happy when you've got me 
Your only happy when you've got me 
Your only happy when I cry 
Your only happy when your high

You’re Only Happy When You’re High
