A version of this song is being added to Madisson's LP

Distant First demo

I've got something to tell you- NO STAGE DIVING PLEASE.

Thanks to Joyce Manor for writing this song. All instruments were played by Christian Cox, not much was changed from the original.

Comfortable Clothes- cover

A new version along with the rest of the demo will be out in a week.

Unmastered top secret version of Oliver and Company

Song about a meeting of hearts that ends with the one eating the other, like when a baby hippo is introduced to its father. Lyrics by Drew Morrell, Christian Cox
...

I need to make a phone-call. I don't feel like texting.
We need to sort out our entire situation,

We need to get this sorted out, let me know everything, and get on with this awkward conversation.
That was a rhetorical question- not a heartfelt suggestion. I feel like you're changing, stop your complaining. Fuck, I need change.

Say you need time to think, our heartbeats are not in sync, Not something a defibulator could fix
I'm sure we will stay in touch, if one of us drinks too much. But I know my phone and triple-sec don't mix.

You were my first kiss, I'd hate to burst this but now I'm moving on. I know the truth is that I'll still miss you after you're gone.

Clip my wings, because I ain't ever gonna fly. This love's like cancer, it just isn't gonna die. I'm pretty sure that I will carry on just fine, just as soon as I replace my blood with wine. Go ahead, take your potshots at my pride; you armchair critics at my scarlet letter bride. "It wasn't real, she don't deserve ya, you'll do better?" How can you say that if you barely even met her?

If I dodged the bullet, why am I bleeding out?

Dude, your Blinker is ON

All my friends are engaged and here I am scrawling lyrics on a napkin

...

Oh, I am fucking done. Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever find the one.
Ends before it could begin, will I always be on the outside looking in?

If you'll pardon my poignant self expression- soon I'll pass my prime. It's a linear regression. If my soulmate is out there- if our fates were starcrossed, she took the wrong exit, missed her turn and got lost.

Blistered hands, stage fright. Missed my chance, tongue tied.

Lately I've been on the fence if girls find my face offensive, safest bet apprehensive, jaded, guarded, and defensive. 
Why do they act so evasive? Are my faults that pervasive? I could probably save face if I was just more persuasive. 
All of my ambitions just gather dust on a shelf, if I catch another garter (belt) I will probably have to off myself.

Timothy Goes to School

Song about the future and moving on.

Have heart; this is where we live. I lost a part of me I never thought I'd give. Carried me and burried me in a softened patch of earth, claw out of my coffin for attempt at a rebirth.
Taking down and breaking down the memories I'd keep. I guess what I can learn from this is to look before I leap.

Forgoe all nostalgia for a sober point of view. Holding out for something worth investing into

So what am I waiting for? What if there's nothing in store?

Have Heart

Song about falling, title about a cartoon movie

Those 6 months you've been away, felt like I was 6 feet underground, I never heard from you, not a single sound. So you call me up, pull me out, throw me back, full of doubt; you know I hate to be dragged around.

Just give it a rest, you keep building me up to tear me down. Is this just a test? I won't water the seeds you've sewn. It's exhausting that I'll never be quite sure just where I stand, and to know that everything I've built could crumble in my hands.

My heart is not a sandcastle to break and then rebuild, there's voids formed in your absence that you probably could have filled. You can't keep cutting ties, because the rope has grown to short. So are you in, or are you out, cuz this boat's leaving port.

I realize now that I may never win. Days would pass and I'd wonder where you've been. As of late, my patience is wearing thin. You've got a way of getting under my skin.
You've got a way of getting under my skin.

Oliver and Co

A lament of leaving things, people and places behind. Lyrics by Austin Williamson, Christian Cox.

21 years ago when I left my first home, I forced my way out screaming my head off. Crying out for attention after 9 months on my own- now I'm trying to cope.

I couldn't see, couldn't breathe. I knew nothing of this place or what I had in store. All the goodbyes I had to make, all the smiles I had to fake, always on this endless fight with me, myself and I.

This world is full of goodbyes, the good times never last. No matter how hard I try, it always fades to fast.

Pretty much the best cover of this song on the web.

Sudden Death in Carolina

Originally written and performed by Blink 182. This song was stuck in my head so I just threw this together.

Most of the tracks that aren't on "Where you Goin-Where you Been" are total shite or actually kind of decent joke songs.
