This battery moves at such a slow pace
The breaking news is here from yesterday
How sick do I have to get
I don't think he even knows that I'm hollow yet

God damnit, I thought you were different
God damnit, I wanted us to make it
You proved them right
And you proved me dead wrong
I'm dead last and of course you're long gone

A woman's work is defense
Isolate and wait
Our time just hasn't come yet
How much sicker could we really get
I never wanted this, I don't think she's gonna make it

God damnit, I thought you were different
God damnit, I wanted us to make it
You proved them right
And you proved me dead wrong
I'm dead last and of course you're long gone

What would your mother say (x3)

Radio

A live acoustic cover of Hozier's "To Be Alone". 

To Be Alone (Live Acoustic Cover)

A cover I did of the brilliant Shakey Graves song "Business Lunch". 

Business Lunch (Cover)

Honey, can't you see you're bringing me down 
I don't like the way you sound 
When your voice gets too loud 

Darling, I am sick and tired of the fighting 
How far can we spin out before righting 

I feel like a broken record, spinning round and round 
I can hear myself repeating, but I can't stop the sound 

Lately you've been looking like an old house 
With a leaky, leaky roof 
Wallpaper torn and peeling 
Where the kids stole a piece for proof 

They wanted to show that they had been there 
They wanted their friends to know 
But why does it matter if no one lives there 
Why does it count if no one's home

The Watertown EP

Watertown

Stay here with me, sit by the river 
Here in the sweet mint and thyme 

Honey, I've got no time for you 

Rivers still run, the sun is still the sun 
But honey, I'm not in love with you 

I hate to say, the love has gone away 
It caught the wind that dragged it down the plains 

Lay me down, run with the river 
Down to the state borderline 

Honey, i'd never lie to you 

Nights come and go, the sun turns to snow 
But I can't make myself love you 

I wish that I could keep you safe from harm 
But honey, you will never have my heart

River Hymn

Hey little lady, what'd you come here for 
This isn't the place for you 
Take your body out 
Of the memories you found 
On the floor of the hotel room 

This world's not as bad as you told me it'd be 
This isn't as hard 
As you'd have me believe 
I want to love you, but you're exhausting

Intro II

There's no easy way around this 
Just hide me in the closet 
Like you always do 
There's no easy way to say this 
You make your bed, and you lay in it 
We do what we have to do 

If you never hear another word that comes from my mouth, 
All I ask is just hear me out 
Everyone's doing everything they can, 
This world is cruel 
Just because we hurt you, doesn't mean we meant to 

There's no easy way to say this 
You pick your battles and make stupid choices 
You had everything you wanted, 
What made you walk away from it? 

It makes no sense for you to leave, 
You've seen everything there is to see 
Oh well, that's fine 
It's not my life 
There's always something you can't get right 

There's no easy way to say this 
You're always gonna hide me in the closet 
You're always gonna make stupid choices 
Someday you'll lose everything you wanted 

And then you'll blame it on me 
Say it's my fault I didn't stick around to see 
But I'm not sorry, if I had 
You would have ruined me
