LYRICS:

Never someone you depend on
Why don’t you go back to home where you belong?
Onto the crosswalk along the stock of loading docks

With patience as her only virtue
She sits and dwells on what dreams she can pursue
Which move is fullproof and sure to raise her roots?

Her mind’s a river
She just lets it flow
Meanwhile we slither, 
she won’t know

Her doubts get slimmer
No threads to sew
How could her spirit 
fly so low?

Boil down to simmer
There’s much more to show
We’ll have her cought in 
Drifting coasts

Bones start to shiver
It’s getting much too close
She’ll take a minute, ‘cause she
Needs to compose

Anxious, she steps in the bathroom
It’s clear she holds something not worth a value
Walking around to the sound of every clown in prime

Give her a year she can round to
And ask her what are her plans when she’s through school
Still, this worn girl, in her world, something’s about to shine

Chip on her shoulder
Time overdue
Don’t let the clockworks
Conquer you

Winters get colder
She won’t make it through
We’ll toss her golden 
Point of view

Paper in folder
She might get a clue
Much disappointment 
Nothing new

Moves getting bolder
They work out for few
Have you not told her? 
There’s some, weight on her too

Da-Dada-daada times a million

Where it Goes Wrong - Single

Lyrics:
Down on the luck again
I’m picking up piece by piece
Of the mess I tend to
Be the one to stab you and fuck all of it up in the end
What should I do now that you’ll never 
Reseed the crop that we worked so goddamn 
Long to keep and now its all disintegrated along with me 

Please water me
Please water me

Took a quick minute 
Made it into a nightmare
At my expense because I was
Stupid as fuck again 
So why would you offer me
Another chance?
Holding you once again
Would make us feel right again
My best friend and we have a
Mutual bond we know damn well
not nearly complete or beat

How can I live now knowing what I commenced in your mind and hurt you rather than 
Taking the L and being 
Full blooded honest with you instead
One of these days I’m bound to
Be a good asset to you and finally learn to
Get a taste of the sickness 
Insert into me, and get sick too

Please poison me
Please poison me

Doubt in the luck again 
I’m sorry for lying again and again and again-gain-gain 
I know it probably doesn't do shit for you but that’s okay
Cause I’m down on the luck again
I set myself up for self harm
On my heart and it has to end
Before I drive myself down to Key West and shoot my chest 

Feels like I’m 15
Feels like I'm 15 
Please comfort me
Feels like I'm 15

This isn't FDR related, but this song is easy as hell and fun as hell to play. Fun little cover I threw together for no reason really.

Nirvana - Been A Son (Cover by Ethan Milford)

Lyrics: 
How do you crawl back from this?
You scorned me once, now you're doing it for kicks
Touch the skin and feel the burn
The scar you left, was it quite the lesson learned

How could you dig up the grave?
My dues are paid, and your welcome's overstayed
Watch the tomb erode away
I cross my legs, as I play the waiting game

Love Thorn

Benefit of The Doubt

Lyrics:
Terry was a truthful troll
He dances with the wind
He likes to talk to animals
But surely, none who sin

Terry plays an active role
In spreading facts and truth
Sadly, though, poor Terry knows
He's only one of few

Terry brushes lies all off 
He tries to keep it cool
He never thought that humans could
And would be so damn cruel 

Terry keeps his mark unknown 
He wears his rugbeat shoes
He's on his last glimmer of hope
He knows he can't misuse

Shame, he's found theu're all just
Snakes, with bound up limbs that
Take, without a glimpse of
Shame, where did that go?
The shame, where did that go?

Terry wasn't thin or old 
He simply ran on truth
The odds were deemed impossible 
'Cause no one had his juice

Terry made one crutial note
He learned one painful truth 
The human race's trust is broke 
And now his days are through

Shame, he's found theu're all just
Snakes, with bound up limbs that
Take, without a glimpse of
Shame, where did that go?
The shame, where did that go?

Terry The Truthful Troll

Lyrics:
Now it's all
Now it's all been said and done
Had a ball
Now that we both had our fun
Count it all
Count it 'til you get down to one
Found a brawl
But I'd rather take hits than run

Ah, still I'm longing
For one like you to want me
But not so rude and daunting
So I can break this concrete

Now it's all
Now it's all been said and done
Had a ball
Now that we both had our fun
Had a fall
World's great, oh, it weighed a ton
Wake up call
Knew I had to get up and run

Ah, still I'm longing
For one like you to want me
But not so rude and daunting
So I can break this concrete

Ah, still I'm longing
For one like you to want me
But not so rude and daunting
So I can mend this marking

The Favorable Phase

Lyrics:
Please
Stop the Lies
Stop the climb
I'm not your kind

Wish I could tell
All the signs
All the times
You weren't so kind

Wish I could help
Give a ride
Spare some time
That offer's died

The sun will melt
All the ice 
All the eyes
All that despise
With I could tell...

If Anything

Lyrics:
Take a little dallop, save some for my shadow and
Eleviate congestion, caused by the supression and I've 
Opened my pride without any chews to hopefully see this through

Sorry that I'm snappy, glad to see you're happy and that's
All I ever want, but I was never taught
Now of course, it's nothing new, I still haven't got a single clue

Pain at such a level is deathly detramental and it's 
Hard to use a pencil when you're going mental
Stuck with endless attempts to stay on the rails, but it's to no avail

Being extra careful, done with being spareful and I 
Can't go any longer, can't get any stronger and I
Pitch my sales in hopes we don't go stale, but it always fails

Yes, I joke around, but I know without a doubt
It takes more than a heart, to fix what's torn apart

No one spoke about how the first love hurts the most
And she knows form "Her" that I loved her so 

No one wants to stop if a red flag's popping up
'Cause you're made to think there would be no such thing
 
I still think a lot where the hell we went wrong
'Cause being lonely now, it sure does hit the spot
And it hurts...

Lyrics:
Pop, pop a pill to feel
Top, top a tumbling wheel
Oh, what a mess I've made
Out, out of cards to play

Oh, what a mess I've made
How, how those words touche 
Oh, what a mess I've made
Down, come the clouds today

Oh, what a mess I've made
Oh, what a mess I've made
