Artwork also created by Grouchy.

In this take of High Noon, the artwork depicts our protagonist walking away from the graveyard and saddling up his horse. walking away from the tombstone of his former lover, the tone emits a sense of acceptance, defeat, and apathy as he finally lets go of his past life and moves forward.

LYRICS:

I got a one track mind.
you got a ruthless heart, and i...
I wanna make it mine, 
but you never really been the type
to ever get caught. 

and I don't wanna let you tie me to the tracks again.
I don't wanna lie down when that train comes in.
I can see the grounds a shakin' as you shed a tear,
but I know its just a show for when the sheriff's here. 

I got my hands held high. You got got'yer gun to my eye, and you... you aim to rob me blind, but you're gonna have to be the one to shoot this time. 'Cause I ain't goin' down without a fight, I ain't gonna let another bandit make me cry. If you wanna take it easy then I ain't your guy, if you wanna take my soul... take my god damn life. 

you got'yer hands on the bars, beggin' me to cut you loose. Yer sayin' just grab the keys, but I'll be there watchin' when they tie the noose. so I'll see you on streets just past high noon, when they walk to to the gallows, n'put a hood on you. I'll tip my hat and walk away, as they nail up your box and seal your fate.

Tell bittersweet lies, like there's nothing to hide.
Put on your disguise, you know just what I despise.

Cover up all the tracks that you've lied down. 
Make it all seem like it's not just a game now.
I could bite the bullet, but don't ask me to load it.
You could pull the trigger on a life that you have stolen.
-------------------------
Who am I to tell you lies?
Who am I to tell you otherwise?
Who am I to say our last goodbye? 
Who am I to tell you another lie?

Take it back, take it back.
I can't see through the cracks.
Let it go, let it go.
My heart's not yours to throw away, away,
With all your other trash.
No I can't go on this way.
We're at one final impasse,
And we're fading fast.
-------------------------
Call all of my bluffs, we've both had enough.
You can't call it love just to quit when it gets rough.
Carve a stone, die alone, missed forever.
I'll be on my own to write a happy ever after.
I could bite my tongue and swallow every word unspoken, 
so you could play this off like I'm the only one who's broken.

Love can be calm, quiet, and serine. a safe place, somewhere to be comfortable and vulnerable in your own skin and adored for who you are. And on the other hand, it can be wild, passionate, unchained, and sensual. Love is place that respects your boundaries and pushes your limits, let's you be heard, and helps you find your voice. It's a rarity to find a love where you can feel it all and so much more. So when I recited my vows and asked Elaina to be my wife it was very important that illustrated how grateful I was that she helped me transform my music from a coping mechanism to a love language. So on that note, dedicated to my incredibly sexy and unconditionally loving wife, I present: "How 'Bout"
