Lyrics:

stay opened up, hide your eyes from the prize 
hoping for monuments of good ol' days 
so, be here now, soak it in, ride the tide, 
be here now, see me straight, and understand 

dressed for excess, you radiate in every way, 
casting rays, and still the gaze that tackles me. 
dive through the hoops, jump the walls, get inside 
unaware in your gaze, and now you're bare 

count me in 
it's not over 
let me see every side 

stay opened up, hide your eyes from the prize 
all slipping out, for the sake of letting your hair down 
stay opened up, hide your eyes from the prize 
all slipping out, for the sake of letting your hair down 

i stop and wonder to myself 
who is this guy i'm being now 
i stop and wonder to myself 
is it worth it 
i don't know 
i don't know 
i don't know 

count me in 
it's not over 
let me see every side

Lyrics:

midnight preacher 
i'm approaching 
tell the same tale 
gleaming glory 

packing pockets 
full of stories 
passing walkers 
vouching for me 

but i just multiply 
get it all on my back again 
no i won't go for anything 
i'm living on the sidewalk 
living on the side 

pardon me miss 
i was speaking 
find your own face 
i'm receiving 

burden you with 
gift of giving 
guilt is spilling 
now do your share 

or i'll just multiply 
get it all on my back again 
no i won't go for anything 
i'm living on the sidewalk 
living on the side 

while i have you 
get to know me 
if you're giving 
feel it deeply 

or hide your comfort eyes 
get it all on my back again 
no don't need your anything 
i'm living on the sidewalk 
living on the side 

whipping out the same talk 
tracing on the lines 
who would even notice 
if i never die 

living on the sidewalk 
living on the side

Lyrics:

sneaky sinking cinnamon 
in your plate
hope I haven't drowned out the flavors you savor
only want to spice up the day or way more
wave in another round 
of soul-sip
saving the crown for the sound of sinking
joking around with the old shit, new shit
rip out another limb
it's damaged
strutting around on my one leg
cutting out taxes and repaid, well played
writing biting headlines
for bad news
it's all we really need, isn't it?

it's a shame you came for a good time
'cause you wont find much of that around here
it's a shame you came for a good sign 
for a good sign is a bad sign

mighty martyr marmalade 
spread thick
quick throw the stick, make it tick, and see it kick in
could be what we need, lead the deed in bleeding danger
like a lazy land mine
too deep
turns in its grave, misbehave and feel the shockwave
light on your shoes, who knew it would choose you
inching on the skinny lines
bad news
its all we really need, isn't it?

it's a shame you came for a good time
'cause you wont find much of that around here
it's a shame you came for a good sign 
for a good sign is a bad sign

hold on, pick up the phone
maybe it's the bad news
hold on, pick up the phone
shaking in my new shoes
hold off from going home
busy bakin' bad news
trying to spice up the day or just way more
it all goes south

it's a shame you came for a good time
'cause you wont find much of that around here
it's a shame you came for a good sign 
for a good sign is a bad sign

Knack For Whatever

Good Sign, Bad Sign

Back And Forth

Innocent Alex was formed when Evan Jiroudek decided to take on a solo recording project back in 2016. The five song EP birthed the first original collaboration brothers Evan and Lake Jiroudek had worked on since going their separate ways in college. One summer the brothers reunited in their hometown of Cannon Beach, Oregon to begin recording the album, but time got away and Lake had to go back to college in New York City. While Evan did the bulk of the recording in Cannon Beach and Highland Park, California, where he lived, Lake layered all the lead guitar parts on top and sent them back to Evan on the other side of the country. By the time the self-titled EP was released in 2017, Lake had graduated college and moved out to LA to begin working and performing with his brother, Evan. The brothers spent years in LA together playing at various venues as Innocent Alex, playing as sidemen to many up and coming songwriters, and teaching at various music schools during the day time. Throughout this span of time, Evan had produced and engineered albums for his peers, himself and even his little brother. With the brothers both writing and singing their own material, they went back into the studio as co- leaders, keeping the band name Evan had originally used for his solo project. Evan and Lake spent a year in a make shift studio they built inside a car port that sat below a three story condominium with hundreds of residents, recording their first full length album and earning the hatred of their neighbors. When the brothers finally finished the tracking, Covid-19 struck and the Pandemic influenced a move back to the Oregon Coast. Soon after, Evan mixed the album, Jason NeSmith (Chase Park Transduction) mastered it, and then the brothers sat on it for two years while Evan worked various construction jobs and Lake recorded an album of his own. Evan and Lake are currently working and performing in Astoria, Oregon where they are promoting their new LP "No More Heroes".
