Recorded, mixed, mastered and bass performance by Jesse French

Goodbye, goodbye drowning my eyes I won't disguise this
Hearty, heartache knowing there's no room left to grow so I'll go
I knew that I'd lost you for quite some time
And yet I kept hoping we'd turn on a dime
But I wasn't needed for right reasons 
An old growing friend then and more of a kin
A pair of polar opposites, an eager beginner a queen of the art
The sinking desires I had to retire, unopened present an open dead end
Eight years of company you are never on your own
Take time discover how to live now all alone

Chorus repeat

And now when I'm driving the memories fire 
That night at the city we sang by the fire
You taught me to live more and throw a punch
I made you more mellow and soften to touch
Ginger libation will never taste the same
At least now we can say we gave it a shot

Goodbye, goodbye see you in life when it feels right 
I'll always, always cherish our time, glad you were mine for a while



Ginger Libation

Mixed and creative flare added by Ryan DeGroot 

Reach up and hold out your hands, splintered and cracked They're weathered and chapped, a worker's tax
Pushing your body to scream, to earn the means
A rusted machine, lo and behold

What's here to show for it, scars and dings you wear as rings
Juggling the days away, will you stop to play

Life is a big rubber band, waiting to snap
An elastic trap, don't bend too far
You fit right in with the trees, sowing their seeds
Make air fresh to breath, a gift to earth

Put down the shovel, diggin into trouble 
Money is make pretend free the mule and play the hen
I will idol you for the beauty and the view
Don't break don't break yourself brave elastic man


Father Come Home

Mind your own mind
Mind your own mind
DIY a shrine
Mind your own mind 

If you pull your strings I will bow my crown 
and conform to the figure that keeps me down
well the master lies in a bath of wine 
we're the marionettes may we scratch our heads
tell me who orders you, are you glued to their cue
is it obligationesque, does it tell you how to dress 

1st chorus repeats

yeah a dogma fears what it martyrs dear 
and it threatens to snuff you if you so sneer 
ask the nihilist with the mundane kiss 
do you believe in enough to believe your eyes 
tell me why it's reigning dry, from the sky a genocide 
can the strings be unstrung, can a puppet choose to run

Only you are one
Only you are one
Choices won't make us
Only you are one
