My eyes upon the morning
I can hear me as I sing
About the empty, about the broken
About all these parts of me

And I guess that I've been drinking
Cause it is pouring out my mouth
"I don't really see the problem"
I say falling to the ground

I'm blacking out
I'm puking myself now
Just another night I'm gonna' forget about
But I can hear that sound
That questionin', familiar sound
"Will you be alive a year from now?"

My eyes upon the morning
I can hear me as I sing
And every word out my mouth
It is still the same damn thing

"Oh, look at me! how lonely!
I deserve to lose belief!
That person! That person!
They should know how they hurt me!"

Still I'm blacking out
I'm shitting myself now
I think I hit my head
What was I talking about?
I can hear that sound
That sweet, familiar sound
"If you wanna be alive five years from now
You better start figuring it out"

My eyes upon the morning
Closed off at the end
If I am not my sadness
Then I don't what I am

Except hurt
And obssessed
But even then I guess
I'm not worthless

But still I'm blacking out
I think I need some help
I don't how to ask
I hope I figure it out
And so I'm overwhelmed
And now I'm falling down
But all these thoughts
They keep me going now

Like, "I don't know much and I may be small
But if we can't admit we're wrong
I think we're not alive at all"
and "I know it may seem impossible 
But the only thing you're owed
Is to forgive yourself and let it go"

Though the weeks go fast
And some days you don't want to exist
We're so much more than just our loneliness
I don't know much
I don't know how this ends
If I had a guess
I think
I think it'd go like this...

I know it's hard
But you gotta trust me kid
If ten years from now you still
Wanna be living

Then gotta get up and try again

Here Lies Timberwolf

(sam)
By the time the morning comes
I hope that I'll have changed
But I can see the sun
I feel the same

Here's to another night
Singing the same thing
"By the time the morning comes
I hope I've changed"

The weeks go fast, the days go slow
And all this growing up is getting old
The days go fast, the weeks go slow
And all this growing up is getting old

And I don't wanna wait
Sitting patiently
Just for someone else
To stop talking to me

I don't being played
Never thought it was a thing
It's been happening
A bit too much lately

The weeks go fast, the days go slow
And all this growing up is getting old
The days go fast, the weeks go slow
And all this growing up is getting old

(drezzdie)
By the time the morning comes
I hope that I'll have changed
But I don't need the sun
To know I ain't

Another waking night
Feeling the same thing
By the time the morning comes
I hope I fade

The weeks go fast, the days go slow
And all this growing up is getting old
The days go fast, the weeks go slow
And all this growing up is getting old

I know the things they'll say
I know the shit you'll sing
But I'm the only one
That has to live with me

(together)
I can't go on waiting
Hoping to be friends, thinking
"Did life end the day that we began?"

The weeks go fast, the days go slow
And all this growing up is getting old
The days go fast, the weeks go slow
And all this growing up is getting old

Lonesome Dove (feat. drezzdie)

I thought I saw you standing in a trader joe's parking lot
Don't know why but I froze right there, right on the spot
I thought there was no way you were coming back today
But it was just some random lady saying, "dude, get out the way"

I wanna wife
I wanna die
I wanna kiss a lovely guy
I wanna say that to my dad
And not have him roll his eyes
Don't wanna think
I better drink
It didn't work
Yeah well, we'll see
If I ever really need belief when I've got a friendly burning sea in my chest

I'm the hole
Now I'm detached
And so it goes again

Wasting all my money on wasted days in a wasted life
I'm turning in, not giving up
I just don't know how to get it right
You piece of shit, look what you did
How'd we end up here again?
Listening to critical role in the corner of a bar without a friend
I'm okay
I'm doing great
I'm doing fine, yeah, why'd you ask?
No my hands are not shakey
I swear they've always been like that
Don't wanna feel
Ain't tryna think
It's simple, Sam
Just take--STOP
I can't believe that I was made just to struggle alone with belief in my thoughts

What's the point
Fill this shit up I'm calling "me" these days

Dearly Departed

I had this feeling that we were it
I wish you would have told me
For you it don't exist

And all the times I thought you were trying
Was just you getting ready
To leave me behind

You don't wanna date no one
You need "to be on your own"
To "get your head on straight"
I guess I should've known

How long did it take?
Did you even wait?
Cause I can see your pictures
I know you're not alone

You owe me
You owe me
You owe me
Stop acting like you don't

I had this feeling of what I need
But you mean more to you
Than you ever meant to me

I'm checking every freckle on every wrist
But they will never match
The way ours did
I can't forget the straws
I can't forget your curves
If this can't get better
Just don't let it get worse
Just tell me that you're sorry even if you're not
You'll never be forgiven but
At least you'll be forgot 

You owe me
You owe me
You owe me
Stop acting like you don't

I never let you down
I only let you in
And I know this hurts my love but
Fuck being friends

I know that this it
I get this is the end
But there is still one thing
I need yet

You owe me
You owe me
You owe me
An apology

You owe me
You owe me
You owe me
An apology

You Owe Me

I was golden
Once upon a time
Waiting
For a heart like mine
You were fading
Ready to be freed
Always saying what you need
Exactly what you need
Was it ever me?

If you were mine
Don't you think?
We could just be happy
Cause I am yours
Can't you see?
We could just be happy

I guess not

I'm broken
You're a mess
So why am I
So into this
I knew better
So did you
But all I could think
While lying at your feet
Was what I'd write for you

If you were mine
Don't you think?
We could just be happy
Cause I am yours
Can't you see?
We could just be happy

Oh there was once upon a time
Where the world was mine
Now it's ready to implode
I guess we're better off alone
And now the only thing that's true
And this I learned from you
Is everything fades and there are no exceptions
Everything fades and there are no exceptions
Everything fades
There are no exceptions

If you were mine
Don't you think?
We could just be happy
Cause I am yours
Can't you see?
We could just be happy

I guess not

Tarnish

You
You bring out
Things that I don't like about myself
When you scream, I scream back
I'm so lost
Well, love is so much different than I thought

Lover, darling
Oh, here we go again
Let's go get drinks
But I hate all your friends
Why won't you speak?
I think I'm freaking out
That's it, I'm leaving
I love it when you yell

You
You bring out
A side of me I never knew myself
We sit
You stare
I work
You seem to always want to talk
Well, love is so much different than I thought 

Lover, baby
Here we go again
Don't you love me?
I love all my friends
Why won't you speak?
Like you'd be listening
You are so mean
I love you too darling

Love is so much different than I thought
Love is so much different than I thought
Love is so much different than I thought
Love is so much different than I thought

You roll your eyes, I don't know why
No one knows how mean you get at night
Especially when you're quiet
Thought I could just die trying
Well, now I know if I did die
I would come right up back to your side
Blaming you each night
Least I can say I tried
What can you say?

Lover, darling
Oh, here we go again, again, again, again...
Let's go get drinks
I've been drunk since ten
Why won't you talk to me?
I'm kind of freaking out
That's it I'll leave
I love it when you yell

Love is so much different than I thought
Love is so much different than I thought

Lover Darling (feat. drezzdie)

In a field
We laid alone
Watched the wind
Mocked its tone

We savored the sun
Ate on a cloud
We were still, fulfilled
What are we now?

If you're gonna' be with me
What's it gonna' take?
'Cause we could have our whole lives
But I don't got all day

Oh, baby bird
You sweet little soul
I don't know when
You grew so cold

You grabbed me first
My face in your hands
And you whispered
"I think I love you, Sam"

If you're gonna' be with me
What's it gonna' take?
'Cause we could have our whole lives
But I don't got all day

Mockinjo

I was coming over every night
Just to kiss you one more time
Waiting in my car out on your street
Hoping that you'd come running to me

But you would stop and you would stare
Wondering why I was there
I couldn't see that in your eyes
You didn't think that we were right

Well, so it goes

I was sitting on the edge of your bed
You were running around your room screaming
Telling me how little you were worth
Telling me how much more I deserve

I talk a lot but you talk more
It's a good thing your voice is something I adore
I hope you know, I hope you see
You're worth all the love I have in me

Well, so it goes

Buckskin and Satin

So I woke with a start
My thoughts running wild
My heart beating hard
I was thinking you were by my side
But there was only me
This man I do not recognize

Where did my patience go?
Who left me so broken?
I don't think I wanna know
When did I give up hope?
When did I stop dreaming?
I just thought we were so close

Oh, break me down
Oh, tear me down
Oh, let me sink into the ground
I'm not the stars
I'm not the sky
So why should I survive?
Leave me here
I want to rot
To decompose
To be forgot
And maybe someday when I revive
Maybe then I'll fit in with your life

With your life

I can't figure out what is true
I thought I wanted love
So why do I want you?
Oh, I lost belief long ago
That I was ever worth it
You just helped me know
That there will be no fights
There will be no closure
There is only wasted time
So, if this is the end
Where's my light? Where's my tunnel?
Where are all my friends?

I am a thought once barely said
I am an "easy heart, made to forget"
A simple phrase, a whispering
"I loved him once and then I left"
So now I will dissappear
I hope that no one finds me here
I cannot hope
I cannot try
I can never fit in 
With your life

With your life!

Written in 2017 as a means to understand, "Mossflower" was the song that helped me get sober. Fully self-produced from the ground up in my bedroom studio (and on my Twitch stream, no less), I wanted to put out a crucial piece of the journey that is understanding one's mental health. For me, lyrically, the bookend line "I don't want to be me anymore," speaks to recognizing the need to change and how admittance is the first step. Fast-forward to now, October of 2019, I'm almost two years sober and finally releasing music again. It's a pleasure to share this song and I hope you enjoy it!

Mossflower

"...And if you combine this with his delivery style, which is earnest (as said), but simultaneously sort of charmingly flamboyant, you have a portrait of a guy who is trying to work out his problems in front of you. . .Once you become familiar with Young’s stories, you’ll be happy to lend him an ear to listen, or even a shoulder to cry on." - Beatsperminute.com

"And whether it’s the ambiguity of where the divide is between Young himself and the character of Timberwolf, or the plethora of instruments utilised throughout, or the beautiful imagery and allegory he employs lyrically, whatever it is, the album has an inescapable sense of fantasy, magic and mystery all over it. Overall there is just something irresistible about it." - theYorker.co.uk

". . Timberwolf is a pretty original thing. . .His tracks remind me a lot of John Vanderslice the way the layers are added on slowly and then stripped down. It’s easy to get into Timberwolf and just let the tracks play." -hazyacres.com

“I’m a fan, simple as that and it’s hard to ignore the talent you are about to listen to . . I mean, come on, the voice and the guitar work? This dude must clean house when it comes to the ladies.” - musicwithoutlabels.com

"Yet the words here are earnestly and wittily written, packed with imagery, declarations, and one-off reflections on the feelings we all experience at one time or another . . The refusal to sum up feelings into catchy platitudes or to simplify them to character beats makes them worth listening to." - absolutepunk.net
