Coats and gloves
And hot cocoa all around
While up from above come
Angels to the ground
And all I, all I
All I really want is love

Lights and wreaths
And carols on the street
While dogs fall asleep by
The gifts under the tree
And all I, all I
All I really need is love

Warmth in cups
And friends and family
While we all cuddle up
In front of the TV
And all I, all I
All I really want is love

Hymns and candles
Holly on the pews
While hearts sing as one
Of spirits born anew
And all I, all I
All I really have is love

X-mas Gift EP

All I Really

Track four from the upcoming 1984-themed EP entitled "Newspeak."

Newspeak

Room 101

I was the knight in shining armor in your movie
Would put your lips on mine and love the aftertaste
Now I'm a ghost, I call your name, you look right through me
You're the reason I'm alone and masturbate

I, I've been trying to fix my pride
But that shit's broken, that shit's broken
Lie, lie-la-lie, I tried to hide
But now you know it

That I'm at an all time low

I was the prototype like 3 Stacks on that CD
An example of the perfect candidate
Now all your girlfriends say that you don't want to see me
You're the reason that I just can't concentrate

I, I've been trying to fix my pride
But that shit's broken, that shit's broken
Lie, lie-la-lie, I tried to hide
But now you know it

I'm at an all time low

I, I've been trying to fix my pride
But that shit's broken, that shit's broken
Lie, lie-la-lie, I tried to hide
But now you know it

That I'm at an all time low

I’m at an all time low

All Time Low (Jon Bellion Cover)

There’s nothing but static
On the televangelist
Turning all the dials
But it just won’t end the hiss
Black and white keep fighting
And create a fuzzy grey
Images may surface
But I just can’t get them to stay

And I know
I don’t know
And I know
That there’s no
One who knows

People keep on talking
‘Bout the scenes from yesternight
Arguing the details
And if the script was tight
Praising all the colors
And the angles that were used
But impassioned, lifeless hornets
Were all the antennas transfused

And I know
I don’t know
I don’t know
How they know
That they know

‘Cause the signals
That the dishes are throwing
Aren’t these sounds and shapes
My screen has been showing
And it almost seems impossible
To try and reconcile the two
Yeah, these sounds and shapes
My screen has been showing
Don’t align with what
My heart’s undergoing

And I know
That there’s no
One who knows

Nothing but Static

Look

Run along, now; go
Take it all if you please
And pour gasoline down
This chimney

It’s quiet outside
There’s kids in the street
And I’ve got a matchbox
There’s not one for you, but there’s one for me

Run along, now; baby, go
‘Cause I’m not worth the pain in your eyes
Run along, now; baby, go
Let me burn in my house of lies

Oh, darling, calm down
Take your pretty little hands, and find your keys
Go sway in the playground
And float in the sea

Run along, now; baby, go
‘Cause I’m not worth the pain in your eyes
Run along, now; baby, go
Let me burn in my house of lies

Run along, now; baby, go
‘Cause I’m not worth the pain in your eyes
Run along, now; baby, go
Let me burn in my house of lies

Let me burn in my house of lies
Oh, let me burn in my house of lies

I Stole These Songs

Run Along

She lifts me up when she’s feeling down
Whips me overhead just to keep from drowning
In a sea of bullets fired straight below
Holds in her breath, fights to stay afloat
I shield her from the storm that’s coming in
Steeled for the war in the whirlwind
Taking every blow in the heat of the moment
Deflecting all the flow from her leaden opponent

She lifts me up when she’s feeling down
Whips me overhead just to keep from drowning
In a sea of bullets fired straight below
Holds in her breath, fights to stay afloat
I shield her from the storm that’s coming in
Steeled for the war in the whirlwind
Taking every blow in the heat of the moment
Deflecting all the flow from her leaden opponent

She lifts me up

Umbrella
She lifts me up
She lifts me up
Umbrella

I remember the smile on your face
When you used to recognize mine
You were smaller then
I was nearly divine

Oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

I remember the smile on your face
When you used to recognize mine
You were much smaller then
I was nearly divine

I remember the smile on your face
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
I remember the smile on your face
I remember

And now
You only fill me up when you need to feel
More powerful
And now
I’m just a part of your wall

Can you recall the shape of my face
When you used to think me alive
You were so small back then
I was nearly divine

Oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

Do you remember the shape of my face
‘Cause you’d stare in awe all the time
You’d always give me my space
Respecting the danger inside of me

And now
You only fill me up when you need to feel
More powerful
And now
When you look my way, no, you don’t see me
And now
I’m just a conduit to the happiness
Of your other things
And now
I’m just a part of your wall

My best friend, Sam Nelson, passed away earlier this month. We wrote and recorded this song in his (our shared) bedroom back in 2013. It incorporates pop culture references from Pokémon and Star Wars to The Lord of the Rings and Firefly while both making fun of the Christian music industry and paying homage to the old band DC Talk. I hope you enjoy its ridiculous nature.
