When you're beat down and out-weighed by the bad heart, there is only one way to get the broken monkey off of your back: Sing it sad songs.

:Lost Cause:

The fist marks on the wall prove that, in this house lives a certain breed of loneliness. And inside the house cries a fiery mind. Who cares, just listen--we all know where this will lead us.

:Send Her Back:

My wife & I put this but together, was influenced while playing Skyrim.

epic song (demo).mp3

This song has come along way in the hands of many artists. They all gave their blood for it, and let it haunt for over five decades. This is a poor man's rendition on a windy day.

Long Black Veil

Murder Ballads and love songs are the oldest of songs, if not, the only songs out there. Murder and love go together like sex and violence; these four are mutually exclusive as well--Frankie Silver knows all too well.

Shitty Covers & Shitty Years

My Love For Evermore

Another tale for the windy days, and the nights when the curtains in a motel room will not open, and madness and murder switch places while love is out the door for a bucket of ice. 
Hide well, your innocence when you have it, for people out there collect it like pocket change.

The Kindness Of Strangers

It was the fourth night back from the bar, after walking two miles in the mud after the continuing rainstorm lasting thus far for two weeks, he gets to the wooden door of his house, looks back and only sees two headlights on a midnight road, heading on the other side of his world. The moon was not out, yet, and the stars shed their clothes, the night was pure ink, and the earth was a bowl of darkness eating half of the sky. He walked inside the house and placed his coat on the hook, he lit a cigarette and used its light to find his bed. He smoked while on his back; without the need for a lamp. The rain fell without thunder, heavy and wounded the drops ended upon a stoic roof. A million whispers fell outside to separate he from the places he'd been that night; from the women he'd seen; from the laughter he'd heard; from the heart he'd left behind. He put half of the cigarette in an old beer can, and reached over the bedside table, across loose change and a couple of old comic books, he found the mono radio and pressed play, and the tape started. The rain and static found each other, music started, and they began to dance in his head. He turned to his side and closed his eyes to find a slanted darkness. The radio played a slow song that easily twisted and turned through rain. It never became drenched, the music feathered its way out of the house and through the rain and into the night, far away to where water hushed the world and muffled light. The music turned back, and saw nothing, only the faint wavy outline of a small house hunched over between the fountain of stars, and the deep dark earth. Somewhere in those shades of loneliness, is a person, beating the odds of the world, with nothing but a song to save him.

I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry

There is only one place where the booze is harder than steel; there is a place where we wish pain wasn't real. 
In the depths of our sour hearts is where the dirty beast lives; we hate the cold hands that hold ours.
We are warmed by the sad ballads he sings to us, we are comforted by the vile truth when heartache is presented in widescreen format, we are cleansed by our fragile and dirty thoughts.
Another song of pain for a cold life, another song to keep us warm on cold nights.
 

:It Don't Hurt To Sleep:

remember that drink that said it all, the drink that took you to the edge and watched you fall? 
Everybody remembers that girl; even if you can't, your hands around the glass will tell you the story.

:Her Touch Is In My Drink:

So many roads, and dirt roads, and highways to choose from, but only a few songs make you walk them.
