Description: Recorded live at the owl music parlor with Paul Steven Ray on guitar. Loose harmonic structure and composed melodies, but highly improvised and spacious. I originally conceived these as songs a few years ago but decided this spring to lose the words while trying to keep the feelings.

Music and Lyrics by Peter Wise

Did I squeeze too hard or not hard enough?
Did I waste too much time trying to grow it up right?
I’ve been putting in the labor, but the fruits don’t seem to favor my touch

Are you gone for good, or should I wait around?
Do you still want your old pillow, or should I throw it all out?
I’ve given you every kind of flavor, but my fruits don’t seem to cater to your touch

Spent all this time growing roots, but they only cut my hands
You’ll be judged by your fruits, and I’ve got nothing but rotting plans

If I hold the pitch will it finally change?
See the current switch, feel the sun on my face?
But the thought of leaving’s far too appealing and I don’t want to run this race anymore

I spent all this time growing roots, but they only cut my hands
You’ll be judged by your fruits, and I’ve got nothing but rotting plans

Follow the right, but the right went left
Fight for the lover, but the lover can’t rest
Sow the good seed, but it looks like you missed
Follow the right, but the right went left
Fight for the lover, but the lover can’t rest
Sow the good seed, but it looks like you missed

Spent all this time growing roots but they only cut my hands
You’ll be judged by your fruits and I’ve got nothing but rotting plans

So did I squeeze too hard or not hard enough?
Did I waste too much time trying to grow it up right?
I’ve been putting in the labor, but the fruits don’t seem to favor my touch
