Verse 1:
Think about it all the time
From the word-set-go
Old times, mistakes so kind 
Never did I know 

Big plans in so many ways
Didn’t care or worry 
Patience stretched across the world
Never in a hurry 

Chorus:
Don’t put me to the test :

Verse 2:
Months pile high and higher
Pressed by someone’s jury 
Is this that chance out for me?
Always so dumb and hurried

Hardened hearts and fire brigades 
Reasonable experience
Nada over and over again
Where’d all the fun went?

Chorus:
Don’t put me to the test :

Evangelize 
With those big eyes 
And these lonesome dreams

Beware of the times
You forgot about 
And remember everything in between 

Turn around 
Walking random fields 
Forgotten mines
Tinier times

Thinking about
What you’re doing now
Forgeting everything in between

Evangelize Demo

Pressure in Her Head

The first single and third song from the album Euphoriphobia

Home In The Rain

Crime

Lyrics:

Above the clouds above the sky 
Office hundred stories high 
it’s a booster seat
never helps you see

what’s the weather like outside?
what’s the date? What’s the time? 
it’s a mystery 
every day and week

Chorus

I know I let you leave
Why did I let you leave? 
You were right there in front of me
Within a whisper’s reach 

Verse 

Know/no I never did things right
Rarely even said goodnight
Laid you away
Come back someday

Now I want my life to bloom  - 
Alone here in this room
I say your name
So so in vain

Chorus

I know I let you leave
Why did I let you leave? 
You were right there in front of me
Within a whisper’s reach 

Bridge 

It’ll be better when
Is a maze that never ends 
Never ever ends
Never ever ends 

Chorus

I know I let you leave
I know I let you leave?
You were right there in front of me
Within a whisper’s/ reach 

I know I let you leave
I know I let you leave?
You were right there in front of me
Yet, I didn’t speak

What was I thinking / why? / I’m so sorry

Double Blind

Turn off the radio
Turn off the Spotify
Turn on the way you look at everything
That passes

Every car with its windowpanes
Pressing up against the rain
Splintering light into its halting haziness 
Constituent parts

Over and over the bridge
Upward and on to the nighttime
Going somewhere
Driver beware 
Into the right time
Is there a right time
Or is the time just right.

It’s the frame of a factory
That once was and again will be
Every mile on this long highway
Could be the same mile

Every touch of the light breaks through
Every shadow that touches you
Every car in this rolling plain
Seems to combine in rhyme

As we go
Over and over the bridge
Upward and on to the nighttime
Going somewhere
Driver beware 
Into the right time
Is there a right time
Or is the time just right.

I don’t want inertia
To be my driver
I only want to go
Where I go

I don’t want momentum
To be my driver
I only want to go
When I go

The Right Time

Turtles

Yesterday when we were rowing in the pond and I said,
“Lots of little turtles round here.”
Yesterday when we were rowing in the pond and I said,
“Lots of little turtles round here.”

Don’t take me back to the darkness
Don’t take me back to the darkness
Don’t take me back to the darkness
Cause there are lots of little turtles round here.

I think that I might have these feelings just for you 
But I don’t quite remember your name
A child is a child who’s pretending that he wants to be 
He wants to be a child again.

Don’t take me back to the sadness
Don’t take me back to the joy
Just take me back to the darkness
Cause there are lots of little turtles round here.

Birthday party swimming in the pool
But it’s a cyclone that’s roaming in my mind
How can you process something you don’t understand
When you don’t even have the language at the time 

Don’t take me back to the darkness
Don’t take me back to the darkness
Don’t take me back to the darkness
Cause there are lots of little turtles round here.

I can see it through those eyes 
Black and damp and misty in the mist.
Vision is a fist
When its been decades since the picture did exist. 

Don’t take me back to the weirdness
Don’t take me back to the joy
Just take me back to the darkness
Cause there are lots of little turtles round here.

Turtles

I finished writing this song at 1am on June 19th and this is the raw and first full  audio recording I did. I wrote this song because it was what I needed to hear. I am just grateful that Amplify with Indivisible Chicago Northwest thought that others should hear it too.
