didn't think i'd be talking to you for the rest of my life
although i wanted to, i never even tried
cause its easier to miss something that you have to live without
but always in dreams of you it pours easy out my mouth:
i'm so ashamed of what i put you through and i know that rings a bell
every day i couldn't talk to you was like missing part of myself
i feel so much about the fact that i was in that situation
people tried to advise, but that train had left the station
cause its easier to ignore the bad for the good of the moment
and once something's got you hooked its hard to not keep going
i'm so ashamed of what i put you through and i know that rings a bell
every day i couldn't talk to you was like missing part of myself

missing part

now that im here.wav

if i write you, send it back
and that seal better be intact
you should know now not to take my words with heed

i'd prefer not to only see you in my dreams
so many times i thought you had cursed me
then i figured you wouldn't waste that energy

i wonder what you think about
did the Backrooms ever glitch out?
i always thought that was deeper than it seemed

it's hard to say i wish we're friends
cause that was never the intent
to try we'd have to change everything

like that one night out on the dance floor,
a screaming match outside High Horse
drove 90 and drunk with my tank on E

we both wanted us to change
in the guise of bound soulmates
passion in the absence of restraint

i know there's more than just one kind
i still believe you're one of mine
maybe not in a way that could sustain

so if i write you, send it back
and that seal better be intact
we both know now when it's time to leave

pedal steel by J. David Carrera 
bass by Nobie Martin

I haven't kept sweets in the house since you left
I even stopped smoking those pricey cigarettes

It's hard to act like you don't catch my eye
I miss getting to kiss you when we say bye

Life's little pleasures are no where to be found
And it all started when you stopped coming round

I cried into your sweater, the one that you gave
Because the smell of you had faded away

I miss trading mixtapes of cheesy love songs
But they still make me feel less alone

If this song finds you and you like the sound, 
Pick up the phone and invite me round

life’s little pleasures

one wrong turn and i totaled my car
one street over from the corner bar
secret roof, secret park,
secret shots of bourbon alone in the dark

that night, i said i wanted to "leave"
obviously it wasn't meant to be
"you have to talk to the people that love you"
you can't keep walking with secrets in your shoes

what you've done, you can't take back
now you can try to learn how to act
funny how i thought i was ashamed before
DUI, breakup, a perfect storm

burning paper on the equinox
surrounded by people, alone at RUX
guitar lesson on the 27th,
Logan's coming in on October 7th

new tattoo looks like a ruler,
but it's crooked as a dog's leg,
looks kinda stupid
marks on my body that i've made

physical is not the only change
now that this has happened, what's my next mistake?
i don't know, but i'll see how it goes.
seems like this was a perfect storm.

perfect storm

The night I was arrested
I was driving to you
Hoping something bad would happen
Thought I deserved for it to
But thank god it didn’t
I didn’t make it very far
Ran into a telephone pole
Told her I wanted to end it all
But I was trying to drive up to 
That swing set at the park
Sit with that tree you love
Hoping you’d show up
I just wanted to see you
More than anything 
And still, right now,
That’s all that I can think

Song based on/inspired by House Song by Searows. 
All credit to him for chords, melody, even word pacing. 

Three room house with a big back porch
And a yard the size of the world
Running out of cigarettes 
And the horseshoe fell off the door

Marching out to be picked up by a friend
Are you talking about before?
Making out up against the wall 
And the frat boys party next door

Sitting out in the sun stoned and listening to my roommate talk
About his life, about his dreams last night 
And the state of today’s wars

You come over again and you stay the night 
Just like you have before
It’s days on end and I don’t want you to go,
So I ask you if you won’t

forest park road (house song- searows)

don't know what i thought that i'd been doing, but it's the same exact thing as what i've always done. when getting "home" tattooed on my chest, I didn't consider the things other people would think of. there are certain things that i do just for me and don't even think about anyone else ever seeing it. sometimes i lack this thought in my art and it tears me apart i can't stand the idea of not being able to make my art. 

automatic song 1

the paper outside stuck 
under the silver standing ashtray
had a graphite star facing up
now it's in somebody's trash can

I drew it and now it's gone
claimed by the 30 mph winds we've had
I hadn't been home in so long
when I finally came back I didn't recognize it

garbage on the porch
ashtray full of cigarettes and old j's
I can't believe it's March
throwing a party for you, but maybe

maybe we're breaking up
talk it out over the next many days
Carter called me out last night
"Levi are you okay? Something's not right"

had a feeling it was wrong
if it's so wrong, why don't you call it off?

call it off

You got me wrapped round your little finger
Feels so good I have to stay and linger

Yeah you got me wrapped round your little finger

I know we can beat this weather
Until then I’ll let you wear my sweater

Yeah you got me wrapped round your little finger

Feels so right whenever we’re together
In fact I’m sure I’ve never felt better

Yeah you got me wrapped round your little finger

babe ‘fore you don’t think I’ve ever known pleasure
Yeah you got me wrapped round your little finger
