Drove back bout' 60 miles east - Searching for a point of view - In Redlands I - Can bide my time - but there ain't to much to do - That's why I moved bout' 60 miles west - To a place that's far from home - But it's - Full of folks I don't relate to - So now I always go -
Back and forth (4X)
The homeless man that (2x)
The homeless man that (2x)
The homeless man that lives inside his head - Lives outside my door - In that - Alleyway - Beat down and dazed - I ask myself once more - Will I ever find my place - Yeah Fasho - Will I ever win this race - Take it slow - Well I suppose I always play it safe - So I'll just spend my days - Back and forth -
Back and forth (4x)

Back and Forth

Take Graffiti off of LA - And paint those walls something safe - But if the danger sees the windows broke - The danger'd make the people choke - Do you suppose - You would find a safer place to hide - Would you finally lay down your pride - You won't -
Easy come, Easy Go - Easy come
You've given up the ghost before - Traded it for something more - You exchanged - Your life for something you could save - A soul they couldn't put in the grave - Oh no
Easy come, Easy go - Easy come, Easy go
You can run (15X) - You can
Easy come, Easy go - Easy come, Easy go Take take take take take - Take graffiti off of LA

Easy Come Easy Go

Kicking rock's in my home town - I haven't gone to far - Family's home for holidays - I'm home at the bar - Insanity - Sanity
Reading through a picture book - I think I see a ghost - I see a face that knows my name - It offers up a toast - Imperfect - Yet perfect still - Is it worth it - Time will tell - Your happy - Sometimes it's true - your laughing - What else can I do-
Insanity - Sanity
Insanity
Kicking rocks in my home town - Wishing pon' a star - They're falling with amazing grace - Back to where they start -
Insanity - Sanity
Your not insane (4x) - Insanity

Thanksgiving

I don't even care about winning anymore - I don't even think that I have what it takes - Anyways I obeyed the phase that made me crazy for some time -
Still not a day goes by that I don't try to feel something - Anything, everything most days it's nothing - But when I connect to myself - Nothing else -
Compares - Ooo oo - ha ha ha - ooooo oooo ooo oooo
Did you ever learn to lose - Well your gunna lose something - Everything, Everyone end up with nothing - It's not how you wanna be - Do you trust me -
Well did I ever feed you lies NO - I tried to be honest - Honestly, honest to goodness I'm on it - I promise to make myself proud - Cuz' nothing else -
Compares
no no no no
I don't even care about winning anymore - Guess I've gotten use to waiting for something more - Anyways I obey the phase that makes me still and gives me strength -
It's not in vain I hope to grow old and go down in flames... - Saying I did my best so oh well - And nothing else - Compares
Nothing else compares

The Selma Acoustic Demo is first draft recordings for an upcoming full length EP. The song writing is lyrically mostly (but not exclusively) a bit sad sack'y and musically it emphasizes melody and harmony in the style of artist like Elliott Smith and Nick Drake.
