Walking 03:24
I met a twelve year old disciple he said I was six feet under he looked at me with one eye said I am the moon I am the thunder Pain is the sigh of yesterday translucent and slowly showing on your shoes ten miles forward ten miles back looking for something you didn't lose ooh, la, la ooh, la, la I don't know if I have a God but my mother likes to think that I've got her's Help me, help me operator I'm jaded but my words don't slur Heaven's for the faint of heart and hell is for the folks that stay the same I don't know which one's for me but one will surely be glad I came You and I are quite the same go on and hold your tongue but not in vain climb the highest picket fence don't lie and tell me that you are impressed Oh cause nothing that you build will stand tomorrow and nothing that you say will leave a scar there's nothing in your lies that you can't borrow and nothing in your eyes to keep me here H E Y I met a twelve year old disciple he said I was six feet under he looked at me with one eye said I am the moon I am the thunder Don't cry for me, don't die for me Don't cry for me, don't die for me

Blue 03:24
Leave today and I'll come back tomorrow cross your heart and I'll cross mine too when I close my eyes I hope I'll see you in color and not just shades of blue When you look out your window do you see your reflection or all the little people and places staring at the sun I'd like to see them but they don't know I'm watching always looking for someone Time interrupts like a snowstorm in August always there always speaking her mind I can't stop my hair from growing and growing I can't stop the time Leave today and I'll come back tomorrow cross your heart and I'll cross mine too when you close my eyes I hope you'll see me in color and not just shades of blue I still hope the sun is shining wherever it finds you I hope you never, ever get lonely when you are alone I don't think of you often I long for you more than always I hope you know my love inside your bones

Queen Anna 03:24
Queen Anna come help me extinguish the fires of June the people they ache and I fear that they may not end soon so gently we love in the morning and wish for the moon walk with me my broken June My sweltering blisters scream out your name oh, July the flowers they sway but they weep and soon they will die perpetually gleaming but all you do is cry I bless you miss eager July The happy young people and their knowledge erupting August the hopes of a lifetime filled with passion and meaning and trust I will not be home I'll be gone collecting rust It's a new love my August

Because 04:58
Don't want to see in black and white I can't pretend that I'm alright so I'll come home and I'll try to undress If walls could talk they'd tell me I'm a mess and my hair is on fire all the time I'll smile and nod and say I'm doing fine You make me feel like I'm in a movie paint a picture of how it really should be and I'll come home like I always do and I wish you'd worship me like I worship you and I'm not sure who I thought you were but those thoughts were real and they're all that I heard Because Because I need you and I hope you need me too Because Because I need you and I hope you need me too I'm so alone but maybe that's my duty to be young and admire your own beauty I'm my own fire my own salvation I don't need your God and I don't need your nation and I don't know what to do and I don't know what to say you give me love and you take it all away Because Because I need you and I hope you need me too Because Because I need you Do you need me too
5.
Sleep beside me watch my flowers grow Plant my garden you are an early snow Every pair of shoes you’ll outgrow And someday we’ll just be smiles on a slideshow Walk beside me hold on to my hand Clothed in fire and you ask me how I am Alone in your bed again, well I guess I’m your man There’s always truth in your lies and I finally understand I know, I know, I know, I know I love you but I’m letting you go Yesterday is the fruit that won’t go bad The times I was happy the times that you weren’t sad When I think of love I smile and know that I’m still glad Of all the pain in my life your love was the best pain I’ve had I know, I know, I know I love you but I’m letting you go I was broken today and I’m still broken tonight I was hoping you’d care I was hoping you might Because you are a dream and I am a sleepless night And with you blade in my heart well I guess I’m all right I know, I know, I know I love you but I’m letting you go

about

It's dark and we were driving down a snowy back road in rural New Jersey. Branches kept brushing up against the windows of his mom's car, one knocked the cigarette out from between my index and middle fingers. With one hand on the wheel and one hand holding a Wawa quesadilla, Gabe turned to me and asked, "Do you know what the Jersey Devil is?"

A love letter of thanks and hell yeahs,


To Gabe, you are the rock of this project and the reason it all came to fruition. I'm so glad that this big, bad world brought us together to create. To Evan Rudenjak, for having an open heart and mind when making this record with me. We understood each other so quickly and we made a really special thing together, I'm still pissed that my first Wawa experience was gross though. To Gabe's sweet angel mother for taking us in and feeding us. To all at the Moore house, the people that sifted in and out of those doors knocked me on the side of the head and reminded me that art is the strongest/strangest thing we have and it brings us all together whether we are aware of it or not. Thank you for embracing your inner weirdness with me and being absolute FIENDS. To Mom and Dad, thank you for trusting me and respecting me. To Dunks, my danskos, PBR, baths, anti-depressants, Steven Tyler, Dosa Factory...


LOVE,

BRENNAN
