Love & Gasoline ep
Distance = Danger
I've been thinking we should pull this over
Put this heap on the shoulder, let's have it out right now
Because I've been thinking I should take breather. A little rest and reprieve now.
Some time out on my own
And you need a little more conversation, Little Miss Laceration.
You're cutting up my words.
The distance is danger. The movement is stranger. Where'd you learn this behavior?
So I need a little less self immersion. Fewer cruel diversions and a little less alcohol.
You make a little more room for fiction. Little less fact and friction and a little more rock and roll.

Curtain Call
You're like a bad record stuck on repeat, so I'm washing the smell of you off my sheets.
Taking your name off of my machine
There's no reminder like our broken trust. Like you just got up and then walked out on us.
With nothing to eat, no butter to bread. No keeping in mind what the good book said.
I love you but you've already made up your mind. I'm sorry but I've wasted enough of your time.
Now don't you go pointing any fingers at me. You think I'm to blame but you handed the key.
Right off to another thinking I would not know. But then I was standing below standing below.
And I love you but I've already made up my mind. I'm so sorry but I've wasted enough of my time.
I have no hard feelings, though time will tell. At least we can say we knew each other well.
So we'll take a bow and be on our way, let these be the final words we say.

Islands Abound
Where did you go? I waited all summer for you to come home, a half a mile from here
Your green sweater roamed, but my camera caught you in my home.
Now I can see right through your smile.
Marginal Way was down. We had to find another way around
Islands abound. Half will be land, and half will be Sound. Do you know how to swim?
Do you care? As I check my pulse to see if I'm there. Could you save my life?
Marginal Way was down. We had to find another way around
Would you stop by? Would it kill you to even say hi every once in awhile?

Battlescars
I've got a picture of my heart taped to my chest, to give the impression I'm keeping it.
I'm choosing my battles and picking my scars, to make battlescars out of beautymarks.
I think you're trying to give me cancer by stealing my air, that I store in containers under my chair.
With a cross-eyed expression you explain to me, that cancer's the victim, and I'm the disease
Why do you fool yourself into thinking you're breaking the rules
Why can't I choose one life on the open waters blue
I've got an aching for wisdom in the very worst way, while you're stealing my vision for private display
The echos from children long grown up long gone. A trace from a memory I kept too long
Why do you fool yourself into thinking you're breaking the rules
Why can't I choose one life on the open waters blue
With the right mix of love and gasoline, we could torch this whole city

Three Years
I'm never gonna give up your love. There's something about it and I just can't get enough
Wrote it on the back of my hand, tried to tell you, but I know you won't understand
I'll never let you take back your love
You try and fight it but push always comes to shove
Put it in the folds of my skin
Where you won't find it unless you let me in
I've waited here for you
You don't even know what I'm going through
For three years, new me, no you
I'll never ever forget your love
When I wake up it's the first thing I'm thinking of
Permanently etched in my mind
But don't you worry, it happens like this sometimes

Westward Bound (The Whitest Blankets)
Roll the firecracker in your hand. Light the other end
Toss it out into the clear black sky and let the noise begin
Let the neighbors try and stop you
Let them try and break your way
Let them listen to the soundtrack of your leaving
Independence day
Let the sirens echo in your head
As they chase you out of town
Make a mad dash to the county line
Westward bound
Let the neighbors try and stop you
Let them try and break your way
Let them listen to the soundtrack of your leaving
Place your hands upon your knees to take a breath
And to look back
Nestled underneath the whitest blankets, sleeping in a tent
Now the neighbors can not stop you
They will never break your way
They'll never listen to the soundtrack of your leaving
Independence day
