STORIES (SOCIAL MEDIA BLUES)
You only ever bring me down
Bout that time we turn around
Let's leave this space walk solid ground
look to the sun and close our eyes
You only ever bring me down
We’re out of touch we do not feel
A rolling stone a broken wheel
Let’s move along to something real
Beyond the cloud and to the sky
We’re out of touch we do not feel
Do we make the change from selling stories
We don’t understand
It’s time we break away
From this electric circumstance
We’ll finally live our days, disconnected
Then we make our stand
It’s just a social phase
See what we do, see what we can
Next time I see you come around
I’m gonna burn this whole place down
Get on up, get out of town
Tell this story inside out
Next time I see you come around
Do we make the change from selling stories
We don’t understand
It’s time we break away
From this electric circumstance
We’ll finally live our days, disconnected
Then we make our stand
It’s just a social phase
See what we do, see what we can
You only ever bring me down
Bout that time we turn around
Let's leave this space walk solid ground
look to the sun and close our eyes
You only ever bring me down
Do we make the change from selling stories
We don’t understand
It’s time we break away
From this electric circumstance
We’ll finally live our days, disconnected
Then we make our stand
It’s just a social phase
See what we do, see what we can

AIN'T INFINITY LYRICS
Hold on close to the ones you love
Give a toast to the ones above
There ain't no time for everyone
So drink a beer and have some fun
We drank the whiskey till it ran dry
Said our prayers to the trinity
We may have laughed one million times
But that ain't infinity
You know when judgement day awaits
Shake off all those dire straits
You must be true, face your fears
Can't undo all those wasted years
We drank the whiskey till it ran dry
Said our prayers to the trinity
We may have laughed one million times
But that ain't infinity
Yeah, that ain't infinity
That ain't infinity
That ain't infinity

I lost another dollar
Took another pull
Heard you up and left me
So I drank till I was full
Drink a day, drink a night
Behind that whiskey grin again
Singin' like I'm sober
Drinkin' like I'm rich
If you come to find me
You might find me in a ditch
Drink a day, drink a night
Behind that whiskey grin again
Yeah, I got that whiskey grin
Can't wipe it off my face
Corn liquor just goes quicker by the shot
Bartender can I have a bourbon and a beer?
This fool be dancin' tough until he drop
Hey hey hey hey oh oh oh oh

THORSON & EVERMORE LYRICS
There was a queen who stood her ground
She lived in the sea and all around
Sometimes she hurt for the life at bay
For Thorson & Evermore were on their way
The sea was aflame, the sky dimmed low
She awaited the days of ice and snow
Occasional pirates braved the sea
While Thorson, Evermore retired their fleet
It's the end of the year and atmosphere
We float through glacial sweat and tears
Her kingdom now fed to the populous
That Thorson, Evermore served to us

KISS ME ONCE
Kiss me once I'm a fool, yeah
Kiss me twice, I'd be foolish not to find you out
Make you mine, make you love me
Take your hand, you are lovely tonight
Captive hearts were singing
Songs in different keys
Hold them close together
They beat in harmony, yeah, hear them sing
Kiss me thrice, I will love you
Four times, I'll forever be yours
Come on dance with me lady
Step with me, take my hand, and here we go
Captive hearts were singing
Songs in different keys
Hold them close together
They beat in harmony, yeah, hear them sing
Kiss me once I'm a fool, yeah
Kiss me twice, I'd be foolish not to find you out
Make you mine, make you love me
Take your hand, you are lovely tonight
Captive hearts were singing
Songs in different keys
Hold them close together
They beat in harmony, yeah, hear them sing

End of the Day (DEMO)

Slippin’ down the sidewalk, saw a father and son
Daddy had a guitar for the little one
Thinking of the songs they could play
When they reach the house at the end of the day
When they reach the house at the end of the day
Hit the end of my road, saw a mother and daughters
A bicycle and stroller it was down by the water
Mama tellin’ her stories, teachin’ her lessons
When they reach the house at the end of the day
When they reach the house at the end of the day
Nothin’s ever missin’ as I look back and smile
When I reach the house at the end of the day
Nothin’s ever missin’ it’s an honest life lesson
When I reach the house at the end of the day
Back to this space, I can finish a letter
Scribble black ink hope you feel better
Will reach you real soon across the Atlantic
When you reach the house at the end of the day
When you reach the house at the end of the day

Well let me tell you a story
Of one that passed, on a lover’s day
The other sat there a waitin’
Four days at the steps of the Maker’s gate
They claimed their love in the wildwood
Moved out west and settled in
Made a livin’, raised their family
Four kids, one dog, and a silhouette den
Well Pa, he told his tall tales
Tyin’ flies ‘n cigs in his liquor store
Each tale it had it’s meaning
Each tune, diff’rent than before
As time drew near
We all knew too clear
As the teller’s tales grew thin
That voice turned faint
And the flame swept away
To be carried by the next of kin, the next of kin
Now listen to this story
Of one that passed on a lover’s day
The other sat there a waitin’
Four days at the steps of the Maker’s gate
They had lived on love, not money
These two folk in that small town
Together they left early
Headed North, they’re Heaven bound

WORTH ITS WEIGHT IN SILVER LYRICS
Cross the bridge ahead
Half penny is your debt
You pick one up
Remove the curse
Don't stop until you're dead
In Dublin ye shall see
Lucky ye shall be
Two Pence the price
But now you're right
Drink whiskey till you're free
Did you live your life
Fight to make it shine
Around you only gold
When the story's told
If you sell your soul
Is it worth its weight in silver
The grass is never green
The sights are all unseen
You close your eyes
Awake this time
To nothing but a dream
Did you live your life
Fight to make it shine
Around you only gold
When the story's told
If you sell your soul
Is it worth its weight in silver
Is it worth its weight in silver
Is it worth its weight in silver
Is it worth its weight in silver

MATERIAL LOVE/LOVE IN THEORY LYRICS
My material love, in theory
It has wings above and below
And we fly away
And we catch the waves
In relative speed
I go, I go, I go
My material love, in theory
Sits on both sides of the glass
And it sees you
And it sees itself
With a dual recollection
You go, You go, You go
Is it light in the love that shines
Is it light in the love that fades away
My theoretical love, is real
You can touch, revel, and feel
We won't fade away
Despite sun and rain
Through magnificent lenses
We go, we go, we go
Is it light in the love that shines
Is it light in the love that fades away
Is it light in the love that stays
Is it light in the love that dies

And all the gathering we do
Throw your minds into a ree
That is what we do, in fact
