Everything I Own is Broken

“Blues, soul, indie sensibilities, unorthodox time signatures, and white hot guitar distortion; it's like they had my precise musical interests in mind while crafting these songs.... That was very considerate of them.”

“I fucking love this piece of broken paradise. EAT IT. HEAR IT. BE IT.”

Miss Carolina
I caught you lovin' with the lights low
Just night stand the diamonds
And let them dangle off the deep end
I know you like to be alone in the summertime
And that is alright
Back to the street scene
To where the girls shake and burn their youth
Just like Elvis Pressley
Breaking the Antebellum blues
I heard your fathers from the city and your mom is doing time
For a red dress and a devil on the mind
I know your just as lonely as all the people that you talk about
Miss Carolina
I caught you lovin' with your lights low
Excuse your lateness
I can tell that you mean it
Back to the arms of your man
Don't worry how I'm keeping warm
I know your just as lonely as all the people that you talk about
Miss Carolina... - Track Name: Gold Tooth
-
Release yourself from the burdens you carry
Release yourself, man, and just live where you lay
On a bed of nails or a coffin of roses
It makes no difference, just live where you lay
It was the better of days, when the sun dropped out by noon
And cast her profile across the room
All there was to say were dumb thoughts and petty observations
About the people they knew
When you wake up low and the newsfeeds say
She's got a fake gold tooth and a baby on the way
Dont you ever look back
Oh, but when you look back
Back when the fields bled green on LSD
In a counterfeit construct of '69 in 2003
The colors always look right and the uniforms precise
For a final reenactment before the dimming of the lights
She gave up cigarettes for deep breathes
She gave up whiskey for wine
She gave in to foreign concepts
Like consistency and time
...Like consistency and time
All from a pink tract house and another from of time
When you wake up low and the newsfeeds say
She's got a fake gold tooth and a baby on the way
Dont you ever look back - Track Name: Between the Gutters and The Ballrooms
-
When I get up
I give up
In the worst of ways
When I get done
I get gone
Shoulder on and say
Theres always something missing anyway
You get away
You get away from me
The circus calls, go run now, fractured sweet
Between the gutter and the ballroom
I loose the fight every night
I loose the fight every night
I loose the fight every...
Who are you loving now?
Who are you loving now?
Who are you loving now?
That your secrets are safe with me
There you go... - Track Name: Outside a Hexagram
-
On days when fields are shallow
I'll crawl through broken window
Oh the civil wars
Fought in our heads
All we do is pretend
All we do is pretend
Believe you're right
Don't fade before your time
Know that we'll be fine once we've been found
Distance underground
Fade - Track Name: Everything I Own is Broken
-
Follow me and come to see the world as compromised
Perfectly as dreams
Everything I own is broken, everyone I know
Knows to stay away
I remember well
When hangman cried and offered resignation
While the children sighed their apologies to god
I rubbed my crystal ball
And threw it through a storefront
Yes, I threw it through a storefront
Oh priceless phase
Oh endless days
Oh god these chains around my neck feel so tight
But I asses the view
As horizons
And the present just fades away

Time and again I have suspended by tongue and no questions were raised
But whats fighting for but liquor stores and a network of roads?

- What is a life to be free? Cold?
- Track Name: On Borrowed Time

Your busted El Camino
Your Rockefeller sass
Makes no sense in California
How did you think it would pass?
Your protected sense of freedom is just a faded autograph
Heres to the night
Heres to whatevers left
On borrowed time
Or an eternal holiday
Carved your name inside of Chino
For "shov'lin" adderall to kids
Got yourself an education
A crate of books and a ticket to the east
You might be able to out run the cops
You might be able to get by peacefully
You might find reason in Evangelical beliefs
But you can never out run your pedigree
Heres to the night
Heres to whatevers left
On borrowed time
Or an eternal holiday
Who will bitch about the radio?
Who will carry on the medicine shows?
Who will care less about everything?
Once you get bored with this place
Just like every other
Oh, you know how that goes
So
Heres to the night
Heres to whatevers left
On borrowed time
Or an eternal holiday - Track Name: Oakland and Anaheim (Ain't Divided by the 5 Tonight)
-
The police gunned down Julian
On the porch of his parent's home
Bullets not meant for animals, much less men
The spotlight shines as the winds kick up
And the trees exhale the crows
Tonight gracious living is put on hold
The stretcher carried Julian
From ambulance to morgue
Shallow breathes, yes, but no contest to behold
The hangman gets paid holidays
To legitimize his role
Tonight gracious living is put on hold
The police gunned down Oscar Grant
A man I'd never known
Holdin' him down like dogs, though strength can't be dethroned
By simpletons with cowboy pins
By marksmen who miss their mark
Tonight the bright side of the bay is dark
The boys in black keep pushing me
To burn it to the ground
When I just want to process
What's been goin' down
And raise my glass to good men
Taken down too young
By pensioners and perverts
Who draw their strength from furnished guns
Although we did not speak
And although the end is here
Hey Julian, we finally got that beer
Hey Julian, we finally...
Oakland and Anaheim ain't divided by the 5
Tonight... - Track Name: Everything I Own is Broken (Fixing Fucked-Up Shit Version)
- Everything I own is broken...
