Here I come out spur of the moment Changing my mind, yet again It's not my fault I was raised like this Go with the flow then go insane I wanted to walk out and join the circus I changed my mind, yet again I wanted to be a big rockstar I changed my mind, yet again I wanted to fall in love with the girl I changed my mind again and again I wrote a bridge for the middle of this song I changed my mind, yet again In this season I'm changing shape (My colors turning now) In my mind it's still the same (Got to keep it fresh somehow) I always wanted to be fit and thin I changed my mind all over again I wanted to be the president I changed my mind again They always said I had a good voice I changed my mind yet again I wanted to walk out in front of traffic I changed my mind yet again I'm dealing with life as best as I can I changed my mind again In this season I'm changing shape (My colors turning now) In my mind it's still the same (Got to keep it fresh somehow) Here I come out spur of the moment Changing my mind, yet again I wrote an end for this song I changed my mind again

Barely Dead 04:38
lyrics

Wake up for hours No sleep, feeling cold Every year is a year too much Dancing thoughts are haunting Every second lost; potential for slumber I'll pay whatever cost I'm barely dead I would sleep forever It sounds like a joke Feeling like cancer Bags under my eyes Grow heavy filled with anger I'm barely dead I wish I was Let me die It's too much to bare If silence is golden Then I would be drowning Let me die Maybe then I can rest My chest feels empty I know it gets much worse It gets so much worse From here on out It's downward now I wanna let go I wanna let I would sleep forever It sounds like a joke It feels like cancer Bags under my eyes Grow heavy Filled with anger I wanna let go

The Joker Got Away 04:59
lyrics
buy track
Walk through the hills and stone The fire started long before the joker Smoke rings bear witness The worst years are ahead of us Bring up transcripts for the angels They lie through their wood teeth and excrement They lie under halos Walk through the hills and stone The fire died and the ashes are gone Never forgive Never live Until you take on all the bullshit you control You are just passing by The moment you question, the clouds came crashing down The waves were heavy And you floated down What else have you to prove But to keep me on the move This is not what I wanted anyway These building of acolytes Burn faster with every blinking eye The sky bears its final scene Credits for the aforementioned joker Bring up transcripts of the Angels They lie through their teeth and bullshit Walk through the hills and stone The fire died and the ashes are gone

The Wind 03:21
lyrics
buy track
The Boy walked home alone When all calm broke Fear came close And breathing was heard "Don't be afraid It's just the wind" The moon looked scared The leaves under his feet Blood on the veins Now autumn is haunted Trees take shape of twisted traits The boys mind raped, the feeling fangs He felt followed and very close by Something had broke the calm with a cry "Don't be afraid It's just the wind" He started running When his mind said go Figures and shapes Turned to blurs and things One second one was gone Another hour had gone When he woke up in a field He had to move on "Don't be afraid It's just the wind" The boy kept walking When he heard someone coming Took to hiding in bush On the side of the road A women with a child Playing run the mile On the way home from church The boy started breathing And the child started screaming And the mother said "Don't be afraid It's just the wind"

about

"The Joker Got Away" debut EP has been remastered by band mate and good friend Garrett Bush. As proud as I am of the original product, the mix and final result was not as it could have been. Garrett cleaned up the original mix a bit and added some touches to a few tracks as well to liven them up more as an alternative take on select songs as well.
