[Verse 1]
The moths are flying towards the light
You’ve been dancing in their shadows through the night
If you’re unsure what to do, don’t worry I see you
I’ll lend my hand I’ll give you my advice
I can’t believe the time you’ve wasted just to be
With a manager who could never manage faithfully
Now he’s got you down and the tide’s come up
And the things you’ve done are eroding us
[Pre Chorus 1]
This has come down to a simple thing. When it’s not about you it’s about him
[Chorus]
And the tears you’ll cry through your naïve eyes but you saw this coming
And the way he steals the way you feel it’s a long time coming
There must be a different way. Don’t you play dumb with me.
[Verse 2]
I’ll read your texts, we’ll talk all night, you’ll waste my time
You want pity for your sadness but you’ll never make it right
How could you defend a coward who is hiding from the truth?
He says “I’ll talk to you when I talk to you”
But he was never there to leave you
I don’t care if she’s a bitch he’s still her man and she’s alive
You hoped for this all along and now you’ve crossed a line
[Pre Chorus 2]
You can sleep with whom you like
but I’ll tell you when you’re wrong and when I’m right
[Chorus]
The tears you’ll cry through your naïve eyes but you saw this coming
And the way he steals the way you feel it’s a long time coming
Don’t you lie I know you see. The truth is out, so who you gonna be?
[Break Down]
I never meant to hurt you; I only wanted you to see
If it’s worth trusting him is it worth trusting me?
What happened to the innocence that we once knew
What was lies and what was truth?

Braided (EP Mix)

How do you say goodbye to a friend
When all you know is braided ‘til the end?
Can’t forget or just pull a lever
All mixed up and worse for the weather
I had a second thought the other day
I saw You’re doing better and that’s great
Should everybody get right back together?
All mixed up and worse for the weather
It makes you question yourself
And put your heart on a shelf
You wonder “what did I say?”
Either it’s wrong or it’s gray
Another chance will not make it better
All mixed up and worse for the weather
‘cause I remember every time that you cried
Always drama ensued; It’s good times coupled with lies
Maybe apart from the past is not a bad place to be
Let’s face the truth you were a bad friend to me
We were bad friends can’t you see?
It’s not like before
I don’t know how to talk to you anymore
I know you can’t say goodbye to the truth
I guess it’s just the past You’ve gotta lose
It’s gonna hurt before it gets better
All mixed up and worse for the weather
It makes you question yourself
You put your mind on a shelf
You wonder “am I an ass?”
Forget it all in the past
We tried it over again
It didn’t fit in the end
Commit it to memory
We’re braided eternally`

CVS

What did you do to us?
It’s been so damn tough
Since I don’t work at the record shop anymore
I hate your damn politics
They make me so damn sick
Its tearing us apart
We’ve taken it too far
I don’t know what to do
Standing behind your house
Dumpster at CVS
We wasted all our time
We didn’t know it yet
You wouldn’t talk to me
After you got married
I guess I did it first
Threw you away to protect myself
I miss your poetry
I miss being 23
Friends when we were 16
Back when you took me seriously
Life was so boring then
But it was simple too
It’s hard to appreciate
Until your miserable life is through
How did all these years go by
I miss it all I want to cry
I wish I didn’t take six years to write this
Take six years to write these wrongs
Take six years to write these wrongs

Album out Friday Nov 10th
Singles out now.
Princeton EP out now.
