Cuts So Easily 05:28
lyrics
buy track
Say to me / those last words that you say so playfully Cuts so easily / like you wouldn’t believe Repeatedly / I’ve been the first in this line of misery Though it always seems / like you never could see And it always sounds like you never knew If I tell you now and I let you know, would you still be you? But I wish I could weather this storm / cuz I just can’t go on if you’re so withdrawn / and you’re unaware / like you’re never there it ain’t ever fair Heart and sleeves / only match when the moonlight’s sweet to me Glows so greedily / as it’s bleeding me All the deal-making / plan-breaking phone calls you drop that you sell to me constantly / on and on until you STOP Cut so easily / like a guillotine Cuz I’m falling down like a parachute but your crystal ball doesn’t break my fall / if it’s deaf and mute I just don’t know what hurts more to say that you should go right now / or I need you now cuz you’re in my head / and I’m seeing red / from the words you said And I know right now that I never knew What you wanted me to become for you It’s the same old song / in a diff’rent key That you never heard so you’ll never see I was falling flat and I'm off the scene You can take a note / as an off-hand quote / but you best believe / that it's what I mean And it always sounds like you never knew If I tell you now and I let you know, would you still be you? But I wish I could weather this storm / cuz I just can’t go on if you’re so withdrawn / and you’re unaware / like you’re never there it ain’t ever fair It cuts so easily It brings me to me to my knees And it makes me wanna, makes me wanna make believe That you’re still here with me Cuts so easily It brings me down to my knees Recorded at Small House Except Hammond (Rich Rice's House) Mixed by Steve Serra © 2014 Small House, LLC

The Clouds 04:11
lyrics

When you wake up bright for the morning Then your mind moves / without warning Make your way outdoors to the sunlight Feel the first rays / like a frostbite All that noise beneath / any city street / was my downfall but I resolve to stand tall You can’t catch me sleeping and you won’t find me weeping cuz I got time to make up for my past mistakes / today / my day The clouds just break away When I look outside at the weather rain or shining / I feel better If I hang on tight to this feeling Do the foxtrot / on the ceiling All that noise beneath / any city street / was my downfall and I resolve to stand tall You can’t catch me sleeping and you won’t find me weeping cuz I got time to make up for my past mistakes / today / my day The clouds just break away Holding out for sweet degrees Only brings you to your knees When the sunshine beats your brow Keeps the focus from the now Dangerous like hurricanes But they might be in my brain Make a point to dial the sun When I can’t reach anyone (I don’t wanna get so tied up in a rainbow) Weatherman, don’t bother me With your cold philosophy On a sunshine afternoon Could be now or could be June Natural to such a T How the raindrops fall for me And they turn to lemonade As they rain on my parade On my fav’rite holiday All that noise beneath / any city street / was my downfall and I resolve to stand tall You can’t catch me sleeping and you won’t find me weeping cuz I got time to make up for my past / but sure no time to take up space today / today / one day / someday The clouds just break away

Hi, I’m the guy / from last night I think I’m pretty sure I saw you at Some no name laundromat I’m having dreams of you Fake-read a book / as I looked to see you rocking out to something or was it nothing? I’m having dreams of you Like to think you have it too, ah ha ha ah ha ha I’m only writing cuz I’m backed up from all the girls that had me cracked up I never do this kind of dumb stuff I hope you don’t think that I’m fucked up I’m having dreams of you Like the way you have them too I’d take you to a fancy rest’raunt I’d buy you anything you could want I won’t let any ghosts in your haunt Unless of course that’s what you would want Hi, I’m the guy / from last night I think you’re pretty, sure I saw you at A no name laundromat I’m having dreams of you I’m having dreams of you I’m only writing cuz I’m backed up from all the girls that had me cracked up I swear I never do this kind of dumb stuff I’m having dreams

small house songs - Ain't Nothin' 03:36
lyrics
buy track
Got some noise inside my head/ Gettin' Harder to sleep/ Made me think about you instead/ How you want it to be/ You only believe in/ The things that you readin'/ "I'll make the choice for you" You said/ Now I'm treadin' too deep/ I'm telling you everything/ But it don't mean anything to you/ So what can I to do?/ Got a voice inside my head/ It won't let me sleep/ Stayed awake for hours on end/ Just grindin' my teeth/ Still can't believe it/ It's like you need this/ I say a thing you don't understand/ Now I burn with this heat/ I'm losing I'm fading/ There ain't no winning situation with you/ There ain't nothing I can do

Stay Wait Leave Go 03:50
lyrics
buy track
You got me thinking of all of things that you say I had this feeling that things weren’t going your way You tried to crawl but instead you fell down the stairs You wanna wait but you know that there’s nobody there. The TV’s on as you desperately try to sleep You wrote it down but it’s not the words you mean You got success and your faith and your love and your fears Still saying “No” yet you still take it up the rear. You know I know that you’re seething You want to stay but we’re leaving And everything that you needed Just never fit with your reasons. Made up what you’re not and Hate the things you got and Shudder at the thought and Sold out what you bought and Muted, feeling deaf and Breathless stealing breath and Bluffing with the hand you’re dealing with Finding out you lost you Signed up to the cost you Tripped up on the trap that you set instead Take it all you said you Played it out instead you Called me back to say “Not much, not much…” You know I know that you’re seething You want to stay but we’re leaving And everything that you needed Just never fit with your reasons.
