    THE ACTUAL ONE-of-a-KIND, HAND-CRAFTED CD

    We hope that you enjoy the years of heart, love, and craftsmanship that we put into this album. Not only in the music and songs but in the original, hand-crafted, one-of-a-kind album cover and packaging.

    We spent many hours drawing, screening, designing, sewing, and hand-crafting your very own, very unique album cover. From the vintage button, handmade button loop, hand screened cover, interior fabric, to the hand drawn art. No two are the same.

    The CD, CD liner, and album notes are professionally pressed.

Kids in Love 04:05
KIDS IN LOVE I might live and die an island With the regret of doing neither in my thoughts But it won’t be from lack of trying No it won’t be that at all I won’t flinch in the face of truth When we’ve committed to nothing less Still the fear I know in my blood and bones Comes from the light on my nakedness So let’s hold hands and remember before When our eyes were small and our thoughts were distant Let’s kiss deep like it was long ago When we were kids in love I’ve got no one to fall back on If the world I know turns inside out I could run from every trouble and still be under this dark cloud I might live and die an island with no regrets at all

Sisters 03:37
SISTERS Is it odd that I want A sister to call my own With time caught up like it was in my mind They all thought we were blood After a while I did too Never felt so close to anyone I'm afraid to find you The fire was in my hands I held them from my heart Sister you almost burned everything I loved to the ground I’ve been told that it takes wisdom And I found I don't want to be old Sister keep me in your mercies From the myths I know They all thought we were blood After a while I did too Never felt so close to anyone I'm afraid to find you

Be My Dark 04:45
BE MY DARK You say I don’t care but I care far too much See the lightning in my stare just gives it away I speak all the words that wound your failing heart Can’t seem to help myself anymore We’re together but we’re not together We’re alone but not alone So be my dark My head is a mess after the song we make I want to hold on to that feeling That nothing will ever change But I know what I know I’ve been down that road before They say love is pure but I am fickle We’re together but we’re not together We’re alone but not alone So be my dark
5.
Flares 04:53
FLARES The tides have washed me out From the trench I found In our love Being dragged away Now we try to forget it The memory of being close Like flares at the scene of an accident we burned In the great flood We lost ourselves With no one to save us Caught on the mountains We were wrong but I had my doubts Until it all went south Still I couldn’t bear being asked to stay Now we try to forget it The memory of being close Like flares at the scene of an accident we burn In the great flood We lost ourselves With no one to save us Caught on the mountains The deluge of guilt reminds me everyday That we were reckless and now I'm wrecked
6.
Hospice 04:55
HOSPICE I was afraid to see the death Take what I loved And we couldn't touch you Held there on that bed We talked about all you wished for And Dad wants to call and I can see in him the sad hope That maybe someday With all those Iv’s and wires It was hard to believe That you were still with us Save those kind words Now you are better With God and whole Like before the cancer and before the war I wasn’t ready to see you in that place I thought we had more time I thought we had more days
7.
YOUTH IS WASTED ON THE YOUNG She wore her Sunday dress To cover both our tracks Up to the sewing room I’m not the one you want to settle down with Truth be told I don’t tell it Maybe we could have a baby I’m just a criminal without a record found And no intentions of getting old I'm always running from myself and what I've done Youth is wasted on the young Maybe we could have a baby But God was not impressed At least that’s what she said Though I think we tried our best Well that's the consequence Of kisses between friends
8.
Patmos 03:48
PATMOS Oh my stars I did not miss it Light of heaven at my door Open eyes as mine are closed Touch a world I can’t touch now The poor in spirit called by name While death while death The poor in spirit called by name While death has lost its sting Puzzles spoke with great dark thunders Beggars sit atop gold thrones Tongues of bright and brightest fire Light the way for bride and groom The poor in spirit called by name While death while death The poor in spirit called by name While death has lost its sting

KIDS IN LOVE II I miss old friends right now Though I've grown without them That day I left for a girl was easy At least it was back then I miss our talks on God And long trips to the city The world was young and it was ours Open to us in a way it isn't now I miss the times we all spent together In the houses down south Playing at make believe And costume parties (We would) with an eye on tomorrow I miss old friends and now I'm feeling cold without them That day I left, that Sunday morning Was the day I walked alone I miss our talks on God And road trips on the weekends The world we saw from our hearts and cars Open to us in a way it isn't now I miss the times we all spent together In the houses down South Playing at make believe And costume parties With nothing between us (We would) with an eye on tomorrow

TENDERLY, TENDERLY I’m going to have a child now So that you can see at my age what it is To feel both young and old I’m going to have a child you know When she begins to show I’m going to have a child you know And I won't let this part go There is no pale horse coming There is no pale horse I’m going to have second thoughts Under the street light glow We'll argue at the doctor’s office In hushed and nervous tones I’m going to have a child you know When she begins to show I’m going to have a child you know And I won't let this part go There is no pale horse coming There is no pale horse He will have my name She will have your face Everything will be like it was There is a pale horse coming There is a pale horse He will have my name She will have your face Everything will be like it was When I look at them and see you
