How could I be so careless and understated. We cant be done. I can’t be stuck here waiting. Stay here with me. you cant just go away. Stay here with me. Dont go. Just stay. Dont tell me the truth I love when you lie. I love when you lie to me. Dont tell me the truth Don’t tell me goodbye. I love when you lie. I’ll need your help your help to get throguh this. I feel like im left out of heaven. im useless. Take me back to the place where we first met. So i can relive my last moment before death. You said this island would sink like Atlantis. So let's see what happens next.

The world was hers and she was mine. She chose me every single time. She laughed at horror movies And just like Hollywood, she lied. We took the crosstown from the west end to the shore. she tossed her hair the wind and i wanted more. She would always make me better I would only make things worse We would always say forever We will be Forever cursed. The summer felt like forever. She bit her lip and pulled me in. We’d lay arm in arm in the tall grass watching the cloud pass over head. I'm the one who is missing out when theres nothing left to hold on to. Still i'm grasping your photographs. in my head i am missing you.
3.
I still think of your bed that we never slept in. We were always avoiding everything. if you could see me with the girl you never liked so you could feel the way that i feel tonight. I'm keeping your old things as close as I can. Im reading your note over again. You're not the one who's spending tonight alone. And I know who you're taking home. I hope your as happy as you seem. with your perfume and cheap whiskey. We have to speak to each other instead of empty bottles and cobblestone streets.

Makeshift Wings Dont Fail Me Now Melted Wax and Feathers Coat the ground. I am falling backwards with every new step. My lungs collapse with every breath. I will leave a trail of regret. Of all the words I thought but never said My legs are weak But my mind is sturdy I’ll survive tonight If you can carry me. My ribs are bursting at the seems. I’ll cross the line for just one reason. If I can make it through the night I will leave everything behind. My heart was leaning on you. But now It is learning not to.
5.
I Was left to fight for my life You said bridges tend to burn and you’re right. I wont need any body else. I’ll be fine by myself. Im burning every every single picture of you from our old place you used to find me charming but i lost my way. i hope you see my face while you're falling out of fashion. I’ve known you long enough to know that you have had your doubts. I hope this makes you happy now The fire we had burned out.
6.
I keep doubting What I hear about you But you know me after all. Give or take a few years is all I’ve got. I’ve come way too far. Were you waiting for someone else? The answer is still the same. We have gone through this all before. You ruined everything. There’s no exuse you’re the crowning jewel. they’ve been blaming you for years. It’s been said that you think to much but you couldn't match my fears. There’s holes in the ceiling and cracks in the floor. there’s something unsettling about what is in store.
7.
Feel it down below Like scars and broken bones. Im not afraid of the dark I'm horrified of who we are. Digging up my tunnel vision I’ve been down too long. I can see who I’ve become I’ve given up too much. So many secrets I keep. Some that I Still dont beleive. Show me what I’ve done. Im not bothered by silence. while you’re scratching at the itch My lips stay shut. The waters crystal clear Until your blood runs through it. The strangle hold you had on me Will someday loosen.
8.
I’ve been saving it all in a box with a lock on it stuffed in the back of a forgotten broom closet. and I'm so honoured to share another night with you. Im no longer scared or wondering what to do. I know you think you're worthless but to me you are perfect. When I go wait for me. I can tell you're lost and need someone to lean on that someone could be me. This lighter that I just bought burns old flames. You are everything I ever wanted. I think you're perfect for me.
9.
Im reserved and careful You are wild and carefree You're the reason for all my grief and who i wish i could be. You were stone and I was glass. You're Victory and I am defeat. You were stone and I was glass Until you Shattered Me. Nothing that you say I can understand. Not a single word I can comprehend.
10.
It took too long to see that it's not as bad as it seems. and the life I used to prasie. was actually standing in my way. it made me feel closer to home. wake me when we reach the coast. I feel abaonded by it now. Nobody answers when i call out. I feel further away than last weekened it feels like im sinking in quicksand. Each piece of me feels like the past. I still have so much left to unpack. I stayed up too late. I slept the day away. I guess it doesn't matter anyway.

about

Every Year I take part in the RPM Song Writing Challenge to write 10 brand new original songs during the month of February. This year, "Ten Years" is what I came up with.

...I went a little overboard with the whole "Ten" thing.

Ten Years:
I started with the idea that each song could represent a year of a decade. I figured With the 2010's just recently ending (and my 20's along With it) that decade would be easy to write about. So this album basically summarizes some aspect of each other those years.

Ten Chords:
I used only 10 different chords.

Ten Drum Beats:
I got my friend (and fellow The Goodbye Summer member) Alex Heibein to record 10 different drumbeats for me to mix & match across the record. These were the only drums I used.

Ten Guitars:
Just Kidding.
